Cold in Ell Paso Breaks Records.

THE fine weather continues in
spite of the Attempts of the wnathe

who in all weather experience in
New Mexico ever heard of two such
snow storms in the last twenty days
in October as Las Vegas has been

81 have an idea that these two
storms coming when the grass was
hardly cured, in fact the first one
caught it green as in June in many
places, will be very disastrous to the
quality Of the grass for winter feed
ing. After grass has cured snow and
wet is not particularly hurtful. but
coming when it's not cured and SIT
green it ruins its good qualities COM
pletely If this be true, 1t bids fair
to be a hard winter on range stock.
