If this summer, so far, is a critic
rion, not only the distribution Of the
rainfall. but the humidity of the at
mosphere,is changing in this region.
1t is known to every old settler that
the precipitation that formerly ran
off of the burned prairie almost as
it would run from sod roof now
goes into the ground to a large eX-
tent which has caused the water i'm
many of the lakes those not fed by
living springs to lower greatly or
dry up. 1t is also known that, while
the Bismarck wea,her-station rec
ords do not show that there has
been an increase in the rainfall, it
is fact known to every one who
has been here more than a few
years that it rains oftener than it
did in the eighties and nineties. In
other words. our rainfall is being
used over and over again" each
season, whereas formerly we gener-
ally got the whole thing in two or
three down-pours This summer
has been remarkable for the unusu-
al number of hot days and nights.
A few years ago there We're never
more than three or four hot nights
during a summer, and there were
seldom more than two on three hot
days in a row Is it not possible
that the warm, soggy, humid wealth
er we have been having is due to the
constant local evaporation Of moist
ure from the soil, that we did not
have when large part Of the prai-
RE was burned every year. and there
were long stretches of unbroken,
sparselysettled land to the south,
the west and the southwest of us.

While we have had some abpor-
mally hot weather here this summer
for country supposed to be ON the
ragged edge of the north-pole re
gion. we haven't had such bad
dose as some Of the other sections of
our Uncle Samuel's dominions, az
the following Kansas City dispatch.

There seems to be a general dispo.
sitlon i'm all sections Of the state to
observe the game law in letter anG
inspirit. True. part of this unusual
goodness may be due To the fact that
a few breakers of the law have al.
ready been arrested and heavily pun
lshed. But, whatever the cause
our state exchanges all call attention
TO the fact that everybody seems
strongly pronounced for no killing
OF game until the lawful season
opens on the seventh of September.
Throughout North Dakota the alb
olltlon of spring shooting has had a
beneficent influence toward increas-
ing the number of game birds, and
there will undoubtedly he some good
hunting during the coming autumn.
However. there have never been
more than u few people who would
not have been glad to have seen the
game Jaws strictly enforced. But
any one individual. Knowing his
neighbor was hunting or was in
tending to hunt illegally, would lac.
gin the unreasonable slaughter. and
then another would do likewise. and
finally a majority of neighhorhood
unless sharp eyed and fearless
game-warden lived hard by would
be appearing in the character of
sooners. But Il different spirit
seems to possess the hunters this
year, and, if we mistake not, there
will be little sympathy shown any
where in the state TO the game-hogs
who attempt to get the better of the
laW-abiding by going into the fields
before the open season begins. AS
one man who likes to hunt said to
the writer the other day: II would
inform on my brother if | should
catch him out killing prairie.
chickens before the season opens. .
