WHITEHALL
(Too late for last week.

On account of the storm Monday
night not many dancers could get in
to attend the dance on the 18th.
Those attending had a nice time.
Luther Dodd is hauling corn from
the elevator this week to use for
spring feed.
The storm Sunday night and Mon
day was the most severe one that has
his this part of the country in years,
according to the oldest settlers and
the damage done was heavy among
the farmers. Many cattle were froz-
en- and smothered and a few horses.
The roads are drifted so that they
are almost impossible and the few
reports of losses have been from
close to town. It is believed that
further out the loss will be much
heavier among the larger ranchers.
Chef. Hall lost his registered Hol-
stein bull in the storm.
| Ithel Thomas lost a milk cow
smothered in drift.

cattle which strayed away from the

sion of the Theodore Roosevelt Me-
mortal Highway Association was per-
fected last Wednesday a week ago at

CONDITION OE TRADE,

For months mod eration on the part of the best informed financial circles has been in evidence. at times dis misnl in periods of depression of stocks and a,tinge of pcssimism on oc- casions of high prices have been the forms in which this tendency to m od- crnmcnt influence, shown by action of the Federal Reserve Boa rd. has sup p"tcd this commcndable tendency.
 The review of trade conditions of F.. c. Dun and company for last week. indicates that the process of credit de- iation is encouraging caution in ,usi- ness underta kings. II says that this moderation in business activity. more notit-ca bIe in the East. is the result of weather dra whacks, financial tcnden- rics and price consid dcrations. The recent severe storms have aggravated the CongeSted transportation situation delaying movement of raw material Is and other merchandise and impeding

Abatement of the general cpidem of the influenza will relieve the latter depressing influence. and the great demand for additional "quipmcnt for railroads. which is ex- pcct"d 10 follow Inc return of the rail- roads to private ownership. will be a tremendous incentive for renewed ac- tivity in many lines.

BOARD OF HEALTH AND
 INCIDENTAIS.

Lin last evenings Hera Id we traced the differences between the budget of the Taxpayers association and that of the city in regards to two of tue items listed. the charities appropria- tion and the special appropriations. We must admit that a mistake of over a thousand dollars was made of which more later.
 Tonight the incidental fund and the Board of Health will be consid- cred. There is not the large list of items which differ that existed last evening. but the Taxpayers account for a certain sum by sashing in these two lists.
 The Board of Health sustains cuts Of but one thousand dollars. Repairs to wagons. for which the city al- lowed $200. is entirely cut. incidentals are brought from $500 10 s4OO and the slaughter house item. for which $500 is allowed by the city has no appropria ton from the Taxpayers. The total expense of this departm ent Dh tue 'lLH puuSSt IS fopuoU ana on the other So9,000.
 The incidental fund. inasfar as the differences are concerned. appears thus:
