“ COURTS OFFICIALS’ APPEALS + 14 Claimed Errors of Law Are Cited by Minot Men’s At- torneys Here The North Dakota supreme court ‘Wednesday had under advisement the appeal of two Ward county officials convicted of extortion. State’s Attorney Robert W. Palda of Minot reviewed. the facts in the case before the court Tuesday afternoon, but defense counsel did not make an ‘appearance, resting on briefs filed in the case along with those of the pros- ecution, The two men, Fred L, Anderson, jus- tice of the peace, and T. C. Wilde. county constable, were convicted last July 19 of extorting an automobile from H. V. Ward, traveling salesman. District Judge A. J. Gronna sen- tenced Anderson to three years and ‘Wilde to two years in the state pen- itentiary. In their briefs, defense attorneys cited 14 claimed errors of law on the part of the court as basis for the ap- INDIANS RECREATE HUNTING GROUNDS Chief of Crows to Restore Wild- life as Windfall in Times of Depression Crow Agency, Mont., March 4—(P)— Chief Yellowtail of the Crow Indians is recreating a happy hunting ground on the tribal lands of his people, but no hunting will be allowed. The chief, a Carlisle graduate and superintendent of the vast reserva- tion, is interested only in wild life conservation in an “aesthetic sense.” “There is a three-fold purpose be- hind the program,” he explained in precise English. “To help preserve the American buffalo on this continent; to take care of our people in periods of depression and to see the buffalo and all big fame roam the hills again unmolested as they did years ago.” By truck, Chief Yellowtail brings surplus animals from Yellowstone Na- tional park to build up the herds on the reservation. 231 Persons Routed From Hotel by Fire Muskegon, Mich., March 4.—(?)—A four-story section of the 400-room Occidental hotel was destroyed Wed- nesday by fire which routed 231 guests, sending four of them to hos- pitals.

(Associated Press Photo) Present Winter May Be Forecast of Weather Cycle Change Appar- ent, According to Chief of Federal Bureau By J. B. KINCER Chief, Division of Climate and Crop Weather, U. 8. Weather Bureau. Washington, March 4,— The recent severely cold weather, following, in the main, many mild winters, has caused people throughout the coun- try to ask: “Does this portend a re- turn to the reputed cold winters of ‘granddad’s day’ years ago?” For a proper perspective of the present sit- uation a brief review is necessary. With the persistence of mild win- ters, year after year, for more than @ decade, up through the early Thir- ties, a careful study of long records in different parts of the United States was made. This disclosed the exist- ence of certain very definite trends, often covering many years, and show- ed, furthermore, that for the past quarter of # century, up to the pres- ent’ winter, temperatures had been definitely tending to be higher than normal, with a corresponding de- poet in rainfall, at least through Temperature Trends Examples of temperature trends may be cited. For the city of Wash- ington it is found that nineteen of the last twenty-three winters, 1912- 13 to 1934-35, inclusive, have been warmer than normal; that all but one of the last fifteen have been mild —the average winter temperature normal or above—and that the warm- est winter of record, going back con- siderably more than a century, was that of 1831-32. This is in marked contrast with “granddad’s day,” say, the ninteen winters from 1854-55 to 1872-73, fourteen of which were cold- er than normal, with 1855-56 the cold- est in more than 100 years. For New Haven, Conn., every one of the 10 winters from 1923-24 to 1932-33 averaged warmer than nor- mal; so also did 18 of the last 23, and 33 of the last 47. In St. Louis 15 of the last 17 winters had above- normal temperatures, ‘These records are typical of the central and northern portions of the United States east of the Rocky Mountains up to ‘but not including the present winter. However, in an article by the writ- er, entitled “Is Our Climate Chang- ing?” appearing in the Monthly Weather Review of September, 1933, the following appeared: “The ab- normally warm weather experienced in general for a long time past does not mean that cold periods have been entirely absent. On the contrary, the records indicate that occasional brief spells of abnormally cool or extreme- ly cold weather are characteristic of | prevailing high-temperature trends. | ‘The cold winter of 1917-18 may be| cited as an example, coming at a running comparatively high, and al-. so the fact that the lowest official temperature of record for the United States—66 degrees Fahrenheit below zero—occurred in the Yellowstone Na- tional Park on Feb. 9, 1933.” * Winter Contrasts There are usually considerable dif- ferences, in many cases marked con- trasts, in the severity of a winter in different parts of the country. The general rule is that when a winter is mild over the eastern half of the United States it is cold or severe over the western half—and vice versa—but this is not invariable. There are two general avenues of approach of cold winter weather from Arctic regions into the United States —the Mackenzie valley route in Northwestern Canada and that from the Hudson bay region in the East. The most frequented path is the former, and it is taken by the gen- eral cold waves of wide extent that cover both the Midwest and the East. Those coming down the Hudson bay! way usually cover only the north- eastern states, as during the past two winters. For the present winter ext-nsive air masses of abnormally h‘ch pres- ‘gure, attended by extremely low tem-_ Wet Years peratures, have followed one another in seemingly endless procession from the Arctic region up the Mackenzie valley, across Western Canada, and into the United States. Thus the cold has been continuous without a let-up. The Present Cold Spell Following the abnormally warm summer of 1935, unseasonably low temperatures began in November, that month being colder than normal in most ites. December followed suit in the East, many states being from 6 to 8 degrees colder than dur- ing the average December. The first two weeks of January brought a re- spite generally, but about the middle of the month severe winter weather began in earnest, appearing first in the Northwest, then slowly spreading to the midwest and the eastern states, Then followed about a month in the East and more than a month in the Midwest and Northwest, with a remarkable persistence of abnormally low temperatures, day after day, which made the period of cold the longest and most severe experienced for more than half a century at many places east of the Rocky Moun- tains, At Devils Lake, N. D., for a period of five weeks the temperature aver- aged 21 below zero, an unprecedented condition for this country. Even as far south as Nebraska, there had been, up to Feb. 18, 28 consecutive days with zero temperature, against the previous record of 18 days, and the end was not yet, while in Iowa the cold had been the most persistent and severe in more than a century. Heavy snow, drifted by high winds many northern states, blocked coun- try roads, closed schools, and resulted in a shortage of fuel in many places, while water supplies for stock and domestic purposes were made un- available by hard freezing in rural communities, Rainfall Trends For the country as a whole, up to recently, the weather for the last quarter of a century has been tend- ing not only to warmer but to dryer than normal, with the general run of winters mild to abnormally warm and the summers dry, culminating in two extremely severe drouths—those of 1930 and 1934, Both the temperature and rainfall curves, when smoothed mathematically, show wavelike pro- gression, first up and then down, with the intervals from crest to crest cov- ering long, but irregular, periods of time, and usually oppositely directed. That is, in most cases an upward trend in temperature is accompanied by a downward trend in the rainfall curve. In view of these general character- istics the question naturally arises, “What do the present sharp return to an extremely cold winter and the sub- stantial recovery of moisture condi- tions in 1935 indicate for the immedi- ate future?” Since these up-and- down trends usually cover many years, the temperature of a single winter and the rainfall of one summer do not afford the working basis for pre- dicting with a confident degree of certainty. However, an exhaustive study of past records gives climatolo- gists reasons to believe that the warm and dry trends have reached their natural limits, so that we may rea- sonably expect a reversal of condi- tions, with a general run of colder and wetter weather in prospect for a good many years to come. 119% 4th St. Phone 1774 Dr. R.

These products were purchased directly from the farmers and livestock growers of this territory. They were paid for in cash, at average prices that compare favorably with the prices pre- vailing in other markets throughout the country, after adjustment for freight Tates. The service rendered by our Fargo plant is evidently highly satisfactory to producers. The steady growth of our business in Fargo during the past ten years proves that confidence in our pol- icies, our service and fair prices is widespread. A Boon to North Dakota We believe that the existence of our Fargo plant is a boon to North Dakota in more ways than one. Not only does it provide a ready cash market for live- stock, but it contributes vitally to the general prosperity of this section. The Armour plant at Fargo has undoubtedly been a factor in changing North Dakota from a 100% wheat country into a lan of diversified farming and commercial ARMOUR ity.
