WEATHER OBSERVERS ON
 LINE ARE DESIGNATED

Weather observers at two points where weather instruments have been installed recently, have just been ap- pointed. At Chickaloon, c. J. Lowry, timekeeper at camp 96, will report the official figures, while F. B. Giddings will act in a similar capacity at Will low creek. MT. Giddings is timekeep- CT at camp 187.
 The instruments for Talkeetna and Indian river have been on the ground for some time, but the observers, so far as known here, have not been named. There is some indecision as to locating one station at Indian river and the instruments may be placed at Dead Horse Hill instead.

Huge Wheat Crop in Oklahoma

Since left home. two or three days
ago." said E. K. Gaylord. Of Oklahoma
City, at the Willard, fine rains have
fallen all over the State, thus assuring
US a crop Of wheat that will equal if
not exceed last years yield Of almost
80 900, 900 bushels. Our country is in
fine condition and prosperity is general.
There is, however the same complaint
with us that I find prevalent here in
the East-a general murmur against
the high cost Of living. There is no
dearth of food supplies. but almost all
items that go on the table are about
as dear in Oklahoma as they are in
Washington. Money is so abundant
however. that people do not worry
very greatly over prices. especially
since our farmers, cattlemen and own
ers Of oil wells are the recipients of
big money for all they produce. In
Tulsa recently 50 head Of high grade
cattle were sold at an average of more
than 500 a head. one particularly fine
bull bringing $780,"
