Snowfall, In tn. Mountains.


East OF the continental divide
The precipitation during March was
about as much as the combined
falls OF December and January,
and nearly double that OF Febru
ary; but on the western watersheds
the total for the month WAS prac-
tically the same as for January or
February. AS compared with the
normal there was deficiency, ex-
cept on the southwestern water
shed OF the Arkansas. At moder-
ate elevations the snow generally
melted as it fell, or at best remain
ed but few days, ard was readily
taken up by the ground which, as
= rule, still has capacity for q
large amount Of moisture. At
higher attitudes light falls occurred
nearly every day and, as high
winds have prevailed, much has
been swept into gulches and other
sheltered spots. While the
amount Of snow in the mountains
. now generally greater than here

SHUMwAY, good!y size town in
Eilingham county, Illinois, has
solved the principle Of municipal
government at small expense. 1t
has one saloon that is run by 4
German. He pays 5000 annual
license for the exclusive privilege
OF dispensing the "ardent." Every
cent Of this money is expended in
building brick sidewalks, and they
have over two miles OF them. The
mayor aud aldermen receive no
salary. They have no police, as
each alderman is a policeman, as
we'll as the saloon keeper. The
city clerk receives but $iS year,
and he is the only officer who
draws . salary. When man gets
drunk the whole town turns out
and puts him. in the calaboose,
snd there be stays until he gets
sober, and then il taken out and
ioed, and this money goes to
build more sidewalks.

LOCAL reports from American
Agriculturist observers, carefully
consolidated into state averages,
show a condition OF wheat higher
than has been noted at this time
in the past ten years, with the ex-
ception Of 1894. The general
average as reported for the whole
belt Is e5.5, figure which repre-
sents a practically perfect pros
pect over the greater part OF the
winter wheat area. With the ex-
ception Of few counties in Ken
lucky. Tennessee and Ohio. no
winter killing is reported. Since
March Ist there has been an abund-
ance of moisture in all sections.

Hoes are in the ascendancy in
the live stock market, and have
been for some time. Many a
farmer probably wishes he had
more hogs and fewer cattle and
sheep just at present. The price
has been huctuating between 50
and 81 per hundred weight for
several weeks past, and yearling
hog is worth almost as much as
yearling steer at present prices.

NEW oreea HOUSE.

Mr.. Frank p. Mcclure, the
opera house promoter and builder,
who visited this city few weeks
ago, was called to his home in
Chicago before he had time TO fully
present his proposition to our citi.
zens. He will probably return,
however. within the course OF the
next week or ten days, and will
spend some time in thoroughly
acquainting the citizens OF this
community with his proposition.
Providing he is guaranteed a
certain sum he will Immediately
commence the erection of an opera
house in this city, with seating
capacity of $50, to cost Sao. 900.
Mr.. Mcclure has a large num-
Der OF letters Of Recommendation
from the leading citizens of Mat
toon, ILL.,, Canton, III. Webb City,
Mo, Guthrie. Okla, and other
places in which he is unqualitiedly
endorsed as gentleman who is
thoroughly posted on every phase
OF opera house work, and in every
place fulfilled his contracts and
constructed building far superior
to what was anticipated. AT
Guthrie, Okla, an opera house
and hotel building combined was
erected, and proposition OF this
kind in La Junta should meet with
general and emphatic approba-
ton on the part OF our citizens.
In order to acquaint our citizens
with the endorsements received by
Mr.. Mcclure in other communities
we will publish one OF the letters
OF recommendation written by II.
II Hagan, OF Guthrie, Okla. IL
is as follows.
ITO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
This is TO certify that some time dur
ing the fall of 1899, Mr.. Frank z.
Mcclure came to the city OF Guth.
RE with the object OF building an
opera house in said city, provided
the citizens OF this city would as
sist him.
"As secretary of the Guthrie
Cub OF this city, called meet
ing Of the members. This club
is composed Of all the leading
citizens OF the city OF Guthrie. }
AT this meeting, Mr.. Mcclure
laid his plans before the members
OF the club and told them If they
would render certain assistance,
he would build an opera house,
costing about $40, 900. The presi-
dent OF the club appointed com
mittee to assist Mr.. Mcclure to
tdISC tuS dhouut ttthiitds WIN
some feeling OF misgiving, as he
thought it was money making
scheme OF Mr.. McClure's, and that
the citizens OF Guthrie would not
get an up-to-date opera house,
which the city wanted. Still,
however. the subscription was
raised, and Mr.. Mcclure complet.
ed the opera house.
al wish to further certify that
there is not single subscriber
but who is more than pleased with
the opera house and every one Of
the donators will testify in saying
that Mr.. Mcclure built a better
and much handsomer opera house
than he agreed to. Thta he kept
his word in every particular, and
the citizens OF Guthrie are highly
delighted and pleased with the
building, and are more than pleas
ed with the manner in which Mr..
Mcclure kept his word and faith
with the citizens"

"scHooL LAND INFORMATION"
In order that the people may know
that their sacred trust is in faithful
hands. tomorrow morning the State
Capital will explain fully the work
ings of the Oklahoma school land de-
partment the same having been
through Ignorance and malice grossly
misrepresented by the Leader of last
evening. State Capital, this morning
The Leader has misfepresented
nothing We have simply stated the
facts relative to the arranged loot Of
the school land funds.
VIII the school land leasing board
deny that it has employed six corps
of politicians, six men to a corps to
appraise the school lands in the Kiowa
country? And will the department
deny that the work could be done by
one man in a few weeks at no extra
cost to the department?
The delay in the work is due to the
fact that letters have been written to
30 or 40 politicians who were turned
down for other positions, Offering them
portions of the school rake-on as a
salve to injured feelings. These let
ters have not been answered. Bill
Little, director Of appraisers, whose
desire to be private secretary was
unappeased, is satisfied with Che new
order Of things and offers no protest
against the cutting of the sacred
school land funds.
The Capital may furnish "informa-
tion" about the school land funds
without stint, but it will be obliged
to resort to some tall lying to cover
up the truth relative to the proposed
Kiowa loot.
Fear of publicity may check the
new administrations rayages on the
school land money but the people
viii not be satisfied since Bin Little's
scheme has taken and when the next
Legislature shall meet, argent demands
win be made for salutary legislation
governing school lands.

According to Washington Dis
patches there is an impression at the
national capital that a general cam
paign is now in progress in Cuba to
bring about annexation of the island
and that is is "the purpose of the adj
ministration to bring the island into
the union as Hawaii is now"
What have Senator Aldrich and
the other Republican bosses in charge
Of the interests Of our tariff benef-
ciaries to say about that? They will
have to go to the white house and
read the riot act once more, and read
It with particularly strong emphasis.
Hawaii is in the union in such wise
chat all Hawaiian products are adj
mitted into the continental part Of the
union free of duty, and reciprocally
all products of the continental part
are admitted into the islands free.
Bringing Cuba into the union in
such wise viii not be accomplished
so long as these who easily turned
NJ. Mckinley from the path of plain
duty" in the case OF Porto Rico have
power to prevent.

which have more than once dictated

them more powerful than administra-
tions will not consent to bringing
Cuba into the union in any such sense.
They are not yet so sure Of the
supreme court that they will consent
to any closer relations between Cuba
and the United States than those
which are contemplated by the
Plat amendments so construed as to
leave Cuba nominally an independent
country for protective tariff purposes.
