Lightning Strikes.

During the storm on Sunday even
ing lightning struck the Sayler build
ing at Two Buttes and it was almost
completely destroyed by the fire that
followed. The building was construct
ed by 7. ]. Sayler Of Lamar nearly
a dozen years ago and still owned by
him. 1t was occupied by R. C. Best
with stock OF drugs which was also
a total loss. Both the building and
stock were partly covered by insur-
ance.

Attractive Window.

One of the show windows of the w.
j. Johnston Mere. Co. attracted large
crowds of visitors for several days the
past week. 1t was entitled Buddy
Lees Circus" and was fitted up with
a real Ferris wheel run by a small
electric motor and the seats filled
with dolls dressed in Lees overalls
and unionalls, some sitting, some
hanging on by the hands and some
by the feet. The window was crowded
with doll spectators similarly dressed
and all visiting the big show. The
window was not only unique but very
interesting and attracted the largest
crowds of any display seen in Lamar
for a long time.

JULY WEATHER
Not the Hottest, But Still D-eucedly
Hot.

July, 1922, will go down in the val
ley history as one of the hottest
months on record, but not the hot
test. July, however, holds that dis
tinction so far as the known records
go. The average maximum tempen-
ture for the thirty-one days of July
this year was 97.l degrees, and this
has been one of the few summers in
the valley when the nights were op-
pressive also, as the average minimum
temperature was 59.5 degrees. The
average range between was 37.6 de-
grees and the mean average tempera-
ture was 1873 degrees. In July, 1910,
the average maximum was 99.1 de-
grees, the range 36 degrees and the
minimum average 63.1. The mean av-
erage was 81.1 degrees. Part Of this
difference was due perhaps to a more
favorable location of the station this
year, but it would not be sufficient to
account for the nearly three degrees
difference in the mean temperature. In
1910 the citizens did not have as many
appliances for relieving the inconveni-
ence Of heat as they do now, and those
who were here will always remember
that month.

Big Rains,

Raymond Lee returned Monday night
from n two day trip south of Spring
field. He reports the first days trip
in Baca through heavy rains with deep
mud for mary miles. Returning on
Monday he was caught in almost n
waterspout south of Lamar and for
twenty miles just south of town the
mud was almost impossible. The
heaviest part of the big storm was on
Clay creek watershed and as this is
where the city water supply comes
from, it put an end to all fears of a
water shortage here for the present.
The rainfall for the past twelve months
has been about the smallest on record
in this valley, and this had caused the
city water supply to be badly reduced.
The breaking of the drouth is welcom-
ed by all.

PAVING MEETING
Meeting Called for 7:30 Friday Even
ing to Consider Proposals.

A meeting of the property owners
along the blocks covered by the pro-
posed paving district has been called
to meet at the office of |. H. Myers
on Friday evening of this week at 80
o'clock, for the purpose of considering
the bids of the various engineers for
the work of engineering and inspec-
tion connected with the proposed paw
ing district in Lamar. The board of
aldermen received bids last Monday
evening and adjourned to give the
property holders an opportunity to
name the man they want. The board
will meet on Saturday night to close
the deal There were twelve bids re-
ceived and the range was so wide that
the board preferred the owners of the
property would pick the man the ma
jority desires.to handle the job. The
bids varied from a low price of three
per cent of the amount involved up
to one as high as eighteen per cent.
There were several at four, five and
six per cent, and il seems as il there
would be no trouble in getting the
work done at reasonable figure.

Protect American Industry.

To support his contention that the
tariff bill is designed to protect Ameri-
can industry against cheap foreign la
Dor, Senator Watson of Indiana said
recently that according to official fig
ures one ounce of gold would purchase
labor in the chief competing countries
as follows: United States, II hours;
England, so hours; France, lit hours;
Germany, POI hours.
In the west VIC see the necessity of
reasonable tariff protection for such in
dustries as beet sugar, lumbe. in GER
tain branches, paper, certain metals,
etc, which cannot pay American wages
and maintain American standards of
living in competition with untaxed
foreign goods produced with cheap la
ocr and dumped on American market

Large Stamp Collection.

The national association of stamp
collectors met in Denver last week and
Judge ]. X. Doughty who was called
to the city on important business took
his big collection along and attended
the convention. At the convention it
was found that his collection OF pre-
cancelled stamps was one of the ten
largest in the country, and one of the
highest in value on account of his large
collection of early pre-cancels, he hav-
ing commenced saving this class OF
stamps long before most collectors
realized their permanent place in the
postoffice business. The Judge has
large collection in all lines and one
that has many very valuable stamps
and blocks Of stamps In 1t.

SEIZE WHOLE TRAIN
County Officials Make Big Haul of
Back Taxes.

While the republican county assem-
bly, was renominatisg some of the pres
ent county officials, they were busy
proving their value to the taxpayers
by making coup that secured the
payment of five thousand dollars of
taxes due the county part of it several
years delinquent. The taxes were on
cattle that had been driven over into
Kansas without payment of taxes and
were held ON mortgage by a Kansas
City bank. Sheriff J. A. Simpson re-
ceived word several days before that
they were 20 be shipped through the
county and he with County Treasurer
j. Russell Mayfield and the commits
sioners were prepared to stop them.
They were shipped in solid train of
nineteen cars and were stopped in the
Lamar railroad yards and held until
the bank sent the money to cancel the
county's claim against them. 1t look
ed for a few hours as if Sheriff Simp-
son and his assistants might be in the
cattle business, but the matter was
soon adjusted and the train was sent
or its way.

reported 10 Tokyo instances OF
