(amp Travis Suffers Discomfort
From Cold and Dust.
t'amp Travis awoke Friday morn-
ng to its first snow and began the
ask of “digging out.'' Jn the face o!
i wind Thursday night which at
lines attained a velocity of fifty
niles an hour dust rain sleet and
mow w< re driven into buildings and
piled against the bunks of sleeping
soldiers. it was the cantonments*
>aptism of snow and there is a
amp-wide hope it will not happen
igain.
Early Thursday night dust clouds
‘went through camp the dirt sifting
nto barracks mess halls and kitch-
?ns. Bunks were almost hidden be-
neath the dust. Quickly on the
heels of the dust clouds came a
driving rain which .shortly was con-
certed into sleet. Snow soon fol-
lowed. Open air shafts with which
barracks buildings are equipped let
in the snow and great piles of it
were soon in every building. Soldiers
who were' sleeping beneath the air
shafts were awakened and a gen-
eral scramble to “get out from un-
der” followed bunks being removed
to the side of the buildings out of
range of the snow.
The high wind proved a severe test
for the cantonment buildings which
| withstood it without damage. Maj.
I A. A. Hofmann camp quartermas-
ter. stated Friday that no property
• riiiPKc occurred. He said the camp
j had not prepared for sin h extreme
weather but that the outcome was
h<rv satisfactory. While all the men
I were cold none suffered. Water pipes
were frozen but the loss on this ac-
rount if any will be small.
Some suffering was occasioned to
l-to. k at the camp out men were
put to work early Friday exercising
the animals.
The men themselves. in most in-
stamMwore either allowed to re-
| main about the stoves and radiators
"f wlnre the commander thought
' ■< -t. were put t<> drilling. A battalion
। of th< '!6oth drilled for two hours
.early Friday. the men wearing over-
। coats and carrying their rifles. The
ex« r< he took the chill out of their
bodies Friday afternoon other or-
ganizations also drilled.
At the 'tent city’’ near Fort Sam
• Houston where the Eleventh ami the
! Tw • nt y->. \vnth machine gun battal-
। ions are in training the cold caused
'some suffering.
Probably the lowest temperature
j of any of the army camps about
S. a Antonio was that at <’amp Stan-
•. Leon Springs Col. John D. L.
। Hartman telephoned to department
। headquarters Fridav morning that
the thermometer was down to six de-
Igrees above zero Thursday night.
Every water pipe in camp was
/rozcn ami everything and every-
body at camp is •'under the weath-
er.” Thousands of student officers
have just reported to the camp for
the third oti'icers reserve training
school.
CHOP DAMAGE JAGJIT.
Only IxHlucc Spinach and Young
Cabbage Suffer From Storm.
Though on the whole beneficial
to the country the severe storm ami
cold that hit St/uthwest Texas Thurs-
day night is doing some damage to
the more tender truck according to
produce men here. The losses will
not reach any very great figure they
say but lettuce spinach and young
cabbage still in the field is probably
all ki’kd out.
Most of the cabbage is already
sent to market from this section of
the state only the young plants being
left. Onions arc expected to sjiKr
little damage but the growth wJI
most likely bo checked ami ;:s a re-
sult the crop will be later than usual.

SLIGHT WIRE INTERRUPTION’.
Blizzard lx lays All Trains Hom
1 uinto West and North.
The tuegre; .1 and telephone < mi-
panies sem red only flight damage as
measured in dollars and cents from
the .-term although communication
to all points North and East of San
Antonio was frequently interrupted
during the early hours c< Friday
morning and entirely cut off to the
North at tim s. Communication had
been established to all points by 10
o'clock Friday morning according
to reports at the Western I nion
Mackay Postal and Southwestern
offices. The sleet weighed the wires
and at some points especially North
of Dallas many wires went down
under the load of snow and sleet.
The railroad wires held up well to
practically al! important points ac-
cording to advices received at the
dispatchers’ offices here Friday
morning. All trains were running
late from points West and North due
to the blizzard.
All passenger trains from the
North were from two to three hours
late in arriving but the.blaiuo was
not entirely due to the storm because
all trains have been running late for
two months due largely to the
heavy traffic for the government.
Government freight having the right
of way during the war passenger
trains especially if a few minutes
out of their schedule arc sidetrack-
ed to give a clear track for freight
at all times. Trains leaving San An-
tonio Thursday night for the North
and East running in the teeth of the
blizzard and almost hurricane wind
made .-low time and were reported
two and three hours late getting
into North Texas points.
EQUALS .1 INCH OF KAIN.
Weather Man Totals Fall of Rain
Sleet and Snow.
“If the snowfall measures a half
inch l ow much rain is that.'” in-
quired a voice over The Light tele-
phone Friday morning. “J measured
the snow in a sheltered place in
my yard and now 1 want to know
bow much rain that means. You see
we need rain.”
Inquiries of the same kind were
made at the local weather bureau
and Major Allen Buell explained that
roughiy speaking the number o;
Inches of snowfall divided by seven
would give the inches of rain. In
other words a seven-inch snow
would amount to an inch of rain.
Friday morning how* ver the pre-
cipitat’on could not oe estimated on
such a dimple formula for rain sleet
end snew fell. Major B».< 11 estimated
the total precipitation to amount to
. t of an inch and the n ;wfall to be a
quarter of an inch.
SAY CATTLE SI 1 FER.
Stockmen Think Losses Will Amount
to Hundreds of Heads.
Hundreds of heads of cattle have
or wi? be killed as a result of the
biizzaid in the opini >n of stockmen
in San Antonio. Losses they say.
will be felt throughout the South-
v est.
Some good will result from the
«ohl wave however. The enow fall
will help the small grains such au
oats that had not yet died for want
of water and will entourage the
rrowtn of weeds that will sprout in
early spring and /ivc the stock
something on which to graze.
Stock on the ranges has been con-
sidered in a weak condition for some
time owing to the fact that they
have been getting just enough feea
to keep them alive. Cattlemen fear
their consequent lack of stamina
has resulted in heavy mortality from
the cold.
As t » the feed crops stockmen say
though only little patches here and
there of the grain dependent on rain
were left when the suov r came these
few’ patches will produce a sizable
ouanthy of feed which will be sup-
plemented by a better stand of i
weeds than was expect d.

FLYING Is INTERRUPTED.
Ir . i sti rm Causes Inconvenience at
Kelly Field.
\V?h a thick covering of snow and
Av over the flying field no flying
v.a.s in progress at Kelly Field Fri-
day morning it is the first time
tliis winter that the weather has in-
terrupted the continuous program
of flying at Kelly No. 2. and this in-
terruption will be of short duration
for by noon the sun was throwing
the ice and snow oft' the field.
The experience however calls at-
tention to the dependence of the
student aviator on good weather and
emphasizes the reason why Kelly
Field has become the largest flying
center in the country. Students from
the northern schools have been sent
to Kelly where the program of fly-
ing from daylight to dark is rarely
interrupted by bad weather or
storms.
While the field wa.s frozen stiff and
fast F riday morning the greatest in-
convenience came from the wind and
dust storm which precede# the snow
and sleet. The clouds of dust raised
by the forty-eight mile w/id were
not only suffocating but blinding
and men could not sec across the
company street. Tents came down
in the blast and the headquarters
tents at both Training Brigade Head-
quarters were blown flat.
Though the rain was a relief from
the dust the sleet which followed
made every one hustle out overcoats
and sweaters and build up the fires
in the tent stoves. The wind and
snow throughout the night occasion-
ed inconvenience and in some in-
stances tents were blown down. As
all the tents have stoves it was re-
markable that no fires resulted but
throughout the night there was no
difficulty of that kind.
SNOWBALLING XT HOUSTON.
Employes of Stores and Pedestrians
Engage in Lively Battle.
HOUSTON Tex.. Jan. 11. —The
coldest weather since 1^99 early this
morning brought .a blanket of sleet
and snow for Houston s streets and
sent the thermometer down to 14
degrees.
Many of the city’s activities were
curtailed during the early morning
hours while store employes and ped-
estrians engaged in snowball battles.
At Camp Logan the snowfall
caused suspension of part of the
training schedule only. Freezing of
water pipes at the rifle range cut
off the supply for 1200 troops there
and may result in their recall to the
camp.
SNOW A BLOW’ TO STOCKMEN.
Ix>sses May Re Heavy But Grain
Growers Will Be Benefited.
FORT WORTH. Tex.. Jan. 11. —
Last night was the coldest in eight-
een years—the thermometer register-
ing 6 above. The blizzard though a
benefit to grain growers is doing un-
told damage to stockmen.
The losses it is feared will be
heavy for cattle are in no condition
to withstand the cold.
The snow sleet and rain raged here
all night and extended practically
everywhere in the stock and grain
territories west and northwest.

Brings Out a “Whizzcr.**
A sight that brought all pedes-
trians to a stop Friday morning was
a small boy. on a rude sled whizzing
behind a Ford to which his make-
shift conveyance was attached. It
was only a box. a soap box perhair
dignified by the addition of porch
chair runners on which it rocked
perilously but the passenger held
tightly on. while a rope tied to the
rear axle of the car yanked him
along. The deficiencies of his vehi-
cle disturbed him not a whit. His
face was one wide tgrin of enjoy-
ment. and all passersby smiled in
sympathy while the youngsters on
the street were frankly enviou”. as
the car and its •’trailer” sped down
Travis Street and around the block.
Schools Close at Toxakana.
TEXARKANA. Ark.. Jan. 11.—
The natural gas supply gave out n
many parts of this city today and
