Wind and a Falling Mercury. SRR Special Dispatch to The Call. e | VANCOUVER, Nov. 19.—One of the ! flercest storms that ever swept over this | province has been raging for three days. | Last night and to-day it was at its| height all through British Columbia, and to-night reports from the interior are that the snowfall {s very heavy. The wind has blown it into drifts and many roads and \rans are impassabie. Settiers in dis- tricts that are not even remote have been cut off from communication with the out- side world. Passengers on incoming trains say the snowarifts are plled up | several feet high along the tracks. { A great deal of suffering has been caused by the sudden cold snap, which is unprecedented for this season of the year. ~'The only death so far reported is that of Patrick Roach, a mill employe at lant at Port Moody, twelve miles from vancouver. Roach was found this morn- ing a few yards from his cabin door, where he had fallen and frozen to death. He_had left a tavern at the village at midnight, and his tracks in the snow were evidence that he took a very rambling course on his way to his little cabin. On the Chilcoten plains the Indians have been in a half-starving condition all through the fall, and now they ave in dire stralts. The principal inconvenience in the coast cities is a famine of coal. There are lists of unfilled orders a yard long in ail the coal companies’ offices, but none of the hard or anthracite variety can be ob- | tained. Additional damage has been caused to telephone and telegraph wires, and the work of repairing is practically at a standstill. At Nelson during the windstorm last night several Kootenai Lake steamers broke from their moorings and were da | m- | aged.
