The Big Snow ! Benefit.

Fair weather has again visited
this section Of the state, reveal
ing the fact that the big snow
which we had the first Of last
week was about the biggest in
years, considering the volume OF
snow which fell. The snow lies
very deep on the prairies, fully
two feet on the level and the cou-
lees are nearly full. For several
days farmers Travelled with great
difficulty, and in consequence
business was a little slack in
Minot and other cities OF the
state. The roads have again
been opened. No one froze to
death and from what we can
learn no one suffered. All had
plenty Of food to last them for
several days.
The snow is not without It's
benefit. The small fruits, and
trees are we'll protected for the
winter, and III the spring the
ground will be in the best posi-
BILE condition. This almost
assures another bumper crop
next year, and farmers are jubi-
liant. that the storm made it's
appearance. Sle,ghing is the
best in years. The railroads are
again open. The Great North
ern cleared it's tracks within ~
hours after the storm subsidized,
but the 500, not expecting the
storm at. this time was caught
without a snow pillow this side OF
the Twin Cities. The first

Engaged people should remember,
that, after marriage, many quarrels
can be avoided, by keeping their d.
gestions in good condition with Elec-
trio Bitters. S. A. Brown, of Ben
nettsville, S. c., says: "For years,
my wife suffered intensely from dys-
pepsia, complicated with a torpid
liver, until she lost her strength and
vigor, and became a mere wreck of
her former self Then she tried
Electric Bitters, which helped her at
once, and finally made her entirely
well. She is now strong and healthy"

AN IMMENSE
INLAND SEA

In the center of the Colorado des-
ert. in Southern California, an unusual
spectacle may now be seen. For sew
eral months past the Colorado river
has been running through a crevasse
in its banks few miles below Fort
Yuma, the breach being caused by
the digging of an irrigation canal from
the adjacent country through the riv-
err bank, without providing it with
the necessary head oates. This was
done last spring during comparativ-
civ low stage of the river, and at that
time considerable volume of water
flowed from the river into the artific-
ial irrigation ditch, known as the I'M
perial canal. With the coming of the
summer floods due to the melting
srows in the Rocky mountains, the
preached widened and grew deeper
until, it is stated, large part of the
Colora 10 river is pouring through the
gap, and thus far all engineering eff
forts to check it and close the cut
have proved unavailing. The water
has flowed into an old channel known
as New river, and has already covered
the salt marshes and works at Salton,
and las now commenced to submerge
the track of the Southern Pacific rail
road.
There are in this region nearly 1000
square miles of country below the
level of the break in the bank of the
river, and much of this is below the
level of the sea. There seems a rea-
sonable probability of this old lake,
possibly at one time an arm of the
Gulf of California, becoming a sheet
of fresh water of considerable extent.
1t already covers many square miles
of territory, and it is interesting TO
contemplate what may be the
final outcome of this accidental forma-
ton of new interior sea. IL may
have noticeable effect upon the elm
attic conditions in that section, but it
is scarcely likely that it's influence will
be felt beyond the mountains of the
north and west of the basin. Mining

TRAMP MAKES
RICH find

Ike IRWIN, a Duckwater rancher.
died in 1893. Before his death he told
his family that he han $1,000 hidden
away. a search was made for the
money after his death and $500 was
recovered. No more money was found
by the family, but few weeks ago a
tramp, who gave his name as S. st.
Clair, applied at the ranch for work.
He was given employment and put to
work tearing down an old rock CHM
ney. When he finished the work, he
spent money freely and in two days
got away with over $500, besides Civ
ing Miss Irwin $500 to keep for him.
When st. Clair called for the money.
she refused to give it to him as she
suspected it was part of the money her
father had buried. st. Clair went to
Tonopah and returned with a doeument
setting forth the law of the case and
MissIrwin gave him the money. All
the money squandered by st. Clair was
coin dated before Mr.. TWINS death.
1t is believed that st. Clair found the
money in the old chimney and that
Irwin had hidden it there.
