WEATHER CONDITIONS.

Showers and occasional thunder
storms from the north Pacific coast
and the northern Rocky mountain sec
lions to Minnesota and western Iowa
have resulted from an area Of low
pressure which overlies the territory
from western Canada to Arizona and
New Mexico, with the greatest barom-
etric depression over Alberta. At
Rapid City, S. D., there was a down
pour of 1.64 inches. The eastern low
is disappearing beyond the coast of
New England, and relatively high
pressures prevail from the gulf to
the lower lakes, with fair weather
from the Ohio and lower Mississippi
valleys to the Atlantic coast. Owing
to the relative positions of the south
eastern high and the northwestern low,
generally fair weather is indicated for
