more penetrating. This is very un
usual weather in this part of the
' valley, even for March.
1 Fred Musjerd the water man says
i that he is having a heluva time to
keep his water tank and faucets
’ from freezing and doesn’t know just

all his years in the water business.

1 again after a sojourn in the hospi
i ta! following a minor operation. He

■ tent? watersoeked.
, The de-a? :H*"rt ha- moved ove',

j have caused the fire. Further par
ticulars will be given in the next

partment answered a hurry call from

1 creosoted smokestack threatenea

* into a near panic by reason of the
smoke which filled the building.

work of it and order was soon re
stored. Xo damage was sustained.
