C. A. Griffin has been looking
after the Rev- T. J. Hill property
scraping the snow from the barn
during the'storm.
(too late for last week)
The chinook wind which has
been blowing all day is a very
welcome guest. The situation
wa9 looking very grave. The
cold weather with the snow at
a depth of from 4 feet and pre
dictions of still more severe
weather, made those who have
stock to feed feel rather blue.
Rain and sleet has fallen for two
days past and a heavy crust had
formed on top of the snow which
made traveling very hard. But
the snow is melting very fast
today and has already settled 12
or 18 inches. Should this state
of affairs continue it will be sev
eral days before even the hill
side will be bare. '
This place has been practically
without mail service for more
