We're forced to admit that they had

in come parts of the county 80 below

BY Monday the temperature had
raised to 40 below zero, but Old
Boreas seemed to have lost control
of his brakes and the high wind
made it the most severe day and the
coolest brand of zero weather this
place ever saw; and it seemed inn
possible to keep the cold weather out
of doors. Some of the wiser ones
used the kitchen range to sleep on
and every one was hunting for a
fever to match their chills. Many
took frost bites Sunday, having
developed the Eskimo appetite for
candle grease. The mail to Forks
