. New YORK, December 31.-The fam
GUS contest over the estate Of the late
James Il. Paine, the miser of refined
taste and extraordinary intelligence,
who lived and died IN Becker Street

decided, to- day, by Surrogate Rollins.
de declined to admit the will, of which
James Il. Wardweli is sole legatee and
prepayment. holding that Paine was in
capacitated. Victory is won by the
Cleggotts, of Boston, the old mans
relatives, who opposed the attempt to
prove the alleged lost Will. John H.
WaFdwell did not live to witness his
defeat. The surrogate in his de-
cision says the petitioner sought pro-
bate of an instrument which was
claimed to have been executed by Paine
as his last will and testament. No,wiil

The Great snow Storm

MINEEAPoL1s, December 5I.-The
storm. which has prevailed throughout
the northwest for two days, shows
some signs of breaking, tonight.
Through all western points snow is
falling in greater or less quantities.
During this afternoon, the wind, which
throughout the storm has been from
the south, shifted to the northwest and
it is growing colder. Railway traffic is
generally interrupted, an several of
the less important western and south
ern railroads are entirely abandoned,
while the trunk lines are moving trains
with difficulty. The storm is most Sc
we're through northern Iowa, southern
and western Minnesota and Dakota.
In the latter section, it is regarded as
the worst for many years, and a, repe-
tition CT the famous blockade of 1880 is
looked for. This evening, it ranges
from 10 to 20 degrees above zero
throughout the northwest. The snow
fell is from one. to two feet.

Building stone Ee.r me ':itlion.

The following letter was wrl,ten for
the CHRISTMAS HERALD, but for some
reason unknown failed to reach this
Office until late last week. We cheer
fully give it space in the New Years
number, only regretting that it did not
arrive in time for the Christmas issue:
Wasatch County comprises some
$500 square miles, about O,0OO acres of
which are under cultivation. OF this,
about ,one-Aalf is meadow and one-half
is pasture. About three-fourths of the
county is Indian lands.
Our climate is well adapted to raising
cereals, wheat, oats, potatoes, hay and
vegetables. In the last ten years we
have almost doubled the yield of grain.
This year our yield oil grain is about
120, 900 bushels all told. The population
is little over 5000 souls, which will
average 40 bushels to every man. woaan
and child. Jb J VV0e -l}l- = -b
uFrom the above will be seen that we
are an agricultural community. We
are a stock-raising community also,
having some 10000 head of horned
stock; horses. 1000; sheep, 10000;
hogs, 1000. We have eleven mercan
tile establishments in the county, twelve
blacke NTH shops, three planning mills,
three grist mills and five saw mills.
