Another severe snow storm in the

useless to speculate on future prob

An exchange truthtully says: "If
all farmers could be brought to real
ize the fact that stock in bad flesh is
more liable to disease than when in
fine bodily condition, vast amount
Of trouble, expense and money would
be saved"
R. L. Fulton, of Reno, passed
through to-day on his return from
New York. He says the snow reaches
as far east as the Black Hills in Wy
oming, beyond which there is none
and the weather is lovely. During
the trip through Nebraska it was at
times SO warm that the windows of
the cars were kept open. ~
VIM. Snow informs us that LeR
Wines lost another valuable horse a
few days since by driving him into a
huge snow drift where he became
swamped and remained over night.
The horse was rescued next day but
died from exposure. Wines managed
with great eXertion to get to house
after he left the horse, otherwise he
too would undoubtedly have persisted
in the storm which prevailed at the
time.
Protectionists tell us that the duty
is not added to the price which the
consumer pays for imported goods,
When they succeed in making the
people believe that the freight is not
added to the price which consumers
pay to the merchant for goods then
they can, perhaps, hoodwink the peo-
pie. The tariff is as much part of
the cost of imported goods as the
freight is part Of the cost of goods
brought from San Francisco, or any
other city, by our merchants.
VIM. Snow arrived from Ruby VAL
ley yesterday, having made most of
the trip on snow shoes. He gives a
gloomy account of the situation in
that part of the country on account
of the great depth of SNOW and scare
ity Of feed. Horses and ca: tie are
dying by hundreds, and there seems
no probability of saving any except
what few can be fed. 1t is deplor-
able state Of affairs for which there
seems to be no remedy, and we heart
lily sympathize with those who are
sustaining such heavy losses.
Last evening about 10 o'clock west
bound freight. train stuck in q snow
drift just below the water tank, about
q mile below town. Being unable to
get through a dispatch was sent to
Carlin in response to which special
train with a force of over twenty
shovelers came up and went to work
to clear the track. This occupied
the time until about 2:30 this morn
ing when the obstruction was re-
moved, the workmen were served with
a hot meal, the liberated train pro-
ceeded on its journey and the wreck
ing train returned to Carlin.
