per cent of the automobiles made

The records of the company show
that despite snow and ice in the
Eastern and Northwestern sections
of the country 33 per cent OF the
cars being delivered today are being
driven away by dealers.
The traffic experts predict that
there will be no relief IN the next

thanks the teachers Of this country

thanks to Leopold Lichtenberg and

first as virtuoso, he has travelled
extensively throughout The United
States and Canada. For seven long
years he officiatcd as concertmaster
OF the New York Scandinavian Sym

striving in the cause Of the Morse
music. In later years he won dis
tinction as director Of the violin de-
partment of the Berkeley Institute.
He is an enthusiast and a Musician
of rare quality. To the Trio which
now bears his name he has been a
real and cver-resourceful inspira-
ton.

TW|NTREE SAWNILL
BURNED At HOPKINS
Loss Estimated At 100000
WEI Rebuild Burned Struc
lures At Once

WAYCROSS, Feb. 8.-The saw
mill of the Twintree Lumber COM
pany, of Hopkins, Ca, one of the
largest lumber mills in the state, was
completely destroyed by fire short
ly after o'clock Wednesday morn
ing. The fire, which started from a
hot box in one of the machines,
spread rapidly and in spite of every
effort upon the part of the employees
of the company to save the building
the mill was soon a roaring furnace
of flames. The mill was equipped
with chemical eXtinguishers, a water
pump, water barrels and buckets,
and all of these were brought to
bear upon the flames but to no avail
Stacks containing thousands of
feet of lumber arranged near mill
were not injured by the flames, the
fire being held to the main build
ing of the mills. The mills, which
is of 100000 feet day capacity,
is fairly well covered by insurance.
The damage from the fire is estimat-
ed at 100000.
R. P. Richardson, manager of the
company, stated yesterday morning
that the building would be rebuilt
Immediately, and that in all proba-
bllity the plant would again be in
operation by summer. Plans are al
ready under way for the reconstruc-
zion OF the building. No one was in
Jured in the flames, all of the en-
ployes escaping from the building be-
tore the flames had gained sufficient
Roadway to entrap any of the men
employed in the plant.

Driving up to Dotsero early in the

and they were able to drive their car
about two O'Clock in the afternoon,
the four-foot snowbanks were soft, and
the car dropped through them, ker-
plunk, and then the fireworks started.
They speeded up the motor and tried
to go forward and then backward
but all without result. They talked
nice to the old boat, and then INDUCED
in loud, peremptory threats, but all to
no purpose. Finally they sought the
aid of Billy Richards at Deep creek,
and Billy and DR.. Moore welded their

YOUNG man
DIES IN STORM
George Summers Loses His
Life While Attempting to
Reach Mountain Home
FUNERAL IS HELD HERE

The Pos: last week mentioned the
death of George Summers, son Of Mr..
and Mrs. Geo. L. Summers, who was
found dead in the snow near the Sum.
mers home, but at that time no par
ticulars could be obtained concerning
the time or cause of death. In an in.
terview with Mrs. Summers, the re-
porter obtained the following story of
the unfortunate catastrophe and the
hardships which Mrs. Summers and
children endured:
Mr.. Summers and son, George, left
two weeks ago Tuesday, March goth,
for Grand Valley. From there Mr..
Summers came to Glenwood to spend a
few days, and his son turned back
towards home and reached the Peter
Lindauer home at the foot of the falls
about 12 miles from Grand Valley,
where he stayed all night. As the
Summers had not been down for the
mail for seven weeks, George was to
bring the mail home and was to be
met by smaller brother with horse
the following day. The understanding
between Mrs. Summers and her son was
that if it stormed Tuesday night or
Wednesday she would not send the
smaller boy to meet George, but that
George was to remain at the Lindauer
home.
Tuesday night the equinocital storm
began and it showed all night on top
of Book cliffs, where the Summers
ranch is located, and the following
morning three feet of snow had COM
pletely covered the well beaten path
which the horses had made from the
Summers house about two miles to the
top of n precipice where they were to
meet George. On account of the storm
and raging blizzard, Mrs. Summers
supposed her son had followed their
agreement and was safe at the lin.
dauer home. About O'Clock Thurs.
day afternoon, however, the storm
cleared and she sent her son, Tim,
aged eleven years, to see if he could
see anything of George. He returned
In short time and with much excite.

house and that he was frozen TO DEATH

Citizens Ticket Which STANDS
for Law and Order Won
by Small Majority
TWO NON.PARTISANS

The municipal election held last
Tuesday was very quiet and unevent-
full affair, although the vote was large
in proportion to the registration. It re-
suited in the election of Mayor Nc
Donald and the entire Citizens ticket,
with two exceptions, Treasurer Weir
and Alderman Thome being defeated by
Mrs Shower and Mike Bosco on the
Non-Partisan ticket.
While there was no well defined
issue before the people, it became ap-
parent early in the day that strong
effort was being made to defeat Mayor
Mcdonald and the present council, and
this opposition was especially severe
in the first ward where the present
administration recently raided a gamb-
| ling joint and caused the arrest and
conviction of two of the participants.
They therefore drew the antagonism

penditure of public monies for the con-
struction of state highway from

over rough section Of country, as it
is claimed that such road when COM
