DOES THIS CLIMATE CHANGE?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<

During the several very hot sum-
mers recently past there was a theory
not infrequently ventilated that the
climate in American cities had radio
ally changed, and that hereafter very
hot summers would follow each other
without break. There was no escape.
The general use of electricity was do
ing the business, says a writer Ia Bran
dur Magazine How electricity was do
ing it or why l do not recall hearing,
but that was the all-sufficient explana-
ton. l venture the opinion that not
talked this nonsense had more than the
faintest idea of what electricity is. But
they were cocksure of the soundness of
the theory. The summer of 1902 has
knocked all semblance of integrity out
Of these unbaked theories and left us
wondering whether there ever was such
weather before. Probably there has
been, and possibly not 1 do not pre-
tend to know, and l am not old enough
to remember the rigOrs of that famous
1916 when there was frost in every
month in the year. But l should not be
astonished to live long enough to expe-
rience such a summer and to hear my
good neighbors attribute it to every
thing from changed climate to the re-
venge of an angry Deity. AS a mat
ter of fact 1 suspect that the climate
has not changed, but is always chang
ing, swinging like a pendulum back
and forth; not, however, with the same
simple regularity, but in some eccen-
trio fashion which as yet we do not
understand. These remarks do not
mean that the climate and the weather
are beyond the comprehension of men.
Not at all. believe that after these
things have been under trained obser-
walton a sufficiently long time the pres
ent mysteries will be cleared away, and
that we will understand much better
than now many of the things that battle
us. / believe it quite possible that we
may not only be able to tell what the
morrow will bring, but that, to some
degree at least, we may be able to con-
troll it. At present, however, the old
wife in the country, the wiseacre in
town, and the government observer are
pretty nearly on par.

Bank President Suicides.

Silverton, Col.-James H. Robin, the
missing president of the Bank of Sill
vertOn, which was closed on account
Of the presidents disappearance, was
found dead three miles from town. He
had shot himself in the head. He was
about 40 years old, and leaves a wife
and three children, living in Denver.
Mr.. Robin was principal owner Of
the Iowa-Tiger mine and chief promo
ter Of the Camp Bird Extension com
pany, and was heavily interested in
numerous mining ventures. He was
reputed to be worth 100000.
The liabilities of the bank are said
to be about 100000; assets unknown.
1t is generally believed that the bank
is in sound financial condition, and
that Robin was mentally deranged
when he killed himself.

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 5.-White river
overlooked it's banks at OBrien sta
ton at o'clock Sunday morning. The
people of the town, not fearing disas-
ter, had retired last night, but wero
awakened by the water, in many cases
creeping into their beds. Orillia, a
town on the White river, two miles
above O'Brien, was also flooded, but
the people we're warned and many of
them left their homes and secured
places of safety before the rushing wa
ters had surrounded their homes.
At O'Brien, however, little children,
women and men were imprisoned in
their houses with eight and ten feet
of water about them. A relief train
was ordered from Seattle, and, on ar
irving with boats, the rescuing party
found several families, the women and
children of which were huddled on
chairs and tables in order to keep out
of the water that was more than two
feet deep on the floors. All persons
were taken to places of safety. No
lives are reported lost, but much
household belongings, fences and
houses have been ruined or lost.
The cost of the flood to the Great
Northern for the past 10 days has been
about $4,000 in labor alone. The Nor
thern Pacific is expanding about $4,000
day for labor

Financial Panic at Caracas.

Willemstad, island of Curacao
There was a financial panic at Cara
cas- recently. A large number of small
traders and private depositors went
together to the Office of the Bank of
Venezuela for the purpose of exchang-
ing their bank notes for silver. The
bank refused to change more than 81
worth of notes for any one person, and
at o'clock closed the doors. The
panic continues. Bills issued by the
bank are now selling for so per cent
of their face value. The leading firms
at Caracas, notwithstanding the pres
ent situation, have not presented notes
for redemption. as they are interested
in supporting the bank

The sultan has announced the ap.

this has been done, according to the
official authority for these statements,
the tribes around Fee swore fidelity to
the sultan and denounced Buhammara
as an impostOr, whom they would pre-
vent from coming to Fee.
All immediate danger has disappear

Political FIGHT in Colorado.

Denver, COl.-The senatorial situa-

complicated and should present de-
clared plans be carried out, the contest
over the selection of a successor to
Senator Henry NJ. Teller, which will
begin in earnest with the converting
of the legislature on Wednesday next,
will be, to say the least, exciting and
more than likely spectacular.

Suffer Great Losses-Water Subsid-

Tacoma Wash, Jan. 5.-There was
nothing doing on the Northern Pacific
Sunday.
To sum up the difficulties, the North
ern Pacific is now struggling with,
there are five washouts on the main
line between Castle Rock and Kelso.
There are innumerable slides all the
way from Cosmopolis to the terminus
on the Grays Harbor branch. The Au-
burn cutoff is under water for one
mile. Nearly a mile of track is gone
in one place on Green river. Five or
six other and minor washouts are re-
ported between Lester and Palmer.
The big washout at Martin is followed
by a succession of washouts and land
slides all the way to Ellensburg.
The South Bend branch is under wa
ter and covered with slides from Will
lapa to the terminus.
The Great Northern is in exactly a
like predicament with the Northern
Pacific. The first effects Of the chinook
were to again carry away the bridge
at Meadows creek. Trains were then
directed over the Northern Pacific, but
before they could be dispatched east
the Northern Pacific was blocked as
stated.
The waters in the mountains are re-
ported subsiding, but rising between
here and Portland.
At Castle Rock it is estimated that
about 10000 cords of single bolts
have gone down the river. The center
span of the Toledo wagon bridge is
gone and many smaller bridges also.
Communication with country districts
is almost impossible, and full details
of the flood can not be learned.
All piling recently driven for a
bridge across the Cowlitz at that point
is also gone.
Damage South of Tacoma.
Centralia is under water, supplies
are getting scarce and restaurants
have raised prices. All teachers but
two are away on vacation and can not
return, consequently schools can not
open Monday.
The principal damage in Lewis coun-
ty was in washing out bridges and
plank roads.
Four bridges on the Great Northern
near Madison have been carried away
by snowslides and the towns of Sui
tan and Sylvania are under water, the
people using boats in the streets.

The Wife's Statement.

Mrs. Mott made an ante norton
statement to County Attorney Hall, in
which she accused her husband of her
probable murder, the act being COM
mitted while he was under the inhu-
ence of drugs and liquor and in a quar-
relsome mood. Mrs Mott continued
conscious to the time of death. Ow-
ing to the severity of her wounds phys
icians made no attempt to extract the
bullets. -Four children survive-two
by a former husband, and two little
girls, Of whom Mott is the father.

Wife Had Sold Laundry.

December 20, while her husband was
in North Dakota, Mrs. Mott disposed
of their laundry plant to Jones Bros,
who came from Spokane. Her assign
ed reason was that her husband had so
neglected his business because of dis
sipation that it had grown unprofit-
able and was too heavily encountered
with debts to be made a successful
venture. The property was in her
name. On returning home Mott was
much enraged over the sale. To a
correspondent he said he would have
his property back or some one would
dearly pay for his humiliation. His
talk was considered aimless and boast
ful-a natural condition with the man
Mrs. Mott left the room and her hus-
band after an hours quarrel.

Mott then stepped into an adjoining
room. In an instant he went down
stairs. To crowd of people he said:
We'll, here's the shooter; you'd bet
ter go for the police"
City Detective Hogan and officer
John Wilson took Mott to the county
Jail. He walked along with the Off
GERS without objection. He was plain
ly under the influence of liquor and
greeted acquaintance with a smile.
Two years ago Mott went to Spo-
kane, where he remained a year as
operator of laundry. He returned to
Missoula and reopened business,
which has declined in prosperity for
several months.
