An Equable Climate

"The climate Is the most eqnablc
of any part of the country The sun
shines nearly every day in the year
st year there were only thirty cloudy
days. There Is scarcely any rainfall.
The so-called RAINY season comes IN
July and August. For II few days II
rains in torrents.
During the summer the tempera
ture rises as high as l2O, but owing
to the dry air il is less uncomforta-
bic than an Iowa sizzler The nights
are delightful. As soon as the sun
goes down the cool breezes begin to
blow off the desert.
'The camp all lies OH to the north
Of the town on the hard sunbaked
desert. For miles IN every direction
the flat desert stretches of. cover
ed with stunted mesquite bushes and
cactus. and inhabited by big Jack
rabbits, coyotes, horned toads and
tarantulas. On the mountain sides
there are plenty of rattle snakes.
"Only thirty-five miles south is
Columbus on the border line. Sight
seers are still shown the ruins of the
buildings burned by the Mexican
bandit.

rooms. And frequently there is gun
play-iust as in the movies.

the 1000 are Mexicans. One of the
sights of the city is the mud jail
where six Villistas were hanged last
June after Pershing had captured
them in the interior of Mexico.
'Many of the houses of the little
town are of adobe-mud bricks

to whether the compensation and ex-
penses OF the motor vehicle inspector
for New Castle county, appointed under
the provisions OF Chapter 10, volume
%. Laws OF Delaware, can be paid by
New Castle county Mr.. Speakman saws
the chapter mentioned provided that the
compensation and expenses OF said in
spector shall be paid by the state
Treasurer, and for that purpose 5000
has been appropriated by the Legls-
lature for the present year and a like
sum for the next year. The county.
Mr.. Speakman says, can employ a
watchman TO prevent county roads
from being injured by the unlawful use
thereof by automobiles or other
vehicles. but this authority does not in
clude the right to employ watchmen
for the purpose OF making arrests for
violations OF the law where such vlo-
lations in no way damage or iniure the

holds that the duty TO enforce the laws
