The board dis- cussed in generalities the terminal elevator business and th_e laws and regulations. in the various states under which .they operate, lgut no specific “methods of operation” were devised for North Dakota’s propos- ed elevator, as the 1913 legislature had instructed. The board merely told the legislature it had “on file” copies of laws and rules governing elevators, which the legislature could see if it wanted to. The board’s report consisted of 26 pages of printed matter. The first two pages - were _instruction. The next seven pages purported to be fol- Jowing the instructions the board had, but tfiey dealt in generalities and: did not furnish the speci demanded by the legislature.

C., Feb. 12.—Last bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance to cross continent Feb. 14 to 18, warm wave Feb. 13 to 17, cool wave Feb. 16 to 20. This will be the lamb with ~the lion following, the summer before the winter. Rather warm and quiet till Feb. 16, when the storms will break in the middle west and then for several days sternuous weather may be expected. esees We got the predicted great storms for January, but their forces were ex- pended in the three-fourths of the continent lying west of meridian 90. The evaporation district was located In the far west and it held the cold waves and other "severe storms in western cections. . But a change is due. The great storms, rains,snows, floods will - gradually - shift to more eastern latitudes and from about the middle of February onward the east- ern sections that feel slighted in not getting their share of the great Janu- ary storms will change-their tune. About Feb. 12 qne. of our storms will be a little east of meridian 90 and that storm is expected to inaugurate the change of great storms from the Rockies and Pacific slope to the cen- tral valleys and eastern sections. By that change the Panama canal and Pacific -slope will be relieved from excessive rains and sévere storms. Next disturbance will reach Pacific coast about Feb. 20, cross Pacific slope %7 ‘close of Feb. .21, central valleys eb. 22 to 24, eastern sections Feb, 26. Warm wave will cross "Pacific slo about Feb. 20, central valleys Feb 22, eastern sections Feh. 24. Cool wave will cross Pacific slope about Feb. 23, central valle;s Feb. 25, eastern sec- tions Feb. 27, ey Unusually severe storms are expect- ed with this disturbance.” Of course these bad winter storms’will not cov- . er all 'the continent but we expect them to include large sections that lie east of the Rockies.
