THt FINAL DECREE

1t Establishes Claims and Provides for the Sale of the Property.

A decree was entered yesterday by Judge Kent in the case of the Detroit Trust company and James Davidson, trustees, against the Eastern Sugar company and others. The other de- fendants are mostly other creditors against the sugar company. The suit was begun in the first place to compel the payment of the bonds of the sugar company. The plaintiffs as trustees, are given Judgment for s94s.55 with interest at six per cent on sS9S.636 66 together with costs amounting to s92.1G. The judgment is a prior and superior lien on all property of the sugar company on April 15, 1903.

 Former Chief of Police

Salt Lake City, Feb. 27.-Not guilty of receiving a bribe was the verdict rendered today by the jury before which the late chief of police. George Sheets, has been on trial. Two men convicted of taking $1OOOO from a pair of tourists in a pretended raid on a pre-arranged poker game. testified that the chief of police connived at their swindling operations and shared the loot. So warmly was the charge pressed by Sheets political opponents that he resigned his position. He was the first crief of police under the American party.

GROWING BARLEY IN COLORADO.

Barley adapted to most sections
Of Colorado. 1t makes its growth

other grain crops. This particularly
fits 1t for dry lads of the plains
as the moisture of the early spring
is often sufficient to mature a fair
crop before the summer draugh. Bar
ley natures in the short seasons OF
high attitudes.
The yield on the plains is from 10
to 40 bushels per acre, depending
largely upon earliness of seeding,
preparation of the soil, and selection
of seed.
Barley ripens in many sections of
Colorado at attitudes as high as 5000
feet. In Gunnison county, on a farm
at an altitude of $500 feet. barley has
ripened every year without fail for
thirteen years.
In the lower irrigated sections, the
average yield per acre is so bushels.
and often runs as high as so to 100
bushels.
According to the U. S. Department
of Agriculture, the average yield of
barley, per acre, in Colorado, for the
past five years, has been the highest
of all the states east of the Rocky
Mountains.
According to the same authority

Observations have resulted in the
knowledge that relatively warm layers
Of air exist between the extreme cold
of the surface air and the extreme cold
of the outer limit of atmosphere, and
these layers are known. as inverse lay
ers. Actions of low and high barom-
eterss. are as yet a mystery to the
weather bureau, as in the case of the
other day when a low from the North
west travelled eastward to Chicago,
where it was met by a low from the

by the various weather bureaus, but
though taken in the afternoon, were
called o'clock observations, as it was
believed that in the region above 1900
meters diurnal variation in tempera-
ture could be safely neglected.
e As an example of the beneficial re-
suits Of definite knowledge Of what is
going on in the upper strata, suppose
that a low pressure storm center is
forming just above the surface air.
Low pressures are of a cyclonic nature,
and were the observers able to discov-
er this pressure while it was forming
they would be able to warn the COM
munity tover which it was settling. AS
it is at present, if the layer is peaceful
the observer has no way of knowing
what is happening up above. If sufi-
Gent knowledge Of the upper air cur
rents could ssbe obtained it would be
possible to forecast a season together
with detailed forecasting from day to
day.
One of the most useful discoveries
at the beginning of the kite flights was
the direction of the wind in the upper
layers, showing the marked tendency
of south and east winds to shift to the
right at increasing attitudes, the alti-
tude at which the shift occurs being
generally below 1890 feet. The depth
of the several air layers having differ
ent directions is also of the greatest

The depth of currents which belong
to the circulation of highs and lows

of easterly winds the attitudes attain
ed by such current we're found to be
generally less than 1000 feet, although
one observation showed northeast
winds prevailed from the earth's sur.
face to an altitude of 1886. feet. This,
however, was an exception. In south
winds the average depth was found to-
be 1852 feet above the station, the
maximum depth 1881 and the mini
mum S49. feet. In the case of winds
between north and east the average
depth in six cases was 3,O33 feet and

by an anti-cyclonic or high pressure
whose center was directly north of the
observatory. While it seems probable
that the winds up to at least two miles
above the earth's, surface respond to
the barometric gradients observed in
the lower, strata, this is by no means
certain and will require further in
vestigation.
The following general conclusions
have been drawn from the kite data so
far collected: The air column in the
low is warmer than that in the high:
the region of greatest cold is found in
the southeastern quadrant of the high:
as the center of the high crossed the
observatory and passed to the east
ward temperature conditions aloft be-
came more or less unstable, diversions
taking place and the rate of decrease
of temperature with the increase of al
titude diminished.
AS will be seen, much valuable
knowledge has been acquired by the
kite experiments, but much more is
still to be learned, and this is the rea.
son the government is hard at it every
day in the year.
