to do so. although we have gone in
to the effort about thousand dollars
deeper than our visible resources.
We promised to build TO the cost
OF ''at least $4,000" The actual con
tract price after some little trimming
is S9.195.70. We were able to re
port $3.50 before We let the con

appreciation and gratitude to the citi-
zens of Durango who have shown me
such royal kindness and sympathy

The building will be one in which
every citizen can take an honest

Maximum Wind Humid

The temperature was but little higher
than it has been this year. and does not
average as high as it did last week
The velocity of the wind averaged high
err, however. and the amount of moisture
in the air was much less. There have
been few days this year that the humid
ity did not exceed .25. but for week in
1894 it only aggregated %. AS Director
Sage stated that when the figures We're
being compiled the wonder was not that
the yield of corn was small but that ev-
Ierything was not burned up.
When the temperature is $50 1t may
contain 1896 grains of moisture to the
cubic foot. With a wind velocity of five
miles per hour the evaporation is 20
times as great as when the calm pre-
walls. AT ten miles per hou, 1t is IS as
great All fifteen miles IT is 6.3 as great.
This gives MIR. Sage to believe that
shelter belts are of great value. and the
ground taken up by them would not be
wasted on any farm. They will prevent
the evaporation to a great extent. and
by so doing greatly benefit the crops.
The crops are sheltered from the wind
and with belts of trees on the south and
west the wind is not only kept from
| the fields, but the moisture is conserved.
4 OF course there may be time In eX-
| IRENE drouth when the trees require too
\ much moisture themselves for the bene-
fit of the surrounding crops. The ques-
4 ton is. however. whether the protection
/ from the hot winds does not more thar

Des Moines, July 1a.-In an oral opin-
ion handed down in police court, Thurs
day, Judge Silvara ruled that palmistry
is fortune telling, and fortune telling is
vagrancy, and that Zerl Rodigo and
Jura Castillo We're guilty of both.
Thereupon the judge fined the two
bright-eNed Spanish women $40 and
costs each. The trial has been on for
some time. Officer FAIRY Morris arr
rested the women 1906 East Walnut
street, charging them with being va
grants. C. f. Hum vas engaged to de-
fend the women. He argued that the
ladies We're engaged in the practice of
palmistry, which. sai, MIR. Hum. is not
akin to fortune telling. but rather more
like phrenoogy ana similar sciences.
Palmists like phrenologists. said the de-
Tense, are readers of character and not
OF futurity.
Pretending or protesting to tell for
is not a violation Of the ordinance
Nothing further than this was proved
against the defendants Therefore, they
ought to be set free.
The judge took different view. how
ever. Upon the strength of THE decision
the police of the city hereafter will take
after any and all persons visiting Des
