Weather Bureau.
 Washington, D. C., Sept. 16. Official in Charge, U. s. Weather Bureau Office, Yuma, Arizona. SIR: Inclosed you will find copy of an article by Mr. E. B. Dunn, formerly observer in the Weather Bureau, published in the Washington Star of Septem- Der z, and presumably in other papers, setting forth the theory that irrigation in the west is the cause of the phenomena known as heat waves, and that on this account the benefits of irrigation are more than outweighed by the evils resulting therefrom.
 You will please call the atten7 tion of your local press to this article and say that the entire scientific staff of the Weather Bureau condemns the theory set forth as being absurd. Its inju- ry to the cause of irrigation, if accepted, is manifest.
 Very respectfully,
 H. E. WILLIAMS,

This is not the worst of it. Mrs. Davis carried with her $390 in cash. which Mir. Davis had earned by the sweat of his brow and which he had placed in a local bank in his wife's name. This IS not the first elopement Mrs. Davis has figured in. She eloped with MT. Davis in this city about two years ago owing to objections on her mothers side. In this instance no one object ed. All MT. Davis says he feels sorry for is the loss of his money. He told Graphic reporter he had been ex- pecting something of the kind for sometime

RAILROAD '. NJ. c. A. MAY BE BUILT IN THIS CITY, ONE MORE FOR THIS STATE Donations Could be Secured-Have an Eye on Pine Bluff-League
 Should Act

A Graphic reporter has been in formed that another Young Mems Christian Association Building for railroad employees exclusively, is to be erected at some point along the Cotton Belt road in this tate at an early date. The railroad Y. M c. 4. at Tekarkana has been such a big success both financially and social ly that the directors of that Associa- tion have decided to erect another similar institution in Arkansas to cost not less than s15,000 From what our representative could learn Jones' boro and several other towns along the Cotton Belt are making strenu- ous efforts to secure the location of the proposed institution. A Cotton Belt employe Saturday stated that Pine Bluff was being mentioned by the genelemen in charge of the mat. ter as being a favorable site for the new building. He added that if the Commercial League takes the matter up at once they may secure the enter prise. As was mentioned in the Graphic recently Carnegie, the steel king, donated s25,00O to Jackson, Miss, to be used for establishing q public library at that place. All he asked of the city when the donation was made, was that it should donate enough money annually to maintain the library. This Jacksons people were only too willing to do Carnegie has made number of donations sim liar to this one recently, but so far we have not heard of one being made in this state by that charitable mil lionaire. We believe that he could be induced to give Pine Bluff dona- tlon of this nature if sufficiently urged. He has repeatedly made the assertation that his money shall go towards the upbuilding of small cities. Helen Gould made handsome do nation to Texarkana' S railroad Y. M. c.
