those same places in winter the eli
mate is similar to that of Phoenix.
The warm winds from the deserts
would prevent the precipitation of
snow if any were inclined to fall But
the sun which moves toward the tenn
perate zones in summer goes back to
the more tropical regions in winter
and Mexico enjoys a good portion of
Tits warmth. Then take the ranges
parallel and near the Pacific coast in
Lower California. Places which cor
respond in latitude and altitude to the
Cananea mountains are almost devoid
of rainfall Not only the deserts, but
the sides of mountains exposed to the
OCEAN winds are barren. The precipi-
tation is as heavy on the east side OF
the ranges as on the west.
PUT INTO A GOOD HUMOR. Yes
terday would have been a good day for
any one who wanted to ask a favor
from the board of supervisors. Su-
pervisOr Norton was never in better
humor. There was only one thing
the matter with him and that was in
the vicinity of the waistband of his
| trousers. He administered relief to
himself now and then by loosening the
buckle behind. While the supervisor
was at breakfast a man called at his
|
| lopes which had been sent by Frank
| Fowler.

DRAINAGE OF GAS PIPES. The
gas company was busted again yester-
day in cleaning pipe on Washington
and Center streets. The IGpe may be
overhauLed south a block. The neces-
s:ty of cleaning these pipes IS due to
several leakages which allow the en-
trance Of dirt and moisture. At times
it is necessary to overhaul new pipe in
which water has accumulated. The
pipe is laid with respect to grade and
at places in the city are receptacles
where the water accumulates and is
pumped out. But occasionally in the
settling of the ground after a pipe is
laid the inclination is changed. The
accumulation of water is due to the
concentration of moisture acconpany-
ing the gas.

water when the new system is COM /
