Gloucester, Mass, Jan. 7.-Sev-
eral men from Twillingate, Green
Bay, Newfoundland, arrived here to-
day en- route to Seattle to engage in
seal fishery. They report the cod
fish and her ring catch this season
on Newfoundland's coast as poor
and the Labrador catch as fairly
good. The stories of starvation in
that locality, they say, are false and
the people are quite comfortable.
Bismarck, d. T., Jan. THE
terrific snowstorm which has been
raging throughout the Northwest for
a week past shows no signs of abate-
ment. 1t has fallen steadily in this
section for the past week, and is the
heaviest storm known in the history
of the Territory. Small houses on
the outskirts of the city are rendered
entirely indistinguishable, being
completely covered with snow. Traf-
fic is rendered entirely out of the
question. Farmers will not venture
into the city, and there are many
who are here waiting until after the
storm abates before venturing home.
10 add to the distress a fierce north
wester is blowing and drifting snow
from one place to another, forming
at the same time huge hiss.
