D one. Blizzards and winds of rake & Y ve- locity played havoc with the air mail. Extreme temperatures handicaped efforts to loose the hold of the he: snows, and the weather bur «pro ns little relief for at least two days. In Montana, Wyoming and Col- orado the mercury dropped to 30 be- low, the southwest shivered in be- low-freezing weather and temper- atures hovered about zero on mid- west thermometers. Fruit Crop Menaced Cxlifornia reported cold but not severe weather. s Smudge pots were mo@nted abaut the fruit groves, and motorcycle rs watched the ther- mometer, ready to ride with a warn- ing when the mercury approached ethe danger point. Ranchers in the plains states were warned to protect their livestock from the weather. In western Wisconsin several towns were dark last night through inability to repair broken electric power lines, and water supplfes, pumped by electricity, were in grave danger. There was much suffering in the big cities. At Chicago, where an un- official reading was three degrees below zero, half a hundred families were driven to the streets by fires, most of which were attributed to overheated furnaces and stoves. In the 18 hours ending at midnight, 62 fire alarms were answered. Many Deaths Eight persons were dead in the wake of the northwest’s storm, four deaths were counted in the plains states and two men were frozen to death in the heart of the corn belt. Throughout the entire western portion of the United States the snowfall was unseasonably exten both as to depth, as much as 10 fect in some places, and as to area cov- ered. In western Canada the blizzard which began Sunday night was called the worst since 1907, and Alaskans were alarmed for the safety ef re dents of the Aleutian Islands, where even the three radio stations have not been heard from since the bliz- zard began. 2nd FOLO 18 BELOW CREWS OUT TO CLEAR MINNESOTA HIGHWAYS St. Paul, Dee. 14.—()—Thirty be- low sero temperatures were reported in the northwest states today, bring- ing the coldest weather of the season.
