Mondays Storm.

O'AS W ssse usOoS 0CvCIc stObmS ever
witnessed in the Lewiston valley swept
over the city shortly after O'Clock Mon.
day evening The wind reached veioc.
ity Of IS miles per hour. The light
volcanic dust was carried through the air
IN dense vo unies and ut times entirely
hid the bright glare Of the elec ric street
lights. Not house in the city was with
out ITS share Of the dust Tuesday morn.
ing. The dust movement continued for
about one hour.
Much damage was done in some Sec
tions to shade and fruit trees. The city
teamsters were busy all day Tuesday
hauling of broken limbs and other de.
bris. 1t was indeed fortunate that no
one was injured, as the stately poplars
that line many streets have been sadly
neglected. Rotten and broken limbs
overhang every public highway where
they are . constant menace TO life aud
limb. Thes. streets should be looked
after ere the city and property owners
become defendants to damage suits.
The storm was not accompanied by
rsin. There were two peals of thunder
and one fash Of tightening. both rare oc.

IT WAS "ENoUdH HoT.s
Cool Breeze, However, Was a Saving
 Factor

The little mercury ball in MT. Chaf- fees weather bureau thermometer at tho Federal building climbed up to. S5 de- grees yesterday and fat men in Mont- gomery were kept busy wiping perspira- tion.
 "Yes. it's enough hot" declared one fat man. anticipating the question of a friend. Its enough hot but you let this stiff breeze quit blowing and it'll be too hot"
 Fat men, as rule. are posted on weather conditions and this fat man was right. The high temperatures of yester- day were not oppressive. owing to good breezes which prevailed throughout the day.
 The entire southwest has been under the influence of a heat wave during the last two days; during the twenty-four hours ending a. m. yesterday, the tempera- ture ranged as high as 102 to 104 de- grees over all of Western Texas, with a brisk south wind prevailing over the entire South.
 This heat Is caused by the inflow of warm air towards a very decided atmos- pheric depression, or storm center over Iowa yesterday and moving eastward to- wards the Great Lakes.
