sLEDs AT A PREMIUM.
Can Not BE Procured in Fort Dodge
and Vicinity,

Fort Dodge. Dec. 31.-Bob sleds and
sleighs of all descriptions are at a
premium. Never before in the history
of the northwest has there been such
q demand for sleds OF all varieties as
there is at present. Any man who has
been lucky enough to save a sled for
years or get one that came to the
market early is considered fortunate.
There is but one sleigh for sale in
the city and the sleds and runners
can not be had at any price. Dealers
in this section are unable to secure
them from the factories and the fac
tories find themselves caught in an
unexpected situation. Not expecting
such Il general and lasting fall of
snow the dealers and the factories
have allowed their stocks to run down
and now they are unable to meet the
demand.
