WONTAIN REGION IN BLIZZARD GRIP Western Highways Blocked, 0l Kansas City, Feb. 8§ (UPM—The southwest and Rocky Mountain states today anxiously awaited some relief from the worst blizzard ef the winter. The disturbance was felt as far west as Southern California, where frost threatened damage in the citrus districts. ‘The storm heading southeastward after apreading a new blanket of snow over Colorado, Turther hinder- ed railroad transportation in some regions, lashed Kansas and Okla- homa with all its fury, and dropped the mercury to the lcwest marks of the season at some points. High- ways in the two states and also in Nebraska, were blocked by a three to five inch snow fall. Operations in the oil and mining districts were halted. Trains arriving in Kansss City from the west were from one to two hours behind schedule. Heavy Smow in Texas Heavy snow also was reported in the Texas Panhandle. There was rain in the southern section of the state. In Missouri from one to three inches of snow fell. In the wheat belt the additional snow was greeted as a benefit to growing grain crops. Temperatures dropped to as low @8 26 degrees in the California cit- rus districts, but it was believed no serious damage was done. The mer- cury was expected to go even lower tonight, and citrus growers were prepared for smudgipg in some sec- tions. Southeastern New Mexico report- 4 its first snow of the winter. Near gero temperatures prevailed in Ne- vada, Utah and Idaho. In Wyoming the mercury dropped to as low as 40 degrees below at Basin, SAN JOSE NISSION NOW DILAPIDATED Souvenir Seekers and Time Causes of Its Condition San Antonio, Feb.\8 UP—Those who pause before San Jose mission see only fragments of the beauty which has made it known as “the gem of missions.”, \ Treasure seekers, neglect and time have ruined many of the elab- orate ornamentations. The mis- sion was built about 1720 and all the work was done by priests. The delicate carvings of the famous “rose window,” which has been studied by architects from all parts of the world, are said to have been made by one Huicar as his expression of despair over an unre- quited love. The legend is that Hul- car, having amassed a fortune as a conquistador, was returning to Spain to be married when he learn- € that his intended bride had mar- ried another. He donned the robes of a priest. The cloisters still stand, llthoulh they are roofiess. The smaller chapel at the base of the tower is intact and masses are still said there for Mexican families. On its walls hang three paintings, brought from Spain, which are so faded the subjects can scarcely be made out. The tower is one of the most in- teresting parts. A spiral stairway, hewn from the trunk of a single tree, leads to the belfry. The tower collapsed some time ago, but photo- graphs made possible the replacing * of almost every stone in its proper place. The belfry once held a carrillon noted for its beautiful tone. Legend says this tone was due to gold thrown into the’ crucible when the bells were cast in Spain. Don Luis Angel, who was to marry Teresa, had gone to Texas, where he met death and was buried in the shadow of the tower at 8an Jose. Teresa, realizing the bells would peal a requiem over his grave, walk- ed to the crucible and threw in the golden ornaments he had given her. Only a few of the bells are left, and these are In a 8an Antonio museum, Another legend about the building —that priests had buried a great treasure near it—has caused gold hunters to burrow under the foun- dations, and these excavations are blamed for the collapse of the roof and the tower. 8an Jose is older than the mis- sions in California. .
