No Hot Winds.

Elmer Brown In his Guthrie Times
journal says: "Thc fact il that no hot
winds have struck Oklahoma this year.
No hot winds visited the territory last
year, either, nor the year previous.
The year before that, 1896, had n half
day Of wind that wa, like hot blast
from n furnace. The year 1895. not
withstanding its drouthy condition
until late in the summer, had no hot
wind. The five proceeding summers
were without hot winds. Those who
have experienced hot winds have no
difficulty In distinguishing them from
the ordinary hot weather, or the re-.
Election Of heat from dusty road or
street. When you crawl around to the
north Of the house or barn to escape
the hot blasts, when you feel more
comfortable In the broiling sun than in
the hot draught, then begin To think OF
hot winds When the grass cures as
bright as new mown hay and the corn
leaves that were green In the morning
curl up and blow away before the sun
goes down, when the apples bake to n
crisp brown on the trees and you dash
water about the premises everywhere
to make IL possible TO live through the
day, then you have experienced hot
winds. Hot winds are of local origin,
To bc sure, and sometimes occur In Mis-
souri, Illinois and Iowa, and very fire.
qucntly occur where large areas Of
wheat stubble exist. There Is little
danger of hot winds M long as the
country is pretty generally covered
with growing vegetation. II has not
even been exceptionally hot in OKLA
homa yet this year.

have been returned by Govcrnor Bar.
ncs, with n copy Of the attorney gencr.
ais opinion that the showing made IL
insufficient under the law. Under the
law providing for the incorporation OF
cities, as construed by the attorney
general. two fundamental propositions
must be found To exist before the ex.
ccutive authority In the premises can
be called into action, viz: First, the
corporate authorities Of such city shall
have asccrtained that the population of
said city exceeds $500 and have ccrti.
fled the same to the governor; second,
that petition signed by majority OF
the legal voters of such city should
have been filed with the govorncr pray
ing for the organization OF such city
under this act. The attorney general
further holds that an examination OF
the papers on He does no, show an AS
ccrtainmcnt by the corporate author
tiles in any legal or proper manner
that the population of Ponca City en-
cccds $500. The record does not show
that the corporate authorities found as
n substantive fact this to bc the case;
the certificate Of the clerk and the emu
mcra,or Is no evidence Of that fact of
which the governor can take notice
The only method Of proving this fact.
which the attorney general suggests,
would be for n certified copy of the
record of the proceedings Of the prcsi-
dent and board of the town of ponca
City showing that they had, with n
quorum present. upon proper evidence,
examined into the question and affirm.
ativcly found that such fact existed
and entered the same upon record,
which record duly certified would he
competent evidence upon which the
governor could act.
The second objection raised by the
attorney general upon the suilicicncy
Of the petition Is that there Is no affirm
ative evidence except the statement in
the heading of the petition that the
signcrs are qualified voters In the town
of ponca City, which fact should in
his Judgment, he verified by competent
judgment.
In conclusion, the attorney general
advises the return Of the petition with
the suggestion that the population of
Ponca City be asccrtnincd and ailirma-
lively found by the corporate authori
ties of the city, and the finding made
a matter Of record upon the minutes of
their proceeding, which finding and
record, duly certified. should accom-.
pany the petition, to which should bc
attached competent evidence that the
signers were bona-fdc residents of the
town of Ponca City.
