the little hotel one ootd winter evening,

/ One of them, q commercial traveller of a
sort seldom met nowadays, pushed through
tho door first, marched up to the desk and
remarked:
II want the best room In tho house-the

Uncle Billy from behind tho register said

A SEVERE STORM;
Traffic on the N. P. is Block
AIDED Considerably as
Result.

The weather bureau in TucsdAy's
forecast sent out in it's morning dis
patches gave but u slight intimatton
OF the severe storm that started In
at about 10 O'Clock that fore
noon. 1t wns one OF the most severe
storms that has struck this locality
in years, and during Tuesday alter
noon and night snow fell to the
depth of fourteen or fifteen inches
and was accompanied by a strong
north wind. Fortunately, however,
the thermometer did not go down
very low or the result might have
been much more serious In this To-
cality, for there was a large number
OF people in the city from the country
and in going home the snow was 81
deep that it was with difficulty that
they reached their homes.
The storm has been severely felt
by the Northern Pacific, and nearly
all trains running through here were
either late or abandoned. Passenger
train No. l, due here at S:07 Tuesday
evening, was stalled at Sank Rapids.
and did not reach here until noon
Wednesday. No. Z, west bound
passenger due here at 1907 Tuesday
night. passed No. at Sank Rapids,
and with three engines pulling 1t.
was caught In the snow near Rice's,
and was over twelve hours late when
it reached here. This locality seems
to have been about the storm centre,
as train No. 8, from the west went
through on time at O'Clock Wednes-
day morning, but was compelled, we
understand. to stop at Royalton ON
account of the deep snow.
Business In this city was badly
demoralized Wednesday, as the
snow was drifted into all the
streets to the depth Of four
or five feet, and owing to the
wind being high, and the occasional
squalls this forenoon, during which
considerable more has fallen and
drifted, but little Roadway was
made toward opening them up for
traffic. 1t was no not an uncommon
sight to- see loaded teams stalled
and tv:n teams with light
rigs found it difficult to make
a trip on Broadway. The pedes-
TRANS had about the same difficulty
to contend with in the morning, but
in the business center the sidewalks
were pretty well cleared by night.
To a. majority Of the people of this
community. while 1T involves con-
siderable Inconvenience, this storm
is not unwe)come, for the snow that
has fallen will furnish moisture that
is much needed by the farming and
log driving interests.
