WOLF, 37-4t Bunkerhill, Kans. Winter Weather Here. Long-expected winter weather arrived last Sunday night and Monday bringing the first snow of any consequence this season. Thermometers registered from zero to 10 degrees below. It is hard to estimate the amount of snowfall as a high wind caused it to drift badly, the roads running east and west being dificult to travel while the north and south lines were swept bare.

She is also survived by one sister: Mrs. Eliza Harrison of Springfield, Ohio. Big Loads of Wheat. Talking of big loads of wheat, seems to be a favorite topic with our exchanges, so for the time being we expect this will hold them level: The Solomon Valley mills reports this, and even for four horses it is not a trifle to haul such a load from the Kill creek neighborhood to Osborne, about 18 miles. J.

W. Locke delivered a load at the mill here on December 20 which weighed gross 7,340 pounds, and the net weight was 5,780, or 96 and 20 pounds. Test 61, price 70 cents and the load sold for $67.42. Next.Osborne Farmer. Oh, pshaw! On December 27, W.

W.

The test was 62 and the price 71 cents. This wheat was hauled over an ordinary country road, part of it very poor, and the way he had to come, a distance of about eight. miles.

Herald. The loads mentioned in the foregoing paragraphs would hardly be mentioned in this locality, being an everyday occurrance since threshing time. The writer had already mentioned a load of 104 bushels brought 14 miles by Sellens Bros. Since, al load was hauled to town from Geo. E.

Bechtel's ranch, 10 miles south, that deserves mention. This load weighed 117 bushels and 12 pounds net, and the driver, W. H. Barker, returned to the farm and brought in the second load, the same day, that weighed 112 bushels and 50 pounds. 230 bushels and 2 pounds hauled 10 miles in one day by one man and team is a good record.
