This locality was treated to a howl
ing old wind Tuesday, coming for the
most part from the northeast, very
uncommon phenomenon for this To-
cality. 1t was probably the outer
edge of the big storm that had been
raging to the south and east on its
swing. When the wind got fairly in
to the northwest it began to snow
and continued until deposit Of the
beautiful six inches deep covered
everything out of doors. 1t is of the
soft quality and handy for SNOWFALL
ing.
The snow has disappeared in the
roads to such an extent that the
sleighing is done for and wagons are
being used around town. The sleigh
ing has been fairly good for most of
the winter but for some reason very
little wood, compared with former
years, has been brought to town, and
as a consequence wood has been ex-
ceptionally high all winter. Many
people have not had opportunity to
lay in wood enough for summer use.
The most of the wood brought in
this winter was sawed stove length,
but very little four-foot wood being
hauled. These conditions indicate
that wood is being exhausted for miles
back. Logs and merchan table cord
wood have been cut and marketed
and what remains is best prepared
for market in short lengths.
