The prolonged cold spell of weather
which has been holding Salmon river
| country in vicelike grip for the past
month seems to be broken, and warm
chinook wind is melting the snow off
the hillsides and thawing out the froz-
ell ground. This is a welcome change
! to the cattlemen, as most OF them
| have been forced to feed their stock
since the middle of November. Most
Of them are well fixed with forage
and grain, and feel they will be able
to pull through the winter and bring
their cattle out in fine shape until the
arrival Of spring weather.
