Heavy Storms
Sweep The East
Traffic Suspended in Many States
and People Starving and Freez-
ing to Death--Great Cattle Loss
in Montana.

One of the worst storms in
years has ragged this week over
the middle and eastern states
and the repors of many fatalities
are current. Traffic is demoral-
lied in many sections, especially
through Minnesota, the Dakotas
and Montana. In the Dakotas
many sections have not had
trains for weeks on account of
snow blockades and suffering
from cold and hunger is intense.
At Goodrich, N. D., woman
and five children are reported to
have frozen to death, while in
Montana several men are report
ed to have frozen to death on
their claims. In the latter state
cattle and sheep are dying by
the thousands from the cold and
starvation while lack of cars
prevent food being brought in OF
stock shipped out. The loss tc
stockmen will be extremely
heavy and will average fully 75
per cent, while many owners
will lose their entire droves. Il
is expected that many tales o1
human suffering and death will
be told when the various branch
lines are once more able to re
sumo traffic.

The Hardest Winter For Years.

The heaviest snow storm of
the winter visited Camas Prairie
Sunday and Monday, over a foot
of new snow falling on the pack
ed snow already on the ground.
The snow turned to rain Tues
day, accompanied by a chinook"
wind, which rapidly softened
the snow and started the creeks
to running full. Warm weather
has continued the balance of the
week with just enough freezing
at night to keep the snow from
melting rapidly during the day.
There is still over a foot of snow
on the ground and it may lay on
for some time. Had the
chinook" of Tuesday continued
the snow would soon have dis
appeared and towns along the
river would have suffered from
hight water.
While the weather is very
pleasant it is hard on stockmen
as the snow on the ground pre-
vents grazing and all stock has
to be fed. Plenty of feed is still
to be had on the prairie but on
Salmon river and between that
stream and the Snake feed is
getting very scarce and unless
the snow leaves soon so the
stock can get at the grass be-
meath the loss will be heavy.
The present winter has been
the most severe one for nearly
twenty years because of the
heavy snow fall and while at nc
time has the weather been very
cold the feeding of stock
has been necessary all the time
There has been more sleighing
this winter than during the pas
five winters combined and it il
by no means ended here yet
Up on the mountain the snow
averages about three feet on the

Last Saturday afternoon as the

A Fancy Price For City Property.

That Cottonwood residence
property is a valuable asset was
Thoroughly demonstrated here
again Wednesday when Samuel
Goldstone sold two lots in the new
Proctor addition to Henry Mes
sen for 5000 each. The lots are
on Second street between the
Geo. Simon and Will Simon resi-
dences and are very choicely
located. Mr.. Niessen intends
erecting a fine residence on them
at once and will either rent it OF
hold the property for sale.
Cottonwood property has been
advancing steadily in value fol
several years past and during
the past year has increased ma.
terially, yet, while the price just
paid by Mr.. Niessen for his
property looks pretty good tC
most of us a few years from now
it will look very cheap.

sea OF mud, but was rescued by three
courageous women who had made their
way over the avalanche at the risk CT
their lives and succeeded in bringing
him to point OF safety.
A train on the Nesuvian railroad was
