Weather Conditions.

The large area of high pressure
which remains over the north Pacific
and the Rocky Mountain states con-
tinues to give fair weather with clear
skies to the western half of the United
States. A movement of the high area
somewhat southwark has given tenn
peratures below zero to southeastern
Idaho and Wyoming and a drop in tenn
perature over the southwest and the
plains states. A low area moving from
Texas to the north Atlantic states has
been attended by rain or snow in the
Ohio valley and the Lake region and a
rise of temperature on the Atlantic
slope. The indications are for con-
tinued fair weather in this vicinity to-
night and Friday without much change
OF temperature.
