The peculiar weather, fall in
the midst of winter cuts
short the sale of warmer
clothing of every sort. No
matter how cold the end of
December and January and
February and March may
be, the fact is fixed already
by the warm beginning that
thousands of people will bear
the cold with less precaution,
because it comes SO slowly.
We are hardened to the win
-er by long expecting winter,
nd by its slow approach.
We therefore change the
condition of trade by making
prices SO low as to attract
unwilling buyers. The
change is gradual, very grad
nal. Indeed the change is
less, because we made low
,rices months ago; lower
han ought to be made in
prosperous times; lower than
N be made in any but
lamitous times.
There is every reason to
,ejieve that wholesale prices
ave got to the bottom. Raw
materials of several sorts
rave begun to be firm;
md some have begun to rise,
The prices Of nothing in trade
have risen. Prices are there
ore at the very bottom. The
)nly further downward move
nents are reasonably sure to
be exceptional. Chances are
overwhelmingly the other
way on everything.
On the other hand the
Irobable behavior of retail

Roaring Rivers In the Air.

SJn Sunday afternoon one of those
curious phenomena Of nature occurred
about thirty miles southwest of Tucson,
and from the description given by eye
witnesses il was the largest cloudburst
Judge K. ID. Ferguson the following ac-
count was gathered: On Sunday he was
returning from a trip to the southern
part of the county. At ten o'clock he
hut up at Browns Station to await din
ner and avoid the heat of the day. The
sky all day was cloudless, except 3
thunderstorm that was observed trav-
cling the SUBMITS of the Santa Caia-
linas and disappearing over the Rincons
in the northeast. Otherwise not a cloud
or vapor of any kind was to be seen.
The sun was shining in oil his vigor,
and ms he passed to the west his strength
and glory seemed undiminished
AT three o'clock Judge Ferguson re-
sumed his Journey toward Tucson. He
had come about five miles when his at
tehlion was attracted by roaring and
cracking toward the west, and looking
up, he saw ar.vcr of water as big rs the
Sau,a Cruz when it runs through War
tner mill tail race and coming toward
him. Telling his driver to halt, they
stopped on top of little knoll and
watched the waters as they violently
plowed the desert, blowing mp stones
and brush. They had evidently spent
their force. After the flood had passed
by the face of the country was disfig-
ured. and large gutter had been cut
across the valley The current came
clown off n small range of low, rolling
hills to The west. Although the Judge
and his companion strained their eyes
in the direction from which the water
came, not cloud was to be seen.
After the water had subsidized sufficiently
TO let them pass sv went on. They
had hardly gone on nalf mile when,
to their utter astonishnIent, there was
'.,nother stream equally rs large as the
first one. Again they peered toward
the west, as If in hopes to find some in
ditation Of its source. Passing on,
their establishment was doubled to find
another stream, and in this manner
five successive raging currents were
crossed
But all their reserve was called forth
WREN four miles from where they
stfark The first stream they discovered
IA sixth one as large as all the Others
combined. Its angry waters were
waving and kissing as ii maddened at
the resistance they met On the way from
the hills down to the desert. This river
was unfordable and to cross it was i'm
possible, so they halted on knoll and
watched it for two or three hours as il
boiled and sized and cut bed for
itself, IN sJrne places as deep as fifteen
feet and over two hundred yards wide
II WAS not until after shutdown that
they dared to attempt u crossing. -

the continued personality of our be-

TO love those whom we have known
