SNOW TURNED INTO ICE.
Moisture Packed Away in Mount
aims for Future Use.


Reports regarding the amount
of snow that disappeared during
May and the amount unmelted at
the close of the month have been
received from seventy-hve points
on the upper drainage areas of the
principal streams. In this region,
as on the plains and in the park,
high winds, cold nights and dry
weather prevailed d-conditions both
favorable and unfavorable, depend
ing on locality and interests. Over
the central and northern mountain
districts they were favorable, and
prevented freshets which the STU
pendous amount of snow would
have caused had May brought high
temperatures and normal rainfall.
On the other hand, in southern
districts, where the winters snow
fall was small, meltingdid not take
place fast enough to supply an adj
equate amount of water for irriga-
ton. The bulk of the snow disap-
peared, however, through the in
strumentality of high winds, the
evaporating power of which was
materially increased by exception
ally low humidity, and that VIII ich
remains is generally loose and like
ly to disappear rapidly. In the
central and northern districts.
which EN- mbrace the South Platte,

taries of the Gunnison and Ar

ton is one and one. half to four

The story of the manipulation
of parliament by the Standard Oil
trust shows that in free-trade
England such combines exert as
great an influence as they do in
the United States; therefore it is
absurd to assume, as some persons
foolishly do, that protection is res
ponsible for their development, or
that they would be rendered less
powerful if the protective tariff
were stricken down.-San Fran
cisco " Chronical."

The COAL CARRYING TRADE.
More Schoon.rs May Be Buiit-Others Pre-
dict Coal Barges.

The small sailing vessels are going
out of existence, and none are being
constructed to take their places" re-
marked a business man. Monday,
then what will be used in the coal
carrying trade
This is a question upon which some
have pondered in the past year or
more. The storms of the last few
years have greatly depleted the coast
ing schooners, and though there has
been Il good number of sailing vessels
built in that time. and others are con-
stantly being constructed, the light
draught schooners are not receiving
any attention. The trade of the rivers
like the kennebec, demand that some
thing Of this sort be on the waters, AMI
just what will take their place is 2
matter of conjecture.
one coal dealer. Monday. said he had
no doubt that barges would soon take
the place of the sailing vessels. These
Earges are built and owned by the coal
companies, and the tug boats of the
companies will tow them to the Ken
nebnc and other rivers, where they will
be discharged and toWed back.
Another dealer. however. does not
exactly agree with this.
There will be more Of the small
schooners built if the freight rates
keep up" he said. for then the profit
will be large enough to tempt anyone.
| do not look for the low rates We have
been enjoying, for in some of the years
past there has been an unusually low
rate. With higher rates the carrying
trade will pay. DO not understand by
this that | contemplate the rates will
stay up where they are now. but they
will not be 50 low as they have been
running.
About this matter of coal barges
operated by the big companies, l do
not believe it will work in our case.
There must be something different.
These barges need at least Il feet OF
water for them. in case the ones to pc
constructed are to be like what are
now in the service. Outside the river
trade YOU know, there are no great
number Of schooners carrying coal. TO-
dav. The day Of the coal carriage by
sailing vessels is. | believe, about over
except in this river trade, and here we
must have them.
This has been an unusually busy
summer, anyway, and 50 the scarcity
of vessels is not wholly the cause OF
the high rates. We have had several
set backs There was coal enough IN
the mines. but it could not be trans
ported to the coast for lack of cars.
which We're busy carrying to other
points inland where factories and
shops were running and demanding
| coal that had not been run before in
| wears We consequently held of ana
were a little late in looking for schoon-
! ers At the time we We're ready they
were either busy with something else
or 50 scarce that they could afford to
put up the rates. Then the owners
| dislike greatly to have their vessels
come up here after the first of Novem-
Der because it is not agreeable to be
caught in the ice.

ACQUITTED ON ONE CHARGE
Thomas E. Chestnut, Who Was Charg-
ed With Embezzlement

Thomas Il. Chestnut, who was arrested
several weeks ago. charged with having en-
bezzled fifty-one cents from J. l.. Chalifouy
& Co.,, was acquitted in the police court
yesterday morning. It was held that while
Chestnut had overcharged customer In
the store to the extent of ffty-one cents,
that the store had gotten all it was due,
and the clerk was not guilty of embezzle-
ment.
Chestnut was clerk in ChaIifoux's
store and was suspected by his employers
of overcharging customers, turning in the
correct amount of money to the cashier
and pocketiug the change. OFFICER Bodeker
laid trap to catch the clerk, and the lat
ter walked right into it. A negro was given
some money and told to go into the store
and buy a pair of cheap shoes-from Chest
mutt.
The scheme worked admirably. Chest
mutt sold the negro a pair of ninety-nine
Gent shoes, charged him 81. so for them, sent
one dollar of it to the cashier accom-
panied by a bill for ninety-nine cents, and
put the fifty cents, together with the one
cent piece, which was returned from the
cashiers desk, into his pocket Officer
Bodeker and members of the firm had been
watching the transaction and Immediately
placed Chestnut under arrest
Judge Feagin said that Chestnut had
been authorized to charge a certain amount
of goods, and when he charged over that
amount he was no longer the agent of the
store and could not be guilty of the techni-
cal crime of embezzlement. This seems
to be one of these offenses," said he.
(which Bishop describes as coming within
the deep shadow of crime
There is still another charge against
young Chestnut however, very similar to
the other one, for which he will be tried on
Saturday of next week. This time he will
be tried for obtaining money under false
nratanses from his victim.

ALMOST CAME TO BLOWS
Former Chief of Police T. c. Mcdonald
and Attorney v. L. Allen

Former Chief of Police T c. Mcdonald
and Attorney Vassar L. Allen came near
coming to blows In the police court room
yesterday morning, but were called to or
der by Judge Feagin before any injury re-
suited.
1t Is said that the, two gentlemen were
joking about the witnesses testifying in
the "vagrancy'' cases, and that some re-
marks were passed which, being misuaddr-.
stood, led Mr.. Allen to strike at Mr.. Me-
Donald Friends interfered, however, and
no further trouble resulted. Both gentle
men attributed the affair to misundar-
standing. \
