st. Paul, Dec. Is. - Winter has de-
scended upon the Northwest in cold,
clustering earnest.
A terrific snowstorm has ragged
through the Western district. Much
snow has fallen throughout the region
and bitter cold prevails in all the West
ern, Northwestern and Southwestern
states. While the coming of snow is
an Lndisguised blessing in the grain
states, where the winter wheat has
been in need of winters protecting
white cloak, the more westerly cattle
ranges suffer considerably because Of
the storm. In Minnesota the storm
has not been of the fierce character re-
ported In other localities, but the snow
fall has been heavy and steadv. The
sudden drop of the mercury was
Quite Unprecedented.
At Huron, S. D., from 8 o'clock Thurs
day night to Z Friday morning the tenn
Lerature changed so degrees, register
inI Is degrees below zero at the gov
eminent weather bureau and degrees
colder in various parts Of the city. A
shary wind from the northwest pre-
vailed all day, thermometers register
ins from 10 to IL degrees below zero.
At Lisbon, n. D., the government
thermometer registered 80 degrees be-
low, the record of twenty years and
more. In Wyoming the storm was at
its fercest Everything is delayed from
three to four hours, and blockade is
imminent. Great distress is reported
by sheepncen Of the Red Desert section
and Southern Uintah country. A
freight train struck flock of sheep In
a sharp cut and killed nearly 500.
BENEFIT the Farmer.
Reports from Western Nebraska and
the Black Hills tell Of a severe snow
storm, from four to six inches having
fallen since early Thursday night. In
Chase county six inches of snow covers
the ground and the wind has been high,
making the storm one of almost bliz-
card proportions. In Western Missouri,
most Of Kansas and Oklahoma, 1t Is
raining and showing or hailing. The
thermometer has fallen and In many
places the rain has turned to sleet,
causing damage to telephone and tele-
graph wires. The storm will prove OF
great value to farmers. Many small
streams had gone dry. leaving no water
for stock. and wheat neef ed moisture.
At Moberly, Mo-, and Independence,
Kan, blizzard prevails.
Coolest Ever in Colorado.
In Colorado the coolest weather Of
the winter to date was experienced.
In the mountain regions the thermome-
tiers generally registered below zero.

Gunnison. The record in Denver was q

storm in ten years has visited Okla
homa and four inches Of snow are on
the ground, a strong wind accompany
ing it. The storm will cause great
damage to cattle interests. Reports
Of intense suffering among stock are

So far as minnesotans are concerned
the snow is on the whole benefit.
Business interests are pleased with
the coming Of rigorous weather.
