Snowfall Area Covers Several
States; Thermometer Be-

MISSOURI IS RISING
Predictions Are That Ice Will
s Break Here By the End
of This Week

The storm which ragged over Bis
marck last night and this morning is
widespread, according to reports re-
ceived at the United States Weather
Bureau.
The snowfall area covers Manitoba,
the Dakotas, Montana and Wyoming
The amount of snowfall in most
places, however, is not heavy, and pre-
dicti0ns were that the storm would
end during the day.
The storm was accompanied by a
sharp drop in the temperature. The
lowest temperature reported in Bis
marck last night was II above zero.
1t was IA below in Calgary, 6 below at
Edmonton, % below at Prince Albert
and II below at. Winnipeg. The pre-
diction locally was for about 5 degrees
above zero tonight.
Because of the poor condition of
livestock in general there is much in
terest manifest in the extent and dura-
ton Of the present storm. It is
thought that the snowfall will not be
heaty enough to cause serious dam
age.
