The recent storm at Denver was the
most severe one of years, but the Neics
extracts comfort out of it in the following
words, which apply to the grazing regions
of the Rocky mountains;
Whatever else may be said of the
stormy, disagreeable weather we are hay
ing, it cannot be gainsaid but hat it is a
perfect godsend to the cattlemen. The
rain and snowstorms which have
prevailed with little intermission for
several days past, have thoroughly satu-
rated the rich soil, and a few days of
warm sun will cause the grass to grow Wig
orously and provide. the much needed
nutriment to the hungry cattle. Though
it is said ''it's an i'll wind hat blows no
body good, yet grumblers at the weather
should r~ecollect that the winds which
brought these %pruvidential storms to nour-
ish the thirsty cattle of this dry country
blow good for every man, woman and
child In the community, either directly or
indirectly. Good and cheap beef is a
matter that appeals to the stomachs and
pockets of every member of a family, and
without a plentiful supply of grass ON the
ranges this would be impossible.

another of their unique entertainments at
Fort Russell on Monday evening. May T.
This will be the last play of the season.
Their well selected programme, which is

contains among other features a domestic
drama entitled, The Harvest Storm, -
which, with its heart-rending scene, will
probably produce a tragic effect upon the
audience. The LEADER wishes these en-

Aside from war news this world Of ours
is rather a dull place just now, and news
is scarce. The Salt Lake Tribune appre-
ciates this fact and thus comments
upon 1t:
If any readers of the local papers here
feel like complaining that the papers are
dull, and feel justified in bewailing the
fact that no people with any brains ever
engage in the newspaper business in this
region, such persons should go to the
nearest newspaper office and look over
the eastern newspaper files. For a month
they have been fiat, stale and improbable
beyond description. When we come to
reflect for a moment, while there are a
good many newspapers, there are not a
great many brilliant newspaper men.
Every town has a good lawyer or two, a
physician who will kill according to the
formulas laid down in the books, a clergy
man who can establish by undoubted
authority that he can point out the only
real safe road to glory any amount Of
keen merchants; but when we come to
the newspaper, in nine cases out of ten
we find it in hands that are managing it
exactly as the groceryman does his sugar
he tries to make a neat package with an
odor of sweet about it, even while both
he and his customers know it is half
sand.
Times are dull-sand Is mixed with the
sugar, and it cannot be helped.
