SMALL GRAIN HARVEST vIGoR'
OUSLY P~USHED-WINTER

Des MONIES. July 2s.-For the week
ending July 81, 1908.
The average daily temperature ives
about normal; the daily departures
ranging from plus one degree in the
eastern to minus one degree in the
western part of the state. The rain
fall was generally below the normal,
and the sunshine was excessive. me
weather was generally fair, but light
and widely scattered showers occur
red over the larger part of the state
from Tuesday to Sunday. Heavy rains
fell Sunday night in the central and
north central districts, and especially
in the upper Des Moines river valley,
as shown by the following telegraph
ic reports, viz: Boone, 1886 inches;
Fort Dodge, sos, and Baskerville, 2.10
inches.
The bulk Of an exceptionally large
crop of hay has been secured In good
condition. The small grain harvest
has been vigorously pushed, and is
new nearing completion in southern
districts. Threshing returns indicate
a light yield, and fair quality of oats;
the yield ranging from 10 to Is bush
els DC acre. Winter wheat and bar.
ley show good quality and average
from 20 to 35 bushels per acre. Con.
ditions have been favorable for corn
but rain will be needed soon over q
large part of the state If the rapid
growth Of the past three weeks is
maintained. Potatoes and pastures are
still in good condition.

o WAVES
Ten Days Of B%olsterous Weather Be-
tween July rs and August B.
Excessive Heat Followed
by Cool Spell.

Ten days of boisterous weather"
says Mr.. Foster. Get our your storm
clothes or stay in out of the wet for
we shall in all probability have storms
galore during the coming week.
This disturbance will bring the
most severe storms of the month
and tempestual weather will be the
rule" continues the prognosticator OF
weather events. Extremely hot days
will precede the storm period, stirring
the weather to such an extent that a
very cool wave will result. The com
plete forecast follows:
Washington, D. c., July 25.-Last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance
to cross continent 20 to "a, warm
wave 10 to 23, cool wave % to rs.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about rs, cross Pacific slope by
close of ~, great central valleys %
to 80, eastern states 81. Warm wave
will cross Pacific slope about rs,
great central valleys %, eastern states
80. Cool wave will cross Pacific
slope about 20, great central valleys
81, eastern states August 2.
This disturbance will bring the
most severe storms of the month and
tempestual weather will be the rule.
in many places on the continent, from
July rs to August 8. This will make
ten days Of boisterous weather.
This rough weather will be pre-
coded by one Of the hottest hot waves
of the summer and the air will be so
thoroughly stirred up by the storms
that very cool weather will result and
the ten days, July 25 to August 3, will
| average cooler than usual.
The electric and dangerous storms,
predicted for the week centering on
July 13 indicates that my calculations
on severe storms are reliable.
First disturbance of August will be
a northern storm and will cross
British Columbia and the Pacific slope
about 8, Manitoba 4, northern central
valleys 5 to 7, eastern states s. Warm
wave will cross Pacific slope about 8,
great central valleys 5, eastern states
Z. Cool wave will keep we'll to the
north and will cross Pacific slope
about s, great central valleys s, east
ern states 10.
This disturbance will be most
severe on the Pacific slope about
August 8. 1t will not be of much i'm.
portance east of Rockies, tempera'
lures will be low in northern sections,
low in south till about 5 and then con-
tinuously warmer till about IL when
a series of disturbances will pass
through southern states causing cool
err weather.
Indications are that temperatures
of August will average above normal
west of Meridian IS and about normal
east of that line. From Houston, Tex,
to Quebec, Canada, and within 100
miles of that line rainfall of August
Is expected to be about normal. East
of that line dry and west of 1t wet
but not excessive in northwest.
Indications are that no boom crops
will be produced this year but all the
crops will be fair as an average o.
the continent. No great failure is ex
pected.
Cotton crop weather will be gener
ally more favorable than during
earlier part of season but a large
crop cannot he expected. Corn cror
cannot be above the ten year aver
age and the Chicago prices will prob
ably continue between go and u
cents.

TAFr,s ACCEPTANCE SPEECH.

The speech of Judge Taft in answer
to. the formal notification of his nomi-
nation for the presidency on the Re-
publican document, which is published
in full in this issue, is a straight for
ward and manly discussion of the is
sues before the people today which
should win approval for the Taft can
didacy. At the outset Judge Taft sets
aside the charges that he is OF re-
dictionary mold by endorsing %unequiy-
ocally the Roosevelt policies and by
declaring that the chief function OF
the next administration is to complete
and perfect machinery by which these
| higher standards of business morality
and obedience to law were enforced
by the government under the Roose-
welt guidance.
Mr.. Taft makes 1t plain that he
agrees with President Roosevelt as to
the necessity of restraining unlawful
trusts with all the efficiency of the in
junctive process and that the per
sons engaged in maintaining them
should be punished with all the
severity of criminal prosecution in
order that methods pursued in the
operation of their business shall be
brought within the law But ne holds
that ITO destroy them and to eliminate
the wealth they represent from the
producing capital the country would
entail enormous loss and would throw
out OF employment myriads OF work
ingmen and working women Such
a result he holds to be wholly un-
necessary to the accomplishment OF
needed reform, and would infict upon
the innocent far greater punishment
than upon the guilty.
He contrasts the provisions of the
Democratic platform. which he says,
does not propose to destroy the
plants of the trusts physically, but
proposes to do the same thing in a
different way" This different way
Is the Democratic plank which pro
poses to take off the tariff on al
articles coming into competition with
those produced by the so-called trusts
and to put them on the free list. III
such a course says Mr.. Taft, would
be utterly destructive of their business
as it is indeed, it would not only de
stroy the trusts, but all of their small
Ter competitors.
Mr.. Taft takes as firm a stand or
1.-The labor question, and he is az
strong in approving the rights of la
Dor as he is in stating his opposition
to acts that have been declared I'm
lawful by the courts.
There are no meaningless platitude'
in the Taft speech, and no attempt:
at o~ratorical flights. 1t is a plain
straight, forward statement Of the can
didate's position on the questions nov
before the American people which car
: ries conviction with it.

SHIPPERS Can
COMBINE LOTS

Washington, D. c., July 2S.-The
interstate commerce commission to-
day decided that shippers might COM
bine small quantities of freight Of
various ownership either by arrange
ment among themselves or through
the medium of a forwarding agency
and ship the combined lot at re.
latively the lower rates applicable to
large shipments. The commission al
so issued a statement to the effect that
without waiting for the fling of formal
complaints it will institute an in
vestigation on its own for the purpose
of determining whether or not an ad-
vance in freight rates is justified.

On Wednesday, the 29th of Jan
usry, We present to the public the
only lecture Of this seasons course
Some of our friends advised us
against giving any lectures what
ever. But we were and are of the
opinion that the Gunnison public
will bs glad TO attend lectures, if
they can be assured that the lee
turers are rhen of exceptional pow
srs. Having this in mind, we
secured one man, which we are in
formed and believe is the best in his
class. This ia Prof. MAYNARD Lee
Daggy Of the University of the state
of Washington. He gives us An
glo-Saxon Grit, scholarly presen-
tstion of the growth and develop
ment of the American citizen
In order to secure full attend
ance which this excellent lecture de-
serves, we make a special rate OF
single reserve tickets at fifty cents
each We have also in mind the
fact that this is the first entertain
ment of our course in this leap year
and that possibly number of young
ladies will desire to take their best
fellows and think one dollar is
enough to spend on any young man
As this is a lecture the usual rate of
thirty-iive cents for children will

Resolutions, unmistakable in tone
were unanimously adopted at the
second days = session Of the Amer
can Livestock association denounc-
ing abuses TO which the stock men
of the country are subjected by
existing laws and asking that the
wrongs be remedied.
President Mackenzie faced a
body of very earnest men when he
called the convention TO order 1t
could BE- plainly seen from the dis
cussion aud questions asked the
chief Of the bureau Of animal in
dustry, who had come ON from
Washington, that the audience was
composed of those who not only un.
derstood, but who had seen life on
the range.
Perhaps the most important action
was that of unanimously indorsing
the bill now pending in congress
introduced by Senator Culbertson Of
Texas. The resolution on this sub
ject had many 'whereases," but the
substance was that stockmeh are
tired of the manner in which a
great interest has been treated by
the railroads. The shortage of cars
has crippled the shipment Of cattle
to an alarming extent and has ac-
cording to a preamble, injured this
industry many million dollars,
and conditions are growing worse
year by year. The bill requires rail.
roads to operate all cars that are
necessary to make the shipments
and imposes penalties for failure to
supply sufficient cars.
Another important declaration
was against the raising of rates by
railroads, except by the permission
OF the interstate commerce com
mission which when an application
to increase is made. is required to
notify all parties in interest and
give them an opportunity to be
heard.
There was pronounced opposi-
ton to movement to change the
government inspection by putting
the charges against the producers.
The convention decided to favor the
contin uation of the present practice
on the ground that the fees had to
be paid by the consumer
