The pressure is moderately low over,
the st. Lawrence valley, the northern
part Of the upper lake region and In the
western Canadian provinces as far west
as the Rocky mountains, and there are
high pressure areas over the middle
Rocky mountain region and over the

mountain region, while in northern Mon
tarla and thence northward they are from
80 degrees to 38 degrees, and in western
South Dakota from 80 degrees to 40 de-

a decided majority Of the twenty
five men approached spent yesterday in
Minneapolis and declared aemphatically
that the closing Of the. saloons had no
effect upon them. Several had gone to
st. Paul for drinks, but all had returned
to Minneapolis, which was popularity
voted the ideal headquarters for tran
sient laboring men. One man had gone
to Keegan s lake and accumulated con-
siderable liquor, but he said he believed
prohibition is best for the laborer. Sew

doing good work IN calling atten-

They say that the amount of con-

Rtive enough for anybody who knows
the headway Bingham has made and

completed. the Moffat road is coming
this way at a rate to convince the most
ssceptical of its ultimate completion; the

suns that leave no doubt as to the
solidity of it's backing. and these tire e

mountain terminus. If Los Angeles or
