The absence OF snow at this time of
the year has somewhat depressing
effect upon business and in many lines
of trade it makes its mark. The freight
business on the railroads will increase
very considerably as soon as the snow
does come, az many are waiting until
they can use runners before they try to
move their merchandise to the railroad
stations. Et Is unusual to have no snow
at so late period in the winter but that
condition is in keeping with the general
warmth of the atmosphere and the open
tate OF the river. There is but little
snow in the woods, not enough to make
good hauling, and the lumbermen among
others are hoping for such storm as
will give them the roads that they desire.
