Snow in the Mountains.

March was not so stormy as usual
over the greater part of the mountain
region, and taken rs whole the pre-
cipitation was below normal, al
though an excess was noted in locali-
ties on nearly every watershed. There
has been considerable melting in the
valleys, and a large proportion of the
moisture is being absorbed by the dry
soil. Above 8. coo feet the depths are
practically the same as month ago,
the current fall generally making good
the loss in depth by the gradual set
tling of the old snow, much of which
is in "a condition to remain late in
the season. The outlook for good
and prolonged flow is unusually favor
able for the Rio Grande; on other
watersheds the early flow promises to
be much better than last years but
the late flow will be less than normal
if not augmented by normal rainfall

IMPORTANT CHANGE.
Howard Dunlap Now Controls En-
poria National Bank,

Emporia. Kan. Oct 19-Howard Dun
lap, president of the Emporia Savings
bank, and long identified with banking
interests here, has purchased a suffl-
Gent number of shares of the Emporia
National bank to give him the control
ling interest. 1t is understood that it is
M Dunlap's desire to consolidate the
two banks but this is not at the tfes-
ent time satisfactory to the older stock
holders of the Emporia National.
About year ago Major c. Hood sold
all of his shares. with the exception of
ten, to Thomas Shell Major Hood
agreeing to remain with the bank for a
year. or until the new controlling stock
holder should have affairs we'll in hand
by personal acquaintance with the
banks business. Mr.. Smell has not been
active in the management and 1t ao-
pears was disappointed in not securing
as his personal representative a man
whom he selected for the place ana has
now sold to Dunlap the shares he Sc
cured from Hood.
1t is a fact well known to the Topeka
and Kansas friends of Major Hood that
he has been anxious to rid himself of
the detailed and active work which has
always fallen to him in connection with
the business of his old bank
For 30 years he has given his time
and talents to this institution anu large
ly by his own personal influence and
work has made the Emporia National
Ddl1k one OF the pest HndnclRI InSIltE-
lions in the state. He had notified Mr..
Smell that he could not remain With the
bank longer than the end of the present
year, his old associate share holders
having insisted that he remain until
that time. This condition AM the fact
stated above that Mr.. Smell had been
unable to. take personal or direct control
undoubtedly induced the latter to sell
his stock.
Major Hood is one of the largest
shareholders in the Citizens Bank Of
Emporia, of which his son-in-law. f. c.
Newman, is president. It is understood
that while the changes will thus relieve
Major Hood of detailed work as a bank
er, he will not leave Kansas and proba-
bly, not leave Emporia. where he has
been so prominently identified for more
than quarter of a century with all af-
fairs pertaining to the welfare and up
building of the town.

the Pennsylvania, induced her TO practice
on the trick in order to acquire the proper
force OF muscle and skill of aim in break
ing the bottle in the right way, at the
r1ght time and in the right place
1t would be well worth while to consider
the advisability of making change, even
II it tends to the selection of a less diff
cult brand of bottle to break rather than
the abandonment of the bottle altogether.
There is naturally q sense of revulsion at
the idea of christening a battleship by tho
release of so gentle and peace-provolxiTg
creature as a dove. A snow white bird,
standing for all that is tender and beautf-
full in the field of human sentimentalitv
might be thought by some TO be badly out
of place in connection with the launching
to the armament of the nation and to
stand as menace between us and our
foes. Just what the symbolism of the dove
is in Japan we do not know, but there IS
something very beautiful and attractive
about the idea of the white winged crea-
ture sailing away free wings out of
bondage and captivity just as the mighty
vessel leaps into the arms of the waiting
tide The idea is pretty enough to be worth
considering. 1t is certainly very essential
that the young ladies' who are selected to
stand sponsor for our mighty ships should
not have to go into course of physical
training before the launching in order Il,
enable them to throw Z bottle with sIIfFi-
cient force TO break when it comes into
contact with cold steel.-Baltimore News.

It is the man who let's his wife have
her own way that comes the nearest to
having his.
A woman can worry even about what
clothes she ought to wear at her own
funeral.
When a girl is kissing a man against
her Will, the more she lodges the surer
her lips are to land in exactly the right
place.
Nothing makes a woman so proud of
her husband as to have him use a
Biblical quotation when their minister
is dining with them.
Because a man can sit for forty sec
onds without talking at the rate of a
steam whistle a woman has an idea
that he is brooding over black thoughts.

The long drawn out controversy be-

ish Columbia and Alaska has been set
tied at last in the only way possible
and as everybody knew it must be set
tied, right The Canadians never had
any case and never thought of setting
UP claim TO one until the territory
brought into the dispute became vaIu-
able suddenly through the discovery of
gold in the klondike. England will new
er lose anything by not setting up a
claim to it. 1t has always been her way
to claim everything in sight The re-
linquishment of the Portland canal may
properly be regarded as a concession on
the part of this country made for the
purpose OF preventing hard feelings. The
Dominion really needs it in connection
with the new transcontinental railroad
which it is preparing to build. We can
well afford to let them have it and viii
not lose anything by so doing.
