AS to sunshine nowhere in the United States will you fiud a higher percentage of sunshine than oil the Colorado Delta, of which Imperial is the center. During the year past there were 2So days in which the sun shone clear and bright, 67 which were partly cloudy and l2 which go on record as cloudy. The month of April shows 30 days of uninterrupted sunshine, rec ord which cannot be equaled in any portion of Uncle Sam S domain.
 Rain was sparingly dealt out to this section, and from the effect of the last one we are glad that this is true and we hope for less in the future. Rain fell as follows:

IMPERIAL WEATHER
As Has Been Observed the Past
 Year by II. N. Dyke
Editor Imperial Press:

Editor Imperial Press:
 IL might not come amiss for you to give the authentic figures on the
 weather for the year 1902 and thus
 put stop to the saying hat this is the
 hottest place on earth. The weather
 reports comprising daily readings of
 ma ximum and minimum temperature,
 amount of rainfall prevailing direction of wind, character of day as to sun
 shine or cloud, and other miscellaneous
 phenomena has been kept since No vember. 1901 and makes d most inter estiug study and object lesson as to climatic conditions on the Colorado delta.
 The highest temperature recorded was 123 on the 23rd day of June, that night it went down to v and person could enjoy q good nights rest after a day of hard work The air in the val ley lacks that high percentage of hu- midity that is prevelant in the east and the writer eau consCientiously say that he has suffered more from the heat in Iowa than he every has in this valley. During the months in which we have what out siders are pleased to cal "eXcessive heat' it is matter of common knowledge to all who were n the valley then that men and ami nals worked all day and did not suf- fer from the heat.
 Our most excessive heat was in the irsl part of September and the day when the heat was most felt the ther recorded only 99, but it was one of those cloudy days with regular eastern humidity in the air. We con- fess that so far as we are able to dis cern we prefer the summer weather to the winter.
 Following we append a table for the year 1902, showing the mean for each month, the maximum and the mini ulutn.

He asks why cannot writer's repeat
these words instead OF using such "unDe-
cessary substitutes?
No little has been written in the news
papers, journals and reviews Of the late
Lord Salisbury. Perhaps the following
from the New York Tribune is as felici-
tous and apt characterization of the late
eminent English statesman as has appear
ed in his own country or in our own:
/. He was a true descendant of the great
mobiles and statesmen of the Elizabethan
age, OF the Burghleys and Cecils who were
the bulwarks of England's strength in
those stormy days. and he inherited from
them much more than HIS name and hab-
tation. In temperament and tastes he was
the typical grand seigneur of Tudor times,
or such a one with his evil traits sup
pressed and his good qualities developed.
He was Il courtier, statesman, royal min
lister OF the sixteenth century, moving
stately and masterful through the much
changed scenes Of the nineteenth century.
No man of his age was more apart FROM
the spirit of the age, and yet none more
conscientiously fulfilled the duties of the
age as he saw them"
