ENFORCEMENT
Washington, D. C., Dec. 18.—PresI
dent Harding's conference with gov
ernors on prohibition enforcement will
take place today at the White House.
Sixteen state executives have signi

White Sulphur Springs, where tho
fourteenth governors’ conference was
held last week.

at the White Sulphur Springs confer

caused the date to be advanced.
In administration circles it is be
lieved, however, that another confer
ence will be necessary after January |
1, as many governors will be out of-
office after the first of the year and J
a new group will be charged with co '
operating in the enforcement of the
prohibition law. President Harding,
in reaching a decision regarding to
day’s conference, it was said, was con
fronted with this problem, but it was
though desirable to obtain the views
of those who have had experience in
dealing with the prohibition question
during the past few years, so as to
make It available for the new state
executives If another conference la
held.
Those who have indicated they will
attend the conference are: Governors

DAYS OF WINTER
BLOCKED RAILROADS
A THING OF THE PAST
St. Paul, Minn. Dec. 7.—The day
of blocked railroad lines in winter
due to huge snow drifts is gone.
Where periods of weeks of stalled
trains in the Northwest was experi
enced in the late eighties, and early in
the present century, snow plows
have reduced the stoppage to a mat
ter of hours, Northwest railroad
officials agree-
Flangers and snowplows — wedge
and rotary—are the most common
equipment used to keep the rails clear
all the various systems, although
in the deep cats and mountain terri
tory in the Dakotas and Montana,
gangs of half a dozen
more are necessary to fight the
precipitation.
The Northern Pacific railway
equips all locomotives with flangers,
attached near the wheels, which
forces the snow from the rails to the
wayside, the road superintendent
states. At all terminals wedge
plows are stationed, awaiting calls
from any section. In the mountain
districts, the rotary plow is used,
which furrows through the snow,
whirling it from the tracks.
Similar methods art used by the
Minneapolis and St. Louis, tha Great
Northern and tha Minneapolis, St
Paul and Sault Ste. Marie aystema

cases by the Great Northern in deep
cuts where the wind piles up drifts
too high for the plows to penetrate.
This road does not wait for calls to
arrive, but keeps all plows busy dur-

Railroad men declare that the de
lay occasioned by snow storms on
main lines has become negligible,
except in severe weather and terrific
storms, but admit more work is neces
sary on the branch lines because of
the inaccessibility of the plows. Some
railway officials are inclined to be
lieve that the winters in the North
west have been milder of recent
years, while others declared the use
of more modern equipment has made
it seem the weather had less effect
on the railroads.

game protector in Ohio in the person
