RECORD IS SET
IN HEAVY FALL
OF SNOW HERE
Greatest Amount Of Snow in
Over Two Years-Will BE !
of Benefit to Farmers /

Bismarck and southwestern North
Dakota had the heaviest snowfall in
over two years yesterday morning.
afternoon and evening. @. W. Rob-
erts, federal weather forecaster, said
today.
Not since April, 1925, has the south :
western part of the state had such
u record snowfall, six inches having
fallen yesterday with "A inch pre-
cipitation. On April 25, 1925, a seven
inch fall was recorded.
The snowfall also set another rec
ord, Roberts said, being the heaviest
at any observation point in Mime
sofa, North and South Dakota and
Wyoming for the day. Other parts
Of the state apparently were little
affected by the snow, the northwest
ern part of the state not recording
precipitation yesterday, while light
snow fell at Fargo.
With flair and warmer" predic-
tion for tonight and tomorrow, indi-
cations are that the snow covering
will be greatly reduced in the next
few days, Roberts said.
"Untold benefit" will accrue to
farmers from the precipitation. Rob-
erts declared, pointing out that the
top six inches Of soil over cultivated
fields and well grazed pastures is
practically devoid Of frost, SO that
the melting snow can penetrate.
Comparative figures show that
March snowfall will far outstrip that
of previous winter months of this
year and last. Snowfall in Decem-
Der, 1926, was a. inches; in Janu-
ary, l.8 inches and in February, 9
inch.
In December, 1925, the snowfall
was inch; in January, 1926, 3
inches; February, is inches 9nd
March, a trace.

fecting his department which will be-
come laws July !.
In some cases state officials will
have to set up machinery to carry

garding the new statutes and changes
made in existing laws.

rest from the rush Of work which
has marked the last 60 days, At
torney General George Shafer and

prOvement.

200 at Banquet
Nearly 200 people attended the
banquet served in the main dining
room of the Patterson hotel Wcdnes-
day evening. A unique feature of
the program, and one which seemed
to meet with the hearty approval of
all guests, was the fact that it did
not include single speech. Several
musical numbers were given between
courses, however. Miss Clara Peltier
Of the Indian school here sang three
numbers, and q string trio, composed
of Miss Marjorie Andris'. Ado'nh
Engelhardt and DR.. L. r. Priske,
played two selections. Archie NC
Phee and Marjorie Smith did Il
couple of song and dance special
ties, and little Miss Veronica Wester-
lein cleverly presented IA "Raggedy

led by Henry Halverson.
Following the dinner, the guests
were taken to Patterson's hall where
dancing was enjoyed until an early
hour. Music was furnished by Dir
lam's seven-piece orchestra.

DEATH LIST MOUNTING

Tokyo. March lO.-lP)-Official
reports to the home office from
the earthquake area say there are
2,l58 dead, 4,1O7 injured and 8S
missing. About 6.oe0 houses were
DESTROYED and 2,eo0 badly dam
aged.
Tokyo, March 10.-(P>-Each sue
ceeding report from the earthquake
area in Central Japan furnishes
fresh chapter in a tale Of horror.
Bitter cold, snow, rain, Overflowing
streams and lack Of food and shelter
all have added to the trials Of the
terrOr-stricken persons whose homes
either toppled about them when the
earth rocked Monday evening, or
were burned in the fires that fol-
lowed.
The army, navy and police are
making every effort to reach the suf-
fercrs but broken railway tracks,
blocked roads and flooded country
are hindering them. Violent wind
and rough seas have prevented de-
stroyers from reaching the scene
with supplies.
Communication with the region is
still spasmodic and thus complete
lists of the casualties cannot be
made. Figures compiled by the home
office in accordance with its latest
advices indicate nearly $500 persons
Damage May Reach $76,O0O,OOO
damage may amount to $75,OOO,OOO.
A late dispatch from Miyazu says
the rain has stopped there, enabling
relief work to be carried on. Sur
vivors have again started the almost
hopeless task Of searching for lost
relatives. Some bodies are being
burned and others arc being buried
in pits dug by soldiers.
Police are maintaining strict order
in the quake zone. Health officials
are using their energies to prevent
an epidemic. and thousands Of coolies
are at work repairing roads as SOL
diers and sailors are collecting
bodies and building crude barracks
to shelter. the living.
Food Badly Needed
Mineyama, Kaya, Onogachi, Yama-
da. Ichita and other desolated towns
and villages badly need food and
other supplies, the rivers Noda and
Fuda having overflowed to such an
extent as to interfere seriously with
relief parties. It is expected many
injured will die. through lack Of
medical attention, and that scores
will succumb of cold and privation.
The Tokyo municipality and the
Chamber of Commerce are raising
relief funds. Prefectural governors
are being urged by the home office
to collect supplies and money.
Charley MacVeagh, American am
bassador, called on Foreign Minister
Shidehara today to present the SYM
pathy of his country and offer Red
Cross assistance. The foreign min.
ister voiced his appreciation but
said he did not believe outside aid
was needed, as the government and
prcfectures appeared able to handle
the situation.

REV. PALMER
OPENS SERIES
;. OF MEETINGS
Services Will BE Held Each
Evening at Presbyterian
Church. in Bismarck

Taking as his theme the event Of
Jesus passing through Jericho, Rev.
S. f.. Palmer, pastor of the Presby-
terian church of Waukesha, Wis, last
night began series of 10 special
meetings as guest preacher of the
First presbyterian church here. Rev.
Palmer told the story Of how Fac
chaeus, who was short man and
unable to see Christ because Of the
large crowds thronged about, climbed
into a sycamore tree, and Of how
Jesus, seeing him called him to come
down, saying that "this day he would
abide in his house"
"Zacchaeus had a plan," said Rev.
Palmer, "and he will make it worth
while for every young man or wom-
an who makes place for Him. Are
you accepting the standards of the
crowds tonight, accepting them for
your life without testing them for
yourself. or do you have u plan?
There is no one who responds more
fully and genuinely to the challenge
Of Jesus Christ than a young man
does when he begins to feel that
challenge in his life. He brings
that challenge tonight to the young
man and young woman" declared the
preacher.
Something happened to Zacchaeus
because he came to the place where
Jesus was," he continued. ut would
be folly for me to say that Jesus
Christ would be found only in the
First Presbyterian church at Bis
marck for the next ten days. But !
do know a good many people will
have a better chance to find Him
here than listening to the radio or
even reading their own Bibles at
home. Ever since the day of Pentecost
we know that wherever His people
are gathered and are ready to re-
ceive His message they always re-
ceive the message to the extent that
they are prepared for 1t.
Meetings Open to Everyone
"These meetings, beginning to-
night, are for everyone in this house
and everyone in Bismarck. ] wonder
if there is anyone" asked the preach
er, "who is satisfied with his Chris
tian experience! Or are you like
see Jesus! It is my own conviction
that every person in Bismarck wants
the reality. that Jesus alone can

uttermost parts of the earth in

most apt to be. Never yet has any
one gone apart to the place where
Jesus is going to be but Jesus has

called him >by name and given him
that blessing by which he and every
man can say, I know Him whom !
believe
"Never yet has Jesus refused fell
lewship with the worst or most con-
temptible sinner on earth. Some folks
will refuse the fellowship Of broth
ers in Christ, but Jesus never does.
Whenever you and 60 to the place
where Jesus is going to be we take
him back with us. Just let Jesus
be the head Of your house, be your
unseen guest ct every meal and He
will give you blessings--and will
guarantee that he never fails"
Reverend Palmer concluded by say
ing: "Let Us make these 10 days our
sycamore tree of Jericho--to make q
plan to 60 to the place where Jesus
Is going to be and Jesus will do as
he has always done-bring that to
us personally which is going to
make life different"
