COlDES1 WEATHER EVER
RECORDED IN NOVEMBER
2e Below Zero 1T Sheridan Wyoming,
Close to Zero Around Grand Ma
rails and Vicinity.

A cold wave with temperatre at
various places lower than ever be-
fore recorded in November, over
spreads the region west of the Mis-
sissippi river and will move east
ward to the Atlantic coast. Sheri-
dan, Wyo., reported the lowest tenn
perature, with 26 deg. below zero;
Lander, Wyo., "a deg. below zero,
and Cheyenne, Wyo., Yellowstone Ma
tional park, and Harve, Mont. 20 deg.
below.
Six above was the coolest report
ed in Grand Marais, but higher up
on the hill it was considerable colder
The intense cold reaches south
ward into the interior of Texas.
Weather bureau officials said the
cold wave would perhaps diminish
in intensity as it moved eastward.
Its movement and intensity were
somewhat dependent, they pionted
out, on the West Indian disturbance
which was reported in the Caribbean
sea in the vicinity of Swan islands.
That storm apparently was increas-
ing in intensity and will move north
ward probably attended by strong
winds reaching gale force during the
next thirty-six hours over the east
portion of the Gulf of Mexico and
South Florida.

RAGO MAN LOST IN
WOODS NEAR ELY
Horace Jackson, Grain Dealer, Has
Been Missing Since Last
Friday.

Horace Jackson, age 63, wealthy
member of the Chicago Board of
Trade, and we'll known among Du-
luth grainmen because of his annual
excursions to northern Minnesota,
has been lost since last Friday in the
woods north of Ely.
Despite the organization and ef-
forts of a number Of searching par
ties, composed of only experienced
woodsmen, no trace of him has been
found. On Saturday one searching
party discovered a place where it
was thought that Jackson might
have camped Friday night, but this
was simply conjecture. 1t is the
only clue, however, thus far picked
up.
Friends fear that he may possibly
have been hurt by an accidental dis
charge of his own gun or injured in
some other manner. They discount
the theory that he may have been
lost, for, while he has never before
hunted for game in the woods north
Of Ely, he is an experienced hunter
and little fear is entertained that he
would be unable to find his way.
The first searching party went out
Friday night, after Jackson had fail
ed to return to camp for supper.
Since then the searchers have been
reinforced every day. Sunday and
yesterday squads sent out were e.
quipped with enough provisions to
permit them to continue the search
indefinitely. This will make it un-
necessary to loose valuable time by
returning to Ely every day for pro-
visions. Friends will offer sub
stantial reward for the finding Of
the missing man.

He DOVE RIGHT IN

When boys began fooling with a
boat, the door of 'Davy Jones lock-
er" swings wide open. If any Of
them go home alive, it's luck.
1t was the same old story last A.
pril, in Norfolk, Va. Three boys
jumped into a boat, another set
them adrift. A ten-year-old tried
to heave rope to a friend on shore
and went over the side with the line
Couldn't swim. The rest of the
trio scared stiff. Just about time
for the graphing hooks, when a fel-
low came along who knew what to
do.
He was a scout-Cecil Lowenberg,
of Trop 4; weight 104 pounds, all
sand; no fuss or false motions-just
dove in, snaked the kid over to a
boat which was hitched to the shore
and held him till a man pulled them
out.
The scout says that he, himself,
was in no danger. The National
Court of Honor had to agree with
him, but bungler might have lost
his life. An honor medal, earned by
taking risks, is decoration to be
proud of, but letter of commenda-
tion, such as Scout Lowenberg re-
ceived is. just as honorable when it
means that, by good judgment, the
rescue has been made without dam
ger to the rescuer.-Boys' Life.

County Auditor Carter left for

Cook County, on Sunday morning
and will not return until he bags

Hunting moose and deer seems to
be more popular than ever Judging
by the number of hunters who have
gone out from this village this year.
The Importance of keeping the
roads we'll dragged just before
freezing up has been demonstrated
in Cook County the past two weeks.
The roads that were we'll dragged
are now as smooth as pavements
and will remain so until spring
while the roads that were not kept
in condition are very rough and will
so remain. Very few parts of the
North Shore boulevard were not
dragged but those that were un-
dragged are very noticeable.
