Snow Storm Blocked Roads

The snow that fell last week is still
with us, but the roads that were
blocked have nearly all been reopen
ed. II is not often that We have a
more complete blockade of our public
ROADS than that which followed last
weeks big snow storm. HIGHWAYS and
byways were so filled that il was DAYS
before travel over them vas possible.
Men on horseback broke the trails, then
sleighs and wheeled vehicles pushed
through, but automobiles are not vet
able to make much headway. The
roads from Shepherdstown to Martins
burg and also from this place to Shen-
andoah Junction were closed for several
days. and automobile travel is not vet
established. The Mary and State Roads
were completely blockaded, and at
many points along the line automobile
travellers were held up and had to re-
main for three or four days at farm
houses or in the villages and towns.
The BUSES running out Of Hagers-
town were stopped for some time, but
are now making their trips again.
The weather kept quite cold until
yesterday, when it moderated and
softened the snow some. The sleigh
ing has been fine and all sorts of
Sleighs were gotten out and busted
and the bells have been janglinp like
old times. The coasting has been un-
usually good, and the young folks
have been enjoying lots Of fun on the
hills in and about town. II has been
real old-fashioned winter weather
and folks generally have enjoyed il

it than those who are past their youth

matism is abroad In the land.
The storm played havoc with the tele,
phone lines all through the East The
high winds that accompanied the
snow broke the poles short of, and
in falling the lines were badly tangled
The Jefferson County Telephone Com
PAW had lots of trouble, but it is once
more getting Strengthened out. AS a
sample OF the damage done, it may be
mentioned that twenty-one poles were
broken of in the FIVE miles between
Shepherdstown and Dufields. Other
lines in the county were also affected

The Jefferson County Telephone
Company is assembling a large num-
Der OF new poles on the lot back OF
the Charles Town postoilce, in pre-
paration for replacing Old poles with
them wherever needed. A preservative
treatment will be given the new poles
before they are planted, the high cost
OF them making such treatment neees-
sary. Set in the ground without any
preservative treatment, pole will last
from ten 10 eighteen years. Expert
ence shows that they decay at the sur
face OF the ground, and just above
and below the surface, faster than any
where else. Manager Cetzendanner
has bought a preparation Of creosote
with which each pole will be coated
one or more times where decay inhicts
its first ravages. II IS confidently ex-
pected that the treatment will prolong
the usefulness Of the pole by several
years.

largely due. however TO the fact It
was the first game for this combina-

Tho noor work OF the combination
was poor. They have not developed
a good passing game yet. and also
showed a weakness in shooting from
