LAST NIGHTS RAIN.
Mr. HemphiIl Promised Rain and
of Course Ii Rained

AS soon as the people down at
the f. & c. G. offices were placed
in charge of the weather, they did
the right thing for Florence. They
received their credentials yester-
day, and Immediately they foated
the blue and white flag. Mr..
Hemphill knew what the people
wished for more than anything
else, so Just to show that he is a
good fellow he ordered last nights
splendid rain In doing this he
made himself solid in regard to
the weather business, for he has
shown that he will keep his
promises in the matter of atmos-
pheric conditions.
The flags will be hoated at the
F. & c. G. signal station each day,
and are explained as follows
No. |, white flag. Clear or fair
weather.
No. 2, blue flag Rain or snow.
No. 3, white and blue flag
Local rain or snow,
No A, black triangular flag
Temperature signal.
No. 3, white flag with black
square in center-Cold wave.
When number 4 is placed above
number |, 2 or 3. it indicates
warmer; when below, colder; when
not displayed, the temperature is
expected to remain about station
AIRY. During the late spring and
early fall the cold-wave flag is also
used as frost warning flag to in
dicate anticipated frosts. When
No. 8 is displayed, No. is always
omitted.

HERE is one from the Salida
Mail that is Just about right:
"The following from an eastern
exchange will find an echo in the
heart of almost every editor in
Colorado: Cards of thanks to
neighbors and friends and courte-
sizes received on account of death
and bereavement printed in a
public newspaper are in very bad
form. They are out of fashion.
Don't have them printed any
more. We are not living in a
barbaric community. We are
living among civilized people
where our neighbors and friends
gladly and cheerfully render all
the aid they can at times of be-
reavement. They don't expect a
card of public thanks and it is
bad form to make one But the
writer should have included in
his criticism resolutions of re-
spect. etc to the dead. If there
is anything less than Gabriel's
trumpet that will make men turn
in their graves it is the bonn bastic
and silly resolutions printed about
them. 1t is unfair to take advan-
tage of a man because he Is dead.
IL urI rue space III newspapers de-
voted to this useless practice of
publishing resolutions, cards of
thanks, etc, had been concen-
trated upon some worthy reform
mankind would have been very
greatly benefited. AS it is man
kind is very greatly disgusted'

Many girls are employed at the West
ern Union Telegraph company main
office in filing dispatches and other
work requiring no great skill. Now.
although they get only the current
wages of workers in such employments,
there are always many applicants for
every vacancy. In view of this fact the
company has adopted an interesting
method of dealing with applications
Every girl applying is questioned as to
her age. education and residence. Fur
thermore, her height is taken. The facts
Ms to the applicant are then filed for fu
ture reference, and she is advised in
case she is really anxious for place to
return at the end of four months shoulu
she mot hear from the company before
that time. The reason for this advice
is that the list of applications is de
stroyed every four months.
Many applicants never come second
time Some however, come second.

though the officers of the company hold

they do say that here. as elsewhere.
perseverance often succeeds The re
quiIement that the applicant shall APP
pear in person each time is an ingen-
ious means of wedding out those appli-
cants that lack the perseverance,, which,
other things being equal, is likely to
make girl more useful to the com
pany than a girl with less of that quail

Rush Made to KIondike.

San Francisco, June 7.-Scenes
almost equaling in excitement
those which marked the departure
of prospectors for the klondike at
the first announce ment of the
gold discovery, were enacted today
when the steamer Homer and the
schooner Salvador sailed for St
Michael, the first crafts bound
thither this season.
Both vessels sailed cabins and
hold filed, many desiring passage
being refused accommodation for
lack of space. Many of these
have already engaged to go in the
steamer Charles Nelson which is
now in the transport service and
on the way back from Manila.
The Nelson is expected to sail for
st. Michael about June 18th.

The TRIBUNE does not wish to
deprive its contemporaries of any
credit due them, but it does want
its just dues. Yesterday the Sail

items from The TRIBUNE and cred
tied them to the Florence Citizen.
Brother Smith should exercise
more care in these matters. The
mistake has occurred repeatedly.

Weekly Crop Bulletin,
Denver. june 6. 1899.

Denver, J une %, 1913.
The mean temperature has been
above the normal in the northeast
ern counties and south of the Ar
kansas Platte divide, and consid-
erably below in the northern and
western counties. Renefcial rains
are reported from the northwestern
part of the state, and light showers
have occurred in the north-central
section. Dry weather continues
in other parts of the state, and the
situation is serious especially in
the southern counties, where prac-
tically y no precipitation has occur
red for more than two months.
High, dessiccatlng winds have
been general, and caused large
consumption of water without cor
responding benefits. No improve
ment has occurred in the Rio
Grande, and only temporary in
crease in the volume of water car
aied by other streams east of the
Continental divide cool
weather of the closing days having
checked the melting of the snow,
which has been the only source of
supply.
Comparatively encouraging crop
conditions prevail on the western
slope and in the northern counties
but, even in these sections, there
is complaint of cool nights retard-
ing termination and the growth of
crops generally, uneven and small
stand Of grain, and poor range.
Elsewhere the conditions continue
unfavorable and crop prospects
are, to say the least, very poor
The drought has seriously delayed
termination and, in many locali-
ties, caused suspension of work.
Many late seedlings and early
paintings have not come up.
Ranges are very poor, and in many
stock is being fed. Alfal-
ia is being harvested in the Arkan-
sas valley, but the crop is very.
light. Except on the western
slope, the water supply is scant
and only the oldest bitches are ia
operation. In many localities
where water is available the dry
ness of the soil and its consequent
to wash" precludes the
use of water for termination or the
advancement of crops just up.

THE lex" ALL REELECTED,
Election Day Sees Waik-a-way for
Caucus Nominees.

The issue-or more exactly the
prominent idea lin the recent election
was whether or not the waterworks
system should be finished by the same
council which began them. The peo-
pie have willed that they will and so
they will. The outcome of the cleo
ton proves that the people are salts
fed that the work of the council has
been Conscientious and should be in
terpreted as personal endorsement
of the acts.of the present members.
The imputation of the editor of a
certain local paper that the proceed
ings of the caucus savored of Tam
many tactics is neither fair nor just
and his feelings are simply due to it
making difference whose OK is
gored. The caucus was overwhelm-
ingly for the present council and in
asmuch as the people wanted the
present council, it made no difference
how they expressed their preference.
