DENVER, COLORADO.
For Week Ending last Monday.
The rainfall has been generally
less than the normal and uneven
ly distributed. Somewhat more
than the usual amount was repor-
ted from the northern counties
and portions of the eastern and
south-central sections. In the
vicinity Of Lamar the rainfall was
heavy, the total for the week
beng 3.6S inches, while over the
upper portion of the Arkansas
valley it averaged about half
inch. Reports from San LUIS Park
and the western slope indicate
that the showers have been light.
The weather during the past
week has been favorable to grow
ing crops and, Ill most sections for
harvesting. In the north central
section the harvest for wheat Is
practically completed; the crop is
excellent; but III localities late
wheat has been damaged by rust;
oats have been secured in good
condition; potatoes look well. Re-
cent rains have greatly improved
the prospects on the uplands of
the eastern counties, and an eX-
cellent yield of corn is now al
most certain; heavy crop of
millet is being cut in Cheyenne
county. In The Arkansas valley
watermelons are ripening rapidly,
but canteloupes III the vicinity Of
Rocky Ford are maturing slowly
the quality, however, is excellent;
plums are ripe and grapes rlpen-
ing; the third cutting OF alfalfa is
under way in Bent comfy; this
crop is superior to the second.
The wheat crop in San Luis Park
will be very heavy. Some fields
hlve been cut, but the harvest

flung himself upon Taylor and choked
him until II policeman pulled him away

on the track were abe 1t to make it hot
for Becker when the police hustled him
