Snow in the Mountains.

Stormy weather prevailed during
the last half of January, the snowfall
however was generally small and the
normal was not attained: thus adding
to the deficiency already noted for the
preceding three months. As the mois-
ture that fell during December was
subject to thawing and freezing dur
ing the sunny weather of the first half
of January, it is practically solid ice.
The recent snowfalls are still unpack-
ed and in many sections high winds
have swept the snow from above tim
Der line and other exposed localities
into ravines, gulches and drifts, so that
on the whole conditions are favorable
for its conservation. The early flow
will doubtless be made good by the
late SHOWS, even though the ground is
very dry and therefore capable of alb
sorOng water.

that the roaming out process on

shot split one length OF casing
from end to end, but failed TO
accomplish the object desired. A
new well will be sunk on the west

$50 feet OF eight inch casing will
probably never be recovered from

daughter of the President Of the United
States. should be received with the
most distinguished honor. 1t Is held
by these experts that Miss Roosevelt
would be out of place merely as a
young lady in the suite Of the special
ambassador. The hard-and-fast rules
of a monarchy. it is declared, make it
necessary that she should be recognized
completely or not at all.
In such event Miss Roosevelt would
rank with the princesses of the blood,
next to those in immediate succession
to a throne She would therefore wear
a robe of crimson or, as 1t is called
royal purple. She would be distin-
guished from the peeresses by addi-
tional bands Of ermine and miniver.
The princesses will wear golden coro-
nets Miss Roosevelt would be con-
spicuous in this group because she
would not wear a coronet.
If court etiquette should be strictly
observed Miss Roosevelt would lodge
at one of the royal palaces. Diplomats
here say it would be impossible for
her to travel incognito because her
presence in London would be recog-
nized by the royal family and every
mark of attention and honor would be
extended to her.
The visit of Prince Henry to th'
United States is not a parallel case
While a blood relative of the Kaiser
he is not directly descended from tn,
reigning sovereign. Therefore, the ex
perts say, the honor paid Miss Roose
welt would equal that to be given tbs
eldest daughter of Emperor William
or of the Gar himself.
Miss Roosevelt has asked this favo
of her father as a birthday gift. He
