NO RELIEF FOR

OTHER COAST STATES ARE ALSO
SUFFERING FREEZING
TEMPERATURES

San Francisco, Feb. 3.-The hope
of many Californians that cold
weather was thing of the past for
a while was blighted last night when
the weather bureau forecast continu-
ed cold fo rtoday with heavy frost
for the entire state in the early
morning. Meanwhile, the northern
end of the coast was settling down
to its sixth severe cold spell this
winter.
Ice was seen in Puget Sound for
the first time in several years, some
of the patches being 40 or SO feet
in diameter. A heavy run of ice
cakes in the Columbia river was re-
ported by mariners arriving at Port
land, Ore.
Spokane had the coldest day in 25
years with minimum early this
morning or one degree below zero.
The mercury dropped there 38 de-
grees in Ia hours ending at a. m.
In central California, recent SHOWS
still mark the hills with patches of
white but were melting today.
Around Los Angeles snow remained
on the mountains but the tempera-
ture in the city rose to a minimum
of 40 degrees.

Saturday morning. At this cleanup
session the three nine-power treaties

her from foreign domination will be

Hughes. The meeting tomorrow will

comes exactly twelve weeks after the
first meeting of the conference No

startled the world with a comprehen-
sive program for limitation of naval
armaments. Heads of nine delega-
tions met today to do final burnish-
ing of three far eastern treaties.

documents. Already a move is under

his own. But John was a clever pen
man, relatively speaking, and so,
wherever he was out with his sweet
heart, and his funds gave out, he'd
drop into a cafe, hotel, ice cream
parlor, candy shop or drug store, buy
a few things, write a check, cash in
on the balance, and politely bow
himself out. This went on for sew
eral weeks, until check after check
came back to the merchants who cash
ed them. They were not signed by
McKelyy's real name and the address
he gave was a fake. But as time
went by a clerk who at one time
cashed one of Johns checks for him,
recognized him on the street. He
was still with the girl, but that made
no difference to the officer who ar
rested him. McKelvy pleaded guilty
to forgery in circuit court yesterday
and was sentenced to one year in
states prison. McKelvy is % years
old and the bad checks he signed, as
far as has been discovered, total
thirty.

RANGES BURIED
UNDER SNOWFALL
UNLESS THAW COMES QUICKLY
LOSSES OF CATTLE AND
SHEEP MAY RESULT

Deadwood, Feb. 3.--Up to about
January LIST, the Black Hills country
had seldom experienced lovliel
winter season, but since that time the
thermometer has registered from IL
to 20 below zero quite regularly
with exceedingly heavy falls oi
snow. Highways have been blocked
in all directions and trains have beer
late from the east and south.
Word was received In this city
from the north country to the effect
that the snow has been so heavy In
the northern part of South Dakota
southern Montana, astern Wyoming
that the cattle and horses are now
unable to reach the grass and are
practically living on the twigs and
bark of trees and bushes. They are
said to have become very thin and
If a heavy thaw does not come soon
there will be heavy loss.
Old timers state that the snow
has been heavier this winter than
in many years, it laying from two to
four feet deep on the level.
During the past week the Lawrence
county county commissioners have
put teams and snow plows on the
roads and with the assistance o:
Spearfish residents have succeeded
in opening the 14-mile stretch oi
mountain road between that city and
Deadwood.

and he turned over to the police a
complete description of the property
taken, so taat in case any of the
goods shoula be offered for sale here
the police would be able to identify
them.
The robbery at Badger was bold
one and was certainly the work of
old hands in the business. The gang
gained entrance by breaking in the
front door. They took away with
them the entire stock of silk and
wool dress goods, besides Is suits
of mems clothing and several pairs
of shoes. There were also a number
of sheep-lined coats.
The thieves carried off their loot
in an automobile as the trail of the
car from in front of the store runs
to Arlington about IL miles south,
where all traces of the thieves were
lost. -

Should Change
Farmers Notes

Faulkton, Feb. 3.-"Under the
present system of agricultural fin
ancing, notes signed by farmers
should read Il promise to renew in
stead of Il promise to pay" III. N
Allen thus characterized the existing
short term loan system in his address
before the annual meeting of the
Faulk county farm bureau, held
here.
A very large problem in this per-
iod of readjustment is adequate term
financing for the farmer. When the
turnover in livestock is from one tc
four years and with at least a 50-5C
chance of some grain crop being
poor, the promise to pay in so or sc
days, or in six months, become:
something of a joke.
The conferences recently held BY
the congressional commission have
faced this question of adequate tern
financing for agriculture and it IL
sincerely hoped that some action may
be forthcoming which will be of ma
terial value.
According to Mr.. Allen in som,
places where banks have not beer
able to handle war finance money
agricultural loan associations have
been formed. The principal value o.
the war finance money is that it Il
available for at least a year, will
possibilities of longer time.

CONDITIONS ARE
LOOKING BETTER
GRAIN AND LIVESTOCK PRICES
MORE STABLE DURING
MONTH

Minneapolis, Feb. 8. Further
cause for optimism in business and
agricultural circles is contained in the
general survey issued by the ninth
federal reserve district for the month
of Januay. Briefly the report fol-
lows:
Financial conditions in the moth
west improved considerably in De-
cember and the early part of Janu-
ary Interest rates at the Federal
Reserve bank and other central banks
declined because many loans were
paid off in the larger cities.
The December movement of grain
and livestock to market was reduced
to totals below normal for the
month, although receipts of corn,
oats and calves increased. Greater
stability was shown in the prices of
grain and livestock at wholesale.
Buying in the agricultural Sec
tions was at low ebb although city
sales appear to have improved notice
ably. Wholesale sales of agricul-
cultuarl implements in 1921 were but
one-third of teh 1920 totals. De-
cember sales at the retail stores in
the larger cities exhibited a greater
increase over November than be
tween these months last year.
The volume of business and manu-
featuring registered substantial de
cline. as indicated by flour produc-
ton, shipment OF lumber manufac-
turers, sales of lumber retailers and
increased unemployment of labor.
Copper and linseed production rose
slightly. Individual debts which re-
fleet general conditions fell two per
cent. Business failures continued
at the former levels.
Promise for the future is indicated
in the estimate that larger acre
age was sown to winter wheat in the
northwest than last year, whereas
for the whole United States there
has been decline. Also building
operations projected as shown in per-
mits granted in nine important cities
wehe half again as large as a year
ago in the same month, and stocks
of retailers and wholesalers of lum-
Der were much lower than a year
ago.
The financial situation in the
northwest during December was
characterized by substantial reduc-
tions in loans at the larger city
banks. The customers of thirty-five
of the larger member banks reduced
their borrowings IA millions and en-
abled these banks to pay 10 1-2 mil
lions of rediscounts at the Minnea-
polls Federal Reserve bank. While
demand deposits in these banks has
dropped 4 IA millions, there was a
rise in time deposits of 5 1-2 million
and in government deposits of IL
millions, making a net rise in depo-
sits of all classes of 4 ga millions.
AT the same time savings deposits in
the nine savings banks at Minneapo-
lis and st. Paul rose nearly per
cent.
The ninth federal reserve bank ex-
perienced seasonable decline in its
total loans to member banks of 13
and IL millions in the five weeks
ending January 4th and 5 millions
in the succeeding two weeks. Oh
this total decrease of over IS mil
lions, the twin city banks were re.
sponsible for IA million. Reduction
of borrowings by country banks con
tinued at very moderate rate.
