Expect Big Crop This Year.

Sugar City, Colo, Jan. 3.--With the
mercury ranging from Is to 80 de-
grees below zero more than two
weeks. and with from IL to Is inches
of snow covering the ground, south
ern and eastern Colorado are expert
encing the most severe and protract-
ed period OF cold weather that has
been recorded in these sections for
many years.
Cattle, it is said, are dying from
hunger by the hundreds, due to the
deep snow covering the scanty range
grass, a great portion of which was
destroyed by prolonged drought be
fore the opening of last fall. 1t IL
said the heavy snowfall assures
bumper crops for next year, as the
snow will satprate the ground and
put the soil in excellent condition fer
grass and grain.
