1873 Inch Snowfall.

The total snowfall as reported by
Mr.. consedlne. official observer at
the weather bureau, was 1873 inches.
The lowest degree reached was IL
degrees above zero.
The general opinion is that the
storm, save for the dIscomforts in
separable from the sudden cold. will
cause no serious damage. The
storm will delay building and will
cause some losses to builders. II
was never severe enough to damage
cattle unless II was long continued,
and It's undoubted benefit to tho
wheat crop has given cause for re-
joicing to both the men who farm
land ana the men who sell land.
