Since the unparalleled high temperature has been prevailing, rat tlcsnakcs are much more plentiful than ever before known and birds of the desert are now in dormant condition.
 Those persons living at different camps use extreme care in meandcr- ing for fear of running onto the rat der and by being careful no one as vet has been hit, although many have had narrow escapes. Speaking of the desert quail, Mir. Rogers states he picked up from under a mesquite bush a little bird, and instantly it let out a signal of distress for its mother, when the mother bird came

JIMMY DOUGLAS ON
 WAY BACK TO AMERICA

JEROME. June lS.-"Jimmy'' Douglas is on his way home from France
 That the president of the United Verde Extension has left Paris and by this time is undoubtedly some where on the Atlantic ocean is dis closed by a cablcgram from W. H. Brophy, received by Manager George Kingdom.
 Brophv gave no details whatever. He simply notified Manager Kingdom that Mir Douglas was on his way back to America Kingdom was not surprised as he had some previous intimation that Dauglas might pay a visit to the States shortly.
 Nothing of Mir Douglas plans is known here by Manager Kingdom or anyone else but it is believed that his return is occasioned chiefly by the illness of his aged father, Dr. James Douglas In all probability his visit will be brief one but it is expected that he will visit Douglas and Jerome before returning to Paris.
 Since last summer James :. Doug las has been in France with the Red Cross He directs the expenditure of millions oi dollars and the diSpo- sition of enormous quantities of sup plies, . position for which his ex- pcrience peculiarly fits him.
 Mir. Douglas is not one of those who believe that the war will be won soon, or at least he did not believe that before the last big German drives. In letters to the news papers and 10 friends IT Arizona he repeatedly declared that the Ger mans are a long way from beaten, that America must throw every ounce of her power into the balance if the Tcutons are not to realize their dream of world dominion.

 U. s. Browns on Chain Letters
 The United States government is not in favor of chain letters for any purpose whatever. One of the lat est under this head IS the American Chain Company. Chain Letter A series of chain letters Is being cir culated flor the purpose of founding a special hospital in France for the treatment of wounds in the face and jaw. The chain letter states that flor every Sl6,000 raised by the American committee, the American Red Cross will give 5000 in cash. |" Recipients of the letter are requested to write five more letters and to send g cents to the French consul, Seattle. Wash. This chain letter was started by the French consul through q misunderstanding on his part. The American Red Cross states they have never agreed to give any money to this causc and they, as well as the French ambassador to this country, are anxious that the chain should be broken up.
 The treasury department has au- ,horized the following statement: Chain letters which in the past have been used to get funds for worthy purposes and for some unT worthy ones. have been started by some enthusiastic workers for the sale of war savings stamps. The treasury department has officially dis approved their use, and the national war savings committee wishes the public 10 understand that these let tcrs were not instigated by the na- tional committee" This information regarding chain letters has been re- ccived by the local council of defense, and the secretary has been requested 10 give ii wide publicity.

MEXICAN YOUTH. IS KILLED BY
 LIGHTNING
BOLT ENTERS ROOF OF T E NIT HILE TW YOUNG MEN ARE EAT ING SUPPER; ONE ES- CAFES DEATH.
iFrom Fridays Daily.)

During a thunder storm Wednesday evening at about 6:30 o'clock, while two employees of C. F. Burton were in a tent at a point ten miles north of this city and near Granite siding, eating supper, bolt of lightning de- scended killing Salido Espinosa in- stantly, while his companion, Rayos Bettercz miraculously escaped with minor injuries.
 Lying on the ground back of Es- pinosa was a collie dog, which also was hit and suffered the same fate as its master. When the crash came Mir. Burton had reached point about 400 feet away, and he also was badly affected for some time afterward, be- ing thrown to the ground in dazed state He recovered rapidly, and re- turned to the tent, where he faced sad scene The body of Espinosa was examined and showed not the slightest symptoms of life. Betterez was assisted from the tent, and while able to walk was found to be par. tially paralyzcd on the left side, and seemed to be seriously affected other wise. He was brought to Mercy hos pital in this city later and his con dition yesterday would indicate that he will suffer no serious conse- quences.
 The dog was found in the same po- sition it was in when alive.
 The two young men were eating supper and each was sitting on roll of blankets with a box between them that served as a table. They were not over three feet apart when lightning entered the tent, and how it was one was killed outright and the other only slightly injured, IS ac- counted for as one of those peculiar freaks unsolvcd in the pranks of the elements. The dead youth was about l9 years of age. and was highly spoken of by Mir Burton.
 Judge McLane held an inquest. and the verdict of the jury was m ac- cordance substantially with the above facts.
 Other Lightning Victims
 Judge McLane reviewed similar fatalities occurring in that region in recent years, by mentioning the death of a minister on Sunday after noon a few years ago as he was sit ting in front of his home near Jcr- ome Junction reading Bible, when bolt struck him and death followed n an instant. The sky was clear and TO rain was falling
 A Mexican boy also was killed by lightning within two miles of the point of the last tragedy, about three years ago. while in early days George Banghart, boy about fifteen years of age. brother of Mrs. E. w. Wells, vas killed by lightning in Chino val ley. about fifteen miles north of W Wednesdays unfortunate occurrence.

a speech there by Senator Anterior, of
. Twin Falls, during his recent visit to
Ne northern part of the state. There
is>food for thought in one observation
made by Senator S. p Atherton while
in Moscow-when a man accepts an
office he should qualify for it. 1t is
a tragic thing in the life of any man
when he reaches the point where he
can no longer learn. 1t is fine
thing to see a man past his meridian
still young and with a mind open to
new impressions. No man is old un-
til he has passed the point of learn
ing. 1t is refreshing too to see man
in office who is not ready to settle
down and ossify in the office. 1t is
one of the curses of public place that
it tends to deaden men, to convert
them into parasites. In this whirl-
wind of human destiny, officeholders
must move rapidly or be left behind
as so much junk"
