be no warm weather this year"
:" GU said a few minutes ago thatin 1916
there was no warm weather until Decem-
Der; what do you mean by that"
why, the weather was warmer in De-
cember than it had been all summer
" Did you have any snow during the
summer p"
"No, it did not snow, but there was a
good deal of ice during July and August.
There was a great deal of snow in the
mountains"
:, Was it cold all over the State?"
Yes every place Even down in the
southern part of the State they had cold
weather.
do you think this will be a cold sum
mer?"
Il don't know; but it has been very
much like the season of 1916, as near as |
can remember"
1t will be remembered that in the year
1916 the summer season, all over the
United States was much colder than had
ever been witnessed before There are a
few living now who remember it. 1t was
so cold in many of the States that farmers
could not plant corn until late in the
season. and the crop was a failure There
is no doubt that this is an off year, but
what the damage will be no one can tell at
present.
BARwIcK's REPoRT.-The barometer was
quite low yesterday along the entire Pacific
Slope, with threatening or cloudy weather
at noon most everywhere, and light rain
! falling at Sacramento. About P NJ yes
terday the rain began falling, but in inf
Intestinal doses that were inappreciable to
the rain-gauge, until about P. NJ. when it
| began raining in earnest, and on consult

| 10 of an inch, making % of an inch for
the month, which is more than four times
rs much ~ had fallen during the
month of May. The following is the
| rainfall for each June since 1880 that
| produced an appreciate amount:
| June, 1854, 81 of an inch 1875, OF; 1856,
! .03: 1857. 30; 1855 10 1860, %; 1861, IA;
1862, OF; 1864. 90; 1866, 10; 1869, OF; 1872
| .02; 1875, 10; 1877, OF; 1879, Is; 1881, 80
1882 10; 1854, for June to date, Is of an
inch. The barometer at s P. NJ. last night
was low and falling from Tatoosh Island to
San Diego, with Il foul weather sunset re
port from the same places. The wind was
| southery from Portland to San Francisco
and west south Of the latter place. Me
| teOrologically speaking there is Il finer pros
peCt for a good rain storm now than there
has been for months past. The rainfall for
the California signal stations since this
stormy weather began last Saturday Is, for
Red Bluff, II of an inch; Sacramento, Is
of an inch; San Francisco, "a Of an inch;
Los Angeles, 10 of an inch; nothing at
San Diego. 1t is to be hoped that much of
precipitation Will not take place. Last
June this State was cursed with from five
to ten days of whitening north winds. This
season is minus the north winds, but full
of prospects for good though unneeded
rain.
MANDAMUs-This morning Sheriff Estill
will serve upon the Board of City Trustees
writ of mandamuS from the Supreme
Court, issued in the city bond case Of
Never VS. Brown. in which Judgment was
rendered by that Court for plaintiff June
18th The document directs the Trustees,
Immediately upon service of writ, and
each year hereafter at the proper time for
levying and collecting taxes, to levy and
collect for municipal purposes on all real
and personal property within the city
limits, except such as is exempt by law, Il
tax of one hundred cents on the one hun
dred dollars, and that tifty-five per cent. of
the revenue thus derived within the city
limits for municipal purposes be set apart
and appropriated to an interest and sinking
fund, to be applied to the annual interest
and final redemption of the bonds issued
IOl IIt CIV llltlcbltdlIltSS- III accordance
with the Act of the Legislature of the
State adopted April "a, 1888" As the city
taxes for this year have been levied and
collected, it will doubtless be urged that
this order of Court Will not have effect IN
til next wears taxes are to be levied. If a
tax of 100 cents on each 800 should be
levied again this year, it would puzzle the
Trustees To decide what to do with the 10
per cent. remaining after the % per cent. |
for bond purposes had been deducted.
PREsBYTERINN SocIAL.-A social was held
in Westminster Presbyterian Church last |
evening, and was well attended, even
though Jupiter Pluyius did send down co.
Plus showers just at the time for assem- !
bling. The basement of the church. where |
the social took place was beautifully deco |
rated with flowers and evergrcens. The |
programme of literary exercises was rs fol- |
lows Duet, Miss Lille Crowell and Miss |
Lulu Wilson; recitation, The Veterans |
Appeal" Master Franklin WEIGH; solo, |
Miss Fannie Campbell recitation. parody |
on " The Old Oaken Bucket" Miss Katie |
McCraw This was delivered with rare |
dramatic effect for one SO young, and was |
enthusiastically applauded. Solo Mrs |
Aurebach recitation, Miss Maud Davis |
instrumental solo, Miss Lizzie Griffin-en- |
cored reading, Mrs. Williams; solo. Miss |
Minnie Payne; recitation, Mrs. Risdon |
After the excellent programme was fin |
ishcd, ice cream and cake was passed |
around and all enjoyed q social picnic until |
10 o'clock.
METHODIST SoCIAL.-The young ladies of |
the Sixth-strcet Methodist Church gave a
social last evening. The first floor. or Sab |
bath schOol-room, was used, and was ar
ranged and specially decorated for the occa-
sion. The heavy rain which prevailed |
during the early part of the evening Kept
many away who had purpoScd going. The
literary feast usually given by the young
ladies Of this church is fully equal to the
abundant ice-Crcam -and-cake feast that al
ways follows Last evening was no eXcep
ton To the rule, and those who attended
were well repaid by hearing the cantata
AT Mercy Seat, which was well rem
dered by the following persons Mrs.
Marsh and the Misses Clark, Jones, Nor
rell, Williams, Woods. Drew, Bell, Reeves,
Taylor Warehouse and BcSsv. with Miss
Mamie Barrett as accompanies. Frank |
Palmer gave some very choice selections
on several different instruments
WILL RE \ Success. The work OF clay |
ing the track at Agricultural Park is pro
crossing so rapidly that it is believed that |
the contract will be completed about the |
middle OF next week. Over one-fourth of
the work has been done Men experienced |
in track matters speak very highly of the |
material being used, and urge that the |
Board of Directors of the State Agricult- |
ural Society could not do better than to
have the track clayed its entire width, in
stead of for width Of y feet. 1t is gem
orally conceded that when the work is
done the course will be as fast as any
known. As one gentleman remarked it
will "be as speedy as a bullet.
