rious disease which is affecting the
Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep and

spans the Missouri river from shore
to shore for many miles south of this
point and marks n of the earliest
freezing dates for the Big Muddy

records kept here and the statements
of pioneers. Grain boats, which have
been doing a heavy business this fall,
continued running until ii was no
longer possible to make Roadway
against the ice. Nearly all the fleet
managed to make Williston before
tying up. The %freeZeup is three
weeks earlier than last year. old
timers say it indicates a long, cold
winter. On the other hand, Indians
and white trappers of western North
Dakota and eastern Montana are
making predictions of a mild winter,
basing their predictions on the habits
of the animals of the section.
