STILL a MYSTERY

The mystery of the shooting Of Joseph
Dagenais of Lakeside in the back, the
Fourth of July has not been cleared up.
and the chances seem to be that it will
never be known who fired the shot which
narrowly scaped hitting two women and
buried itself in Dagenais' shoulder. The
theory now Is that 1t was IA spent bal,
although 1t was not so much spent but
that 1t became imbedded in the shoulder
blade of the victim at "A depth of two
inches, Had It struck either Of the wom-
en- in the head 1t would undoubtedly have
resulted fatally. DR.. Baylles examined
the wound yesterday and found there
was no infection, 1t was thought best to
let the wound close and not attempt to
remove the ball as an operation might
involve some more serious consequence.

USUAL NUMBER ARE
NOW AT RESORTS

The height Of the summer vacation
season is now here, and the usual
number of residents of the valley are
Mt the mountain and coast resorts.
1t was an open question whether so
many people would go out this sea-
son, but the railroad and stage records
leave little doubt of it.
1t probable, however, that the ex-
periencc of last year will be repeat
ed this year in an early resumption
of active business. The fall will ush-
er in the season in which the colon
lists arc to come to the state to view
the expositions, and there is no doubt
that the people Of the valley will find
so great activity early in the season
that they will rushe home to partici-
pate in it.
Another factor which will hasten the
return will be the cotton crop, which
will be earlier than ever before known,
ard picking will begin as soon as
pickers can be obtained The gins
will start work ccrlier than ever, and
there win be great activity in this

SUMMER WEATHER
is TRUE TO TYPE

When the sun spun out 10 de
grees of heat yesterday it apparent
ly thought it was doing the real stunt
to shove along streak of humidity
that was so near complete saturation
that . few drops of rain fell this
morning. Yet nobody here had asked
for that sort of a combination, and
e. general protest that was raised last
ed through the night.
Possibly that had something to do
with the fact that today the maxi
mum was but los, which was ample
for az domestic requirements.
Yec this summer IS pretty close to
type. The opinion prevailed in the
valley in earlier years that June was
month of dry heat, with mercury
at highest point for the year. But
June has now become very salts
factory month, with but very few hot
days and with cool nights.
During the latter part of July hu-
mid weather was expected, to con-
tinue through August, but the humid
ty has been coming earlier in recent
years, and sometimes it is accompanied
by showers about this time of the
month. When the showers come. so
early they do great damage to the
grape crop, which has thus far been
avoided this year.
Conditions today, however, are fa,
voraEle to rain, which is possibility
at anv tine. Clouds have hung about
during the day.
This combination of heat and hu-
NIFTY is signal for everybody to
u.ax the tension of life little, and
this is generally followed by the Older

BRITISH FORTIFY
AGAINST AIR CRAFT

/ London, July "a sensation was
sprung by the British government of.
fcials here today WREN the announce.
men5 was made that the entire coast
of the British Isles is to be dotted
with a series of huge towers, in the
near future, for the purpose of estab-
hshinE an absolute defense against
attacks by air craft in the event of
war Each tower will be armed with
two ;&pid-firing guns of a special de-
sign, powerful enough to destroy the
craft cf the most daring sky pilot.
Every naval station belonging to
Great Britain will be protected in a
simila, manner, being completely ely
clcd with the towers armed with the
destructive guns. Two of the import
ant stations which will receive imme-
diate attention are located at Ports
mouth and Rosyth. Other points
which would suffer under the attack
of IN air fleet will be guarded by the
tower guns.
1t IS belief of those who launched
the idea of the huge towers that the
solution as to how air crafts of war
may be prevented from carrying out
their purpose has been found The
presence of the towers as proposed
will act in the same manner, appar-
entity, as did the great moats of old,
through which ran swift flowing
streams of considerable depth, pro-
tect;ng the castles of the royal fami-
les from attack by the enemy. In
those days the bridges which crossed
the moats were drawn when the ene-
my approached and because of the
swiftness of the streams it was al
most impossible for human being
to undertake to swim from one side
to the other.
The guns on the more modern
moats, towers in the air will ward
off the advance of air craft of every
iescriT ton and their design will make
it possible to pick off the machine
as though bird on the wing. re-
gardless of the rapidity of travel.
