SOME SNOW DURING
WINTER OF 1912

Made reminiscent by the snow storm
OF last week. which tied up railroad
traffic for several days throughout the
greater part OF the state. a gentleman
who has resided in Colorado for more
than forty years remarked to The
Record man this morning that the
winter OF Is7l-s was one of the most
famous for its snow fall in the history
Of this section OF the country.
1T was the first winter OF my resi-
dence in Colorado and was living
at the time at Georgetown In what IS
now Clear Creek county. That year
there was an unusual succession of
snow storms from the time winter
set in until spring and the semi-arid
country along the eastern base OF the
mountains was given such a wetting
from the melting snow as II had not
had since the primeval deluge. The
records kept at Georgetown that win
ter showed that the suow fall from
September LIST to June LIST was In ex-
cess of eighty-eight feet
Food was awfuliy scarce in George
town that winter on account of the
exceptionally long stretch OF cold
snowy weather and prices went to an
aititudinous height. especially hay and
other provender for stock. There was a
great deal OF suffering and many
horses and cattle died OF starvation or
exposure. Hay. and not very good

Those taking up wrestling either for
physical development or as a profession
should by all means be sure that their
muscles and constitution are in a condi-
ton to stand the strain and exertion
called for IN a battle on the mat. Those
who are weak and frail need not be dis
couraged. for a slight course In gym
nasium work of about two weeks will
be sufficient to get into condition to en-
able them to work with some one who
understands the game enough not to
take unfair advantage of their condition.
The main thing Is not to over-exert
oneself on the start. five minutes is
enough for a beginner and the time can
be increased as condition improves.
Always make It a point to stop prac-
ticing while feeling good. and by this
means there Is no danger Of inturing the
heart. II little stiff and sore after the
first practice, don't become discouraged.

start Always use warm water, but very
little. in taking a bath. then rinse on
with cold shower. as cold water tones
the nerves and will increase the circula-
ton IL taken Immediately after the
warm water. Use an alcohol rub. as 1t
will prevent catching cold.
There are several rules which Begin
nefS IN tne wTestiing game anu tnOse
who have been wrestling for short
time must observe. and adhere to all the
time. The beginner should learn to fol-
low these rules. and should make a study

Practice makes perfect in any line ,,f
effort. and the only way an athlete can
hope to be successful is by working hari
all the time. keeping his mind on his
work. and ieanring to make his hands

greatest excitement.
The most important rule for beginners
to observe Is that of keeping theshandst
