 PUMPING PLANT STRUCK-B. A. Fowler's windmill which has done good service on. his Glendale ranch for

 NOBODY SATlSFIED-Every other
 man in the valley outside of town
 wants it to rain and wet up his all falfa and cool off the air and every i alternate man hopes it will not rain
 yet for a month or until he gets his grain threshed. The people in town | would like to see little rain just be- | cause il would feel good but as their prosperity depends on the farmers they don't really know what to want. The people of the city are religiously in clined but they are afraid to take the rain question into the realm of prayer ! for fear of doing something they will
 be sorry for.
