dearth of school teachers in the
country districts for the next term as
there was last year. The applicants

high sierras. The snow line is far
down. The last storm added to the
heecy mantle considerably. Of course
the recent snow is loose, and will

warm weather. Still the outlook is
bright for an abundance of water for
mining and power purposes the COM

this form is far greater than last
year. Some of the cattle men have
been up surveying the country with a

reported that one band of sheep has
already been driven to the mountains,
and is snow bound by the late storm.
