Denver has awakened to the i'm
portance Of the annual National West.
ern Stock Show, and the people Of
that city are making preparations on
a large scale for the entertainment Of
the thousands who will attend. The
merchants and business men have
discovered that the annual stock show
Is the biggest thing In the west. 1t
Is proposed to decorate and illuminate
the city for stock show week, and
plans are being matured for all kinds
OF entertainment stunts to supple.
ment the big show at the stock yards.
The railroads are making the lowest
possible special rates, and 1t Is fully
expected that the attendance will ex.
coed that of the Knights Templar
conclave In August. The show Itself
is to be the largest ever held. The
finest herds of cattle in the country,
the best hogs to be found and the best
bred sheep will be there, and the
horse fair and horse show will bring
out the best stables in the United
States. There will be hundreds OF
features and small army Of men are
already at work making preparations.

a town or country gradually forging to

surrounding country is doing at the
present time, you may know there is
something substantial back of II. Re.

the new Methodist parsonage is fast

The Snow Storm

Miss Mae Weldon returned Tuesday
night from Fort Collins, where she
spent the Thanksgiving holidays with
her brother, Bryce, who is attending
the Agricultural college, and tells of
her trip through the snow.
"While there was a guest In the
home OF Judge Mills and family, who
asked Go be remem bered TO their Ord
way friends.
my visit was prolonged several
days on account OF the snow storm,
which began early Monday morning,
December l. and continued through
out the day. Tuesday was fair, with
about eighteen inches of snow on the
level. A little more fell early We'd
nesday aud IL was cloudy and damp
all day long. 1t began showing again
Thursday morning and continued al
.'The public schools were closed all
day Friday, no delivery wagons-not
even dairy wagODs-were out Friday
or Saturday. No city papers were de-
livered and the postman only made
one round. Saturday the college
closed and most OF the students SHOW
eled snow that day. The street cars
ceased operating early 10 the week
aud when left the city many OF them
were still standing where they had
been stalled in the streets.
"The snow was from thirty-one to
thirty-six inches On the level, and
piles In the streets, where snow had
been thrown from the roofs Of build
ings, to relieve them Of the weight,
were from ten to twenty feet high.
Most OF the trees suffered broken
limbs and several small buildings we're
crushed 10 by the weight OF the snow.
The weather was mild and the snow
wet and heavy until Sunday afternoon
when the temperature dropped.
Friday and Saturday there were
no trains through Fort Collins on
either road with the exception OF IA
rotary snow plow that passed through
Saturday night on its way to Denver.
Its progress was very slow and diffi-
cult. BY Monday most Of the walks
and main streets were opened up, but
the work was mostly done by hand. as
teams we're unable to get along.
"Iu Denver the conditions were
much the same as far as l could see
and hear, but coming south from Den
yer the snow gradually became light
er. However, the trains were all run
ming from one to two hours late and
nearly all OF them were double
headers.

BILE one, was more than glad to get
to place where II did not look SO
much like snow bank"

Genuine Winter Weather

Right on the heels of most favora.
BILE fall, which has enabled the farm
ers to put away their crops with less
expense than for many years, and
which, by the way, have been un-
usually large, we are now having, what
Is termed by the stOckmen, pretty
severe winter weather. A heavy snow
which fell a week ago Ii still on the
ground, and renders IL almost inpos-
sible TO properly care for the stock,
and consequently many OF the farmers
have experienced heavy losses recent.

Ing "wednesday the reports are as
follows: Arthur and Herbert Green's
loss, 800 head Of sheep; Marshall Bros.
Is large bunch of sheep; Guy Hender-

Mills about the same number Of
sheep, and Fl. Hornback about 20

Railroad traffic was practically at q
standstill last Saturday and Sunday,
and the poor people suffered through
the lack Of Sunday mail. There is,
however, one consolation-the more
moisture we get this winter, the
greater the chances for bOunteous
crop next year. Reports say that the
storm was less severe In the Ordway
district than anywhere around Us.
