A 64,OOO-pound cable for the San
Diego street car system passed through
the city last evening on the Southern
Pacific. 1t was made at Cincinnati and
shipped here by rail from New Orleans.
A recent number of the Cotton Chron-
icle says "wednesday afternoon the
street car brought party Of five sur
veyors from the Santa Fe depot at San
Bernardino to the Southern Pacific depot
in this city. The party are in the en-
ploy of the Union Pacific Railroad Com

from Salt Lake City to Bear valley and
now go to Banning, whence they
will run "a line north to intercept the
one already surveyed. 1t is not yet de-
termined just how the line will enter
this valley, but it will probably run east
of Bear valley through the Morongo
country, thence to Banning and Col

Catarrh is often regarded by the patient as
cold in the head and he often expresses his
astonishment at his remarkable tendency. to
contract fresh cold. Indeed he declares that
he is scarcely free from one cold before he
takes another and he is always exceedingly
careful; 1t IS also matter of surprise to him
head and throat
At times many of the symptoms of catarrh
seem to abate, and the patienti is led to hope
that the disease is about to wear off; but an
other class of symptoms soon appear and he
learns to his horror, that instead of recovery
from the disease, 1t is somewhat changed in its
character and has extended to the throat.
A sense OF WEAKNESS is sometimes felt in
reading, speaking or. singing; hoarseness at
times occurs, a sensation of dryness is felt in
the throat, or it appears that some foreign
substance, as, for instance, hair, obstructed
the throat; there becomes sense of languOr
and fatigue the breath lessons on a little
exertion, short, hacking cough, peculiar
sound in clearing the throat, feeling as
though there was not room enough in the
chest to Breathe these and other symptoms
occur after the disease has made considerable
progress Then 1t is a time when. consumption
to this time. the press of the disease may
have been slow and the patient may, in
expressing his confident hope that it will
swear off, declare that he has had the catarrh
| for years and has not seemed to become much
worse, and trusts that he will "by and by"
recover. But this delusion is the grand error
| which has peopled our cemeteries with con-
sumptiye forms, as all forms of catarrh end
| finally in consumption.

NOT A PROHIBITIONIsT

Congressman Lehlbach, Of New Jersey,
in making his speech on the substitute
for the Wilson bill in the house, rendered
the following suggestion, which brought
down the house. It is said that he had
Topeka in mind:
Let the representatives on the floor of
this house who come from prohibition
districts write to their constituents and
tell them that they have it within their
own power under the law to effectively
close every Original package" store in
their state. The remedy is simple and
effective; in fact, so simple and effective
that | wonder it has not been thought of
before, The best way to get rid of their
original package" stores is not to pat
ronize them. Do that, if the sentiment
of the community is against it, and it
will not be a week before the shutters
will be put up and the front doors closed.

A Splendid Wheat Crop.

From the Kansas City Globe.
Il never saw better wheat crops Cen
trail Kansas in my life than this year. :"
said Mr.. w. c. Price. commercial agent
for the George associated traffic line, to
a Globe reporter yesterday. Mr.. Price
had Just returned from an extended tour
of the Arkansas valley and had been a
close observer. The wheat yield is the
heaviest known in the Arkansas valley
and there was large acreage. The sea-
son was very prOpitious and never saw
a firmer quality of grain before. There
are certainly no kicks coming from the
farmers of that portion of the state. The
corn crop is looking splendid. was at
Newton yesterday and it rained hard for
several hours. 1t was a soaking rain and
was general throughout central and east
ern Kansas. If another rain like that
one falls within the next two weeks
the corn crop will be about as big as
that of last year. All kinds Of grain and
fruit look well and there is no danger of
short rations in the SunfOwer state.

HOT WINDS.
An Opinion Concerning Their Origin

! To the Editor of the Eagle.
The term hot winds is a provincialism
peculiar to the semi-arid regions of the
North American continent. The eastern
boundary of the region in which the at
mOspheric phenomenon occurs Is the
Powell meridian, which marks the east
ern boundary of the twenty-inch annual
irregular line, extending from north to
south in the vicinity of the Tooth merid-
ian. Hot winds differ from the simoOns
common to the arid regions of Asia and
Africa, and from the Puma winds of the
South American plateaus in this: Hot
winds can not be accounted for by auy
physical CONFORMATION of the surface of
the region in which they occur, nor of the
adjacent territory. They are dependent
purely on local and temporary causes.
| This fact is fully demonstrated by inves-
LEGATIONS made last year and being con-
Quoted this summer under the direction
of Sergeant 7. B. Jennings, assistant di-
rector of the Kansas weather bureau at
Topeka. The problem of the real or mi
tiatory cause of the phenomenon yet re-
mains for solution,
The opinion | offer is based almost
wholly on personal observation, but be-
lieve that future research and expert
ment will tend rather to confirm than
to deny it.
Hot winds occur almost universally
and are by far the most disastrous on
elevated "buffalo prairies" where the
soil contains a large amount of gypsum,
mineral widely distributed over the
semi-arid regions of the United States.
This mineral consists of 81. So parts lime,
46. IL parts sulphuric acid and 2O,93 parts
water.
have frequently observed that field
crops planted on sod blowing are first to
succumb to hot winds, and that where
the soil has been cultivated deeply for a
number of years the gypsum in the soil
becomes thoroughly disentegrated and
crops withstand the drouth for much
longer period.
Simple experiments of exposing I'M
crystaliZed gypsum to the atmosphere
will show that the disentegration is much
more rapid than is generally believed
and that a chemical action takes place to
all appearances the same as that which
occurs in lime when being air Stacked.
| am therefore of the opinion that the
loosening and dispersion Of the sulphuric
acid in the gypsum during the process of
disentegration is the real cause of the
peculiar blighting effect of the hot winds
and that during a period of deficient
rainfall and protected drouth the mois-
ture in the atmosphere is insufficient to
counterfeit this influence. and that the high
temperature tends to agument It's des-
tructive qualities.
A careful analysis of the soil and
numerous experiments in the stacking OF
gypsum viii be necessary 10 a full
demonstration of this theory. which !
have recently submitted TO the chemists
fthe State Agricultural college and the
State University. | hope IN the near
future TO secure the results OF their ex-
perments.
The determination of the real cause of
this phenomenon will be a long step in the
solution of one of the most important
economic problems in the future de-
velopment of Western Kansas.
