NOT A CLOUDY DAY IN JUNE
Month Just Passed Was Cooler Than
NormaI-Was Also Shy On
Rainfall.

June in meteorological way was
June and lacked ~ of an inch of rain
to make it a normal month in respect
to precipitation. Observer Newman late
yesterday afternoon issued summary
of weather conditions that prevailed
last month.
The average temperature was SO de-
grees, or three degrees cooler than nor
NAL The highest temperature occurring
during the month was 80 degrees, re-
corded on the 25th The lowest was as
degrees on the 7th The greatest daily
range was 35 degrees on the oath and
the least daily range was II degrees on
the 5th
The absolute maximum for June for
35 years is 1O5 degrees and the abso-
lutte minimum for June for the same
period is 80 degrees. The total rainfall
for the month was Ito inches, a de-
ficiency of .12 an inch, compared with
the average June. The total rainfall
since September 1, 1905, the beginning
of the wet season, amounts to 1888
inches an excess Of SO of an inch. The
average rainfall for "a wet seasons is

solving the problem, as they are the
ones, by their votes to decide the
question. 1 advise that the matter be
left in allegiance until you are petitioned
by the taxpayers Of the city with
satisfactory number of signatures, to
go ahead with the work.
when this is done the first move
should be the obtaining of an
abundant supply under condl-
tons that will be safe and
satisfactory and to this end ad-
wise the employment of a skilled engi-
neer who is conversant with such work.
Fire Department.
"Our fire department is inadequate
to properly serve a city of the size Of
ours. Some day, if we do not enlarge it.,
we are liable to be wiped off the map
entirely. Our city covers approximate
ly four square miles. We have our fire
station situated near the center of the
business district. This station has one
fairly good engine and one old, out-of-
date machine to which it is not safe to
attach more than one hose.
"When a fire occurs in the residence
portion of the city the department is
useful in saving adjoining property,
but usually arrives too late for any,
thing else.
"Gentlemen I recommend the estab-
lishment of another station in the
eastern part of the city or the removal
of our present department near the
center of the city, until such time as
we can depend upon a gravity water
system.
81 request that during the coming
year you see that the city gets value
received for every dollar expended. See
that every bill rendered against the city
is properly audited, and that rigid
economy is practiced in every depart
ment, consistent with the public well
fare, see that every municipal en-
ployee does his duty cheerfully and
honestly.

BUSINESS GOOD ON THE RURAL ROUTES

Postmaster Brunton has just COM
pleted his quarterly report ending
June 80, 1906. The total receipts were
s7.648.91. This is a trif1e less than
the receipts for the last quarter, but
taking into consideration that the past
three months were the dull period Of
the year, the showing is very satisfac-
tory. Estimating on the business done
during the last year, by March 81,
1907, the end of the fiscal year, it is
believed that the receipts will reach
the sum of $4,000, which will leave
the office only $4,000 below the first
class postoffice mark. When the re-
ceipts for year reach $4,000 the class
of the office will be advanced.
Rural Route Business.
Carriers on the rural routes out of
Walla Walla have filed their reports,
which have been compiled and for
warded to Washington by Postmaster
Brunton The total number of pieces
of mail delivered during the month
of June was 1859, while the num-
Der collected was 1879. The reports
were as follows:
Carrier No. delivered, 7246; col
letced, 1855.
Carrier No. 2.-Delivered, 5107; col
