day-and March came in like q
lion, and we are in hopes that it
will go out like . lamb.
j. L. McNeal:-The people Of
Oliver Go. are we'll satisfied with
Washburn as a trading point. 1

The officers Of the B.W. & G. F.
R'y. have worked hard the past
two months trying to keep the road
open. They have had all kinds Of
trouble, and it seems a. if luck was
against them. The first time the
blockade was raised, a storm fol-
lowed the rotary on its return trip,
and only the one train could beI
forced thru, and it has been the

ment . large sum to keep the road
open. .s Z.

citizens Of Washburn and Mclean
county are5to be congratulated on
having merchants Who carry such
stocks on hand. A large consign-
ment Of kerosene was received just
before the blizzard and we will have
plenty Of light anyway, even if We
do run short Of drinking-water.
