A Long Record.

This week closes 80 years of service for
II. A. Blake as correspondent for the
CALIFORNIAN. Referring to the changes
that have taken place during that time
the writer has only to say that changes
by death and removals have been fire.

deeds have been recorded by the town
clerk the past year and in the seven years
and five months that the writer has been
town clerk large part of the real estate
of the town has changed hands, some Of
it even two and three times. The GALE
DOMAIN, too has changed in these years
and one no longer meets at the office {.

A. F. Lawrence district deputy, and
Mrs. Lawrence visited the Grange Satur-
day evening. The third and fourth de-
grees were worked for three candidates,
after which the usual harvest supper
was served to between so and 60 men,
bers. -Four applications for membership
were received and committee appointed

There seems to be quite a call for hay
in this place and every day loads of it
are moved from one place to another.
1t now looks as though hay would be
well used up when winter is gone.
The town clerk has received the ballots
for vote on the license question, and it is
hoped that the voters will cast the lar

One ofthe most frequent and annoying
conditions that beset humanity is
Catarrh of the Bile Ducts. There are
severallttle ducts leading from the Liver
and Gall Bladder that unite into one
main or Common Bile Duct" which
carries the bile and other fluid into the
intestines. When there is a Catarrhal
condition of these ducts the whole system
is affected and all kinds of mean feelings
are experienced. Ordinary liver pills and
powders fail to relieve this condition. An
eminent physician, professor in
Columbus, Ohio, Medical College wrote
the prescription from which Rydale's
Liver Tablets are made, and they never
fail to relieve this very common condi-
ton, For Biliousness and Torpid Liver
they are without an equal. One dose

Our Disappearing Forests.

Not until We pause and consider
that our reproduction of forest trees
is so sadly neglected that We cut
each year three times the annual
growth; not until We realize that
each year 125.O00,O00,000 feet OF
lumber is cut, cut which means
over 10,0O0,00o.000 a month, over
100000 feet day and over
100000 feet each Of the twenty
four hours of the day; not until we
remember that by our tariff laws We
are keeping out reinforcements to
protect our timber supply from ex-
haustion do we begin to realize the
appalling fact that the sands which
number the hours OF our forests are
falling fast; that from the snow-clad
hills OF northern Minnesota TO the
sun-kissed shores of the Gulf, from
the wave-beaten rocks Of Maine to

steel OF the tree butchers axe Is ring

AS a rule, winds from the east
quadrants and falling barometer in
dicate foul weather; and winds Shift
ing to the west quadrants indicate
clearing and fair weather The rapid
ity OF the storms approach and its
intensity are indicated by the rate
and the amount in the fall OF the
barometer.
The indications afforded by the
wind and the barometer are the best
guides we now have for determining
future weather conditions. AS low
barometer readings usually attend
stormy weather, and high barometer
readings are generally associated with
clearing or fair weather, 1t follows
that falling barometer indicates pre-
cipitation and wind, and rising bar
ometer, fair weather or the approach
of fair weather. AS atmospheric
waves or crests (areas Of high bar
ometer) and troughs or depressions
(areas of low barometer), are, by
natural laws, caused to assume cir
cular or oval forms, the wind direc-
tions with reference to areas Of low
barometer, are spirally and contra
clockwise inward toward the region
of lowest atmospheric pressure, as
indicated by readings of the bar
ometer. Areas OF low barometric
pressure are, in fact, whirlwinds of
greater or less magnitude and In
tensity, depending upon the steep
ness OF the barometric gradient. The
atmospheric crests, or areas Of high
barometer, on the contrary, show
winds flowing spirally clockwise out
ward from the region of highest bar
ometric pressure.
The wind directions thus produced
give rise to, and are responsible for,
ali local weather signs. The south
winds bring warmth, the north winds
cold, the east winds, in the middle
latitudes, indicate the approach from
the westward Of a low barometer, or
storm, area, and the west winds show
that the storm area has passed to the
eastward. The indications Of the
barometer generally forerun the
shifts of the wind. This much is
shown by local observations.
During the colder months, when
the land temperatures are below tn
water temperatures of the ocean, pre-
cipitation will begin along the sea-
boards when the wind shifts and
blows steadily from the water over
the land without regard to the height
Of the barometer. In such cases the
moisture in the warm ocean winds Is
condensed by the cold OF the conti-

, mental area. During the summer
months, on the contrary. the onshore
winds are not necessarily rain winds,
for the reason that they are cooler
than the land surfaces and their ca
pacity for moisture is increased by
the warmth that is communicated 20
them by the land surface. In such
cases thunderstorms commonly occur
when the ocean winds are intercepted
by mountain ranges or peaks. If,
however, the easterly winds Of sum-
mer increase in force, with falling
barometer. the approach Of an area
Of low barometric pressure from the
west is indicated and rain will follow
within a day or two.
From the Mississippi and Missouri
valleys to the Atlantic coast, and on
the Pacific coast, rain generally be-
gins on falling barometer, while in
the Rocky Mountains and Plateau
districts, and on the eastern Rocky
Mountain slope, precipitation seldom
begins until the barometer begins to
rise, after fall. This is true as re-
CARDS the eastern half of the county,
however, only during the colder
months, and in the presence Of gen.
eral storms that may occur at other
seasons. In the warmer months sum-
mer showers and thunderstorms us
ually come about the time the bar
ometer turns from falling to rising.
The fact that during practically the
irn fnit 70 hn
western plains and in the mountain
regions that lie between the plains
and the Pacific coast districts does
not begin until the centre OF the
low barometer area has passed to
the eastward or southwark and the
wind has shifted to the north quad
rants, with rising barometer, is an
important one to note.
In meteorological work, as con-
Quoted by the United States Weather
Bureau, observations, simultaneously
taken, are collected by telegraph from
great areas, and it is possible by this
means to calculate for several days
in advance the local signs that will be
produced by the general conditions
that are presented. In other words,
modern meteorological appliances,
methods and skill make possible fore
casts OF the conditions that produce
the local signs that presage weather
changes. Furthermore, it is practical
ble by the employment of present day
methods, not only to forecast general
weather changes, but also to calcu-
late with great accuracy the course,
intensity and duration Of storms.

Belt Made of 225 Steer Hides.

Washington State boasts the larg-
est leather belt ever made in the
world. The hides of herd OF 225
steers were required to furnish the
material from which the big endless
belt was built. Only the centres OF
the hides were used. and each OF these
was stretched for weeks to insure
perfectly even strength in all parts
of the proposed belt. The belt Is ia
feet long, three feet wide and three
ply thick. The weight OF the belt is
something more than $500 pounds.
Not a peg, rivet or fastening OF
any kind was used to weld the pieces
OF hide together. The best quality
of cement was used and the places
where the hides overlap welded by the
weight of hydraulic press bearing
$50 pounds pressure TO the square

Chicago. Oct. 5.-Chicago defeated
Detroit 3 to 1 in the opening game
of the final series here yesterday,
making it just possible for the local
team to win the American League
pennant
To do this. however, Chicago must
win the two remaining games with
Detroit. while Cleveland loses one
game with st. Louis
BY reason of the Cleveland-St.
Louis tie yesterday. these teams still
have three games to play. BY win
ming all of them Cleveland would get
the pennant regardless of the out
come of the Chicago Detroit series
BY winning one of the remaining
two games from Chicago. Detroit viii
win in the event that Cleveland
drops one to St. Louis. The outcome
of yesterdays game. therefore. makes
the finish of the American League
race narrower and more exciting
than ever.
President Comissy said that the
attendance of yesterdays game was
the largest which had ever been
within the South Side grounds.
The victory for Chicago was re-
markable in that Chicago scored ali
of her three runs in the first inning.
WITHOUT even tne senDlanCe OF MT
In fact, Chicago made but one hit
during the game. Ground rules were
established, making hit into the
crowd good for two bases, but the
scant hitting did not require it's ap-
plication.
The game was n pitchers battle
between White of Chicago and Kill
liam of Detroit. who let the victors
down with one hit but lost the game
as result of bases on balls and err
rors behind him.
