SNOW BREAKS
ALL RECORDS

The biggest snow on record for
October fell at Oakley this month.
The oldest inhabitant Of Oakley Val
ley cannot remember anything that
beats it.
According to figures received yes
terday from Bishop John Adams.
the government weather man, IS in
ches of snow had fallen this month
so far--the greatest amour in the
history of the station ct has been In
operation since 1S93). The precipi-
tation for this month makes total
of 253 inches.
Only two times in the history OF
the station has the precipitation for
the entire month been greater than
that for the first twenty-one days OF
this month-in 1912 and In 1897.
In 1912 the total precipitation for
October was 2.75 inches; in 1897,
2.72 inches. Another remarkable
year was 1908 with 2.20 inches. The
average, precipitation for October
since 1898 has been 102 inches.
There is statement in Tuesdays
Burley Bulletin, which, in view Of
Bishop Adams records. would seem
to be a mistake. We have reference
to the following:
Many OF our people recall the
time four years ago this month when
the potatoes and beets we're frozen
in the ground, and great damage was
done both crops. A similar spell OF
weather would be more disastrous
at this time because OF the fact that
greaer part of the crops are In the
feld".
According to Bishop Adams free
zing weather did not arrive till No
vember 3, when the thermometer
Q registered 13 degrees above zero

note a great change in the last week

veloping into what is known as

equipment arrived Wednesday, and II
weather premits the Cassia Acade-
my's first football game will be
played at Burley Saturday, October
23rd.
The cost Of football material is ra-
ther high and the Academy will call
on the business men and supporters
of the school to help pay for it, We
know that every one who knows
anything about sports will be glad
to see the Academy put out good
football team. So, Come on fellows
and give us lift"
Some Of the boys were little sur
prised to hear that Prof. Mills had

Talnpico Holds
Record for High
Living Prices

Tampico. Mexico, Oct. 20.-Tam-
pico is now called the highest
priced port in the world. 1t is more
expensive place to live in than New
York or Buenos Aires. two great
cities celebrated as calling for well
filled pocketbooks.
Everything is marked UP in Tam
pico. Many articles can he bought
in towns only a few miles away for
one half and quarter of the
price charged.
This indicates that there is no
reason for the extremely high pri-
ces except that oil production has
brought an abundance of money
to Tampico and the shopkeepers,
restaurant keepers and hotel men
want their share.

laborers who come from other sec

amount can be earned, but when

go far.

are so undernourished that they
can scarcely lift shovel. Others
