SPRING WEATHER DUE
SOME TINE THIS WEEK
Forecast Lacks Degree of Positive.
ness to Carry Real Cheer,
However.

Ii the indications on which the wealth
er bureau based its weekly forecast
issued today. do not fail. and if no flare
backs or similar conditions develop, and
if Medicine Hat behaves itself-and if
spire-some actual spring weather may
reasonably be expected here or hereabouts
this week. .
The forecast lacks that degree of
positiveness necessary to carry real cheer
and assurance to the minds of those who
have grown tired of seeing winter linser
in the lap of spring. There is nothing to
indicate marked storm activity the fore
cast says. with degree of caution doubt
less engendered by repeated arisings in
the chill, gray dawn to find fine, feecy
mantle of wholly unexpected snow on
the ground. These adventurous recur-
rences of polar conditions, resulting in
the piling up of almost eighteen inches
of snow during this much of the month
of March, have taken a great deal of the
cocksureness out of the men over at the
weather bureau who prepare the weekly
and daily forecasts.
There will be frosts, they say, early IN
the week, in the east gulf states, the
south Atlantic states and in fact all over
the Seaboard, with the exception oil
southern Florida. A moderate disturbance
moderate, that is, SO far as can be de-
termined at presents due to appear
away up in the northwest about We'd
nesday or Thursday, crossing the middle

the end of the week. Present indications
are that this disturbance will be attended
by local areas of precipitation, follow
ed by cooler weather along the northern

MT. RAINIER CITIZENS
HOLD RECORD MEETING
Discuss Installation of Water and
Sewerage System in the
Town.
Special Correspondence Of The Star.

MOUNT RAINIER, March %, 1914
The Sabbath meditations of citizens
here were disturbed yesterday by con-
sideration of the matter of the installation
of water and sewerage system for the
town. The largest citizens meeting In
the history of the municipality was held.
over which Mayor Vanneman presided.
The meeting was called by Mayor Vanne-
man to ascertain the wishes of the peo-
pie regarding methods to be adopted for
raising funds to pay for the water and
sewerage plants proposed to be installed.
Some weeks ago Delegate r. Lee Van
Horn OF Prince Georges county introduced
a bill authorizing the mayor and common
council of this place to issue bonds in
the sum of 100000 This bill provided
for a special annual tax of 30 cents on
the 500 for the purpose of paying the in
terest on the bonds and maintaining the
sinking fund for their retirement. Later
a delegation went to Annapolis and sue
ceeded in having the bill amended as
to provide for the front-foot plan of as
sessment, and in this shape the bill went
to the senate.
Senator Holmead of Prince Georges
county was asked not to allow the bill to
go through with the front foot amend
ment. and he agreed to hold it UP until
he could learn the sentiment of the peo-
pie as to which method of paying for the
improvements was desired. At the meet
ing yesterday all voters favored the front
foot plan and not a single vote favored
the levying of a tax upon the assessable
basis of the town.
Delegate Van Horn was present and
outlined the progress of the bill through
the house.
A. W. Hawk declared that the bill
had been tempered with. and asserted
that the bill would not have been held up
without some pressure being brought to
bear upon Senator Holmead.
Front Foot Assessment Adopted. .
The meeting also resolved on motion
Of w. II. WEIGH, that the bill should be
further amended to provide that corner
lots should be on an equality with lots
located in the center of blocks, so far as
the assessment was concerned. The mo-
ton to adopt the front foot plan was
made by A. w Hawk
Dr. Harry Nalley offered a proposition
that the people should be given an OPP
portuni<F to express their choice at the
special election to he held Tuesday, April
81 as to which method of taxation they
desired.
The bill amended and now before
the senate provides for Z: one-hundred-
thousand-dollar bond issue, the bonds
to be i'll sums of not less than $500 nor
more than 81 600 each. At the expiration
of three years from date of issue 5000
of these bonds shall be redeemable, and
annually thereafter $1,000.
Should the people ratify the bond issue,
"a sewer and water commission" to be
composed of four members, one from
each ward in the town. is to be named
by the mayor, this commission to have
charge of the installation Of the works.

NEW PRINTING HOUSE
FOR NATIONAL CAPITAL
Anti-Saloon League to Issue Daily
Paper and Other Publica-
lions Here.

Washington is to have new printing
plant. according to announcements of the
Anti-Saloon League, and officers of the
organization are now endeavorinS to pur-
chase a suitable four or five story build
ing here to house it. In connection with
the project. a new daily newspaper is to
make its first appearance in December
the day the next session of Congress con-
venes.
The announcements come from Wester-
vile, Ohio, the publication office of the

at that place today says, in part:

Nav Reduce Cost of Living.

That there is a silver lining to every
cloud. however, is apparently true, even
when the clouds persist in dumping loads
of snow where one would prefer to see
crocuses and tulips abloom. Soil eX-
perts of the Department of Agriculture
declare the heavy blanket of snow that
has fallen since ground hog day means
reduction in the high cost of living
during the coming Though long deferred)
summer. Practically all of the snow.
they say. that has fallen has been melted
by the sun and has seeped into the soil,
there to remain IS a supply for crop
utilization during the summer. The dis
appearance of the snow has not been
accompanied by rains, and the thawing
has been so gradua as to permit the
water to remain in the soil rather than
to run rapidly away. Furthermore, an
inch of snow which melts gradually over
a field is worth ton of fertilizer; and,
in addition to this, winter wheat, rye and
other crops, having been blanketed and
protected from hard cold during much
of the late winter. are certain to produce
greatly increased crops.
Iii fact. the experts confidently predict
bumper crops over the greater part of
the country for the coming summer, and
bumper crops. they say, mean that prices
are bound to be lower. With wheat, corn,
etc. selling at a more reasonable price
feed for cattle and hogs will be cheaper
which will bring about reductions in the
price of meats, while the increased crops
Will bring the farmers just about as much
money as they would receive for smaller
crops at higher prices.
However, the householder who has
worn out his snow Shovel and who is
scraping the bottom of the coal bin finds
a certain difficulty in remaining optimis-
tic. Bumper crops and lower cost of liv-
ing, he says, are in the future, while the
coal bin is empty right now.
