Mr.. Outram, the Weather Man, Says
the Chances Are that This Untimely
Fall of Beautiful Will Be Followed
by Real Autunnal weather-New
October Record.

Yesterday broke another weather bu-
reau record. The snowfall was the
heaviest recorded in the month of Oc-
tober in the fifteen years the local
weather observatory has been In exist
ence. Yesterdays. precipitation is ten
times larger than the total snowfall for
any preceding October on record.
Section Director T. s. Outram hoped
that he had at last been able to catch
and classify something wholly unique
in the line Of climate, but the inevitable
cold settler" turned up at his office
bright and early this morning to dash
his hopes. Shaking his hoary locks in
contemplation Of the degeneracy Of
modern times, tho patriarch told of the
great October snow Of 1880; told how
the suburban residents came Flooding
to their places Of business on snow
shoes; how the wolves, desperate with
dence districts; how the Hastings &
Dakota railway was showed under SO
deep that the directors decided not to
incur the expense Of digging it out, but
suspended traffic until the spring thaw
uncovered the right Of way.

the days of old and equal the climatic
marvels handed down by oral tradition,

ing was as good as any afforded in the
dead Of winter. The livery stables re.
ceived many calls for cutters but few
of them responded. The keepers did not
have enough confidence in the staying
powers Of the snow to take their sleighs
out of storage, but many private rigs
were out and gave their owners the
satisfaction of enjoying the earliest
sleighing on record. The livery keep
ers do not expect to put their sleighE
in commission before Dec. l. Last yea

greatly perturbed by the. unexpected

NEW LIQUOR POINT
"MalI Order" Shippers Must Have Nu-
nnerous Federal Licenses.


In view of the large amount of consign-
ment business done by local liquor deal
ers, a ruling Of the treasury department
just received at the local revenue office
is Of much Importance.
% Commissioner John w. Yerkes has
ruled, in response to a lettey Of inquiry
from Frederick Won Baumbach, deputy
collector at st. Paul. that wholesale liquor
dealers consigning liquor to themselves 81
out-of-town points and forwarding the
bill Of lading, together with sight draf,
upon the purchaser to local banks for
collection, must take out federal licenses
for each town in which they do such a
business.
It has been the custom Of all wholesale
dealers to protect customers in Dakota
and other prohibition states by consign-
ing all shipments to themselves. The bill
Of Iading, with sight draft on the Gus
toner, were then forwarded to some bank
at the point Of destination. In this way
the purchaser was able to receive the
liquor in the name Of the dealer and
escape the penalties Of the prohibition
law. -, y go
According to the decision just handed
down, this makes the point of destination
the place of sale, and the wholesaler will
have to secure federal license as G
Z liquor dealer at that place. .-H-
