BCNA-FIDE CIRCULATION.

BCNA-FIDE CIRCULATION.
A reference to the state
ment below will show that
the circulation sworn to is a
bona fide one.
1t is easily possible for
newspaper with an elastic
conscience to swell its legit-
innate circulation enor-
mously, in order to deceive E.
advertisers. by sending out
thousands of papers to
news stands, which are re-
turnabie, and which are in
fact returned, but nevertlle-
less are included in what
purports to be an honest
statement of circulation.
Intelligent advertisers,
however. judge by results,
and bogus circulation don't
give them.
The family circulation Of
The Times is many thou
sands in excess of any other
Washington paper and is
believed to be fully two
times that of its afternoon
contemporary,
The circulation Of The Times for the
week ended July ), 1896, was as fol-
lows:

IsOlemnly swear that the above Is a
correct statement CT the circulation of
The Washington Times for the week

consideration.

Another thought in connection
with our unwelcome shortage OF
water is this: Are not some of the
older bitches having much more
water than they need? By law
they are entitled to it, but might
they not in a spirit Of helpfulness
to brother farmers and waive their
rights for a portion of each week
that thirsty and suffering fields
might be revived by the use OF
water they do not need.

River Flow of the Irrigation
Streams, 1895.

The Cache n la Poudre river is n
stream typical Of those of the cas-
tern slope OF the Rocky mountains
and is one of which there is the
longest and most continuous rec
ord. A self-recording instrument
was placed on the stream in 1884
The years Of high water in one
stream are usually the same with
others, as the meteorological CON
ditions causing heavy or light
snow fall over the mountain water
sheds are usually the same. So
closely Mike are the conditions of
melting, that frequently the high
est stage of water will be reached
by q number Of streams on tho
same day.
Up to the present date, June II.
the Cache ia Pondre has been
unusually low, which the reports
OF light snowfall gave reason to
expect. So far the year compares
with 1883 and 1889 which were un.
usually low. The highest water.
e"N " Lhclt'nB BLOW, was reached
on May 26, when there was 1900
cubic feet per second at tho time
OF highest water of the day. On
May 30 and 81 the river was high
er, reaching 3,340 second feet for
short time, due to heavy rain.
Since then the river has fallen
STEADILY. and the daily fuctuatiou
due to the melting by day and the
freezing by night in the upper ele-
vations, is becoming less notice
able. For the week ending June
y the average was 1878 cubic feet
per second while tho average of
the seven previous years was 2272
second feet, showing decrease of
200 cubic feet per second. For
the week ending june 0, the aver
age has been 1850 second feet.
which is 800 feet less than the nv.
erage for eleven years.
