Report on Climate and Crops.

The United States Department of ag-
riculture, climate and crop bulletin OF
the weather bureau, Washington Sec
ton, for the last week says: The
week was one of excessive rainfall in
the section of the state west of the Cas-
cades, particularly in the coast count
les. The rain was continuous until
the %, having lasted week, and had
ruinous effect upon the strawberry
crop, stopping picking and causing the
berries to rot. Cherries, except late
ones, were also very badly damaged,
by bursting and rotting on the trees.
In the meadows a great deal Of clover
and grass were badly tangled and dam
aged. In some localities considerable
hay had been cut, but not yet secured,
and such was very badly damaged, and
in some cases completely ruined. Oats,
which can endure great deal of moist
ure, were not reported as injured The
thorough wetting of the soil will prob
ably be beneficial 20 vegetables if
warm weather ensues.
1.-THE situation in the section east of
tn Cascades, has not materially
| changed, except tnat grain is nttle
nearer to maturity. The weather was
hot and dry as a rule, although there
were some light, scattering showers
during the week. The hot weather
did no material damage to grain, be-
cause not accompanied by dry, blasting
winds, but on the contrary, was moist
and cloudy, and therefore beneficial to
growing crops.
"a good rain in the Big Bend coun-
try would greatly improve spring
wheat, making longer straw, and
plumper heads. Fall wheat is now
ripening rapidly, some early patches
are being cut and harvesting will be
in general progress by the first week
in July. Thus far prospects are ia
vorable for a fine yield of wheat, fruit
and vegetables.

Fire in Tacoma.

Tacoma, Wash, July Fire destroyed
the warehouse of the Puget Sound Lounge
and Mattress factory, the buildings of the
Union stock yards and damaged Northern
Pacific property in the company's freight
yards.
Captain Carlson, a fireman, was struck
by falling timber and knocked out of a
three-story winuow in the mattress factory
plant, breaking an arm and suffering Sc
we're injuries about the head. Frank Nc
Lean, another fireman, was overcome with
smoke while fighting the stock yards fire
and was assisted to a second story window,
wnere he dropped to the ground and es-
capped serious injury. There were dozens
of narrow escapes from the flames, smoke
and falling walls. Several young glrs were
employed by Inc mattress company in its
warehouse, and were working on the third
story when the fire was discovered on the
fourth floor. They all narrowly escaped

MINING NOTES.

A strike is reported on a claim be

The claim is owned by John Dowd and

group. The ore is high grade milling
and was found near the surface. No
assays have been made.
Among the deeds placed on record
last week at Wallace, Idaho, was one
conveying a number of mining claims
to the Sunset Peak Mining Company,
limited, the consideration being $780,
900. Among the claims is one which
has shown some ruby silver, a very
rare ore in this region, the Sierra Ne
vada, Omaha and one or two others in
the same neighborhood near Wardner,
being the only other claims which have
shown it.
Several large nuggets have been
found on the Mary Ann placers in
Chesaw camp, Wash.

the contents of the converter into the
great ladle and the crane was hosting
it when the pail broke pouring a large
quantity of seething copper over Mark

Markey's clothing was burned from
his body, and he lived but short time,
dying in fearful agony.
A stir is reported on West Fisher

BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The Ymir mine is now running a
portion of it's new complement of
stamps. The work of increasing the
work of the tramway has been complet-
ed and ore was passed down yester-
day. Sixty of the 80 stamps were star
ted, and the balance will probably be
started in day or two. This is by
far the largest battery in British Co
lumbia, and it is said the capacity is to
be doubled in the near future.
The drift on the 100-foot level Of the
Hartford, in Wellington camp, has
been extended 100 feet and is still in
ore.
A six foot ledge on the J. & S. in We'll
lington camp, is now being stripped.
1t is six feet wide and it reported that
the assays average $50 per ton. 1t is
the intention of the owners to quarry
out the ore and make a shipment to the
smelter forthwith. The principal
owner is John Rogers. The claim ad-
joins the Hartford and Brandon and
Golden Crown.
R. M. McEntire has returned from
Meyers creek to Greenwood and con-
firms the report made regarding a dis
covery of rich placer ground on the
Lone Star claim. Mr.. McEntire says
the discovery was made while an up
raise for air was being run from the
Review tunnel through the bed of a
small stream to the surface. In turn

was uncovered. He washed several
pans. Coarse gold was found, and as
high as 60 colors was taken out to a
pan.
Hugh Cannon is doing extensive de-
velopment work on the Yellow Jacket,
a promising claim in Browns camp,
near Grand Forks. 1t adjoins the Lit
tie Bertha.
The stream crosscuts the Lone Star
vein, which is an extension of the ia

Grand Rapids, Mich, July 3.-The big
reservoir of the city water works system,
located ON the hill in the northern part OF
the city burst at a. m. yesterday. More
than l0O,00O,OO0 gallons OF water was let
loose and rushed through the valley ad-
jacent, flooding an area peopled by about
5000 persons.
Many dwellings were washed away, 9th
ers were badly damaged, and all those
within a district for three blocks square
were either wholly or partly filled with
sand. None of the buildings damaged was
of costly character, as they were for
most part homes of working men. Not a
house with the sweep of the flood escap
ed damage.
The tracks of the Detroit, Grand Haven
& Milwaukee railroad, short distance
north of the reservoir, were undermined
and trains on that road were obliged to
make detour via other roads.
The break was first seen by Bert Bots
ford, boy delivering morning newspapers.
1t was then only tiny stream, but realiz-
ing the danger, the boy aroused hundreds
from their sleep and urged them to escape
The reservoir gave way at the gate house
near Livingston street, pouring down the
hill stream SO feet wide and 10 feet deep
A number of houses were swept from theil
foundations and carried away in the flood
and crushed. Some streets were torn W
to depth of 40 feet.
Mrs. Cooper of Clancy street was liter
ally swept out of her house by the flood

be placed as soon as the wagon road is
completed. The Jumbo, which lies be-
yond the Concord, about two miles, al
ready has more ore blocked out than
any other mine in the camp, with per-
haps the exception of the Big Buffalo,
and before fall will be placed in the
list of actual producers.
The main shaft of the Mayfiower
mine near Whitehall has reached
depth of 925 feet The lead has not

SIDEWALKS NEEDED.

One of the immediate needs of the
east end people of Canon is side
walk along Main from 18th street to
the railroad crossing, or in fact to
Orchard Avenue. A good portion of
the Lincoln school children travel
this street four times day and the
only place to walk is in the middle of
the street. This is bad enough in
either dusty or wet weather. The
people in the east end are heavy tax
payers and are doing much to build
up that part of the city.
The improvements being done
around Mrs. Cameron, Hunter Palmer
and DR.. Craven's places are very
marked, and houses are getting SO
thick along 18th, Park and Orchard
that this part of town has no longer
country appearance. By all that
is right and just these people should
have sidewalk along Main, at least
and Aldermen Coulter and Craven
who live in that section, should lool
up the matter and see what can bs
done,

states, including Florida and in Old
Mexico, but that he had never en-
joyed 30 much fine weather any
winter in any place as we have ex-
psrienced in Canon this season. 1t
il certainly fact that for warm
open winter the present one here 1T
Canon could not be much improved
on. We have had no rains and really
but one snow and that lasted less
than week. We have not had a
dozen bad days during the entire
season. The ground is not frozen
nor has it been. We dare say that
Canon has enjoyed a pleasanter

THE TRADE PROPOSITION.

Hardly week passes but some
gentleman comes to the RECORD
sfice and wants to do some advertis-
ing on q trade proposition. That is
We are to do his advertising and take
merchandise in exchange. This is
something the RECORD never does
We do not do it for several good
reasons, each sufficient in itself.
First, to do it with one merchant Ii
not fair to the other. If we were to
trade out" all the advertising ac-
counts of Frank l.. Smith and not dc
90 with Baker & Biggs, We would ex-
pect the last mentioned gentlemen to
quit doing business with US, very
quickly. Second, we can't afford 1t.
We have to pay cash for our paper,
ink, type, machinery, rent, light, labor
and hundred other expenses. Ii
We could turn such merchandise in
lieu of cash over to our landlord, our
help, or our paper dealer it might do,
but they want cash every time
Advertising is not all profit. In fact
advertising space in LIVE newspaper
is sbout as staple and sold on nearly
~ close margin as is sugar by a
grocer. 1t requires cash to produce
it and it must take cash to pay for it.
Another good reason is that 1t isn't
BUSINESS for either party. Our lin
tied experience proves that the man
who gives trade for his advertising
soon begins to feel that he is giving
more than the ads are worth and
that he is getting little benefit from
the deal. And this is usually the
case, for newspaper that gees into
the trade proposition to any extent
cannot thrive, and the advertising
value is necessarily of little account.
In previous years Canon City has had
papers that worked the trade propo
sitien almost exclusively, and as a
result only the names of those papers
are now remembered by an interested
few. No business can long give and
trade its product away and i've.
The RECORD has prospered because
It has put high value on its adyer-
tising. Not necessarily a high price,
but hi9h value. We know exactly
what It costs to produce an inch OF
advertising space, and it is our rule
70 get trifle more than it costs. II

HENRI WATERsoN lays the blame
for the murder of Would-be-Governor
Goebel at the door of Gov. Taylor,
but the fact remains that had it not
been for a cold blooded conspiracy on
the part of Goebel and his Democratic
friends to cheat the will of the peo-
pie and by going behind the decision
of his own election board, rob a
fairly elected governor of his office,
Goebel might today be living and
peace reigning in Kentucky. Gov.
Taylor may have made some mistakes,
but it is fact that even leading
Democrats conceded Taylor's election
