There are some persons in the county
making it their business to create false
iL"pressions with regard to the matter
of authorizing the loan ora portion OF
the surplus funds in the treasury, for a
purpose not intended at the sine the
tax was paid. The trouble is with such
people. they have a-dog-in-the-manger-
spirit. and cannot conceive of a high
motive AT the proper time and place
the reasons for the use OF this surplus
money will be given by the author OF
the legislation. Let it suffice for the
present 70 say, the money is to be used
in the public service, and there will be
40 room for the little ticky politician
to make capital to catch votes.

MARCH RECORD OF
RAINFALL IS SHORT
LOCAL WEATHER BUREAU MAKES
STATEMENT
Only .1s Inch of Precipitation for the
Month-But Same Period In
1885 Had Just .o1 Inch
to Its Favor

Despite the fact that 1t was Aprifs
Fool day yesterday. the local weather
bureau issued its monthly reports as
usual. A. b. Wollaber did not take
any risks with "long-range" prophecies,
seeing that the date was a suspicious
one, but he gave out the following
facts concerning how the bureaus IN
struments had been cutting up in the
past.
The report for March contains the
following interesting data:
There were sixteen clear days. seven
partly cloudy and eight cloudy.
w. ID. Fuller, who has charge of tax
ing the observations of the various IN
struments. estimated that the average
temperature for the month was:
Maximum, 6S1 degrees; minimum,
47.S; mean, 5S.
The precipitation of rain during the
month was .1S inch, the rainfall being
distributed as follows.
March 4, .O1 inch (keeping up the rec
ord of Inauguration day with little
rain) March 6, .01 inch; March 20, .Ol
inch: March 26. .12 inch.
The highest humidity was SO degrees,
while the lowest was "a degrees.
The highest temperature occurred on
March 10, when the thermometer reg
stered So degrees. and the lowest was
40 degrees on March 5. The greatest
daily range in temperature was 81 de-
grees on the 10th of the month, and
the least was degrees. on the 18th.
The mean temperature for this month
for thirty-one years is 81 degrees.
Although the total precipitation for
this month this year was only Is inch.
yet the past shows much less frequent
y, March, 1885. having but .01 inch pre-
cipitation, although last year had II
total precipitation for March of 4.12
inches.
The average precipitation for this
month for thirty-one years is S.07
inches. The total precipitation from
September, 1907, to March 81, 1908, Is
1926 inches. The deficiency in rainfall
from September /, 1907, to date Is 2.95
inches.
The prevailing wind was northeast
ana the total movement 3S10 miles.
There was a light frost on March /.
2, 3, 5. Z. and 9. but no killing frost
during the month.
A. b. wollabersand w. d. Fuller have
compiled the following data on the
month of April for the period OF the
past thirty years, but they say that
this must not be construed as a fore
cast of the weather conditions for the
coming month:
Normal temperature. so degrees; the
warmest April in this period was in
1885, with average temperature of 63.
while the coldest was in 1896. with Sc
degrees.
A peculiar thing happens concerning
the highest temperature of any April
in that period. 90 degrees being record
ed twice, on April 13. 1888, and on April
IS, 1S9S The lowest temperature was
on April 8, 1901, SO degrees.
The average precipitation for the
month is 1.07 inches. the greatest
amount of precipitation recorded in
any twenty-four hours being 2.99
inches, April 1917, 1908.
The average number of clear days is
II; partly cloudy, 12; cloudy, 6.
The prevailing wind is from the west.

Paper Company Pays Dividend

NEW YORK, April 1.-The directors
of the International Paper company to-

is a reduction of half of 1 per cent from
the previous quarter.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-04-02

As the clock in the big dining hall
of the Y. w. c. A. struck 1920 yes
terday. the clear notes of bugle call
were heard, and every one of the sew
eral hundred girls present came to
attention as the assembly was
sounded. and with pomp and cireum-
stance. war was declared.
The contest will be bloodless one,
but il promises also TO be one of the
most hardly contested in the history
of the association, if the opening eX-
ercises of yesterday can be trusted as
an augury Captained by Miss Gladys
Dewitt and Miss Emma Rosa. each
company consists of ten lieutenantS
and ninety regulars, and they are out
for members Sealed orders, deliV-
cred to each captain, were signed by
Miss Cora L. Tathum, commander-in-
chief. and read: Faith is the victory.
The captains saluted. the yells were
given. and then Captain Rosa para
phrased the immortal Mare Antony
as follows:
"If there be in this assembly any
dear friend of the Red Rose, to her L
say that my love for the red rose is
no less than hers. If then that friend
demand why l work against the red
rose, this is my answer: Not that |
love the red rose less, but that | love
Ine White rose llOIt. NOulu SOu idlil-
er serve the red the flag of danger,
that will lead you to an ignominious
defeat, or follow the white on to a
glorious victory?
"As ] love the red rose [ weep for
it, as it is beautiful I rejoice in it,
but as it is dangerous 1 fight it,
Captain Dewitt, speaking for her
company, said proudly THE Red Rose
does not need anyone to speak for it
it speaks for itself"
Miss Edith Dewitt, who had given
the bugle call on her cornet, played
the "Star Spangled Banner" as a call
to arms, and the exercises were over.
AS evidence of the earnestness with
which each member is entering into
this War of the Roses. the following
story is told of one of the captains:
She has been wearing a hat of the
colors that for a month will be the
emblem of her enemies, and so she
bought a new hat and crowned it with
roses of the color of the one under
which she has enlisted.
