SNOWFALL GROWING LESS.
There Are Fewer storms In Colorado
Now Than In Former
Years.

s. j n
That climatic conditions are chang
ing in many parts of the country has
long been fact recognized by meteor
ologists. The memory of the oldest
inhabitants of Boulder county, Col,
does not recall time when the snow
on the mountains was as scarce as it
is now. At the head waters of the va
rious branches of Boulder creek here
tofore large beds of snow have lasted
all summer, but this year they have
dwindled into small ones, and where
there are usually small beds by the
hundreds in the latter part of August
there is now no snow at all. Immense
basins are found at Jasper lake, Arap-
ahoe pass, Arapahoe peak, Mount Au-
dubon, Longs peak and intervening
points.
These basins rise at such an angle
that the melting Of the snow is grad
ual At the foot of these basins are
lakes of various sizes, and in these
the creeks virtually take their rise.
There are in Boulder county many Of
these lakes in usual seasons, fed by
hundreds of small streams, but now
the small streams are not running, be-
cause thesn banks have disappeared
and the consequence is many of the
lakes have disappeared The glacier
in the armchair or Arapahoe peak,
is much smaller than it has been as
far as anyone knows.

the title of a farce being played
through Mississippi and Alabama be-
tween George III. Primrose, Lew Dock

case Of partners falling out all on ac-
count of the manager.ls.sl It happened
this way: Mr. Decker is to manage
the Lew Dockstader minstrel company
next season. He has been doing mis-
sionary work in New York for the past
swo weeks. and when he reported for
duty in New Orleans he was dis
charged by George FL. Primrose Mr.

Primrose went to court and secured
an injunction restraining Mr. Decker

playing Iackson,s Miss. Mr. Dockstader
took his hand at an injunction which
