The cold weather that has been visit
ing our neighbors for the past three days
reached Bozeman yesterday, and with
out exception last night was the coolest
of the season, the thermometer reaching
30 degrees below zero. However, there
was no wind and the clear cold atmos-
phere was without the disagreeable and
danger of the Dakota blizzard. We often
hear people from warm climate speak
of billiards in Montana without knowing
Of what they speak. A blizzard can only
exist on . bare, treeless plain, where the
wind has an unobstructed sweep, carry
ing before it binding loose snow. The
so-called blizzard, like the sand storms of
the Sahara, come up when least expect
ed, woe.betide the traveller who is dis
tant from shelter. In Fargo few years
agoit was necessary to suspend rope
from the school house to the Main street
in order to safely convey the scholars to
their homes during very severe storm,
which lasted three days with undated
fury. That was blizzard. Such are
unknown in Montana, owing to its tim
Der, altitude and mountains. Sometimes
IN the largest table lands Of Montana,
high winds prevail, but only for short
period, and never with the effects that
exist in an extensive prairie country Of
the north, or Montana would never have
been classed as the best cattle-raising
country in the world.
