Precipitation for April Was 8 Inches

Bishop John Adams, who keeps
official record of the weather for the
government, informs us that the
precipitation for the past April was
three inches. He has kept the rec
ords since 1894 and three inches is
greater than the record of precipi-
tation for any April except 1921,
when 3.39 inches fell.

gradual change from glare to shad-
ow. The broad plains become q
sea of purple on which float the
still shimmering mountains. The
shadows creep higher and higher
until each serrate crest becomes a
line of light, margfning rugged
slopes on which every line etched
through centuries oy rills and
creeks reveals its history. The
mountains seemingly grow in stat
ure and unfold ridges and buttres-
ses separating profound depths.
One marvels at the diversity and
strength of the sculpturing on what
but few moments before appeared
fiat, meaningly surfaces.
"As the sun sinks lower there
are, perhaps, a few clouds near at
hand which are seemingly burned or
rendered molten by the intense
heat, but more frequently only a
nebulous glory appears in the va
porless air. The violet and purple
shadows creep higher and higher on
the mountain slopes, ana at last
each crest and pinnacle, still sharply
outlined, becomes but shadow.
During the cloudless summer the
glories of sunset are on the earth,
not in the sky. AS the sun disap-
pears a well-denfined twilight arch
arises in the east, the shadow OF the
earth on the dust particles in the
air. The upper margin of the arch
is at first well-defined, but fades
as 1t rises and is lost when the stars
begin to CLEAN in the dark heavens.
The cool, star-lit summer nights are
wonderfully magnificent. The hea-
vens, without a cloud, are flied
from horizon to zenith with stars
which burn with a steady planeta-
ry light, such as is seen in our cas-
tern humid lands only during clear
winter weather.
ALTHOUGH the summers in south
ern Idaho, in compon with the rest
of the great arid region of which il
is part, are characteristically
cloudless, sometimes completely so
two, yet as fall approaches vapor
banks appear and the glory in the
heavens and the magnificence of the
earth increase a thousand fold, sur
passing the ability of even a poet to
describe. One feature of the wea-
ther in early fall is thegathering of
thunder storms about the noun
tains and their advance with fierce
lightning and deep-toned thunder
over the plains, where they melt
away and disappear Intellectually in
the drier air. At times these strug-
giles of opposing forces are repeat
ed daily, and a more advanced posi-
ton is gained each afternoon bv
the invading storm, until a few pat
tering rain drops fall, or perchance
! brief drenching downpour occurs
IN the thirsty sagebrush lands. More !
often, however, the vast banks of
brilliantly Illuminated cumulus
clouds are festooled below with de-
rain sheets which fail to
each the earth. Accompanying
hese inefficient thunder squalls
here sometimes comes a heavily
wind which advances
Icross the land Ikea wall of black
less. obscuring the landscape, and
s it passes the observer producing
twilight even when the sun is
Ugh in the heavens AT such times
he eyes are blinded and the throat
) choked by the all-penetrat ting
ust particles. These dust storms, 9
accompanied by rain, explain the
rigin of the fine yellow soil which l
overs much of the plains, mantles i
he sides of isolated volcanic hills, I
nd extends far up the neighboring /
slopes"

WATER TURNED IN CITY MAINS.
But One Leak Has Developed, Necessi-
tating a New Length of Pipe
Pump Giving Some Trouble.

The Saratoga w~aterworks system is
now in working condition and the
mains have been filled for several
days past, but only a small supply has
been stored at the reservoir, due to
some trouble encountered; with the
pumping outfit. City Engineer Roy c.
Peck states that the pump has not yet
accomplished what it was supposed to
do, lifting water only 10 feet, al
though it is guaranteed to lift it 10
feet, and several days have been lost in
adjusting the machinery to accomplish
the desired result.
Only two of the wells have been used
so far, and the other two will be hook
ed ON as soon as the pump takes hold
to its capacity. But IN leak in the
mains has developed so far, hat re-
sulting from Il cracked joint of finch
main in the south part of town. This
was repaired Monday.

The Sun overlooked mention Of the
wandering mail plane, which afforded
entertainment for local people early
last week. When first sighted. the big
ship was travelling in a s%outherly di-
r~ection, going over town almost direct
ly over the river. 1t made a couple of
large circles and once came so low that
many thought it would land in the
street, but the pilot evidently recon
sidered and started off toward Raw
Inns. The driver was presumably n
new man on this roue and was evident
ly undecided as to where he was.
However, after n couple of times over
the town he undoubtedly satisfied him
self as to his location, and was soon
out of sight. This is the first mail
plane seen in the valley for several
months, unless possibly at a great dis
lance.

Birds Store Acorns for Winter use.

Birds in Mexico have a very clever
way of storing acorns for winter use.
They carry the acorns in their bills
sometimes for miles, to the steep. dry
sides of a mountain, which, in winter,
is covered with the hollow stalks OF
the last years agave flowers. Begin
ming at the bottom, they bore with
their skillful beaks, little holes in
these dry stalks. They then fill these
holes with acorns, and by and by,
when food grows scarce, they come
back to their mountainside store
houses, take out an acorn at a time
and fly with it to a ~neighboring yucca
tree, in the bark of which they bore
an opening large enough to hold the
acorn firmly then they insert the nut,
break it open, and eat it in com
fort.
