Subject of Prime importance.

Weather Is the one topic Of CONVEX
sation that never grows out Of date.
We are almost al nearly at the mercy
Of the sunshine, the rain and the snow
storm as we were a century ago.
Therefore we always scar the sky
when we get up in the morning. It Is
almost instructive, even with the city
dweller. No farmer fails to take a
long look at the sky when he first
rises, for on the weather will depend
his activities during the day.

Chances of Adjournment Seem Even More Remote Than on Saturday night When Senate Was Held By Two Filibusters.
HOUSE THREATENS
 TO STAY ALL SUMMER
Will Not Be Forced to Yield to Chamberlain's Demand for Payment of Oregon's Claims. President Also a Sufferer.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArCHl

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25-A few score weary members of congress and the president of the United States were confronted by an unprecedented gov ernmental condition today following last nights prolonged and fruitless struggle to adjourn. The outlook for tomorrow's session promises an even more chaotic condition in the struggle for adjournment.
 Disguised at the failure to end the session many of the senators left for home today and it is believed there will not be a quorum of the senate when it is called to order tomorrow. The hOuseleaders, too. are satisfied that that body will be forty members short.
 Two filibusters in the senate, one engineered by La Toilette to insist upon the adoption of the resolution to make an investigation of the Standard OH campaign contributions and the other to compel the house to accept a resoiu- ton providing for the payment of $60O,OO in old state claims, were the cause of adjournment. The house leaders say they will fight Chamber lain until December if necessary. Either of these filibusters hOlds trouble for any plan of adjournment.

PRESIDENT TIED DOWN.
It May be Weeks Before he Can Take
 His Vacation.

WASHINGTON. Aug 25.-The pres idents plans for leaving Washington were indefinite tonight as those by congress for an adjournment. As the general deficiency bill is pending in both houses it seems impossible that he can get away for the next few weeks He hopes, however, that all necessary legislation will be passed to- morrow and an adjournment come then, as he is anxious to get to hls summer home at Beverly.
 The president told his friends today that he expected to keep only few of his more important engagements after leaving Washington. He made It clear that he does not intend to enter into any stumping campaign of any sort. He said he would practically talk no politics during his vacation un- less some political chums visit him at Beverly.

 The courier reported that the two rebel leaders now have 900 men in one army. They are selecting the best horses and killing the ohers.
 It is believed now that the federal force is available that can prevent Orozco's entrance into Sonora. It ap- pears certain that the rebels will pass through ColOnia Morelos and the neighboring Mormon settlements in Sonora. Fearing this, a courier was sent from Douglas Arizona, today to warn the Americans of the approach of the rebels.

 For more than generation he has been encountering antiques but the ether day he came upon the most interesting of all, wall probably of q house of the people who lived here passed away without leaving other record of themselves than such as Mir. Patrick is engaged in accumulat- ing.
 A man in his employ was digging a post hole when he came upon what seemed to be rock, a couple of feet beIOw the surface of what is the highest spot of ground on the ranch It seemed to be a natural mound. The hole was sunk at a corner of the supposed rock whose edges gave way from it in two directions. The attention of MT Patrick was called tC it and he directed that an explora- ton be made along each side of the rock The trenches thus dug, led apart at right angles. One of them was dug for a distance of about forty feet and the other for about thirty. That measured the area of the en- closure.
 The wall was made of bricks of caIeche which are almost as hard as rock It was evidently a wall of d house, showing that the level of the country has been greatly changed in the course of generations. At regular intervals openings were found, for windows doors.
 The other day while blowing, the ploWshare turned up something a little redder than the reddest com mercial paint MT. Patrick had ever seen The share had cut through a little bowl containing a dry paint something like that with which the Indians of this region now ornament their faces. It is perhaps the same kind of paint and, if so, it is the only thing so far found directly con meeting the present with the forgot ten past
