Rain in December is something of
an unusua thing in this country. All
day Wednesday the indications point
ed to the possibility OF rain, and it
started in about 5 O'Clock, keeping
up a slow steady falling until after
the hour of midnight when it turned
into snow and sleet. Then the atmos-
phere turned to freezing. The pre-
cipitation amounted to SIS inches.
Only one or two other occasions in
the past twelve years does the local
weather record disclose rain falling
to any such extent. We have had
rains in the early part of November,
but scarcely ever in December.
Contractor Dunnegan has got all
of his machinery on the ground for
commencing work on the new sani-
tary sewer, the contract for which
was let ten days ago. He will start
the sewer work on First Avenue west
and digging west to Rowley street
and thence north to Fourth. While
some of the sewer pipe is on hand it
is not the size that the contractor
desires to use first, and with the
5 Nitchman's strike on it may result !!
i'll a delay in getting the necessary
material here to start the work on
that sewer. The present weather is
not conducive to work of this char
acter.
The Ernest Fisher players, present
ing the Prisoner of Zenda," at the
Gale last evening, were greeted with
a very poor house. From the point
of artistic acting the company was
the equal of many of the higher pric-
ed plays was deserving of a much
better audience. Ernest Fisher as
Rudolph Rassendyl displayed con-
siderable ability and was ably sup
ported by his company. Especial at
tention was given to the scenery and
the costuming of the drama which
added much to it's effectiveness.
1t is hoped that the next time Mr..
Fisher comes to Mitchell his merit
orous performance will be witnessed
by a good house.
