He reports over two feet of 1 snow In that community. 1 Considerably colder weather has prevailed here during the past few days. The second cold wave of the winter Is being noticed some, coming as it has on the heels of air ecep- tionally mild spell of weather, dur- I ing wnlch time there was much ; thawing of the snow, and but little freezing at night. Several inches of new snow fell during the past week, making the depth In the nearby hill sections around 16 inches on the level. The valley section is covered with eight or ten inches of snow and farmers and stockmen report condi tions ideal for feeding and coring for livestock. Practically all report an abundance of feed and feel that they will have plenty for all winter needs. No marked Improvement is noted in the hay sale situation, while there are some small sales being made each week, the bulk of It Is going out in lots of from one to four and fivo tons. The going price with the greater part of the haymen Is said to be around 98 per ton. Roads arc said to be quite good in most parts of the community. Cars are still in use on many of the outlying roads. Elmer Southwick, rural carrier on route No. 1 is still using his car, however. With the softening of the snow during the latter part of the week ho experienced - considerable difficulty in making some of the steep hills traversed by this route. Ho states that unless the roads are broken out and packed better In places that he will start using his team tho first of tho coming week. The past two winters have been ex ceptions Insofar as the use of cars at this season of the year are concerned. Last winter Mr. Southwick was able to use his machine the greater part of the winter and It was nearly the first of March before he was com pelled to change to horse-drawn ve hicles. Tho past several weeks have proved some of the best winter feed ing wather to be exprienced here in a number of years. A large amount of bright sunshine has been the rule during the past two or three weeks, with conditions just warm enough to thaw slightly during the middle of tho day and has not been very cold at night. Livestock have cleaned up their feed nicely and are practically all In excellent condition for this season of the year. more Hill "home was threatened by fire last nignu j F-om one' of those fire-places of , which he wrote "in them the logs ; roar and crackle during the long j winter evenings' sparks ignited the , roof and started a small blaze.
