cities, and by the time they are ready to pull for the beaches the beach man. agements will have the bathing places drained off for them and filled up again with nice clean water

 | MRS. PROWELL DEAD.-Word was received here last night of the death at San Diego, Cal, of Mrs. E. E. Prowell Mrs. Prowell had been in ill-health for several years. She went early in the summer to San Diego, where she had been spending a part of the year for d great many years.
 AN OVERLAND TRIP.-J. A. Cope land, Robert Cree and J. w. Coverdale and family left early in the summer for an extended camping trip in the north ern part of the territory, travelling over- i land from this city. At Flagstaff MT Coverdale and family left the rest of l the party and went on to the Hopi vil- l lages to witness the snake dance. MT. | Copeland and MT. Cree returned home Wednesday. They report a very pleas ant trip, and say the prettiest place they found for camping during the whole summer was at Little Springs at the foot of the San Francisco mount aims.
 | WILL LIVE HERE.-Mr and Mrs. Egbert Clarke returned yesterday l where they have been spending the summer. Their return is another illus tration of how Phoenix loses popula- tion by the summer tourist business, for when they left they were two and now they are only one. Mir. Clark is from Minneapolis and has spent several winters here. His wife is better known as Miss Barger of Chicago, who spent last winter in Phoenix. They were mar ried near Los Angeles early in the sum- mer. They are now stopping at the Sixth avenue, but will make their home on MT. Clark's ranch four miles from the city.
 THE WHITE FLAG.-The white flag was up over the weather bureau office yesterday, indicating lair weather, though the sky was cloudy and there were hints of rain. This makes per tinent an explanation that will place the weather bureau right with a large number of it's critics. The flag is not displayed for the purpose of showing what the weather is at the time, for the bureau officials assume that the average citizen has sense enough to know by looking out doors whether it is raining or not The flag, though, is a prediction for the next days weath- CT. The white flag yesterday was therefore a guarantee of fair weather today, and the public has no just cause for complaint so far. But if it rains today no defense will be made for the weather bureau. It will have to take care of itself.
 A PICTURE STUDY-The local of- flee of the weather bureau service has received from Washington a relief map of the United States so constructed that it can be suspended from the wall. It would be an exceptionally appropri- ate thing in a school room, as the few things it pretends to illustrate are made so clear and are the things every per son should know. The map is less than a yard long and is constructed in such way as to show the curve of the earth, or. rather. that arc of the circle formed by the equator, embracing the United States. The most interesting thing shown is the topography of the entire country, the highest mountain ranges and the deepest valleys and can yons. The grand canyon of Arizona is nicely in evidence. The river sys- tems are clearly shown and by colors the amount of rainfall in the different sections of the country is given. For instance, the section of the country having the least rainfall is shown to be from Yuma north to central Nevada. The color showing the next dryest re- zion includes Phoenix. The mean tenn perature of all the principal sections is shown by red figures, and across the map are drawn isothermal lines, or lines showing the different attitudes of equal temperatures.
