YESTERDAY HOTTEST DAY.
Reached Comparisons Local
Climatic Conditions This
Year and Last Crop
Conditions.

The following brief summary
of local weather conditions is
made from the records of the Nez-
perez station of the U. S. Wealth
er Bureau:
The warmest day of the cur
rent years was Wed, July %,
when the thermometer register
ed 95. With the exception Of last
year, this is as high as the tenn
perature has risen here during
the past ten years. In 1919, the
warmest, dryest year known to
this section, temperature of SO
was recorded on July IL and Is.
The high record for May last
year was 80; for June, 92 and for
August, SO; while for May and
June this year it was rs and so.
The total precipitation in 1919
was 1923 inches, or 4.34 inches
less than normal. In April of that
year, the record shows 2.06 inch
es, in May 2.81, in June. 08, in
July .01 and in August "a. This
year April gave us 2:65 inches
of rain, May 1.69, June 2.20 and
thus far in July we have had 81
inches, or more for this month
than for the months of June, July
and August last year.
The fine June rains of the cur
rent season were well distributed
through the month and practical
ly assured the fall-sown crops.
The July precipitation, which has
been largely in the nature of To-
cal showers, has helped wonder
fully in maturing the fall grain
and in bringing the spring crop
through. Clouds which gathered
over the prairie Tuesday night,
after thea heat of the preceding
day, and which have since been
more or less prevalent give hope
of more local showers at least be-
fore the end of the month.
The fall wheat harvest will
start here in ten days or two
weeks, and the outlook is gener-
ally excellent, though some spots
show little burning. In such in
stances, however the rule has
been to cut the grain for hay, and
there is little loss sustained.
Spring wheat will need more rain
to make the crop anticipated. Re
ports indicate that more moisture
is not so necessary as the condi-
ton of cooler weather the rain
would bring. There is sufficient
moisture in the ground to nurture
most of the spring crop to ma
turity.

Getting Ready for Fight.

With the etchel-Reager fight
little over a week off, the Win
chester fans are closing up the
preliminaries and making prepa-
rations for the biggest crowd that
ever attended a bout on the prai-
rie. The principals are down to
hard training and both are con-
fident of getting the decision.
The battle will be held at the
Winchester ball grounds on the
evening Of August 7, where spe-
cial lighting arrangements are be-
ing made and where the seating
capacity will be ample. However,
those desiring choice seats should
get in communication with DR.. j
L. Kelly at an early date, as these
will be taken quickly.
That large delegation will &c
from Nezperce to witness this
bout is foregone conclusion, for
if there is a man in his class any
where who can beat Stanley Ket-
chel this end Of the prairie will
go quite a distance to see how he
goes about it.

You Known George Reinhardt.

George r. Reinhardt, who is III
the race for the Democratic nom-
ination for county commissioner
from the first district, is one of
Lewis county's stalwart citizens.
He is a pioneer Of the section east
of Nezperce, where, by thrift and
diligence he has prospered and
has maintained an honored place
at the head of one Of the best
families our prairie can boast. He
has been booster in all worthy
movements toward the develop
ment of the country. He has kept
himself informed as to conditions
in all parts of the county during
his 25 years residence here, and
is certainly well qualified to help
look after the public business OF
our commonwealth. Unassuming
and sincere in his conduct to-
ward others, successful in his pri-
vate enterprises, George Rein
hardt is the sort of man to en-
trust with the public interests.

Passing Of Mrs. Josephine Kincaid

Mrs. Josephine Kincaid, moth
er of Mrs. York Herren of this
city, who had been visiting here
the past several weeks, died at Z
CLOCK Monday morning at the
White hospital in Lewiston from
peritonitis. She became seriously
i'll on the 18th instant and was
taken to the hospital where an ex-
animation disclosed acute appen-
dicitis and an operation was per-
formed. She recovered from the
shock of this, and though her
case was serious, hope for her re-
covery was strong until the day
before the end came. At her bed
side were four Of her five chill
dren, Mrs. York Herren, of this
city; Mrs. w. R. Paxton, of Walla
Walla; Mrs. John X. Thompson,
and Frank J.. Kincaid, both of
Pendleton, Ore. Another son, Ell
bert A. Kincaid, of Berkely, Cal
ifornia, could not reach her bed
side, but was present at the fun
eral, which was held Tuesday af-
ternoon at Walla Walla, and in
terment was made there.
The deceased was born in Eu-
gene, Ore, 81 years ago AT the
age of Is she married A. A. Kin
caid and to them five children
were born. During the past 40
years her home had been at Pa
louise, Wn., though a portion OF
her time was spent in visiting her
children. She had gained many
friends during her visits to Nez-
perce, for she was that type OF
woman whom to know is to es-
TEEN and admire. Kindly, gentle
and generous in disposition, she
commanded the highest respect
and love of those who had the
pleasure Of her acquaintance.
Hers was the true mother spirit.
and having finished it's sojourn
on earth, has gone to the reward
of the true, the beautiful and the
good. Her work here was done
and she was ready. She so ex-
pressed herself to those whom she
loved best. and admonished them
view her passing in that light.
