Weather Bureau Highly Valued.

Denver.-Emerson Hough's article
in Everybody's Magazine for May, in
which he attacks the Weather Bureau
and tries to show that it is badly man
aged and unreliable, does not seem to
have touched responsive chord in
Colorado. The office of the Rocky
Mountain district of the bureau, at
Denver, of which Frederick A. Brand
cnburg is director and forecaster. is
recognized throughout the state as a
highly useful and almost indispensa-
BILE institution. During critical weather
i.s forecasts are sharply watched and
are frequently of great value, especial
ly to farmers, fruit growers and stock
men. Everybody knows that weather
forecasting is not an exact science,
but few severe storms or heavy frosts
come in Colorado without timely
warning in the weather predictions.

GREAT DANGER
FOR ROOSEVELT
FEVER BREEDING CLIMATE.
SLEEPING SICKNESS AND
TREAcHERoUS GUIDES
ARE MANIFOLD
CATHOLIC BISHOP FROM AFRICA
DOUBTS IF ALL PARTY
WILL RETURN.

New York.-Bishop Hugh MacSher-
ry, the Roman Catholic prelate from
Africa who is visiting in Brooklyn, is
of the opinion that not all of the Roose-
welt hunting party will return to this
country alive, and that Mr.. Roosevelt
himself is running a great risk. He
says:
THE sort of places that the party
must so through to get at the game is
against Col. Roosevelt The climate
itself constitutes a danger. There are
swamps, breeding malaria, and low
lying places generally. There is dan
ger of fever. He may get the sleeping
sickness. Then he will never come
back. This lays hold of whites as well
as the blacks.
THE natives are treacherous and
they are indispensable as carriers and
guides. They have been known to de-
sert their parties and run away. The
cause of this is superstitious fear.
What would happen to Mr.. Roosevelt
and his companions IL they were thus
treated? They would not know their
route in a wild country, and they would
be unable to carry alone their camping
outfits and food"
Mr.. Roosevelt is just the sort of a
robust man that would succumb among
the first.
Il would not like to predict any
mans death, but | fully concur with
the opinion of Prof. Frederick Starr,
of the University of Chicago, that it is
highly probable not all the party will
return alive" continued the bishop.

counts missionaries have given me. |

mine was killed there two years ago

gerous of all the animals. My friend,
who was surveying, was son of AL
exander Wilmot, legislator of Cape
Colony.
wild beasts-especially the rhinoc-
eros-the treachery of natives, bad wa
ter, dysentery, sleeping sickness,
smallpox, malaria and enteric fever
are encountered in equatorial Africa.
Il should like to think that he would
profit by all the information that has
been placed within his reach. | should
be very happy to think that he would
have the advice of n local physician.
"Of all the dangers, perhaps the
worst is from the wild animals. l as
sure you this part of Africa is not like
n geological garden. Lions. tigers and
rhinoceroses abound. The fact that
Mr. Roosevelt wears glasses will CON
stitute very considerable element of
danger No matter what trials of his
aggressiveness, they would be required
to be continued up to date in order
that the great activity of his previous
life as Rough Rider should stand in
his aid now"

Hjoh Price of Wheat.

We hear good deal of unnecessary
talk nowadays about the increased
price of bread but as yet we have seen
nothing of the kind, for the loaf is

the farmers who have forced the prices
up. Unreasonably high prices of
wheat at this time of year may even
prove disastrous to the growers, be-
cause it may drive foreign buyers
away from our markets and cause them
to open trade relations with other
countries, with whom their dealings
may continue in future years. If these
high prices had occurred while the
farmers still held their wheat they
might have gotten some benefit from
it, but as usual most of the crop had
passed into the hands of the middle
men and the gamblers did the rest
