GREAT SNOW RAGING
IN THE NORTHWEST

1907 will long be remembered
throughout the northwest as the
most terrible season the inhabitants
have experienced in all their lives.
The suffering throughout states along
the Great Northern have been in
tense and the country has been on
the edge of starvation and freezing
to death. The coal dealers of the
section have proved to be hand-to-
mouth producers, and when the rail-
roads have been covered with snow
banks as high as the barns. things
indeed look dreary.
