WEST MONTANA

Western Montana was drenched

of an inch precipitation and at
Missoula .36 of an inch of rain fell.
AT Great Falls .06 of an inch fell,
and at Havre .18 inches.
Light rains were recorded in the
eastern and central section of the
state, Glendive reporting Is inch-
es, Bozeman IL, Billings .02 and
Lewistown and Miles City .O1.
The week just closed was one
With moderate daylight and low
night temperatures, with hot, dry
winds during the opening days,
and with numerous, though insult
fieiently heavy, intermittent show
ers over most of the state after the
18th, according to the summary of
weather and crop conditions in
Montana for the week ending Tues
day, June "a, compiled by AL Brand
of the weather bureau.
Rains were heaviest over the
northern half of the state. While
a serious droughty condition con-
tinues in some of the south-cen-
trail districts, especially in parts
OF Saltwater and Sweet Grass
counties, elsewhere, east of the di-
vide, the rains have materially

vegetation, as we'll as lessened ap-
prehension felt by some concern

crops. Though water for irrigat-
ing purposes is being limited local

from fair to good generally.
Temperatures ranged from
maximum reading of 80 degrees
at Billings and Miles City on the
Goth, down to a minimum of 80 de-
grees with heavy frost at Philips
burg on the 10Th. The heaviest
weekly rainfall, 100 inch, was re-
ported from Glendive.

The question was left unsettled and another
meeting for its decision appointed Meanwhile
Washington surveyed the neighborhoOd, and
marked the houses and distances on q well
drawn map and, when the day of decision ar
rived, met all the arguments of his opponent
by presenting this paper, and thus carried his
point. In place of any description of this house
in its past or present condition, I offer the
following report of q visit made to it in 1887:

as 30 prevent the assembling OF any but those
who prize such occasions 30 much as to be

1T was still raining when I approached
the house, and found no one there. The wide
open doors invited me to enter-as they do in
vite, day and night, through the year, not
only the passing traveller, but every beast Of
the field and fowl Of the air. These latter,
however, seem to have reverenced the house Of
God, since few marks of their pollution are to
be seen throughout IL. The interior Of the
house. having been well built, is still good. The
chancel, communion table and tables Of the
Law, ETC.. are still there and In good order.

of those who lived 100 $50 years ago, but
really, the man with money today can obtain
very little bit, If any, more pleasure and COM

He urged the election of the President for q
