in from Cedar Greek Tuesday, be-
wailing the fact that the roads in their
locality were about as deep as they
are wide. During the storms OF the
last week, the first storms of the
winter, the snow drifted into the
lanes so deep as to make the roads
almost impossible. Then came the
rain and thaw, settling the snow to a
depth of about two feet with a crust
of ice on top, but not strong enough
to heal the weight of animals and We
hicles. Mr.. Evans said he was re-
minded of the first winter he spent
on his place, when the only man on
his place from December until spring
came was his then nearest neighbor

his place. Both Mr.. Evans and Mr.
Boldt that winter walked to town
many times for their groceries, car
