THE COLD SPELL OF 1888
Lieutenant Finley Explains His Recent
Remarks Thereon.

ANShiShA 4hOEtOns
Lieutenant John P. Finley, Chief of the
Pacific Division of the Government
Weather Bureau, in a letter to the REC
ORD UNION, says:
EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: Your issue of the
18th instant contained a short statement
from ). III. Gerrish concerning one of my
meteorological lectures in San Fran
cisco, in which temperature records are
given as to the cold wave of January, 1888.
was Incorrectly reported as to the low
temperature at Marysville. 1t was l2o
below freezing, instead of below zero.
The report as TO the temperature at
Truckee is correct, viz: 25o below zero.
At Summit it was l20 below zero.
As to the thickness Of ice at Sacramento.
l stated in my lecture that it was reported
as being between one and two inches.
These records were taken from the AN
nual Meteorological Review" of the State
of California for the year 1883, published
by the State Agricultural Society at Sac
ramento, pages 81 to A, inclusive. On
page 40 the following statement is made:
Boys were skating yesterday january
10, 1883 back of the roundhouse at Sac
ramento."
Other remarkable statements are made
concerning the intense cold which pre-
vailed at Sacramento and vicinity from
January IA to IS, 1855. The high baromet-
ric pressure, which covered the entire
country west of the Mississippi Valley.
was one of the most remarkable disturb
ances ever recorded by the Weather Bu-
reau. On January 18th the central area
Of highest pressure covered Idaho, with
the barometer reading thirty-one inches
and above, or nearly one inch above the
normal. At Fort Bidwell, Cal, the tenn
perature fell to 269 below zero on the
morning of January l4th. In Southern
Oregon the temperatures fell to from g. to
l5o below zero. AT Spokane Falls.
WASH, it was 300 below zero, and at Salt
Lake City 17' below zero.

Illinois PoIitical singed Cat


| Shelby NJ. Cullom has Withdrawn as s
candidate for the republican presidentia
| nomination. Joseph Fifer remains q
candidate for the republican gubernasor-
ial nomination in Illinois. His nomins-
tiOn is practically already made. The
same forces which have put Cullom out
of the race will put Fifer at the head OF
the state ticket.
There is food for thought in this si.us-
ton. When the private was nominated
and elected in 1888 he was believed to be
the creature Of Culom and Tanner. This
| belief survived through most of his ad-
ministration, and the governor never took
occasion or opportunity to deny it. He
was evidently willing to be considered
the protege of the senator and the boss
until he saw that the senator and the boss,
in their disp spensstion of federsl patronage.
had aroused q strong and well organized
opposition both 10 themselves and to him
as their supposed personal friend and Of
tiCisl machine. Tnen he resolved TO de-
care his independence.
He did t in decided and dramatic
way. Displscing Jack Tanner on the
railroad and warehouse commission with
Jonsthan Willis, the personal and pOlit-
icsl friend of Earrison's pension commits
sioner and Cullom's active opponent, was
notice enough of his plans and purposes.
The Republic az once declared that the
Illinois governor had eff scted a combina-
ton with the president as against Cul =
ION, and that the only thing he had to
fear in his party was a Blaine candidacy.
II stood alone in the expression of this
opinion. The great majority of Illinois
newspapers could not rid themselves of
the old superstition that Fifer was work.
ing Cullon's will and that the rupture
with Tanner and the appointment of a
Harrison man in his stead was piece of
clever stage play. The element of change,
ever present and frequently potent in
politics as it is, was overlooked, and
Fifer was still considered the vassal of
the two men popularity supposed TO be his
peers in political me nsgement.
1t is now clear that FiIer is easily the
best politician of his party in the west
Like the singed cat of song and story he
is better lighter than he looks With
two compactlY organized official ma
chimes at his command he has forced his
pominGtion upon a reluctant party. 1t is
possible, yes probable, that he would
have avoided any antsgonism Of the Gull
lom moven ent il he could, and he has
aimed to conceal his hand in the work of
defeating its object. but the monotonous
history of the county conventions in the
state. through all of which the refrain of
Harrison and Fifer runs, puts such feat
Of legerden ain ont of the question. Yet
still Mr.. Cullom's voice is for harmony.
Senator Cullom rese embles Lincoln in
appearance. Governor Fifer resembles
him in polite methods. 1t is entirely
safe to say that the senator would like to
trade with The governor.

n.tter Roa d. In Il,inois.

The road convention held in Spring
field Tues day shows that the people OF
Illinois are awakening to the fact that
bad roads are not profitable investments
The psper read by Mr. Prime, of Dwight,
should be printed and distributed to
farmers al over the state. because it deals
more particularly with the financial as
pect of the question of good roads. Mr.
Prime shows that this state has practically
thrown away about $4,000. 600 in
bonuses to railways, and yet Illinois has
less than 5000 miles of psssable farm
roads. In regard to the present road law
Mr.. Prime says:
I'VE have law under which 81, 700, ,000
is annually dumped into the capacious
nav Of our rich, fertile, fructifsing mud.
1t is law which costs nearly ene-half as
much TO enforce as the original sum ap-
propriated. And still there are not g.
600 miles of permanent roads in the state
outside Of what few miles have been
built by cities. Multiply this So. 500, 000
by the nu nber of years the agricultural
business and professional interests of the
state have endured this law, and you will
agree with me that during the past Is
years the taxpayers of the state have been
robbed of money enough TO build them a
first class stone, gravel or macadam road
east and vest, north and south, through
every township in the state"
