SEPTEMBER STORM PERIODS.
The Month of Fairs Will Have Sudden
Disturbances.

Hicks says that the last disturbances
in August promises TO reach into the
first of September On and touching
the first no reader will be surprised to
hear of a crisis in the elements rain,
wind and thunder The disturbance at
this tinie will. in all probability, be pr..
logged in cloudy, threatening and posi-
hiy stormy weather up to and throus-L
the Sd, 4th and 5th There are rea,
ionary storm days, and they will bril-
a return of stormy conditions even
high barometer and fair weather shou
immediately precede them, change e.
Using barometer, westerly winds an
clearing cooler weather will touch mos
parts about the 9Th to 7th. The regular
vulcan storm period central ON the 9th,
will be felt as early as the 7th or Sth, In
change to warmer and growing cloudi-
ness in western sections, As these con-
ditions increase and advance eastward
over the country, storms of wind, rain
and thunder will visit most localities
about the 9th to the 11th There is al
ways much tendency to prolong distur-
Dances during the immediate presence
of earths autumnal equinoctial, espe-
cially when full or new moon fall near
the ending of storm periods. The 18th
and 18th are also react,onary storm
days. We may therefore look for de-
cided storm conditions to continue over
these dates. This is period of proba-
BILE tidal wave and heavy storms in the
north. A marked change to high baro-
meter, westerly gales and much cooler
will almost certainly follow general and
severe storms at this time. Frosts Ia
many localities, especially northwaT i,
between the 18th ana 10Th may reasona-
bly, be expected.
The next regular storm period In CEN
tral on the 21st This period will ex-
press itself in falling barometer, rising
temperature, threatening storm clouds
with rain, wind and thunder, tie crises
falling on the 21st to 23d A change to
decidedly cooler will come in from the
northwest close behind these storms
The 9th, 2Sth and goth are reaction
ary storm days. We predict that with.
in the period embraced between the 27th
ant Both many wide sweeping and vio-
lent storms will visit various parts of
sea and land all around the earth
We predict that decided rushing
high barometer will come down out of
the northwest as the closing September
storms are pushing eastward, and that
high gales and change to very cool
weather will be in transit from west to
east at the close of the month. Indica-
tions are favorable for low temperatures
and frosts over all central and northern
sections.

Contributes to Leading journal.

In these days of swindling insurance
associations, and graft generally the
people scarcely know which way to turn
or who to consult. On independent in.
surance the Wall Street News, leading
financial publication of New York, re-
marks concerning Miles NJ. Dawson
In selecting Mr.. Dawson TO write a
series of articles for us, we were guided
by three things: First, the fact that
Mr.. Dawson is recognized in the insur-
ance world as an expert of the first rank.
Second, that, besides possessing expert
knowledge of his subject, he possesses
also the tact of stating it clearly. Third
the fact that Mr.. Dawson is directly
identified with no company or group of
companies, out ID an independent con-
sulting actuary. We count ourselves
fortunate in having been able TO find a
man possessing these desirable character.
ihsics TO write this series for us

The Weeks Tobacco Story.

Never better conditions for tobacco
harvest than have prevailed for ten days
past. The heavy rain of Tuesday night
deiayed work some, but we are not I'D
vised that there was resulting damage.
Shedding has been the order for two
weeks, ana there is yet standing in the
fields fully one-half the crop Growth
has been marvellous during that period.
Fields that promised complete failure q
month ago are now large, heavy and
fine tobacco Late growth promise best
results. Notwithstanding the damag-
ing storms, this seasons tobacco crop,
for ( ernon county at least, is the larg'
est and will command the most money
of any yet grown. More room fol
the same acreage is required to shed the
crop than last year. Not ten per cent
of the uniniured tobacco remains I'M
sold,

Will the HiIlsboro Railroad Extend?

There has been considerable talk of
late in regard to the Hillsboro q North
western railway people building a
stretch of road from Hillsboro to Yuba,
says the Richlatd Democrat, and the
following letter from W. Fl. Cash, gen.
eral manager of the road, addressed to
j. G. Kelley, of Yuba, throws consider
able light on the subject
Dear Sir: We certainly found 3
possible route, expensive to build, but
practical to operate. The company
would hardly be justified in building
for the prospective traffic unless the
people about there who would receive
the benefit would encourage the enter
prise. Ie the towns OF Henrietta and
Bloom would vote aid, say five per cent.
of valuation, we would undertake TO
enild to Yuba, although not the shortest
route The aid might be in bonds due
from one to twenty years, with five per
cent interest. OF course you can see
that values of land and everything
would advance at once and the conven-
lent benefits to all would pay this
amount very soon. Respectfully
