said Copsul-Geperal Lee was on his
way home from Cuba in pursuance to a
leave of absence granted him until Oc-

Mr.. Day said he did not expect the

fore September Is. Day says he has
no doubt but that Ohio will give a
splendid republican majority this fall.
He said the farmers had excellent
crops this year and have realized good
prices and that they therefore felt
very friendly toward the republican
party. Tney are convinced that hard
times are rapidly disappearing.

The following IS the weekly bulletin i of the arizona section of the climate and crop service of the weather bureau for the week ending August A, 1897:
 During the past seven days the weather wss generally characterized by high temperatures. although in some.sections the thermometer very nearly coincided with the normal.
 The rainfall consisted of scattered and une- qually distributed showers, generally light or none at all in some sections, but quite heavy in a few localities, especially in southern and cen tral Yavapai county and the upper Gila valley
 Thunderstorms, generally accompanied by rain and high winds and in some instances by hail, have been especially frequent over wide area along the Gila valley and extending from the western to the eastern confines of the terri tory In Graham, eastern Pinal, and central and southern Yavapai counties the storms were of sufficient energy in some localities to cut down beans and potato vines and injure garden truck, spoil some hay, and damage canals and ditches In YumI county the high winds did some damage It is believed, however, that the accompanying rain will prove beneficial and l counter-balance the immediate damageto crops. In Maricopa county there has been an increase of water iu the Salt river for rrigating purposes and the Bdckeye canal, Wnlcn nad been iuIl or water, is now dry, owing to the breaking of the dam
 While the week has been generally favorable for alfalfa, in few localities cut hay has been injured by thunder storms. Worms have made their appearance in some localities in Apache county and are injuring corn and garden truck.
 The condition of the ranges varies, but is gen. erally good In the river bottoms of Yuma county, where the rainfall is always light, the
 range is comparatively good, and on the higher
 levels where less than the average amount had fallen, some showers have improved the condi- | tiOn.
