Weather Prospects Good.
The weather bureau will make no
official forecast for Saturday. Tn
officially however. the forecaster says
the prospects are very favorable for fair
and moderately cool weather Saturday.
In fact. there is practically no prospect
of rain.
I'VE have little reputation to lose the
forecaster remarked. but what We have
we decline to stake on the weather prob
abilities for Saturday. However. there is
nothing In sight at the present time to
warrant the prediction of anything but
fair and cool weather Saturday
New Lights Placed.

stalled on 9TH street will be turned on
