VII TUESDAY AT p. m. the tnermOms
eter in front of Roaf's drug store regis
tered 104 degrees in the shade. Nobody
seemed to mind it much and many peo-
pie were surprised when told that the
registration was so high, as they did not
feel uncomfortable at all. The Their
mometer was taken down and placed in
the sun and inside of five minutes 122
degrees was registered and it was thought
the limit Of the instrument, which is the
1870 mark, would have been reached had
it been left in the sun long enough.
The people in this valley might be glad
they have the dry atmosphere to assist
them in enduring this intense heat.
Back east it would be intolerable but at
home no one feels uncomfortable even
at ITO in the shade.
