good many winters. but this one beats
'em all Why. said Folsom. there is no
let up-it seems to be continuous snow
suow-snow. | dnn't know what we will
do If this weather keeps on much longer

is not a change soon.
How do you like the weather? was the

The ARGUS reporter-Like il; why, /

Rock Island before. that is. to continue
so long I am tired of it, and guess
everyone else is. too.
E. G. Chopper. who keeps weather
diary end is regarded as authority in notes
of seasons, thinks that, this winter there
has beeB more snow than in any other
season. We have had winters which were
colder, but there was generally no snow.
This winter seems to be the worst for
snow We have had.
George Lamont says be fears the effect
of SO much snow will be an overflow in the
spring, don't like this weather. There
is ne let up to it, Snow comes when
winter does to DO sure. but for my pars l
weuld sooner have few sharp .oold spells
than this never ending snow. | have had

Asd SO talk a dozen or more old settlers
who have watched the seasons-they
think this winter we have had more sncw

haps-but go much OF it.
