worst snowstorm in this vicinity since
1892. There was more than foot of
snow on the level and the melted
snow measured one and eight-tenths
inches. The temperature generally
fell to 20 degrees. Locally but little
damage was done. Sheep men in Wy
oming, Colorado and New Mexico, it
is believed, will suffer heavy losses,
as they were unprepared for such Sc
we're weather.
There are hundreds of tons of sugar
beets and thousands of barrels of ap-
pies still in the open in the northern
part Of Colorado and should the cold
continue the damage will be great to
the ranches. Telegraphic service
throughout the west is badly ham
pered and trains indefinitely late.

ROOSEVELT SETS
Thanksgiving DAY.
PROCLAMATION ISSUED AT WASH
iNGToN NAMING THURSDAY,
NOVEMBER 20.
SAYS PRAISE is DUE
FOR OUR PROSPERITY
President Declares That Material
Well Being Is Only the Founda-
ton of True National Greatness
and Happiness.

Washington, Oct. 24-The presi-
dent Tuesday issued proclamation
naming Thursday, November 20, as a
day of thanksgiving. The text of the
proclamation is as follows:
"a PROCLAMATION.
"The time of year has come when,
in accordance with the wise custom
of our forefathers, it becomes my
duty to set aside special day of
thanksgiving and praise to the Al
mighty because of the blessings we
have received, and of prayer that
these blessings may be continued.
Yet another, year of widespread we'll
being has passed. Never before in
our history or in the history of any
other nation has people enjoyed
more Astounding material prosperity
than is ours; a prosperity so great
that it should arouse in us no spirit
of reckless pride, and least Of all
spirit of needless disregard of our
responsibilities; but rather sober
resolute purpose, under providence,
not to forfeit them by any action of
our own.
material well being, indispensable
though it is, can never be anything
but the foundation of true national
greatness and happiness. If we build
nothing upon this found alton, then
our national life will be as meaning
less and empty as house where only
the foundation has been laid.
Our material well being must be
lived in accordance with the laws Of
the highest morality, or else our
prosperity itself will in the long run
turn out curse instead of bless
ing. We should be both reverently
thankful for what we have received,
and earnestly bent upon turning 1t
into a means Of grace and not of de-
struction.
Accordingly hereby set apart
Thursday, the twenty-ninth day of No
vember next, as day Of thanksgiving
and duplication, on which the people
shall meet in their homes or their
churches, devoutly acknowledge all
that has been given them, and pray
that they may in addition receive the
power to use these gifts Alright.
Sin witness whereof l have here.

Of one mill, were RENTED Monday by
the state board Of assessors. There
already is SO much money in the state
treasury that none of the officials
knew what to do with it. With the
prospect of more than $2,500,0OO com.
ing in from this years taxes, State
Treasurer Kempf threw up his hands
in despair and said there was no way
to spend 1t. Accordingly, Gov. David.

RuMoRED HE WOULD ACCEPT
NOMINATION AGAINST HEARST.
Should the Latter Win in New York
Contest. President May Again BE
Candidate.

Washington, Oct. 19.-"Theodore
Roosevelt will again be candidate for
the presidency, if Hearst is elected
Governor of New York." declared a
Republican leader close to the ma
tons chief executive. tn Chicago
Journal correspondent. He said that
if the Democrats win in New York
the next Democratic candidate for
the presidency may be William r.
Hearst. and that the Hearst peril
is the only thing that can induce
Roosevelt to change his decision not
to run again.
1T is conceded that the man who
is elected governor of New York will
be the candidate of his party for pres
ident," added this leader. 'If 1t Is
Hughes, we'll and good. but If it is
Hearst, then look out for an early
statement that the president has
yielded to the popular demand, and
has finally decided to cast aside a
personal preference for private life
and accept another term as presi-
dent for the good of the party and the
country"
To more than one Of his friends the
president has stated that he would
regard the election of Hearst as
governor of New York public calam.
ity second only to his possible election
as the president of the United States.
1t is no secret that Theodore Roose-
welt has been itching to roll up his
sleeves and bump into the New York
campaign. We're it not for the SOL
emn traditions that hedge themselves
about the presidential office he would
like nothing better than take the
stump in person against the New York
editor.
Should the presidents political
lieutenants in that state bring the
word to him at the last moment that
Hughes is really in serious danger
OF defeat, it is altogether possible
that he would ignore precedents and
traditions and take the first train TO,
New York.
