PRECIPITATION | { NOW EXCEEDS 20 ! /. YEARS NORMAL
Rainfall in Bisbee Since Jan uary First 11.S6 Inches; Inch Over Aver
 age

With the month of August half gone and the end of the summer rains therefore approaching, the total rain fall in Bisbee thus far for the year 1912 is Il.Ss inches or a little more than an inch over the normal fsr this period as ngured from the aver ages Of twenty years past. This is largely due to the fact that precipi tation in July was considerably greater than the normal for that month, 1.6 inches, but the meteoral- Ogical record is highly satisfactory since the rains of the year have come at the right time as is witnessed by the verdure that cloths the mountains and the hills and the fine appearance of ranges and ranches out in the low lands.
 January. February, April and May have been below the normal in pre- cipitation this year. March, June and July are in excess and thus far, up to yesterday morning August is slightly behind As obtained from J. c. PTitchard, local weather observer, the record this year thus far has been January .O3. February 1.30, March PAP. April 06. May co. June 55, July 5.34 and August PIG. If the average or past years shall be equalled in rainfall for the balance of the year 1912 the total would be 1923 inches which is an inch and a quarter above the average obtained from obserya- tions in past years, 17.96 inches. That average has been exceeded only seven times in the past twenty-wo years.
 Not only has rain fallen this year when it has been most needed, but there have been no really severe rains to cause damage and property loss. that of last Sunday evening be- ing the nearest approach to flood con ditions. Winter snows melted more slowly and the country was in better than usual condition to meet the dry months Of April and May. Thus indi- cations are for more than usual pros perity 10 the cowmen and the ranch CTS of the county, especially the for mer who are able to obtain the high est prices for their cattle.

The following statement relative to the placing of new seats in the town hall building was given out Monday night:
 When arguments in favor of pur- chasing the town hall building were being made, one of the strongest ap- peals was on the ground that it could be made a paying investment. It was held that the stores and halls could be made to return a satisfactory interest on the investment each year.
 After the purchase the boards of se- lectmen that have been elected have regularly followed out the suggestion. They have improved the building in various ways, making it so inviting to tenants that the yearly revenue is at least one-third more than when the town took it over from private indi- viduals. There has never been any open objection to this policy of better ment and improvement in the town hall building, and believing that said policy was approved by the absence of crit icism, the present board of selectmen in deciding to equip the hall with fold ing settees, not opera chairs, were only following out their usual proceed ure of regarding the town hall as an asset that should be so treated as to make it show to its best, as has been done with other parts of the building.
 Cost of settees Reasonable.
 It may be stated that the contract price for the new seats is S672, less per cent. for cash, and delivered in the hall. The money that can be obtained for the old settees will materially re- duce the cost of the new seats
 It may be stated that the extra reve- nue now being obtained from the lease of the hall over what the amount was under private ownership warrants the improvement. The hall before the towr owned the building was leased for con. siderably less sum than the presen rate of $425 a year. this exclusive o town and temperance meetings, eau cuses and political meetings, for whicl there Is no charge.
 improvement Will Increase Revenue.
 The selectmen have in purchasinl new seats for the hall treated thi | phase of improving the building exact | ly as they have in making othe | changes therein. If the hall is to con | tinue to produce it's share of revenu from the building 1t is felt by tn board that the new seats are neces sary. If revenue from the hall in tn future is not especially desired 0 wanted, the seats could, of course, b dispensed with but in contracting fo the seats the board was only followin out the generally approved plan previ ously outlined-that of putting a rentable parts of the building in a wa to earn the greatest income
 The members of the board have n personal interest in the matter. (Signed)

NOTHING LESS THAN
 TEN PER CENT. FLAT RAISE.
Strikers Present UItimatum to Mill Officials-Other Side Equally Firm.

The strikers committee called at the k office of the Windham Silk company Monday forenoon and found President Frank I.arrabee and General Manager Charles Fenton there. The officials were informed by the committee of the action taken at the mass meeting of the strikers held Saturday evening. A short conference followed, but without result.
 The committee then went to A. B. s. hall and made their report to the strikers. The strikers committee said Monday that the reason why they did not care to give out anything rela- tive to the conference or the mass meeting held Saturday was that they believed that they should first report the result of the mass meeting back to the Windham Silk company's offi- cials. Now that they had done so they did not hesitate to issue, through | their press committee, a statement of | the facts in the case. They said that the company, through its directors, had offered the weavers a five per cent raise, not fiat raise, however, but an increase here and there in the goods manufactured.
 Az the meeting Saturday evening all the Neavers were present even those
 
 temporarily, and they voted unani mously to reject the proposition offered by the silk company.
 It was then unanimously voted to notify the company that the weavers would accept q ten per cent. flat in- crease and nothing else. In order that an agreement might be reached and for the benefit of all concerned the weavers were willing to accept ten per cent. instead of the fifteen originally sought, out they would not return to work for any less an increase than that
 The press committee said that Pres ident Larrabee had informed their strike committee that the company could not afford to grant a ten per cent. increase. as the conditions did not warrant it. The company could get the work done elsewhere cheaper than that. The company might as well go out of business as to give the weavers the ten per cent. flat increase in wages.
 The weavers say that the company ] understand that they are firm in their demand for the ten per cent. and will 1 take nothing less. Mir. Reagan, who represents the American Federation of ! Labor in this city, told the weavers | that they would have the financial 1 backing of all the labor organizations 1 in New England to fight their fight | to the end. This means that the weavers will receive their weekly ben 1 ehts as long as they remain out from l the labor organization with which they
 are connected.
 President Frank Larrabee stated
 Monday noon that he did not care to 1 say anything. When asked if there
 would be a meeting of the directors of the company this week he replied that he did not know of any at present.
 When questioned as to the outlook for
 a settlement of the situation he said l there was nothing to say.
