Nearly $50 skaters were on the ice
Monday evening at the grand opening
OF the Palace Toe Riuk The ice was in
good shape and the Langdon band was
at it's best-everything conspiring to
make most pleasing opening. Messrs
G. II M;Dermott aud Frank Hart have
left nothing undone which might aid in
giving the people of L,nydon and vicin-
ity popular place Of entertainment and
amusement during the balance Of the
winter.
The amount of snow fall for the month
of November is much less than the nor
NAL, there having been only quarter OF
an inch during the entire month. Last
year there was foot or more OF snow on
the ground all through the month OF
November, and the ground was not bare
from the latter part of October until the
snow passed off in the spring. This year,
it has been predicted there will be
proportionately light fall of snow, and
the prediction, it appears now, will be
realized.

F. B. Tracy, one of the executors OF
the Republican, who left here last spring
to Join tue staff OF the Boston Transcript
had lengthy article Of several columns
in the Minneapolis Tribune Of "a few days
ago depicting the memorable blizzard
that swept over the North west on
Thanksgiving Of a yeer ago. His des'
oription is a mixture OF fact and fancy
probably to be accounted for by its being
his first and only experience of q storm
Of tho kind. Weather of that kind 10
something out OF the ordinary IN North
Dakota and if Tracy we're with US this
winter he would be enabled to sample
what Dakotaus generally look for ana
usually experience IN the way OF mid
winter weather, with scarcely pare
inch of snow on the ground The
winter Of '9G was an exception to the
rule.
