The supply was exhausted during a previous cold sn ip in ihe first part of the month, and the situation is now deplorable. The suffering is augmented by the fact that food is almost as scarce as fuel.

Many of the inhabitants are settlers who located claims last summer and who are dependent on what the railroad bring in. The railroads are trying to do all in their power to relieve the distress, but they are handicapped by a scarcity of cars. They have not enough to sup ply the urgent demand for food and fuel, and widespread distress is inevitable unless the weather speedily mod erates.
