WEST SNOWBOUND
AND MERCURY IS
STILL NEAR ZERO
Condition Of Winter Wheat
Made Ideal by Blanket
of Snow.

CHICAGO, March 3.-The snowstorm
that was general Saturday between the
Mississippi and Great Salt Lake and
from Canadian border to Oklahoma,
reached Chicago today. The fall in the
city was not great, but reports from
down State indicate a heavy precipita-
ton.
The snow was accompanied by very
little wind, and practically no drifting
resulted. The temperature continues
dangerously near the zero mark.
The effect of the storm throughout
the entire West will be to put the finish
ing touches on the best crop prospects
known in several years. The condition
OF winter wheat is made ideal by the
thick blanket of snow.
Railroad traffic throughout Kansas
and Missouri Is interfered with. The
Santa Fe main line Is blocked west Of
Dodge City and the Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific has issued indefinite delay
orders until the storm abates. The
Union Pacific lines are still open with
snow plows running in front of each
train. All trains have been annulled on
the Central branch of the Missouri
Pacific.

Economies on Lighting

has been effected in the half-dozen
buildings occupied by the branches of

occupied by the land office.

rooms and corridors, which IN the past
have been painted a gloomy drab, are
now finished in bright tints of light
green and buff, which give n high pc"
