A Dakota farmer sends us the
following despatches clipped froni a
western paper, to gine our readers an
idea of the whiter experienced out
there last winter.
Foreman, N. D., March 16.- In
Sargent county, as in all other parts
of the northwest, this winter has no
parallel. Sbartllng stories are told of
gigantic snow hanks, not among the
least of which is that of a farmer in
Harlem township, who claims to have
added thirty-five feet of tubing to
his well in order to bring water to the
sarfane of the snow. Z. 0. Patten,
proprietor of the Washburn Hotel
here, has found it necessary to build
a barbed wire fence around the roof
of his barn to prevent further damage
by stray stock, a large horse having
fallen through the roof recently while
walking over a supposed snow drift.
Sidney • Mullin vouches for the
correctness of the statement that he
has dug down thirteen feet into a
drift to find the top of his windmill.
The sloping roof of a large grainhouse
is said to be the summit of a most
excellent toboggim slide at Havana -
and there are others.
Pierre, S. D., merchants are getting
things in shape to make a quick. move
out of their basement and defiers in
ease or need when the river breaks up
The fact that there has been nearly
seventy inches of ' snowfall in the
Missouri valley in 'North Dakota
makes them fearful of results Of
-
fleets iu rnost counties of the state
are fastening their bridges with cables
to save their loss in freshets. The
Jim river section will suffer most from
that ceuse as there are driftsof snow
and ice almost filling the valley from
bluff to bluff. These drifts will hold
the water as dams, and there will be
iinmeese fiends. '
