MIR. EDIToR:-We are having a
tas e Of winter just Mt present. On
Saturday morning when the peaceful
citizens OF this community awoke
and looked out oftheir windows, they
saw the "beautiful" falling in flakes
as fine as "boughten thread" which
continued till toward evening, when
the clouds broke away, the sun shone
and the winds blew. The temper
ature began falling until Sunday
morning, when the thermome ter
reached 100 below. Three and one
half inches fell. but for sleig hing pur-
poses was no good. The dry dust
raised with the sandy snow which will
make excellent mud il we get warm
sunshine. The most important topic
of conversation now, when several OF
the neighbors meet at the store, is
how are your wells holding out. The
answer will probably be that the well
at the barn is dry, but the one at the
house has water yet. 1t is becoming
a serious matter to find supply for
stock and domestic purposes. Sever
al wells in this neigh borhood are ell
tirely dry, some that have not been
so for years. A number of farmers
have been hauling water, with tanks
and filed cisterns. Should present
conditions continue there may be
serious consequence, as all the
streams are very low and continued
cold weather will soon freeze them
solid--then whatP Growing grain
suffered from the effects of the long
drought. 1t is now covered which
may help it. There may be a "break
up" during the holidays such as often
occur at that period, which will i'm
prove matters and relieve the stua-
ton.
