SOUTH IN GRASP
 OF SEVERE HEAT

A moderate heat wave advanced slowly eastward yesterday across the Great Lakes and the upper St Law

 i to degrees.
 The following temperature readings were reported yesterday. Chicago, "A degrees; Green Bay, 72; Toledo. 70;
 Buffalo. "A: Boston. "A; Montreal, "A.
 The Ontario depression has moved
 far beyond the range of observation. The northwestern secondary disturb ance coursed slowly southwark to Wis consin and Iowa, having produced light to heavy showers over the Missouri and upper Mississippi valleys, and the up per lake region.
 Another mild storm center has made it's appearance over British Columbia and Alberta from the north Pacific ocean The cool wave accompanying the high pressure area located over
 Washington, oregon, Idaho and Mon tana has caused temperature depres- sions of to 14 degrees over the Rocky
 Mountain region and the Missouri val ley
 The Arizona Mexico atmospheric de- precision shows no progressive move
 ment. The depression, has. however, in connection with the Wisconsin-Io Iowa
 disturbance, formed a barometric trough extending northeastward from Arizona to Wisconsin. which is caus- ing heavy showers of the lower Missis- sippi and lower Arkansas valleys. The highest temperature recorded yesterday was S2 degrees at Galveston and New Orleans. The lowest was 4O
 degrees at Calgary. The skies were ob- scured over the lower Mississippi and lower Arkansas valleys and the Pacific coast. Elsewhere the weather was clear during the entire day. Foggiless pre- vails at San Diego and Duluth. High

 And the history of the man who was primarily responsible for the un- dertaking and successful completion of this giant task is as remarkable as the tas kitself.
 The builder is Ralph H Cameron, now a delegate in Congress from the Territory of Arizona. It is a far cry from a builder of trails to a seat in Congress.
