2Sth of February which lasted five days. The
storm at times was SO severe that people could
not go out. The snow drift in the road in
front of Mrs. Whitney's residence was 172 feet
long and 20 feet deep. A tunnel was cut
through the snow to form road for wagons
to pass Tho storm is represented as being the
worst in the memory of the Oldest inhabitant.
The very thought of it is enough to send
shiyer down ones spinal column! How thank
full we should bo that our lot is cast in Da
kota, where storms do not rage and the sun
shines more or less every day in the year. 1t
has long been wonder to us why people will
continue to live In the bleak, damp, foggy
and rocky States Of New England, when the
great Northwest with its healthy and exhiler-
ating climate, is ready to receive them with
outstreched hands,

A Decision OF Interest.

A very interesting case has Just been decided
by the supreme court Of the United States. It
is in regard to the binding force Of speculative
contracts. A Cleveland firm instructed Chica-
go house to buy pork on future delivery; the
market dropped and additional margins were
put up. Then there was further decline,
and the Cleveland firm failed to respond to the
call for margins and the deal was closed out.
The brokers sued the Cleveland men for the ad-
ditional amount necessary to make the deal
good. The United States circuit court rendered
decision for the defendant and ordered the
brokers to refund the amounts previously
earned, claiming the transactions were of a
gambling character. The United States su-
preme court now reverses this decision and in
structs the lower court to enter judgment
against The Cleveland parties for the amount
originally claimed.-Fargo Aryus.
