BLIZZARD EOHoRs.

The blizzard was quite severe here
on Monday night and on Tuesday morn
ing everything was blockaded. The
workers, Especially the females, could
not get to the factories, the cars could
not run and the streets were impossible.
The street commissioner got out L. S.
Coan with two four-l1orse teams and the
road machines and made paths along the
streets. They also ran them on the car
tracks so that the South End section got
to running towards night with two cars
hitched together. The next day, We'd
neaday. the North End section was OPEN
ed. There were no mails on Tuesday
and not any regular on Wednesday. The
snow was from IS inches to two feet in
depth and drifts were from five to 10
and Is feet in depth. The town authori
ties had men and teams at work digging
out the roads leading into the village,
but it took several days to get the main
roads through the town passable. In
many instances travellers went through
the lots.

A LOCAL SECTION OF THE FIVE STATES
MILK PRODUCERS ASSOCIATION ORGAN
lied,
The town clerks office in the Brick
building, Monday night, was crowded
by representative farmers, who came to
consider the situation of the milk busi-
ness. A local section of the Five States
Milk Producers Association was organi-
zed. Fl. FL. Peck was chosen chairman
and the following officers we're elected !:
President, E. S. Lowell; vice president,
Eli B. Beers secretary, Daniel G. Beers :;
treasurer, Patrick Fl. Mccarthy.
E. G. Seeley, the director of the Five
States Milk Producers Association, was
the farmers present. Mr. Seeley is
good talker and for an hour or more was
kept busy answering questions pat to
him. He said that the evidence of the
necessity of Systematic organization
among farmers has never been demon
strated better than by the development
of the present milk organization of the
Five States Milk Association. Scatter

his own hook" they were powerless to
accomp sh anything towards benefiting
their condition. AS last resort, a few
determined to organic themselves snd
scarf out to find market for their milk,
which would secure fair remuneration
for making. The drst obstacle in the
way, that met them, was that the milk
was not in their hands to sell. They at
once set about, as an experiment, try
ing to get as much as possible under
their contract. AS soon d s the spit aligtt
found this out, they came forward at
once and offered to purchase and deter
nine the price necessary for fair
remuneration. They made cash offer
for daily output of not less than 10 900
cans delivered at the various shipping
stations, in the cans of the company. A
committee at once set about getting the
required number of cans pledged. They
nave succeeded and, in all probability,
the deal will be copsummated in few
days and they will take control OF this
milk April l. A large number join
ed the local section. The farmers inter
ested have high hopes of the scheme go
ing through successfully. Great enthu-
siasm is manifested throughout the Hous
atomic valley, and local sections have
been organized at every milk station.
Mr. Seeley went to New York on Wed.
nesday to be present at meeting of the
directors of the Five States Milk Produ-
GERS Association. 1t is expected the
deal will be contaminated with the CAPT
Calists interested in few days. Follow

of the 18Th, the stage made its usual time
taking down mail and passengers, but by
Tuesday, though the sun shone out, the
roads were so blocked the stage and milk
wagons were shut out of Bridgeport,
but large force of men with oxen and
horses with sleds broke through the
huge drifts, making way over the main
roads so travel again began. The
amount of delay and damage by so heavy
