The OBSERVATORY
THE WEATHER

little ravines, which looked like bars
of brilliance stood up on end against
the mountain side. 1t was the boom
year in Utah cities; land prices were
soaring; one Bishop | knew sold the
major portion of his corner lot for
enough to build fine brick cottage
for his aged wife, she being canny
enough to refuse signing deeds till
her portion of husband
promised to do this for
her; and it was a fellow bishop who
bought this property at the crest of
the boom, which soon after breaking
and going out left him to hold it for
some years and then sell for about
half the price he paid.
Building was going on with mad
rush, as the city was crowded with
people hunting for homes and loca-
lions for business. Some contractors
late in December thinking the fair
weather could not last, strung wires
over their buildings in process of con-
struction and with abundance of cleo
trio light worked gangs of men ali
night.
Christmas came and went; the
newspapers were saying mo early
snow in the mountains; the only
snow that lasts into the following
summer; if our last summer was hot
what will next summer be with no
irrigation waterw And laments we're
heard on all sides; the same weather
lasted through January till almost the
first of February, and then the spell
broke; for the next six weeks there
was an average of snow storm every
other day; and most of it came wet,
rolled and slid, packed, froze, then
turned warm again and more wet
snow, till everybody was saying "Well
now, this is true again of our climate,
that the unexpected always happensp'
And it came about that the noun
tains had above the average amount
of stored snow, and during the next
season Salt Lake and Utah valleys
had all the irrigation water needed.

| wish the oldest inhabitant
would begin writing us letters telling
us when we last had as dry aud dusty
a spell as this we are now having. No
soaking rain since-when was 1T?
Back in April? Those June rams
were refreshing, but as ranchmen well
knew they did not soak even the top
of the ground. And now many roads
which are usually good are cut into
ruts and each passing vehicle raises
cloud of dust. The homes on the lee
ward side of well travelled roads have
been kept filled with dust. The lack
OF rain has given no fall sprouting OF
grass in the sage brush, and one con-
sequence is that those who live near
the sage brush wastes are over-run
with jack-rabbits; one ranchman VINO
had a young orchard well started,
surrounded with rabbit-wlre to keep
the pests away in winter, discovered
a few days ago that wire-gatcs having
been left open for passage OF teams,
the rabbits had found their way
through two or three fields from the
brush, gotten to his orchard and al
most every apple tree ruined by the
bark being lnawed from the ground
UP. We are told that eternal vigil
ance is the price of liberty; it IS also
the Price Of an orchard in Idaho.
The summer of 1889 was excessive
ly hot in Utah, was told, being my
self in the east till late August; one
old-timer Of that state told me he
would not stay in the state in the Salt
Lake valley through another summer
heat; he said: Il would rather flee the
country and abandon my property
than endure another such heated
term"
| remember that through Septem-
Der to Christmas we had just such
fall weather as we are now having
here in Idaho; MINDLESS days, hazy
atmosphere, and all along the western
slope of the Wasatch mountains glor
ious patches of brilliant color from
the stunted naples which filled the
