The continued rainy weather has
made such high stage of water at
| the Smith lime stone quarry that it
| is thought to be impractical to, crush
stone at this point any longer. The
crusher will probably be moved from
| this place on down the creek to the
Jesse Phillis farm, where the lime
stone are found above the level of
the creek. This will cause a few
days delay in spreading the crushed
stone on the road.
| 1t seems there was near cloud
burst few miles north of this place,

was done to the corn crop along the
streams.

urged to attend Bring wool pieces,
thread, needles, thimble and scis-
sors. We have been shown samples
of the demonstration work and can
say that it is time profitably spent
for anyone interested in this line of

COLD WAVE SWEEPS
/. OVER MIDDLEWEST
SLEET AND SNOW FALLS
THROUGHOUT MOST OF
REGION

CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-A cold wave
that assumed blizzard proportions in
the Rocky Mountains area, swept
over the middlewest today, with the
prospect of a decided drop in tenn
perature by tonight. Sleet and
snow was falling throughout most of
the region, while in the Rockies the
snow was a foot deep and drifts
were demoralizing transportation. A
minimum of % above zero was fore
cast.
The mail flying schedule between
Salt Lake City and Chicago was a
most demoralized by the storm. The
plane due to start last night stayed
in its hangar and it was announced
that none would start west until the
plane from Omaha arrived.
Officials at the Omaha field said
that eastbound mail probably cannot
leave Salt Lake City and also cannot
proceed east to Rock Springs, Wyo.
Over western Nebraska as much as
five inches of snow was reported
whipped into drifts. 80 :
