ilsters are in requisition the nights are very cold and the frosts render standing waters and those of some small streams FRIGID AND GLASSY but altogether the weather cather is seasonable and all that

this winter there have been heavier ae posits deposits of snow in the mountains than fell there last year and if rne rue season opens suddenly andward and warm tas f as it did last we may again LOOK FOR HIGH WATERS and destructive floods and unless timely precautions precaution s are taken those most immediately interested will be no mo better prepared to tight the watery elements han than they

certainly tends to make business more unsettled drive away capital from the territory and to smother the spirit of enterprise and throw a still greater number oi of idlers upon the community but they willell will wili all ali have to be fed by somebody it is a cause for gratitude that notwithstanding the string stringency ency of the tim esthe people have something to eat something to wear many of
