and it is now lying fiat on the
ground, ruined beyond recovery.

ever known since the first settl-
ment of the country. We are not
a calamity howler nor an alarmist
at midnight, but the hardest times
ever known ON Camas Prairie are
at hand and the wise man will
govern himself accordingly.

1 ground Other parties have suffer
f ed proportionately. Limbs were
e broken from the trees by tn,
weight of the wet snow and othel
5 damage done. There was hope
. that some of the grain would re
t cover with warm weather, but tn,
second storm on Tuesday morn
:, ing left us to face the worst.
