STATE is TIED UP
BY sLEET STORM
RAILROAD AND WIRE SERVICE
ARE SUSPENDED FOR
SEVERAL DAYS.
GREAT HAVOC IN FOX RIVER VALLEY
Electric Light and Power Shut Off in
Several Cities as Result of Broken
Wires-Worst sleet Storm in Wis
eonsin's History.

Milwaukee, Feb. 2S.-Details of the
most disastrous sleet storm in Wis
consin's history, which swept the state
on February %, Washington's birth
day, are just beginning to reach this
city.
The storm was general throughout
the state, but it appears to have been
most severe in the Fox River valley
and in the section lying between Lake
Winnebago and Lake Michigan. These
districts were completely cut off from
outside communication for four days
Train service all over the state was
practically abandoned last Thursday
and in many instances passengers in
trains marooned between stations
were threatened with starvation.
The storm began the evening of
February 81, starting with a heavy
rain, which fell Internationally all the
following day and then froze in heavy
masses on trees, wires and poles.
Trees were bent nearly to the ground
by the great weight. A few hours
later a strong wind came UP, creating
great havoc. Streets and roads were
made impossible by masses of tangled
wires, limbs of trees and broken poles.
In, several cities it was found neces-
sary to shut off all electric light and
power lines because of the danger of
electrocution from broken wires.
Green Bay Hard Hit.
Details of the worst sleet storm and
blizzard in the history of Green Bay
were received here yesterday. For
seventy-two hours the city had been
cut off from the world. Traffic was
at an absolute standstill from D. M
Wednesday to 10 D. m Thursday. Not
a train on any of the three railroad
lines moved. Only three telegraph
lines We're left-one to Shawano. one
to Wrightstown and one to Houghton,
Mich. Communication by telephone
stopped. Not single toll circuit was
working. Hundreds of poles crumpled
under the load of sleet-covered wire

ELECTRIC COMPANY GIVES
FINE SERVICE-DAMAGE
is HEAVY

The storm of last week was covered
as thoroughly as possible in last
Thursdays issue of The Pilot, but its
abatement had hardly been noticed
until the paper went to press. No
storm like it, old settlers say, has
ever been experienced in Wausau in
recent years
Thursday end Friday we're days that
took one back to pioneer times. The
city seemed isolated. No trains ar
rived: few departed. In the city the
streets were so completely damned
up by huge banks of snow that no
automobiles endeavoreG to get around
and from the country there were no
incoming teams.
Probably the most serious accident
of the storm was suffered by the Mar
athon Motor Car company, part OF
the roof of which caved in. The J.
M. Kuebler company suffered a sim
liar loss. AS soon as these accidedts
Secame known property owners of
every down town building commenced
to have their roofs shoveled. All of
the mills of the city had large crews
at work, until by Friday all danger
of any further collapse of roofs
seemed past. II is to be marveled
that there we're not further and more
serious mishaps, because the snow
which fell ON Wednesday was much
the same as sand and as heavy al
most as an equal amount Of water.
Renders Fine Service
The Wisconsin Valley Electric COM
pany rendered remarkable service
during the storm. Its lines were open
all of the time, men being kept at the !
work of keeping the track clean from |
the start. The company deserves the
appreciation of the whole communi-
ty for it's prompt and efficient ham
ding of the situation. Had 1t moi
been for the work of the electric COM
papy. Third street would hardly have
been in shape for traffic until this
week. "The storm stopped just in
time or we should have been COM
PEELED TO give in" said H. L. Giesse
The Wausau Telephone company
likewise rendered excellent service TO
is customers only few telephones
being out of commission during the
'torm. These were repaired as quick
y as repair men could reach the
Ipot. Some fuses were burned out
Ind in country districts 1t was i'm
possible TO make repairs until the day
lfter the storm had subsidized The ;
'eason for the stability of Wausau
telephone service is that the lines are
Utmost altogether underground. The
Bell Telephone company and the Wes-
ern Union Telegraph company suf-
cred severe loss OF property and In |
ONE parts of the state where sleet !
nd rain were worst, these lines win
ave TO be almost entirely rebuilt.
4ong distance connections beyond
stevens were impossible for several q
lays and Milwaukee could not be
cached by telegraph until some time
fter the sctorm.

commenced to run on time. This
immense fall OF snow was not fol-
lowed by an unusual spring freshet
but whether there was any connec-
ton between the heavy snow fall and
the wet year we cannot tell. On Sept.
20 and 80 Of that year there was a
general rainfall which produced a
fire shet that marks the highest water
ever known on the Wisconsin river.
There is possibility that the snow
this year may cause very high wat

Northern Wisconsin was totally iso-

Wausau was 100 per cent strong on
labor after the storm. II seemed like
the old days of prosperity.
After the fall of snow had ceased
many were out with their kodaks
taking pictures with which to back
up their tales of the big storm of Feb
ruary, 1922. d. A. Caldwell, secretary
of the Chamber of Commerce, took
over four dozen pictures. The de-
mand for these couldn't be filled.
Snow heaps ten to fifteen feet along
the side OF buildings were not unusual
and drifts through the country were
of such a character that roads were
wholly impossible. Earl Wittor says
that on the milk route Thursday he
not only broke the road into Wausau
from the town of Maine but that he
also had to break the road in the
city. 1T was certainly some job" he
declares.

years it will have entirely disappeared
Every means Of propaganda is used

The notices are varied, picturesque
and adapted to circumstances. Here
are some Of them:

land of song by oaths."
BE careful! If you swear, your
children will despise you and civilized
society will cast you Quit"

The committee wants guards and p0-

overheard using bad language in the
streets, names and addresses to be
posted up to public scOrn in the great
central square of Verona.
