DRY SPRING HERE.

DRY SPRING HERE.
This was the driest spring the In.
land Empire has known in years. 1t
was the driest month of June Spo-
kane has experienced in 80 years,
according to the United States
weather bureau.
This condition of drouth has hit
the wheat, oats and vegetable crops
of the Inland Empire hard-espe-
cialiy the great staple, wheat. The
extent of the damage cannot be as
yet definitely determined, as boun-
tiful showers at this late day would
be of great service in still making a
good showing.
While the crop may be short
there will still be wheat. The win
ter wheat has not suffered nearly
so much as the spring wheat, which
in the great Big Bend country is
pretty short. Winter wheat has felt
the drouth, too, and in some regions
of the Palouse the winter wheat has
suffered more than the spring
wheat.
The apple prospect is good, but
some other lines of fruit are short.
In western Montana, where hard
wheat is grown. the climatic condi-
tons vary from the Inland Empire.
Reports from that region say the
wheat outlook is promising.
POSITIVE DAMAGE TO CROPS
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, July A.
Positive damage to the northwest
ern wheat crop throughout unpre-
cedented drouth and great heat
blast that extended over nearly all
the last half of June Is now admit
ted. Estimates from various por-
tions of the spring wheat territory,
including Minnesota and the Da-
kotas, place the damage at from %
to so per cent, with a majority of
the reports approximateing the
smaller figure? The principal dam
age is in the Red river valley, the
largest and richest wheat producing
territory in the country. Further
west. in the newer sections, there is
apparently less loss. Corn, oats and
barley are in much better shape
and will not begin to deteriorate for
10 days more. even il the drouth
should continue. What that was
very late in planting Is so far along
that it could not produce a good
crop even If the rains were soon to
come.

UP WITH THE BIRDS.

Johnson was up with the birds
this morning and was quite as
clipper. His indelible smile was.
right on the Job and from his an
tics one would have thought that
he was preparing to start on a pig
mic. Whatever his sentiments Will
be tonight, there was no question
about it that today broke as the
most longed for in the life of the
dusky champion. Whatever ex-
.perts and critics may think, there
is not shadow of a doubt that in
Johnson's mind the thought of de-
feat was entirely eliminated. .

morning was all hustle and excite

Shortly after rising he INDUCED

sexes, and for several hours John.
son remained in view, that all who
desired might have a look. What
ever else may be said Of johnson,
there is no denying that he is sur
charged with that unfailing good
nature and chronic optimism which
has come to be most closely asso-
ciated with the old-time southern
darkies.
Late In the afternoon, after the
camera men and moving picture
people had their final shot at him,
Johnson retired to his quarters, and
guard was thrown about the
place to keep away all but the
small coterie of close friends who
had been elected to spend the
might before the battle" with the
dusky champion.
SECRET TALK WITH DELANEY.

Billy Delaney took johnson to
room for half hours secret
conference and final review Of
the plan of the fight. johnson
has all along promised a sensa-
ton for those who have been
expecting him to run away from
the big grizzIy's rushes, and 1t
would not surprise me In the
least were he to carry the fight

Of William Sweet & Co. OF Denver,
known all over the country, was in
La Junta last week looking for bonds.
He wanted to know OF Treasurer
Dawley how many bonds Otero coun-
ty has outstanding.
"All told we have just $500 out
standing and IL the bondholders want
their money we can pay them today"
answered Dawley. That astonished
Mr.. Sweet. Then he wanted to know
something about the tax sales. Mr..
Dawley opened the books and showed
him that the total tax sales for last
year amounted to less than $5, 500 and
that over half of this had already
been redeemed.
"Why that is the best showing

afternoon.
Tuesday evening while going to the
barn to do the milking, Mr.. Langridge
