THAT NORTHWEST COUNTRY.


As the reports from that northwest
blizzard blown region continue to come
to hand the awful extent Of the calamity
begins to be Appropriated, and yet only
approximated. The terrible calamity
will never be told In all Its frozen hor-
rors. Hard upon Its heels comes the re-
port from the storm signal stations in
the northwest that more fearful storm
even than this life destroying one is
gathering Its forces in the north and is
getting ready to swoop down upon
Minnesota and Dakota. The mer-
curry at Fort Sully had dropped
to fifteen degrees below zero
after the late rise and the wind was be-
ginning to howl. No reports from
Browns valley, a settlement OF 1900 peo-
pie right in the heart of the blizzard
blown region, having been received for
several days, grave fears are enter
tained for the safety Of the entire will
age. No trains have reached there since
last Chrlstmas, owing to snow blockade;
the county roads are filed with snow
which is about four feet deep on the
level and communication Is cut off. On
Sunday a man made his way on snow
shoes eight miles to another settlement
and reported not pound of coal nor q
stick of fire wood in the village. After
consuming all there was, the
Inhabitants demolished the rail-
road buildings to supply them
selves withheld and the end is not yet.

ing q hundred fold, and 10 the light of
such oslamsties and sufierings, one for

forts Of this region during q drouth

summer.
As was remarked by gentleman
frsm Virg mia last evening In converse
ton upon this subject. "Why will
people settle In those blizzardy regions
when there is so much land upoccupled
In more desirable sections OF the
country" The LIGHT leaves Its readers
to puzzle over this query, believing for
Itself that the solution lies In the simple
fact that the northwest has been freely
advertised In Europe and New York,
and the southwest has not.
