They got stuck in a drift and had to call for help to get out. The telephone men, doctors, and carriers have all been up against the real thing tiie past few weeks. The Cash family on route two are certainly having hard luck the past week. Last Friday they had a mule get his foot caught in the wire fence in such a manner that it cut its foot off just above the hoof. It died a short time afterwards. Monday the best milk cow they had on the place fell and broke it's neck, and the worst of it was that the cow be longed to Glenn and she had been fresh only a few days. The southwest route district was completely blocked with snow for over ten days during the blizzardv weather. Hut 1 managed to get around through pastures and plowed fields. If I run up against some thing so that 1 do not get around, I go thorough for 1 always carry a shovel and it does not make any dif ference how bad the roads are I will get to you some time during the day never give me up, for if I do not get to your place the first day. remember I am still on the road as J never turn back, unless there is a terrible blizz ard raging. The farmers have had a hard time getting feed to their stock the past three weeks, and during the blizzards that held for a week in the first part of February hundreds of head of stock were several days without feed or water. Many horses and cattle were completely snowed in and the only way that water and feed could be got to them through the roof of the sheds or building. There was very little loss during that trving week. Some of the farmers’ fences are cov ered with from 2 to 10 feet of snow. The third blizzard since the first of February struck us Saturday night and all day Sunday the 4th it almost made the road impassable. The road to the south bridge was completely blocked again W. O.
