4 CI0ss Call.

Last week the towns OF st. Law
renee and Miller both run out Ofcoal,
and the railroad was blockaded so
that no trains could get through.
On Saturday the only coal in either
town for sale was about % tons OF
hard coal in the bins OF Gene Byam
in Miller. The railroad company
sent word to Miller to distribute Il
couple OF car loads OF ties piled up
here to those who had to have fuel,
but we believe no calls were made
for the ties. On Monday the ther-
mOmeter was % below zero, but the
rotary forced through Us far as Mil
Ter. followed closely by two freight
trains, hauled by four engines. lis
we'll they were SO close behind the
rotary. as another blizzard started
Monday evening and ragged all night,
~blockading the trains at Miller until
Tuesday. Five cars OF coal were set
off here, which relieves the commune
to from the threatened danger Of a
famine. Through this trying winter
the G. & n. w. company has made
herculean efforts to take care of the
people depending upon it tor supplies
and it is but just to give the COM
pany credit for their success. Had
the management been at all careless
or indiffe rent the people would have
experienced considerable suffering,
but as it is the winter, it is hoped,
is practically passed with no serious
trouble.

While some folks may seriously
doubt it, yet a grand break up is
inevitable in the near future. Con-
sequentIy no one should iail to be
prepared for it. Hauling and COM
ing to town will be nearly out OF the
question. IIaye you farmers done
all the hauling you have to do?
How are your farm implements? Do
they need repair? If so, now is the
time to do it. The spring will be
late, and not a moment should be
lost in useless running back and
forth when all should be at work.
No, thank you. There is no charge
for this advice.

chapter about completed. This I'M

new experience, and the stock inter
ests, grown quite extensive during
the preceding dry seasons and open
winters, has received Il serious set
back. BESIDES the hundreds OF head
of stock lost in billiards. through
the winter, the worst is yet to come.
The PRESS is by no means pessimis-
tie, and it can see many things OF an
encouraging nature in the surround
ing conditions, but it is here to re-
cord the current history of this To-
cality.
According to the best Judges, men
who ought to know what they are
talking about, the next 80 days will
complete an unparalleled loss OF
stock-perhaps fully one-half the
stock in this county, and also that
in all acknowledgements, the prair-
les of which are now covered with
SNOW.
This long and evcntful winter, con
sisting already DILL days OF feed
ing, was something few stockmen
were prepared for. No previous eX-
p~erience during - years OF settle
ment here even suggested it, hence
few thought it necessary to secure
feed for such Il winter. And again,
the early snow in October prevented
gathering the cOrn crop, which was
LETT in the fields to be covered up
with snow. These conditions are
now beginning to tell. Notwith-
standing a very noticeable reticence
of farmers to speak OF their losses,
reports are coming in OF considerable
loss. We cannot furnish exact de-
tails, but the sum total will be ex-
tensive.
As intimated, inquiries among the
stock raisers and shippers obtains
the very generally expressed opinion
that more extensive loss will occur
during the next thirty days. Many
+ already or Will he out OF feed be-
fore the ground is bare. Theircattle
sheep and horses are weak; their
sheds, III many cases, are buried in
snow drifts, the only means OF egress
being a hole shOveled out each day
through the drift; these barns have
no ventilation, and the stock is too
warm. When the now goes the cat
tie will be turned ont upon the dead,
frozen grass to pick n living; the
ground will be soaked with water
and unfit for them to lie upon; the
damp, spring winds are worse than
the winters dry cold, particularly
upon weak, poor stock; the barns
will be filled with water from melted
SHOWS, and many OF them unfit for
stock to live in.
These are the reasons given by our
stockmen, whom the reporter has
talked with, why the loss OF stock
will be extensive. We hope it is over
drawn, but fear that it is not. At
any rate, every man who has stock
in his possession should thoroughly
study his own conditions and sur
rOundings, with a view to giving it
the best and most intelligentcare for
the next thirty days, and eve after
the new grasscomes.
The heavy SHOWS OF last fall caused
a large sale and shipment OF cattle
and sheep, which brought very good
prices. 1t is to be regretted now
that many mor were not sold and
shipped, becadse the supposition OF
numerous stockmen that March 1st
would end their feeding was Il griev-
Gus m~istakc-and always will be in
n winter of heavy SHOWS.
