AN IMMENSE WHEAT YIELD.

Judge Joe Arnold returned to the city
yesterday after travelling sixty-fve miles
through the country which gave him
splendid opportunity to see the crops.
When asked how he found the crops he
said: 'There is no man now living and
no man ever lived who saw finer wheat
crop in this or any other country or cline
than that which has been produced in this
valley this year. It is an absolute fact
that the shocks are so thick and so large
that they do not look like shocks at all. 1t
astonished me although / have lived over
twenty years in this valley and have seen
me big wheat crops The cat crop Is
,,nally as good and if nothing happen ms the
corn crop will be simply wonderful. 1t is
impossible to exaggerate the condition of
the crops this year and almost impossible
to describe them"

The Sunday afternoon came at last.
The church was crowded, and the exer-

bravely up the aisle, and with the help
of his hand mounted the steps and
stood on the platform facing the people.
''Oh, what a lot of folks all looking at

In fact, like many an older person IN

PRETTY HOT YESTERDAY.

Yesterday seemed to be pretty hot, and
was hot, but it did not reach within four
degrees of being as hot as the previous day.
Nne-tenths of the community will hardly
believe this, but DIR. Johnson of the signal
office says so, and he knows. Tuesday at
2 o'clock the mercury stood at 81, while it
reached only 90 yesterday. Nevertheless
people went around town tanning them
selves, blowing in their hard earned
nickles against the milk shake combina-
ton and swearing that it was the hottest
day of the year. In the evening it turned
cooler, and people enjoyed it SO much that
the streets were crowded till long after 10
