INFANT BLIZZARD
, Is Left by Storm StOrk on BrOOkingS
Doorstep,

Is LtIL by OlOI Ill Sbot n
Doorstep,
Last Friday and Saturday this sec
ton was visited by the worst storm OF
recent years. 1t came up suddenly
from the northwest about O'Clock in
the afternoon, and continued for nearly
twenty-four hours. Up to that time
the day had been one OF the finest OF
ofthe winter, the thermometer register
ing about fifty above zero, with a warm
wind from the south. The wind veered
suddenly to the northwest, the air filled
with snow and the thermometer fell
rapidly to zero, reaching twenty below
zero Saturday morning. The storm
cleared off Saturday afternoon, but the
weather continued to grow colder.
Sunday morning was the coldest OF
the winter, the government thermom-
eter at the college resistering % below.
The storm was very general one,
and it seems that this section was on
the southern edge of it. 1t was very
severethrough Montana, North Dakota,
and the western and northern parts OF
this state, and was very severely felt
in North Dakota, where the people
have been without sufficient amount
of fuel al! winter. The loss in the
cattle ranges of the Dakotas and
Montana may be heavy, and the rail-
roads suffered too, all traffic being
tied up from Friday afternoon until
Monday.

Tuesday morning the government
thermometer at the college registered
33 degrees below zero, the coldest
morning by far, this winter. Not since
the cold snap OF seven or eight wears
ago has the mercury been 80 low, and
it will probably stand as the cold
weather record Of the winter. Yester-
day more snow fell, and there is every
prospect that our snug winter weather
will continue for some time.
