MAN AND BEAR
 POSE TOGETHER
Look Down Same Barrel Dawson Trapper Has
 Hair-raising Experience
Dawson News)

Here is the most recent of recent bear stories. This one most real istically took place only a few day ago.
 Steve Groshell, an old-time pros pector and trapper situated at the mouth of Quartz Creek, is the one who plays the lead in this unusual bear yarn It seems that in the spring of the year our trapper friend catches a large supply Of grayling which he pickles in brine for use during the summer months. To keep the salted fish cool, he has a large barrel of brine sunk it's whole length into the ground, and, to get the fish out of it he has to lie prone on the ground on the ground and reach into it. On this particular day of which we have been informed, Steve, whose hearing isn't as keen as it used to be, was lying on the ground in- specting his fish barrel when he felt something lightly brush along side of him and upon looking up, Steve saw also looking down into the barrel what was a most really alive and fish-hungry monstrous

deficiency of rainfall.
 The American drought, while se- were, is only a local one. The world as a whole is not suffering from lack of rain, although crops in southern and eastern Europe southern Russia and Great Britain are suffering from drought to some extent.
 Water as usual is cvaporatlng under the rays of the sun and be- ing taken up into the air, but it is falling as rain this year in the south and east and over the At lantic. Next year it may rain plentifully again in the present drought regions.
 However nature gave ample warning of this drought in many of the drier western states, and the weather bureau has collected evidenc that there are cycles ot wet and dry years in many parts of the United States, although ot varying lengths and not predict able.

 WASHINGTON, July 3. - Man has made the present record breaking drought worse in it's eff fleets in many sections than it would have been 40 years ago, but Its main cause is failure of mois- ture-laden warm air to rise into the cool upper air where it's vapor could be condensed and fall as rain.
 This is the verdict of weather bureau experts who have been studying droughts, their causes and possible methods of ameliorating them for many years
 There is only one way to make it rain, they explain. That is to get warm air, with moisture evap- orated from the earths surface, up to heights where the tempera ture is cooler. When this moist, warm air is cooled, it can hold less moisture, and so the excess turns from vapor into water, and falls as rain.
 A drought represents failure on the part of nature to perform this process over greater or less CT area. The great air masses which control weather may become stagnant, with the result that the normal process of moist warm air masses from the south meeting cold air masses from the north and riding up over them with re- sulting condensation and rainfall, is interrupted. Excessive heat also may warm up the northern air so much that it does not cool the southern moist air sufficiently to produce much rain.
 Grass Cover Factor
 But although these whims of nature are beyond the control of anything man may do, his farming and grazing activities in large areas have made this drought more devastating than the same drought would have been in the nineties, the scientists say.
 This is because cultivation and Over-grazing have removed the normal cover of grass or trees. As result the soil, when dried by drought, is now exposed to the ravages of wind storms; seeds are blown out of the ground, or smoth- cred under blown soil, tons of good top soil are blown away and land made worthless With a grass cover, this could not happen.
 U. S. Drought Local
 There is no evidence that the world is drying up,' says the weather bureau Droughts are a fairly normal occurrence, for there is one somewhere in the United States almost every year. This country experienced severe droughts in 1854, 1856, 1857, 1860, 1S63-64, 1870, 1881, 1893-95, 1901, 1911, 1916, 1924 and 193o However, the pres- ent one is the most serious in weather bureau records from the standpoint of area affected and

Bruin was absorbed in the prospects of fish lunch and a satisfied appetite, the trapper care fully edged off, picked up the trusty rifle and as the sh aggy brown hibernator peered down into the depths of the fish barrel he was tickled to death by soft 'nosed bullet that travelled only a few inches from rifle to target.
 MT. Groshell states that though ti took but few seconds to reach the rifle, he lived his whole life over again-and after this wants his bear companions somewhere else than at his fish barrel while he is in that vicinity.

steady decrease in average annual rainfall for 25 years. Before that time rainfall had been increasing for at least Is years until 1908 when the trend was reversed. Min nesota, for example, had nearly 30 per cent less rain in the 10 years ending in 1883 than in the decade ending in 1908. This decline ot rainfall centered in Minnesota but covered the northern plains to the west, especially the Dakotas, ano extended east to the western lake region. All the drought states have had deficient rainfall for at least two or three years.

The Census Bureau announced
today that on July 81 there were
30,937,816 cotton spinning spin
dies in place in the United States.
of which 24,417,682 were operated
at some time during the month.
compared with 24,690,312 in June
and 26,085, 300 in July a year ago.
The cotton code limits the hours
of employment and of productive
machinery, however, in order that
the statistics may be comparable
with those for earlier months and
years, the same method of COM
putting the percentage of activity
has been used. Computed on this
basis, the cotton Spindles in the

Negotiations are under way for

closure that the Buffalo company
has applied to the Federal District
Court to reorganize. The move to
reorganize was under the new
Federal bankruptcy laws.
The chief object of the reorgan-
ization, it was said, was to "get
out from under" obligations on
leases on branches in several
cities.
Merger plans will be delayed
pending the reorganization, it was
announced. Name of the COM
pany with which the merger is
