Little respite, If any, is seen from

A temperature OF 10 degrees below
was recorded at the government Of
fee in Moorhead at s o'clock this
morning, or a rise of degrees COM
pared with the temperature the same
hour Friday. --...
A stiff breeze from the northwest
during the early morning today made
the cold more penetrating to pedes-
trians than that Of Friday. Nipped
ears and cheeks were nursed in
many Fargo and Moorhead homes.
Train service was little crippled.
The delays on the Great Northern

tras, said officials OF the road. Great
Northern train No. 20, the Red River
Valley Limited, pulled into Fargo this
morning about two hours behind its
schedule, and train No. of the
Northern Pacific was a few minutes
over two hours tardy.
Train No. of the Northern Paci-
fic was more than four hours late
with the result that the branch lines
the southwestern and the train to
Casselton-were held until the local
from the east arrived. Great North
ern train No. 4 was reported on time
early this morning, and Northern
Pacific No. 4 about 40 minutes late.
Government reports showed a tenn
perature of 20 below at Bismarck and
Devils Lake, and 20 below at Will
liston, the coolest point in the
United States States at o'clock
this morning. Duluth reported -1S. st.
