One who has not seen the lay Of the

having 30 delightful q summer climate
would have a severe winter. Yet this Is

is free from moisture, there being less
Of cloudy weather in winter than In
summer. To the north, the great noun
tains Of Colorado receive the greatest
snowfall, and break the force Of north

During the civil war. as we'll as in our

Reports from the bottom lands are
that grass and weeds have taken a
strong hold among the crops. but that
with a week or ten days of favorable
weather there will be great improve
ment in the conditions.
There were a number of carload ship-
ments of berries this week and the
quality of them was an improvement
over what was put on the market last
week. 1t is thought that fair prices will
be received for these later shipments.
The representatives selected by Craw.

not sent to their respective places. We
think both societies would have done

SECRETARY OF STATE
GETS $4,000 A YEAR
so ADMITTED BEFORE Insurance CON-
MlTTEE YESTERDAY.
Appeared to Give Information in Come ciion
With the Pending Bill to Turn Fees
Into iha Treasury.

In response to q request, Secretary of
State Thompson appeared before the
Committee on Insurance to give infor-
nation concerning the fees he receives
from insurance companies and agents.
He said that in the aggregate the fees
he receives from these sources amount
to about $500 a year. The other fees
and his salary make his total income
from the office about $4,000 annually.
He explained that the only personal
fees he received from insurance compa
MES and agents We're 80 cents for certi
ficates to agents to solicit insurance and
$500 for examination of the statements
Of insurance companies with a view to
ascertaining their solvency. The 5000
he personally received was part of q. to-
tai fee of S21.00. He stated that he.
did not think these fees should be
cahrged and did not now upon what
grounds the charge was made, but old
blanks in his office showed that as far
back as he could ascertain these fees
had been charged by his predecessors.
DIR. Thompson was asked to appear in
connection with bill introduced in the
Senate some days ago to cover insurance
fees into the State Treasury.
