EVENTS IN CENTRAL
EMPIRE IMP ORTANT
WASHINGTON STATES
Officials Are Led to Believe
That Great Popular Up
rising Is In Progress

Washington, Jan. 31.--The most i'm
portant events in the history of the
war are believed impending today in
the central empires.
Withholding official comment ON re-
ports of great strikes in Germany and
Austria, uTaisings against the govern
ment in Austria Hungary, revolt VT the
Czechs and socialists in the Austrian
army and destruction of vast amounts
of war supplies in both countries, the
state department is utilizing every
source to learn the truth behind the
Teuton curtain of censorship.
That SO much news of unrest in Ger
many is being allowed to creep over the
borders is regarded at once with salts
faction and suspicion by officials here.
In the past such news has been care
fully guarded. Little is now reaching
the outside world from Austria, where
the greatest upheaval is believed going
on. This censorship, it is stated on
high authority, clearly confirms the
government IS information that events
of tremendous import are transpiring
in the dual monarchy.
Meantime, this government is keep.
ing the people of Austria Hungary in
formed of events transpiring in the
rest of the world. The United States
is blasting the German censorship with
and other means of COM
with the Austro,Hungar-
ians. The unrest in Germany is being
communicated to the workmen of Aus
tria and so far as possible the Germans
in west front trenches are being kept
of conditions in Austria.
Officials here see in the German and
Austrian difficulties not only unrest
at economic conditions, but a sincere
for greater representation
n economic conditions, but a sincere
for democratization Pres

Prospect For Snow
Pleases Power Company

At least one man in town was feel
ing cheerful this morning as a result of
the sold snap that strrck the valley last
evening. That was w. M. Hamilton,
division manager of the P. R. l.. & P.
company. Mr.. Hamilton assigned as the
reason for his cheerfhlness the prospect
the colder weather brought for snow.
There is no snow on the mountains any
where at the present time, which means
that the streams of the valley will be
very short of water next summer unless
snow falls in the mountains between
now and spring. With low water in the
streams on which are located the COM
pany's generating plants it means that
much of the power and current supplied
by the company through the summer will
have to be generated by steam. 1t costs
more to generate electric
current by steam than by hydraulic
power, and Mr.. Hamilton says the pres
emit power and light rates to consumers
are now based on the cost of hydraulic
generation rather than steam. Conse-
9uently, Mr.. Hamilton states, all the
electrical men of the northwest are hop
ing it will turn cold and snow.
