but were pretty badly bruised by be-
ing caught in a rain, wind and hail
storm about half way up the summit.
Before reaching Hot Sulpher Springs
we were caught in other downpour.
Again while passing over Gori Range
we were caught in third storm
which was the hardest of all, washing
out several small bridges We had
bad roads during three days travel.
The nights were cold, bringing

The wheat, barley and oats are just

hay crop is immense. Cattle are in
fine shape
This leaves US all well and we hope
it may find you and all enquiring

THE STATES FINANCES.

for the new Capitol should be issued
this year was the decision reached al
a conference of the Governor and 9th
er State officers this evening. The fl.
nancial statement submitted by Audi.
tor Cole showed that the funds OF
hand and prospective were sufficient
to defray the expenses of the statute
government and leave a surplus
that could be applied to the new Cap
| itol. The redemption of the s4O0OO(
of outstanding bonds issued several
years ago to defray the expenses of the
State government, which can be retir
ed next year at the option of the State
was discussed, and the general opinion
seemed to be that this could also be
done with the proceeds arising from
the sale OF college lands and other
sources.
