Professor H. T. Rigelow of Wash
ington, D. C, who has charge of the
climatological work of the United
States for the weather bureau, Is
spending a few days in this city for
the purpose of establishing evapora

the reclamation service, and also ar
ranging with the forest service to de
termine the amount of snowfall lri the
mountains during the winter, says the
Boise Capital News.
In speaking of his work this morn
ing, Professor Bigelow said:
"The study of evaporation is a new
problem taken up by the government
and it is a very Important one in con
nection with the reclamation serv
ice, which is building large storage
reservoirs, which In parts of the
country will be greatly lowered by
evaporation and consequently It can
be readily seen that this feature will
affect irrigation and plant Industry
to a great extent.
"The government Is beginning Its
work at Salton sea, where work has
begun of installing a gigantic evap
oration plant to determine the exact
amount of evaporation on the dry
deserts of California.
"The Salton sea Is now dropping
at the rate of six feet per year and
very little water Is coming in from
the rivers, so It will be easy to deter
mine what the evaporation Is in that
locality and altitude. The plant will
consist of a series of towers in which
pans will be set 10 feet apart which
will show the evaporation at differ

'EDEHAIj SUPERVISION
GOOD FOR BltEEDEUS.
Possible to Raise mid Run Pure, Bred
Registered Sheep on Western Na.
ilonal Forota Reserves Certain
Conditions Neivssary and Govern,
niont Provides These.
Many sheep breeders, especially
those of the east, will bo surprised
to learn that pure bred registered
.sheep may be raised and run on the
open ranges of the west In large
bands without any diminution In the
grade or quality of the product ns
compared to the parent dams and
sires with which the flocks were start
ed, says a forest bulletin. The first
requisite, however, is that an entirely
satisfactory range, properly protected
fiom the intrusion of other flocks and
upon which there Is certain to be the
necessary amount of forage, water
etc., must be assured. At the present
time this condition exists only upon
private lands and within the national
forests of the west which are under
the administration of the forest serv
ice. A noteworthy example of what can
be accomplished in breeding high
grade sheep on properly controlled
open range Is that of Allen Bros., who
graze about 3000 head of registered
Cottswold sheep within the Uinta na
tional forest In the state of Utah.
These bands are the Increase of about
200 head of prize winning stock from
the royal stock show of England and
the international show at Chicago,
purchased and Imported to Utah by
Allen Bros, since 1S92. They have
been grazed within the Uinta nation
al forest since 1903, upon ranges
which nre practically Ideal for sheep
grazing purposes, being well watered,
grassed and shaded, and protected
from the grazing of other sheep.
Careful breeding Is developing a pure
bred type of Cott.swold entirely ade
quate to western range conditions, yet
equal to anything raised under fences
in the eastern United States or In
European countries.
This Is a sample case that demon
strates what range control within tha
national forests is enabling the stock
men of the west to do. There nra
quicker and greater returns to be se
cured from the raising of high grade
stock than from Inferior mongrel
breeds, but In many sections stockmen
have hesitated to Invest In registered
sires and dams because of the uncer
tainty of securing ranges upon which
feed and water are absolutely assured
and without which such ventures
would not Le so remunerative or as
successful as the running of Inferior
grades of stock better adapted to the
severe range conditions that are com
monly encountered because of over
stocking and lack of control.
On national forest ranges the num
ber of stock allowed Is only what the
range is sufficient to sustain under all
conditions, and a stockman who se
cures a permit to graze stock on these
ranges may embark upon the business
of raising high grade cattle and sheep
with every reasonable assurance ot
success.

What It Means
Many people do not know what a bank's
capital means to its depositors, or the differ
ance between a bank of little or no capital,
and one with a large capital. One of the
functions of

is to protect its depositors from possible loss;
therefore the larger it is, the greater protec

Successful OjM'ratloii of the Municipal
Electric Lines.
Consul J. N. MeCunn of Glasgow,
reports that the official details of the
operations of the municipal street rail,
ways of that Scotch city fur the year
ended May 31, show gratifying result,
and gives the following particulars: .
The number of passengers carried
was 22C,94S,290, an Increase of 2,
S S 3,1 92 over the previous year. The
revenue from passenger fares reached
the record figure of $4,416,321, an In
crease of $97,SS3 over tho previous
year's total. While the total receipts
for the year are the highest yet re
corded, the increaso Is tho smallest in
the past 10 years. In 1901-2 the In.
crease of receipts over the previous
year reached the extraordinary sum
of $608,040. This remarkable Increase
was accounted for byJhe fact that at
that time the great extension scheme
was being rapidly utilized, and tha
receipts were proportionately Increas
ed. The total receipts, however, of
that year (1901-2) were only $2,990,
041, so that the revenue has Increased
in six years $1,426,281, or about 60
per cent. The comparatively short ex
tensions of the track mileage -made
during the past year and the Inclem
ency of the weather during the sum
mer and autumn seasons are tho at
tributed causes for the lower rate of
Increaso.
The average track mileage (single)
open during tho year was 179 miles,
ar. Increase of 10 miles. The rates of
fare charged ranged In regular grada
tions from 1 to S cents, over 60 per
cent of the traffic being carried at
the 2-cent rate.

With the advent of the month of

taken up his weary burden after a rest
of several months, and Indications
point to the fact that at the present

that Holso Is sadly In need of rental
