The southwestern low pressure area has drift ed slightly to the southeastward of its position at that time and is apparently developing secondary center toward the lakes.

Snow was fall ing in Colorado Saturday night, and rain was reported as occurring at Dodge kans., and Oklahoma City at p. m. saturday.
 It was raining also at Atlanta. Louisville and many of the Atlantic coast states and raining or snow at many lake sta
 lions at the same hour. Cloudy and un-
 settled weather with local rains is incl

 Rising temperatures occurred over most of the gulf, lake and Atlantic coast re- gions Saturday. Somewhat colder wealth CT prevails in the upper Missouri valley, where the readings are from 10 degrees above zero to the freezing point.

ROOSEVELT IS NOW | B|G MARKET FACTOR
Daily Developments Will Have Much Weight
TALK OF MONEY TRUST
Street Pleased With Information Re- ceived That Taft Will Sign no Tariff Bills Passed By
 Democrats
By ". G. NICHOLAS

New York, February Especially Mir Roosevelts open candidacy for the nomination has made him a live factor in the stock market. Prices will be in- fuenced more or less by the ebb and flow of sentiment and belief as to his chances, and then as to what will happen should he be either nominated or defeated in convention. It is realized that he has in his following an intractable element, which might fly off at a tangent and re- fuse to be reconciled to the nomination of any other man to head the republican ticket. Already the possibility is being discussed of MT. Roosevelts defeat in convention, or before the convention meets and of the organization of third party, of irreconcilables and the radicals and "highbrows' of every other party in the field. It is an interesting pros pect, and one which is likely to gain in piquancy until developments throw a clearer light on the situation than is now afforded by action by states and localt- ties. The immediate effect of MT. Roose- vet's announcement that he has thrown his hat into the ring is disturbing. The stock market has been needing something to startle it into action. The ingredient has been supplied. It is now up to the spectators to do the guessing as to the effect whether it is to be short-liNed and ifeverish or continuing throughout the remainder of the presidential cam paign.

 MT. Moss declares that reservoir No. was infected with colon bacilf and accepted index of contamination, but pr Mason holds that the water Is free from any infection. In the report just submitted Dr, Mason says the bacterial counts range from 100 to 250. This implies this much less than those reported in the tests made by the state official. The water infection scare was started when 30 cases of typhoid fever were reported to the city department of health and sanitation. All surface closets have been ordered abolished.

In one sense the inspired news from Washington for the last few days has ben rather quieting. It has been to the effect that there will positively be no tariff revision by this Congress; that the President has made up his mind definitely to veto any bills which may be put up to him having democratic origin. The re- ports are flat footed that the administra- tion has decided on nothing but scientific revision" and that that kind of revision cannot be borne in the lower House of Congress while the democrats are in con- tro. Only the brand sprnging from MT. Taft's personally appointed tariff commits sion can fill the bill.
 If these reports be true. and they come in such way that Wall street believes in their accuracy, and authorization, then 1t would appear that Congress will be vast ing it's time in doing antyhing else be- yond passing appropriation bills and at tending to the necessary routine legis- lation for carrying on the machinery of government. The tenor of Washington ad- vices gives the people in the financial dis tricts hope that Congress may realize the inevitable and go home before the meet ing of the conventions in June. It must be confessed, however, that those experienced in Washington ways, and who are in a position to make safest predictions, do not encourage the theory of an early adjourn ment. Congresses have fallen into the habit of returning to the seat of govern ihent after national conventions in order to play little politics.

Another thing which has tended to soothe the nerves of the hnanciers In Wall street is the refusal of the House majority to engage in a Wild Bill blood and thunder raid on the money trust Not that there is much danger of un- covering anything tangible as result of any such raid, but Wall street is extremely sensitive to unnecessary spot light notoriety just at this juncture. It is not usually modest and rather en- courages publicity, but there IS such thing as getting too much or the de- sirable. Even Wall streets gluttonous appetite for attention is surleited. The practical operation of the alleged money trust would in all probability be found 10 be entirely within the law, and to con sist merely in passing the word along the line that certain enterprises and certain individuals are unsafe and unde- sirable, and that prudence demands their avoidance.
 Certain great banking interests of certain persons of standing and in- fuence decide to turn down enter prises that do not fiji the require ments or that may not be considered well managed. Knowledge of this de- cision spreads among the big men or the financial world and others follow the lead of those who made the or iginal investigation and reached the unfavorable decision. Candidates for money and favor who are thus turned down conclude that they are victims of a conspiracy, whereas It is case of the lending community of hundreds or thousands of men acting on the Judgment of leaders of acknowledged sagacity and experience. Such re- suit is unfortunate for the victims, but there is no law which can compel cap ital to go where 1t doesn't want to- or to refrain from following the lead of the kings of finance in whose judgment they have learned to repose confidence. Men come into the stock market in whom the gambling instinct predom- mates: they are rich and reckless and become disturbing factors--"undesir- ables." Naturally their credit Is not of the highest and when their quick col- lateral runs thin they are liable to extingulshment. When the tide goes against them they go broke or re- tire crippled. The history of Wall street is full of such cases. especially during the last 10 years.

There is something of a let down in the demand for bonds. although there is still plenty of money available for investment in that field. Money rates are being held up by main strength. and large amounts of American capital are finding their way into the foreign markets. The United States is today the greatest international lender in its history. It has more money and credit in tine old world than ever before.

In the institute soon to be

forget that it is yours and not
the instructors. So a large de-.
gree of its success depends on
you Individually; the conductor

nor with the help of only few
interested teachers. You will
find what you come to fnd-that
and very little else. The aim of
the Instructor is to help you to
have a practical, and, at the
same time, an inspiring meeting.
earnestly ask your cooperation
in securing this end.
Yours sincerely,

Another touch Of picturesqueness
comes from the great Indian reservations.
We have the Zunis and the Hopis, and
they are fascinating tribes in many ways.
though their snake dances and other
rites give one a creepy feeling just to

splendid and Is in use in nearly every
Arizona household. The rugs and mats
are more difficult to procure. The Indians,

much profit as may be. Consequently
they have abandoned their ancient meth
