WEEK OF RAIN
SNOW and MUD
OLD MAN WINTER TRACKS
UP SUMMERS BACK
DOOR STEP

Frosty haired Winter is reputed
to have habit of sometimes
lingering in the lap of Spring un
til he has completely worn his
welcome out, but this week he
sprung a new trick by trampine
over Indian summers reservation
with muddy boots.
The beautiful, warm, summer.
like weather that lasted right up
to Saturday night shifted in "a
hours to rain, snow and slush that
lasted from Sunday night to the
present time Thursday night
with a few hours let up Wednes-
day and even some sunshine
Thursday.
The rain and wet snow amount
ed to moisture estimated at two
inches here in the river valley.
On the higher benches to the
north and south much more snow
fell and some still lies on the
ground. Streets and country roads
are mass of mud and water. The
moisture is of untold value to
crop prospects for next year.
The storm struck in much great
er severity along the Canadian
border. At Scobey it was destruct-
i've in effect. the great weight of
wet snow carrying down all wire
horsepower. telephone and tele-
graph. The town, according to re-
ports, is still without lights or
wire communication. Out in the
country drifts are said to be from
four to eight feet deep, with
foot on the level. The temper
ature has not been down to freez-
ing during the storm.
