RAINS GENERAL OVER
STATE DURING WEEK

Nearly all portions of the grazing
section of Arizona and western New
Mexico were benefited by moderate to
heavy amounts of rainfall during the
week. The heaviest fall, 1.48 inches,
occurred at HOlbrook and vicinity.
This was closely followed by that at
Fort Bayard, N. NJ, where LAT inches
occurred in the same time. Better
range and stock conditions rapidly
followed the heavy rain of Tuesday
the 18th, at Holbrook. Some very
heavy local showers occurred during
the week, notable ones occurring at
Constellation where z inch fell in one
hour, and at Cove Ranch, near Magma
where 1.35 inches fell in 35 minutes.
Large weekly amounts of rain are re-
ported at Grand Canyon, Nogales,
Pinedale and Whiteriver, and general
improvement of range and stock con-
ditions have occurred Stock condi-
tions continue good in the Douglas
section although rainfall for the past
week has been small. Following more
than one inch of rain at Pinedale
range conditions are reported as i'm
proved. Although heavy showers
have occurred in the vicinity of Pres
colt the weekly amount reported at
that station is small and range con-
ditions continue poor. Grass is head
ing out in the Fort Bayard, N. NJ,
section and cattle are reported as
getting fat.
Vegetation of all kinds has been
improved by the unusually high hui
midity prevailing during the week and
the shedding Of cotton appears to have
been unimportant. Cotton is coming
into the gins but picking has not be-
come general. Rainfall in irrigated
sections has not been sufficient to in
terfere with agricultural pursuits The
flow of the Colorado river promises
to be sufficient for all irrigation pur-
poses for some little time at least.

Conjecture Over
LegiOn's Attitude
Toward Mitchell

Omaha, Neb, Oct. 4-(AP)-The
attitude of the American Legion to-
ward Colonel William Mitchell. critic
of the navy. was foremost in the Cos
sip of members of the legion arriving
here for the seventh annual conyen-
ton tomorrow.
Friends of the colonel, chagrined
because he was not invited to attend
as a distinguished guest, were molli-
fled by the news that Captain Junius
Peyser would read a personal mes
sage to the Legion from Colonel Nit
chell when he arrives tomorrow.
While officials explained only combat
generals and admirals are invited as
distinguished & u Q s s. Mitchells
friends believe the omission was de-
signed to keep him from expounding
his criticisms on the convention floor.
Alvin Owlsey Of Texas, former ma 7
tional commander, was leader in
the movement for a convention fight
for endorsement OF Mitchelrs recon-
mendations to congress for a separate
department Of air service.
The convention will officially open
tomorrow, with addresses, invocations
and committee organization. Tuesday
will be the red letter day, however,
with President Coolidge's address.
Plans call for the presidents address
at 1890 A. NJ, before he reviews the
huge parade and for his departure
early in the evening for Washington.

rung down for the last time in the
historic playhouse and its active ca

eHA Quincy Kilby of Brookline.
treasurer Of the theatre for many
years in the heyday of its fame, was
called in to give the signal for the
final curtain.
The theatre, doomed to be RACED
to make way for great vaudeville
house, was opened on September IL,
1854. For many years 1t was the
largest theatre in the country with
a seating capacity of 3,140. holding
that honor until the Chicago Audi
forum was built. For more than
half a century it was without peer
for the beauty of it's decorations and
its acoustic properties, and its great
stage had been trod by most of the
leading actors and singers of its
time. 1t remained legitimate house
until April, 1909, when it passed in
to the possession of the late Il. l..
Keith and became the home of
vaudeville and motion pictures.

CA|LLAUX TO FACE
RADICAL ATTACK ON
FINANCE POLICIES

Paris. Oct. 4-(AP)-Joseph Call
laux, the French finance minister,
will have little time to rest up after
his return from Washington before
he must grapple with what is consid-
cred in parliamentary circles as the
most difficult task of his political
career. He is expected to appear be-
fore the national convention Of the
Radical party at Nice October Is 20
defend the policies he has followed
as the minister of finance.
Mr.. Caillaux's hold on his portfolio
and the life Of the whole government
depend on the issue of the battle he
will wage against opposition in his
own party. The promoters of the
coalition of Radicals and Socialists
declare they cannot support the
present government unless it returns
to the policies accepted by M. Her
riot. Their aim Is to force the res
ignation of the Painleve cabinet and
pave the way for the return Of M.
Herriot to power.
The pure radicals will ask M. Call
laux whether he intends permanent
ly to abandon the idea of a capital
levy and whether the government
proposes to accept a majority re-
cruited in greater part from the OPP
position. The minister of finance, it
is understood, will stick to his pol
icy of refusing responsibility of any
revolutionary methods Of finance.
He will refuse to outline the ma or-
ity the government proposes to rely
upon, referring the convention to
Premier Painleve, who is not a men,
Der of the radical party and not sub
ject to it's discipline.
Those who have high opinion of
Caillaux's political sagacity and skill
in handling party groups. predict
that he will come out of the Nice
convention victorious. There is less
confidence in Premier Painleve's abil-
ity to win his battle which will come
only when parliament meets toward
the end of october.
Political experts are of the opinion
that the existence of the ministry
will depend upon its willingness to
govern with majority made up on
the lines of the final vote on the bud
get of 1925, more than three fourths
e I,.Ich was made up of moderates
and national15ts.

Rushforth designed his own
