JANUARY GOOD MONTH.
81 Days Just Past of Mutual
Benefit to Town and County.

The weather report for the month
Of January shows II to have been
. month Of many snow storms.
The maximum temperature for the
month was 43, while the minimum
was Eve. The report shows q to-
tal precipitation Of $50 inches.
The greatest precipitation during
"a hours occurred on the 3rd day
Of the month when .95 inches was
recorded. Much snow fell during
the month, . total of "a inches
being the amount stated in the
report. There were no clear days
in the month; 8 partly cloudy days
and 20 cloudy days. The above
figures are from Voluntary Ober YER
Norwood's monthly report.
For the farmer, the month has
been of moro benefit than most
winter months. Winter wheat
has been we'll protected and the
farmers who had feed to sell have
disposed Of it at q very good price.
To the stockraiser, unless the live
stock was we'll fed, the month has
not been especially beneficial.
With the great amount Of snow
in the mountains and on the diff
ierent ranges the cattle have ex-
perienced hard winter, both from
severe exposure and lack Of range
food.
In the opinion OF many Of the
old pioneers of the county, the
present winter has been unlike any
other for many years. Not for
some time, they say, has 90 much
SNOW fallen in one season. Sleigh
ing has been good for over . month.
1t has rendered things easy for the
stage companies and the freight
ers who have 90 much travelling to
do. Great quantities Of wood have
been brought down from the hills
south Of town and everyone who
had heavy hauling to do has found
the roads in excellent condition.
With the exception Of the stock
raisers, almost every one has cause
to be pleased with January's
weather.

day was devoted to hearing and referring

primarily to exclude the clericals from po-
litical power depends for success upon
the harmonious action of the two conser-
vative parties. the national-liberals and
the three radical groups.
The utmost the government can expect
is that the group will act together in sup
port of distinctly national measures, like
military and naval matters. The budget
ITSELF however. will expose the group to
a serious strain. particularly in its mill
tary features. owing to the heavy in
creases fo- the army and navy. The total
increase in the expenditures is s3S. .25O. 900.
The clericals and socialists will en-
deavor to split the conservative-liberal
group by offering at every possible oppor-
tunity amendments designed to create a
