SNOW STORM GENERAL
THE HEAVY FALL OF SNOW is
GENERAL ALL OVER THE
STATE.

The regular mid-winter blizzard
which hit Devils Lake Wednesday
night seems to be general throughout
the state and so far as can be learned
is in progress all over the northwest.
Though the temperature did not drop
as much as would be expected, the
strong wind made it uncomfortable
for pedestrians and the streets were
practically deserted yesterday. Many
of the trains were late and the Farmers
line did not attempt their regular trip.
The snow fall was heavy and though it
will delay seeding it will leave the
ground in splendid eonHit1on.

the result that he then cancelled his
request
The city council and the citizens
generally will not stand for the Sweet
water plan as permanens remedy.
The water is not fit for general pur-
poses, could not under any circum-
stances be used for drinking purposes
and it is not suitable for washing or
bathing, Any, of the fremen who re-
member the appearance of the water
when they used it for short time
would prove an excellent witness as to
its unftness for general service. The
sudden turn taken by the officers Of
the Improvement Company Will not
justify even the most conservative
members Of the council in voting for
the submission Of municipal ownership
to the people.

to convict men Of sin. he said. this duty
is not toward sin in the abstract only
but in the concrete. 1.-THE sin of child
