March will come in like a lamb and go
out Ikea lion, says Hicks. a bowling
blizzard will show up in the west and by
March 3 it will reach the Atlantic.
About the 9Th it will grow warmer. but
cold will develop from the 9th to the 9th
| The 10th is set down as Il dangerous pc
! rod. and from that date to the 18th general
and violent disturbances are to be cx

are predicted for the northwest. Cy-
clones and tornadocs are promised TO the
south The 18th will bring warmer
I, weather but the 18th will bring reaction
airy storms, The ugliest weather in tho
month will be from the 2lst to the 9th,
and "a sharp cold wave will follow with
more storms on the 18th aud Both. Take
it all in all. Hicks seems TO think that
March would be Il good month to skip ii

Fanlkton special. p: Myron Wiltsie,
of Hill City, chief engineer of the Duluth,
Pierre and Black Hills Railway com
pany. is in Faulkton this week, looking
over lis advantages as a location for the
division and machine shops OF that road.
Faulkton is centrally located. and it is
thought will eventually capture the
plum if suitable encouragement is given
in the way OF u bonus, grounds for ma
chine shops, etc. a meeting of citizens
will be held some time this week to see
what can be done in the matter 1t is
5 reported that the company has already
} completed arrangements with the Chica-
go, Milwaukee and st. Paul company for
! the purchase of thirty acres OF land for
depot grounds. and it is expected will
G commence ironing the road as soon as
! spring opens, thus giving us another COM
peting line to thu Twin cities and lake
G ports.
The FREE Press does not give a formal
: report of the legislature this week, as has
g been its custom during the session. partly
u for the reason that such reports are gen
i orally embarrassing and can be better
embodied in notes. There has really no,
been much 10 report, as the senate has
cleared up its calendar while the house
y has been indulging in considerable ''hoSs'
play" which has tended to not accom-.
7 pish much real legislation. About al
: that can be done is to give q faithful list
&c OF all measures passed, signed and APP
proved, which we have done. For in
stance, there are large number Of senate
bills passed which cannot by any possible
;. means be put through the house, aud will
y therefore have to die. Under the circum
stances, to report them until they do be-
f" come laws would be useless.
