THE STORM.

The Northwest was treated to a
heavy snow storm today, as unseason
able as it was undesirable. After the
rain had poured down without inter
ruption for twenty-four hours, it
changed into snow during the night,
and by this morning there was fully
six inches on the level. The snow
continued to fall for a considerable
portion of the day, and there is now
nearly a foot of snow on the level
There was a steady north wind, but
the snow was so damp and heavy that
it did not drift very much. 1t is I'M
common that such heavy fall of snow
should occur this late in the season.
Frequently an inch or so falls even
several weeks later than this, but it
never has remained longer than few
hours.
The storm has been general over
the Northwest. When the snow goes
off high water may be expected in the
rivers. The ground is saturated, and
if the snow goes off suddenly the vol
ume of water will be precipitated i'll
| to the creeks and rivers.

THE FENCE FACTORY.

H. w. Mowry and HI .Gebhardt, of
Minneapolis, representing the Great
Northern Fence Co. of that city, are
in the city making arrangements for
starting the factory referred to in
these columns last week If arrange
ments satisfactory to the company
can be made, the factory will be built
and in operation within thirty days.
1t will be lsx4O feet, one story high,
on the start, and will employ five or
six men to begin with. There will be
from s., 500 to $1,000 invested in the
enterprise, of which it is desired that
$1,000 be taken in stock in this city.
The shares are S25 each, land the stock
holders will have the advantage of Sc
curing fencing for their own use at
wholesale prices. The stock must be
paid in when the factory starts up,and
will be payable at the Mankato Ma
tlonal bank.
The fence making machine costs
$3.50. The patent was secured two
years ago, but the Great Northern
Fence Co. was not organized until
last summer. The machine will turn
out several hundred rods of fence
day. This sells at from 55 cents to IS
cents rod. the former figure few
cents above what barbed wire fenc es
cost. The price from this factory
will be So cents rod.
There are to be only five or six fac
tories in the state. One is now in
operation at Pelican Rlpids and is
said to be doing a good business. One
will be started at Austin Monday,an
the one in this city will be the third.
j. @. Roller will manage the factory.
The fences are wire slat fences, and
galvanized anneal steel wire, land pick
cts, are used. These are bought in
large quantities and shipped to the diff
ferent factories. Several kinds of
fencing is made, including pasture
fence, hog fence, farm fence and poul-
try and garden fence. The fence is
very popular where used, and has
great advantage over ordinary wire
fences, 1t is believed that there will
be good demand for the fence, es-
pecially by the farmers.
The two gentlemen representing
the company will remain in the city
during the week.
