SAVE THE PARK TREES.

One of the most attractive features
of our town is the park and fair
grounds. Visitors are impressed with
the excellent improvements and the
spirit of the community which fosters
them. Not the least important ele-
ment in this slightly public play ground
is the trees that were planted there
and have been nurtured at consider
able expense. They have made
wonderful growth and are most desir-
able in our community, where trees
are all too scarce. They are just now
suffering from the drouth, and without
water some of them at least may not
survive the unusual season.

control of the Utilities Commission.
and requiring them to pay their share
of the upkeep cost of public highways.
A resolution was passed favoring
law requiring more equitable sys-

the budget system for all
state, county and municipal offices.

affecting public! securities, requiring
the setting aside each year an equal

START HARVEST BY THE MIDDLE
OF JULY

According to the present forecasts
harvesting of barley in this section viii
commence about the middle of the
month. This places the season nearly
month ahead of the usual time on ac-
count of the extremely dry weather the
Prairie has been unfavorably blessed
with. The wheat harvest will come
about the first of August.
With the noticeable shortage of
grains throughout the entire country
this year it is quite probable that pric-
es viii reach the maximum by the first
of the month. In such event the loss
will be partially made up, although
here, where the cost of shipping plays
such an important role in the market.
ing of grain, any such shortage will be
more severely felt than elsewhere.
Portland quotations on wheat for
June, July and August are as follows:
Hard white, bluestem and baart,
June $l.3l, July $l.30, August $1.26;
soft white, June, July $1.ls, August
$l.17 1-2; hard white, northern spring,
June, July $1.15, August $l.l4; wess-
ern red, June, July $l.14, August SLIP.
The winter wheat, which was favor
ably refreshed with a few rains during
the spring and early summer, will come
out fairly strong with an average yield
of 25 to 80 bushels. Spring grain, how
ever, has suffered the most and viii be
far below standard. This condition
seems to be general, for reports from
the middle west and EASTERN washing
ton state that those sections also have
been suffering from frightful weather

SNAKE RIVER LOWEST IN so
YEARS

The Snake river is at the loves
stage for June that it has been for tn
past "a years, according to Capt. J. E
Atkins, who has operated upon tn.
river since 1890. The river is as Low
now as it usually is in August, and il
very few Augusts does it get so low.
The liver at the present time is
about a foot above zero, and the low
est it has ever been was z feet below
zero. Captain Atkins says the river is
falling every day and August this year
will undoubtedly be the lowest ever
known.
"The river boat Lewiston is loading
some grain from Crum, and will fin
ish Tuesday" Captain Atkins said 'sIf
it were not for the fact that the Lew
iston draws about foot less water
than the old Spokane, we would not be
able to be hauling at the present time
When we finish up at Crum Tuesday,
the lower river houses will all be ship
ped out.
"The low water of June this wear
makes me think of that of June of 30
years ago, which many old Lewiston
residents will recall. On June 10, 1894,
it will be remembered the Snake river
was at the 24-foot stage above zero,
and the water was running several feet
deep on the main street of Lewiston
At about this time in the month that
year the water was probably from 16
to IS feet high, or much higher than
it has been for several years.
s'The lack Of snow in the mountains
and the dry period which has demand
ed so much water from the Snake river
for irrigation, have made the river ex-
ceptionally low for this season of the
year. Most of our water now comes
from the Salmon and the Grande
Ronde rivers. We will be lucky to get |
back to Lewiston by Tuesday, and this
s several weeks earlier than we usual
y have to tie up on account of low
water. .''-Lewiston Tribune.

TERRIFIC HEAT WAVE
HITS LEWIS COUNTY
Mercury Hovers Around ss For Three
Days-Much Damage


Starting last Sunday heat wave
passed over the Prairie which raised
the mercury to the breaking point, set
ting new record in the weather an
nails of this territory. The heat be-
came noticeable Sunday when the ther-
mometer registered around "a in the
shade, but this sudden change from a
period of rather cool weather to a mod
crate "a proved to be only the starting
point, for Monday brought us heat
that was nearly suffocating. Old Sol
hit for 81 degrees on Monday, crossing
the plate. for record that has not
been broken in the last four years.
However, this was not enough for the
following day showed the 98 mark
sweltering under the sun Is rays.
At noon yesterday the thermometer
read 81, and this was not maintained
throughout the afternoon. About l
o'clock breeze came up which was
partially effective in cooling off this
part of the earth s surface and
dropped the mercury to the lower
CO.'S. When the old prairie is already
nearly dying of thirst and all vege-
tation is commencing to sizzle such a
hot wave can do no good and will |
only be appreciated by its absence.
Current rumor has it that conditions
here are sympathetic with the hot ses-
sion at the Democratic convention,
and as soon as matters are cooled off
there, we also, shall be recipients of
the more likeable end of Nature Is
weather program.
With three such extremely warm
days all records of this prairie have
been shattered. One day, four years
ago, the thermometer reached 100, but
this only lasted for one day and was
followed by storm and then cooler
weather. The old prairie is certainly
strong for records, and is making them
every day, but those of such mega
tive tendency are hardly wanted, and
we are all well satisfied when the hon
ers are carried off by some other To-
cality.
