up to very strictly by us. When the

grievances of any other nature. We do
not propose to let any one man or body

With the exception of a trace of rain
recorded at Mesa, no rainfall was re-
ported during the week. The lack of
rainfall is accentuated in portions Of
the north section by high. drying winds,
and these causes are producing severely
trying conditions for vegetable life.
