word "high" means high barometric pressure and

and accompanied by cloudy weather and rains
"Lows" usually first appear on the Washington
coast. When the pressure is high IN the interior
and low along the coast, and the fsobArs extend
north and south along the coast, rain is probable; ;
but when the "lOw' is inclosed with isobars Of
marked curvature, rain south of Oregon is improb-
able. With ''higb" in the vicinity OF Idaho, and
the pressure falling to the California coast, warmer
weather may be expected in summer and colder

COMMERCIAL CLUB.
Time to Talk About 1t With
Other Projects.
ROCK ISLAND IN NEED OF IT.

Much to be Done the Coming Year II
Which Such an Organization Would b.
of Immense Benefit to the City and Its
Advancement.
1t is again time to talk about q
commercial club in Rock Island.
Now that the election is over and
business seems to be settling down
to it's normal condition, a business
mems association combining the So
cial feature, which has heretofore
been proposed and urged. is emf
nently to be desired in Rock Island.
Not since the days Of the old I'm
provement association has this city
felt the need of the cooperative in
fuence of body of representative
men, as it has the past year. With a
mayor Numerically opposed to all
forms of public Improvement, the
council no matter how well disposed
to further the we'll settled policy of
the city to advance, has been seri.
ously handicapped. 1t has been like
unto modern ship without a rud-
der. The propelling power may be
there, but the steering apparatus is
useless.
A Great Deal to he Done.
There is great deal to be done
in the year that is coming for Rock
Island. The city has not gone back
ward the past year. despite the OBJ.
stinent retrogressive inclination
of the municipal executive.
The building OF the new
court house and the postoffice
building, together with a couple of
handsome churches, and the rebuild
ing OF the Rock Island bridge have
all added 10 an inestimable de-
gree to the solid, substantial
local Improvements. But we must
keep moving. There is more to be
done. Each season must have its
plans laid out and executed. 1t is
either 90 ahead or fall back in this
advancing age. First of all there is
the levee. That must be accom-
plished next year. Then there is the
much talked of park and boulevard
system. which should not be longer
neglected. The plan of a fair and
race track, too, is worthy Of consid-
GRAFTON.
So that altogether a commercial
and social club is the need of the
hour in Rock Island. Who will i'm
mortalize himself by starting il.
