LONG DROUGHT is

Thunder Shower Marks End of
Many Days of Unprece-
denied Weather. 5

Twenty three days OF continuous
drought came to an end early last
night, when sharp thunderstorm
swept over Richmond. carrying clouds
Of dust In front, before the welcome
drops OF rain cleared the atmosphere.
The rain was not much-Just a promise
of what was TO come-but II marked
the end OF the dry seasonal most un :
seasonable one for the latter end or
May Light showers followed the
storm from time to time, gradually
which continued through the greater
part OF the night. The Weather Blu
reau predicts fair for to-day. with
clearing weather on tho coast
Not only was the farmer demanding
rain and predicting famine. but the
huckster was suffering mutely while
his early vegetables dried up. The
dust-laden city was as thirsty for a
shower ms the country. Streets were
washed and sewers flushed for the
first time in month
The Weather Bureau report yester-
day showed a ten-milc wind during
most OF the day which tempered the
warmth OF the day as shown by Their
mometer records. The temperature
at noon was So, at o'clock SIS and
the highest point reached in Chimbo-
razo Park was 90. The Kiosk, as
usual. rejecting street conditions.
showed several degrees higher. The
mean temperature OF the day was rs.
or degrees above normal.
Four Inches Short.
Apropos OF the breaking OF the
drought by the first severe thunder
storm of the season. Weather Director
Evans calls attention to the fact that
there is Shortage In the amount of
rainfall since January from the
normal expectancy OF al inches.
Farmers would like to have about an
inch of this shortage delivered at
once, and the balance on demand. In
easy night rains. at intervals for the
next thirty days. The thunderstorm
came exactly according to schedule.
Dr. Evans had predicted It. But the
rain that accompanied the lightning
has hardly more than whetted the
thirst of the dry old earth as yet,
and the message from city and coun-
try to Dr. Evans to-day is to please
repeat the dose.

HOT WAVE IN
EAST BRINGS
HICH PRICES
Vegetables are SCoaring In Kansas
City and st. Louis Markets.
Supplies Scarce.

Kansas City, June 14-Prices of
potatoes and other vegetables went
soaring here on account OF the con-
tinued dry weather.
Potatoes were 50 bushel in car
load lots. Retail grocers sold them
for 60 cents peck. The normal
price of potatoes this season OF the
year is rs and 80 cents a bushel.
Peas, that usually sell for cents
quart, are selling for IS cents.
Cue mbers sell for 10 cents each.
Usually they are 81 bushel at this
time of the year.
Beans, lettuce and other vegeta-
bles are bringing record prices.
The record-breaking heat wave
of the past fortnight has had the
effect in st. Louis and practically
throughout the Mississippi valley Of
boosting prices on produce. fruit
and berries approximately so per
cent. AS an instance, new potatoes
which sold a week ago at 81 a bu-
shell wholesale. yesterday were
quoted by commission merchants at
s1.75 and We're scarce.
The only cheer in the situation
is the announcement that water
melons. peaches and canteloupes
promise to be plentiful, of excel
lent quality and cheap, with the
early crop beginning to arrive.

GREELEY AND THE MAP

The following letter from X. S.
RubIe, assistant general passenger
agent Of the Union Pacific railroad,
10 relative to an editorial in the
Tribune June last, calling atten-
tion to the omission of Greeley
from the maps on the local time
cards.
This editorial was written at the
instigation of business men who
are members Of the Greeley Com
mercial club. They held q meeting
At which the time cards were dis
cussed. While no action was taken
other than to appoint committee.
1t was urged that the most direct
way Of calling attention to the Omis-
sion would be through the Trib-
une. Feeling that there might be
two sides to the question the Trib-
une handled the matter in light
er vein. suggesting that il it prov.
ed to be serious the Commercial
club might consider ii at a special
meeting and take some action in
the premises.
The letter, in full, follows:

Agent U. P. r. R. Co.,

siderable regret the editorial

corrected in our next issue OF
