Wilcox of the telephone gang which has been working on the lines of the Nebraska Telephone company in this vicinity for several weeks, received word from Lincoln to take his en tire gang to that point for service at once as the line had two hundred and fifty poles down The morning papers record the storm as one of the worst in the west In years, the wires of the railroads suffering equally with those of the telephone and telegraph companies. Colorado reports a heavy snow prevailing over the entire state with no prospects of a let up in sight. In western Ne braska and Kansas sleet did the greatest amount of damage and the trains from the west were nearly all late on this account.

Texas reports the worst blizzard in years, raging In the Panhandle country with high winds and deep snows. This is a good thing for that' section where a dry winter means severe loss. .In this immedi ate vicinity the roads are in terrible condition and it is all a team can do to drag an empty wagon through them. Trade Is suffering consider ably on thnt account. It Is colder here today and the weather bureau predicts the day to be fair and warmer, in the west portion with warmer in the eastern part tomor row. This gives promise of more rain here, something which Is not wanted as the month has been the wettest November in years. To Consult Ir. GlrTord L. B.
