The recent fall of snow which en-
veloped the breaks of Salmon river
within its fieecy fold was not invited
nor appreciated to any great extent
by this section of the country, owing
to the fact that most of the stockmen
were beginning to plan along the lines
of blowing and planting. However, the
sunshine has already driven the snow
line back toward the timbercd areas
and within a few days dark patches
upon the verdant hillsides will be
an apparent fact that the delayed plans
are in full operation Although. a few
of the stockmen have felt the severity
of the winter, which has been general
throughout the northwest, the majority
of the stockmen on Salmon river
have plenty of hay, and the stock are
in excellent shape to go on the spring
range.
