BIG sleowFALL AT MARBLE

Our snowfall in Marble, according to
the government records kept at the
power house, was lOl inches for this
winter up to and including February l..
More than half of this amount fell in
January when the record shows fifty
two inches.
There has been considerable specula-
tion as to what amount of snow we
might have reason to expect during the
last half of February and the month
of March, and, for the purpose of ar
irving at an estimate, the Booster re
porter dug into the record for past per-
formances. From February 10 to April
l in 1910 there were fortynine inches,
of which only nine inches fell in March.
In the same period in 1911 there were
thirtyfour inches, of which nineteen
fell in March. In the same period an
1912 there were ninety-seven inches, Of
which eightyseven fell in March. This
was the year of the big slide. In 1918,
same period, there were fifty seven
inches, of which twenty fell in the
month of March.-Marble Booster.
