CLUSTERING EAST
 LOSS OF CROPS
In Country Between Rocky Noun
 tains and Mississippi River

Frank Matley returned yesterday from d three months tour of the east taking in Kansas City, St Louis, Chicago and cities in Nebraska and the country adjacent to them. lie found things in d bad shape, crops utterly ruined by the drouth. And what little escaped that visitation in Kansas and Nebraska is being dcVoured by grasshoppers and chinch bugs All through the country the corn. out in tasscl but without ears, is white and dry. Rain even now would not save 1t. aeftE
 There is a very short wheat crop throughout that entire region and that much was saved by the early rains and the heavy mantle of snow Cf last winter which left much more moisture in the ground than usual.
 Not only has there been an absence Of rain but most of the time through out the summer the weather has been extremely hot. At Kansas City last Tuesday the thermometers showed IA degrees. The nights bring no relief
 Mir MatIey met several Phoenieians al different points of his tour. They were on business and he said that %H of them were hurrNIng thelr al- fairs so as to get out of the swelter- ing heat and return to the Salt River Valley.
 The stockmcn everywhere have suf- fered severely Trainload after trainIoad of stock cattle are being rushed into Kansas City because there is nothing on the ranges or in the feeding pens for them. He met one man who early in the season had bought q large lot of cattle for feeding purposes but had to sell them at a loss of 5000.
