This was the first time the county had assessed the shops. A certificate of the sec retary of state was filed showing that the state board had assessed the shops at $100,000.

Colorado Needs Rain.

Denver, July 19.-Aceordlng TO the
weekly crop bulletin OF the Climate
and Crop Service Weather Bureau for
the Colorado section. the greater part
OF the state is in need of rain at pres
ent. The recent rainfall has been too
local and the precipitation too light to
be of much benefit.
The bulletin says: The mean tenn
perature has been about normal, the
opening days having been rather cool,
and the closing days very warm. The
rainfall has been local. with amounts
too small to be of material benefit;
rain Is now needed over the greater
portion of the state, notably in the
southern and western parts. Fall wheat,
rye and barley are being harvested,
with about average yields. Spring
wheat and oats are turning. Corn is in
good condition. Early potatoes are
being marketed: late paintings are
good, except in a few localities. The
crop of alfalfa is generally In stack,
condition and yield being good: the
second crop is making satisfactory
progress. Except in districts af-
fected by drought, pastures are good.
The prospects for fruit continue very
promising; small fruits are plentiful.
and the quality is good. The soil is
being prepared for fall wheat in the
Arkansas valley, and plowing Is under
way in San Luis park.
