A HIGH AND DRY STATION.
The Work of the United States
Weather Observer at Keller.

Herbert +. Wilkinson. who has been the
United States Weather Observer at Keller
for the past three years, has been visiting
the San Francisco weather Offices in the
Mills building during the past few days.
Mr.. Wilkinson has just been relieved from
duty at Keller by Presley T. Jenkins,
and is awaiting assignment to a new
station.
"Keeler is high, dry place." said Mr..
Wilkinson yesterday. Its altitude is
5000 feet above the level of the sea and the
average seasonalE rainfall is only about
four inches. The rain usually comes in
slight showers during the winter. so that
there is never any properly termed wet
season. Owing to its highness and dry
ness Keller posses SEES remarkable curative
properties for those afflicted with rheuma-
tsm.
mo prediction is made at Keller, the
duties Of the observer being confined to
taking two observations daily and telp-
graphing his data to the San Francisco of.
flee. The first observation is taken at 5
A. NJ, and the results must be at the tele-
graph Office at :15 and be received by the
operator in the Mills building within a
reasonable time thereafter. The same
promptness is required at the afternoon
observation, which is also taken at D. The
observer is obliged TO take care Of the
barometer; the Paragraph, for recording
the atmospheric pressure; the thermo-
graph, for the maximum and minimum
temperatures; the raln-gauge and the
thermometer, for ascertaining the direction
and velocity of the wind. Data from all
these instruments gives the observer his
record from which he complies his reports.
lowing to the altitude and the small
rainfall there is no vegetation at Keller,
and the only verdure in sight is in the
neighb0ring canyons. The settlement has
population OF sixty, and contains sixtee u
buildings. four of which are barns. The
only adjoining villages of any size are

Dennagogy and Finance.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
President Cleveland is reported as writ
ing to w. J. Northen, Governor of Georgia,
under date Sept. 25. 1893, in which he says:
II want our financial conditions and the
laws relating to our currency so safe and
reassuring that those who have money
will spend and invest it in business and
new enterprises instead of boarding it."
AS if our moneys and the laws relating
thereto were unsafe and unstable. and
hence the cause of people boarding their
money. The Apostle Paul says: Though
we speak with tongues, If we have not
charity we are as a tinkling cymbal." In
modern phrase, such musical demagogy
makes people Of logical minds tired. 1t is
my observation and experience that when
are considered unsafe and likely to greatly
depreciate in value purchasing power,
they are not apt to hoard them, but spend
or invest as soon as possible. Is the Presi-
dent so simple minded as TO believe that
those people who have been boarding their
money do so, or have been doing so, from

twaddle of demagogues of the basest sort.
All our business people, at least, know
that our present currency is equally good

INCREASE in FREIGHT
Railroads Once More Pushed for
Locomotives to Do the Work.
The Improvement, However, Does Not
Yet Extend to East-Bound Bust
ness to Any Extent.

The train records show that in the week
ending Oct q there were 766 more loaded
cars received and forwarded than in the
week ending the 18th of this month, 1,145
more than in the week ending Oct. Z, and
2.264 more than in the week ending Sept.
80. In which week the minimum number
OF the depressed times was handled at In
dlanapolis. What is better, had the Big
Four and Panhandle lines more engines,
the exhibit would have been even more
gratifying. Among freight men there is a
belief that while there will be no phenom-
email boom in freight traffic, as in the fall
of 1892, there will be a healthy volume of
traffic, and one which will require all the
power and cars which can be readily COM
manded. With most roads power and cars
are in good repair. Probably the Pennsyl-
vania lines have been using fewer foreign
cars than other roads, but now the Big
Four, the Lake Erie & Western, the Gin
cinnati. Hamilton & Dayton. the Monon
and the Vandalia are In condition, as re-
CARDS rolling stock, to profit in this man
ner. In east-bound business but little i'm
provement is yet shown. By way of New
port News there is more export business,
and shipments of live stock to Eastern
markets are heavier. In west-bound bust

named articles being far behind that of
the fall of 1892. With the north-and-south
roads there is practically no through BUSH

traffic for earnings Fortunately, there is
some Improvement shown in local business.

love each other henceforth for better or

merchant left his Broadway store, the
speculator came from his Wall-street Of

the man about town forsook his club, and
professional people came In hundreds to

expectations of many New Workers and the
Chicago men who helped to make the ar
rangements, but the multitudes seen where
ever the attractions happened TO be were
large enough to make all the Manhattan
visitors happy.
The browning event in the celebration
took place in Festival Hall. There were
orators and prominent citizens from all
walks of life. The speakers praised and
cajoled and bantered Chicago by turns
and the New York people who composed

provoking addresses, exactly suited 10 the
occasion and the character of the audi
ence.
The parade part of the celebration, which
preceded the exercises in the hall. was car
ried out successfully, attracting a great
multitude to the terminal plaza and the
avenue on which the New York State build

after came the First Regiment National
