WAVE OF EAST TREPORTED
 MOVING WEST
LRepubiIcan A. p. Leased wIrel

WASHINGTON. July PA Der muda high" is the official cause of the worst heat wave that has enveloped the country in fifteen years. Translated from the cryptic language of the weather sharps that means a great area of high pressure air has been massng on the weather drill grounds in the Atlantic off Bermuda for the last month and now has let go the full power of it's offensive from the seaboard to the Rocky mountains
 For weeks it has stood like a solid wall against heated currents trying vainly to move out Of the interior over the ocean and now as il swirls rapidly along it is gathering Neat and mois- ture from the tropics and sweeping them northward over the continent into the vacuum of so-called low pressure areas" Although it's greatest intensity has not yet struck the Pa clfc coast. 1t is expected to do so within the next few days.
 No relief is promised from the phe- nomena which in the east has caused sweltering city dwellers 10 light fires
 in their homes to dry out the humid ity or which in the Mississippi valley Is threatening to destroy millions of dollars worth of food crops Chief
 Forecaster FTankenfield said today that the heat wave only had begun. IL
 is certain to continue through the week and probably longer. None of the con ditions essential to a breakup are yet evident. The relief which often comes from the northwest is nowhere in sight
 During all this month ForecasteI Frankenfield says the huge body of | high pressure atmosphere has been gathering over the western Atlantic from Florida to Newfoundland and east
 to the Azores. It is very heavy in height and thick in dimension. Heavy air always flows to a place occupied by ! light air but unfortunately, there is at present an area of light air in the trop- 1 ics When the heavy air arrives there l it finds there is still lighter air over tho continent So it moves north in af
 enormous sweep, burning hot from thu 1 tropics and heavily laden with -sef | borne humidity. It is distributing this heat and humidity over all the con tinental United States in what officials call the Bermuda high"
 The air in the middle west is be coming much heavier and it may form | a local center where the air currents | will clash in a series of thunderstorm
 affording speedy relief through a read l justment of the areas of high pressure

PASSES
 APPROPR TAXATION
 BILL FUR ARMY
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. July 27.-Nearly seven hundred millions for national defense in the fiscal year 1917 is the aggregate of proposed appropriations in the senate today with passage of .he army appropriation bill. carrying in round numbers $3l4,000,000.
 This grand total for preparedness still is subject to revision, however. because the army bill will follow the naval bill in conference where reduc- tiolls are probable, despite the firm at titude of President Wilson in support ing the liberal response of the senate to the call for adequate defense.
 The appropriations for preparedness as they now stand are as follows:
 Army ............... $313, ,970, AT 10 Navy ................ 3l5,S26, S43.55 Fortifications tland) .... 25.74S,050.00 Military Academy ..-... 2,23S, 326.51 Army and deficiency .... H,559,34S05
 Total ..>..........s6S s6S5, 343, ,O17.27
 As it passed the senate, the army bill exceeded the appropriations made by tEe house by more than $13l 100000. In tine final hours of debate on the measure the senate agreed to an ap- propriatipn of $2.000,U00 for relief of dependent families of national guards Iitl anu ItSuidt army SblultiH III Sti vice in the Mexican emergency. Dis tribution of the fund is left to the discretion of the secretary of war, but in no case shall any dependent family receive more than $50 a month.
 An amendment agreed to yesterday giving soldiers on the border the right to vote in the field at the November election was eliminated from the bill on a point of order just before pass age. As soon as the army bill was out of the way, the senate took up and passed. after brief debate, the military academy appropriation bill. carrying g. 23S. .32S.57, an increase of $101g,542 over the house authorization. In the main. the senate approved the military committees increase over house ap- propriations in the army bill although there were q few reductions in the committee recommendations. due to improvement in the Mexican situa- ton. Among the big appropriations with comparative totals, as carried in the house and senate bills, are the fol- lowing:

Can Gone With Bandits

FL PASO, July 27.-Colonel Joseph A. Gaston commanding the American border patrol in the Big Bend district of Texas, is confident that his force is so disposed as to be ample to cope with any bandit band which might at tempt a raid across the border, accord ing to word reaching here tonight from Maria.
 At military headquarters it was pointed out that the Sixth United States cavalry is supported in patrol in the district by contingents of the Texas and Pennsylvania national guard Belief was expressed that only hunger would spur the bandits to at tempt a raid in the face of the prepara- tons. The band, last reported near Sierra Blanca, about sixty miles south of the frontier has been operating in that section some weeks.

Marine News.

After waiting on the Mexican
border for three years and never
once seeing the active service his
heart longed for, a former private
OF the 18th U. s. Cavalry was &C
cepted for enlistment in the Unit
cd States Marine Corps.
II have been waiting down
there on the border expecting
trouble to break OUT" he told Ser
geant Frank E.. English, in charge
of the Marine recruiting station
at Decatur. Ills, "and I began to
think that Villa would never start
anything. And now, a day or
two after I'm discharged, my old
outfit is in the very thick of
it,"
"Villa wouldn't start anything
80 long as you were there" En-.
glish comforted the ex-trooper.
"But when he heard that you had
been paid off he knew that the
psychological moment had arriv-
ed and that it was safe to COM
mence hostilities."
When a false mustache, with
fierce bristling points, worked
loose on the upper lip of John
Homer, an applicant for enlist
ment for the Marine Corps, it was
discovered that Homer was a run
away, II years of age, and had hit
upon the mustache disguise to
add age and dignity to his ap-
pesrance.
But "cruel" Sergeant Robinson
of the Marines shattered the boys
romance with the announcement
that he'd have to wait until he
was 81, or else get parents con-
sent, and now young Homer is in
clined to the belief that there is
little efficacy in the borrowed
movie plot when applied to life's
stern realities.
"Ill come back some day with
q real mustache of my own and
then you'll be glad to accept me
as one Of Uncle Sans brave Mar
ines" were Homer's parting
words.

The $4,000 persons on the
grounds of the Panama California

E AS wiNpMILLs.

A growing eucalyptus, partly
cleared of leaves and branches, has
been used as a windmill tower by a
California farmer. In search of
good running. water, the farmer
found a spring underneath a grove
of eucalyptus trees. 1t was found
that in order to erect a windmill
standard over the spring it would be
necessary to sacrifice the beautiful
trees. Finally solving the problem
of building the windmill without de-
stroying the trees, he mounted the
fan on one of the central trees.
Clearing away much of the foliage
on the nearest trees, he ran braces
to the windmill, and secured a ma
chine which has given him entire
satisfaction. - Popular Science

LoNDoNs OLDEST IRISH RELIC
History Of Stone In Coronation Chair
Can Be Traced Back for Many
Centuries.

The oldest Irish historical relic in
London is the stone believed to be
the ella Falp in the coronation
chair in Westminster abbey, accord
ing to the Irish World. 1t will be
remembered that it was most GER
tainly the coronation stone of the old
Scottish kings, and it has been in the
abbey since Edward / brought it
from Scone, where King Kenneth, in
the ninth century, transferred it
from Argyllshire. 1t had been then
used as a coronation stone since Fer
gus, the son of Eric, brought it first
from Ireland, and the tradition was
that it had been the coronation stone
Of the Irish kings on the hill of Tara.
Old legend, indeed, gave the cor-
onation stone a greater antiquity and
declared it to be the very stone which
formed Jacobs pillow" The au-
thentic record of the stone is, how
ever, perfect to the days when it was
first taken from Ireland. 1t is spo-
ken of rs being in Westminster abb
hey, but it isn't. Like other ire
placeable objects, art treasures and
historic relics, it has been removed,
together with the chair which it has
enriched, to a place of safety from
Zeppelin bombs. 1t will be remem-
bered that tradition says that where
the stone is the ruling power of the
Scott, that is the Irish, will be found.
John Denver, in his "Old Rebel"
tells an amusing story of a simple
minded Fenian who conceived the
idea of carrying off the stone from
the abbey to Ireland and the settling

~Stockraising Bill.

While it is impossible to get any
positive information as to what
changes the Senate committee
will make in the stockraising
homestead bill, in advance of the
reporting of the measure to the
Senate, indications point to the
probability that this committee
will recommend in its report that
all lands shall be designated be-
fore entries may be made under
it. Should the committee take
this action, it will be because of
the protest of the stock men and
others against allowing settlement
under the proposed law in adj
vance of the designation of the
lands, as is now permitted under
the enlarged homestead law.
Such an amendment, if finally
incorporated in the law, will serve
to delay all filings for some time
and many of them for months it
not years.
The bill as passed by the House
contemplstes that settlers may
make entries without waiting for
the designation of the lands, as
they may now do under the en-
larged homestead law. The stock
men insist that this practice, if al
lowed under the proposed law,
will work hardship by allowing
entries to be made for the pur-
pose of blackmail.

BIG COLONY
Ditch East of Sara
toga Will be Built
Over 100000 Acres to be Irrigated Under
Old Segregation.

Simon Hamberg, of Chicago,
and the owner of all the railroad
lands from just south of Lake
creek clear through to Walcott on
the U. p, came in Sunday and is
looking after business matters in
connection with his land and the
land under the old segregation
east of Saratoga.
Mr.. Hamberg informs us that
he has organized a colony large
enough to take over all of his
land and this colony will form a
mutual organization and build
their own ditch to cover the lands.
They will build it big enough to
cover all of the government land
as we'll as the university and rail-
road lands, making a grand total
of about 100000 acres. of some of
the richest lands in the west.
They are making preparations
to get on the ground some time
this summer and go to work on
the ditch. Mr.. Hamberg intends
to be ON the ground and help car
ry the matter out, and to help in
every way he a until the thing
is all completed He stated that
they would put a big force to
work and build it as rapidly as
possible.
This is the third large enter
prise of this kind that Mr.. Ham.
berg has handled and been sue
cessful with aud there is no doubt
that with the class of land and wa
ter available he will be equally
successful with this one He left
yesterday evening for Cheyenne
