THE FIRST blizzard.


On Monday night last the first snow
fall of the season set in. 1t was at first
light, feathery and dry. and continued
so during the most Of Tuesday. BY
night the wind had got we'll toward
the northwest, and before Wednesday
a good old time ''Nor'wester" WAS
on. 1t ragged yesterday with some
thing like the vigor of the early biz.
yards, but the snow was not as fine and
dusty or doury, the gale was not so
heavy and the cold was less intense. It
is i storm similar to that which set in
on the night Of the 18th of November,
1872, but it is milder.
Yesterday was practically holiday.
Business was dull and merchants and
clerks ate apples and smoked-clay and
and corn-cob pipes. Huge drifts are
lying before all the buildings on the
northeast side of lOth-st. and nearly
everywhere else where there was any
obstacle to stop the drifting and flying
snow.
The night train from St. Paul got as
far as the coal sheds and stuck in the
drifts. 1t lay there during the day un-
able to reach the depot. The passen-
gers found their way up town and
some forty breakfasted at the Wor-
thington. There are two coaches at
tached Carrying party of excursion
lists bound for California. They for
aged upon their lunch baskets and the
adjacent hotels, and have had lively
experience for the first day out. 1t re-
minds US of that memorable blizzard of
Nov. Is, IA and Is, 1872, when a train
was caught at our depot and all took
refuge in the Worthington hotel, where
with music, games and dances at night
they whiled the three days and nights
away.
The indications are all for long
blockade winter. 1t rarely or never
fails to follow these early October or
November billiards. We have before
reminded our readers that heavy snow.
fall follows dry seasons. It looks to us
as though we were booked for a hard
| winter.
AS we 60 to press, this morning, the
storm has abated and the sun is shi.
| ming.
The Thermometer indicated 3 to 4 be.
low zero early this morning.

PROPOSED CONSOLIDATION OF MINNEAPOLIS Mill
UNDER ONE MANAGEMENT.

PROPOSED CONSOLIDATION OF MINNEAPOLIS MILLS
UNDER ONE MANAGEMENT.
The millers OF Minneapolis, Minnesota, are dis
cussing stupendous scheme to consolidate
all the mills under one management. 1t is a
matter which has been talked OF more or less for
the past three years, but lately it has been con-
sidered seriously, Active steps have been taken
which are expected to result in consolidation.
The scheme possesses many advantages. The cost
OF buying wheat and selling flour would OF course
amount TO very little Such a combination would
make as much or as little flour desired
and It would control such product as IL placed
upon the market. Its effect on the trade would
be enormous, and II would be an institution as
powerful as the Standard Oil company. There
are, however, many difficulties to over
come In forming the company. among which
are the arriving at the proper valuation OF
each piece of property, value OF brands,
trade, etc. II the combination was formed the
company would have capital OF $4,000, 600; IL
would take In all the mills except the Washburn
mills, which, under the will OF the late GOV.
Washburn, cannot become party TO such an or
ganizatfon. At meeting OF the millers held sew
eral days ago a committee was appointed to con-
slider and report on feasible plan for making the
consideration. The committee has not yet made q
report.
