After the splendid weather of
the fall and early winter the
weather man concluded he would
give us something to let us know
that winter was really here Ac-
cordingly after light fall of
snow last Monday a terrific gale
from the northwest came down
and kept the air full of the
beautiful. The evening train
from the east was over two
hours behind time in getting
through. and both east and west
night trains were somewhat
delayed, but little inconvenience
was experienced in this respect.
The storm was one of the most
general in years extending from
the Rocky Mountains to the At
lantic, and from Canada to the
gulf.
In another column we print a
table showing the vote at the re-
publican primaries and the vote
for the republican candidate for
governor The table was pre-
pared by Mr.. Aldrich. of the
Big Stone Headlight from the
official records, and it clearly in
dicates that there were a large
numb Der of democrats in the
county who were willing TO turn
in and help the republicans nom
mate a ticket but were unwilling
to vote for republican govern
or. In fact one fragrant case of
this kind which was exposed at
the time, was where one of these
democrats participated in a re-
publican caucus within four days
of his nomination by the demo
cratic county convention. The
legislature will probably be
called upon to enact Legislation
to protect the ballot box from
frauds of this character when
the question of elections and
primaries are considered.
G. S. Amsden, senator elect,
made a trip to Fargo last week
TO confer with DR.. S. A. Ramsey,
the y. S. superintendent of the
bureau of animal industry for
the states of Montana and North
and South Dakota. The fact
that the range cattle is more or
less affected with scabies and
the federal laws prohibit ship
ments out of the state without
inspection, has prompted de-
sire for state Legislation securing
inspection and Mr.. Amsden' s
visit was for the purpose of get
ting posted on the federal law
and ascertaining the best means
of protecting the cattle raisers
and shippers of this locality,
where the disease is not known.
He also urged upon the inspec.
tor the reappointment of DR..
Thos. Hicks as deputy inspector
for this locality, as convenience
to the shippers here. Mr.. Ans
dent secured the necessary in.
formation to act intelligently on
the question when it comes be.
fore the legislature.
