Reports received here indicated that side roads in many sections were blocked with drifts three feet deep or more. This was particularly true of the central part of the state, the eastern section having received rait instead of snow and the snowfall hav ing been relatively light in the ex- treme western part of the state. The snow was accompanied by re- latively mild temperatures, the mini- mum here last night having been 31 degrees. Jamestown Is Buried At Jamestown the snow was a foot deep on the level and scores of auto- mobiles were stuck on rural high- ways and city streets. It snowed steadily for 24 hours, the heaviest downfall coming during Thursday. A movement was launched this morn- ing to organize Jamestown business- men to clear the roads and streets. ‘The mercury was just at the freezing point. Mrs. J. P. Reeve, Burlington, was | injured late yesterday in an accident 10 miles north of Bismarck which was caused by the snow. She and Mr. Reeve were en route to Bismarck when they came upon another ma- chine stalled in a snowdrift. Their brakes failed to hold and they plunged into the ditch in preference to striking the other car. Mrs. Reeve suffered fractures of her right wrist | and one right rib.. | Bh; Plows Uscless Officials of the maintenance divi- | sion of the state highway department said the snow caught them unawares jas they had not yet attached plows ;and other snow removal equipment | | to trucks which will be used later in the season to clear the highways. Unofficial reports from sections north of here were that motorists could get through on the main routes if they used chains on their cars.

D., Nov. 1—(?)— Trainmen of the Northern Pa- cific railroad were playing the role of the good samaritan today. Thursday afternoon and night beth main and branch line trains stopped to pick up snow - bound motorists and railroad officials ordered that the practice be con- tinued today if necessary. In many cases train crews res- cued men. women and children who otherwise would have been forced to spend the night in their machines. Thursday night a crack ecast- bound train stopped at Dawson to pick up snow bound passengers and the west-bound flyer stopped at Sterling for the same purpose. LOWER PRODUCTION AND HIGHER PRICES HELP AGRICULTURE Federal Farm Department Re- ports Stronger Position Than a Year Ago Washington, Nov. 1.—(?;—The De- ‘partment of Agriculture announced ; reports | today that its November showed agriculture to be in a stronger Position this year than a year ago largely on account of lower produc- tion and higher prices. Since early summer, the depart- ment said, prices of practically all groups of farm commodities with the exception of meat animals, had in- creased. The total output of principal food and feed crops this year, it continued, would be somewhat below that of last year although the acreage harvested would be about the same. Hay was listed as the only important crop | which substantially cxceeds produc- | tion of last year. Notwithstanding favorable weather in September, the department added, crops of grain, potatoes, sweet pota- toes and tree fruits would be smaller than last season and it now seemed |probable that yields per acre of aB crops combined would average 7 per cent below yields last year and 4 per cent yields of the preceding 10 years. | Cattle Feeding Slower Poorer corn prospects this summer, the report said, influenced cattle feeders to reduce their operations. The lower level of cattle prices and smaller feeding profits during the first half of the year tended to slow down cattle feeding operations. The number of cattle and calves shipped from markets into the corn belt between July 1 and September 30 was 20 per cent below last year. It was the second smallest movement of feeder cattle for that period in 12 years. Sheep Total Steady Information the early part of last month, the report said, indicated there would be about as many sheep and lambs fed this fall as a year ago. It appears that the eastern part of the corn belt will feed more lambs, Colorado and western Nebraska will feed as many as last year, but there will be decidedly fewer fed in the Pa- cific northwest. Action of the potato market, it was said, has followed closely the gener- ally strong underlying conditions and prices have continued from two to three times as high as a year ago. Price trends of fruit and vege- tables generally have been down re- cently but recovery is expected when fall crops are in storage and can be moved out gradually. i eg it NATIONAL BANK AND TRUST COMPANY OF BISMARCK IS NAM Eleven Prominent Business a Professional Men Chosen as Directors BANK CAPITAL IS INCREASEG United With Northwest Chai Containing 83 Strong Fi- nancial Houses The First Guaranty bank went into the big financial known as the Northwest Bancorporat tion, of Minneapolis, resources $444, tod: vill become the National and Trust Company of Bismarck. national bank charter has been plied for, directors of the new ganization have been selected an when the charter is received, the Officers will be elected.
