SERIOUS EFFECTS IN BACK COUNTRY.
(Per Press Association.)
CHRISTCHURCH, Sept. 22
A good deal of snow fell yesterday and last night in the back countryThe fall at Lake Coleridge was about twelve inches.
From Ashburton the report is that snow in the back country is having a serious effect on stock. Big losses are inevitable as the lambing season is at its height, and it is still snowing. Prospects are decidedly bad.
The Lake Coleridge electric power failed late last night, both lines going and leaving the city in darkness down one line. Power was restored this morning.
