 The humidity ranged abnormally low over the entire Territory. At Flagstaff and Yuma, the least deter minations were 10 per cent and per cent respectively. Grasshoppers have appeared in large swarms over the northern counties, where entire fields of grain and vegetables were destroy ed. They have been quite numerous over the central counties since May 9th, last. The departures in precipi- tation for the last week were as fol- lows: Tt Flagstaff 0.30 inch; at Phoe- nix, GOO, inch, normal; at Yuma 900 inch, normal.

The ranges in temperature were as fol- l lows: At Flagstaff, maximum tenn perature, S6 degrees, on the 11th; minimum temperature, 42 degrees, on the 18th; at Phoenix, maximum, 109 degrees, on the 18th; minimum. 6S de grees, on the 11th; at Yuma. maximum l los degrees, on the 12th; minimum, 64 degres, on the 11th.

Vegetation 1 is quite well advanced over the north ern or mountainous, section of the | Territory The Weather Bureau of fcial at Flagstaff reports large quan- titles of snow visible upon the north ern exposures of the peaks of the San Francisco mountains at and above the 1 S000-foot level.
 While there was no apparent de l crease in the supply of water served | for purposes of irrigation in the larger canals, crOsScutS, laterals and ditches, the volume of water in the streams of the southern section of the Territory was appreciably less than the preced- i ing week. In some of these localities the supply will hold out for few weeks only; and, unless the summer
 rains do not come soon, the serving Of
 water for stock, irrigation and culinary purposes will become serious prob 1 lem. There is a bountiful supply of
 water over the northern portions Of the territory The snowfall was prac- tically disappeared over the upper
 catChment basins of the Salt and Gila rivers. There is 11 estimated depth of
 24 inches of snowfall over the more
 elevated peaks of the San Francisco range.
