vicra, men like to read about
cold weather elsewhere. Sun

sheep died in flocks, froen
stiff, farmers unable to reach
them.
When ivr realize that "abso

dreds of degrees below Zero,
exists throughout space just
outside of our thin atmosphere,
only ":0 miles deep, and that

Hence the importance of de

in bonds of the Cram Pats Irri
Kaitiin district, theri-by taking an
other step towards reorganization
and refinancing of the district.
More than H '2 per cent of the bond
holders, or those holding Sl.M,
000 of th bonds, have now accept
ed the plan of reorganization.
The district tins been in default
since January 1, lies, but will bo
able to resume interest payments
as soon as the reorganization phiu
has been accepted by a sufficient
number of bondholders. No reduc
tion in 1 he bonded indebtedness
is contemplated, but a reduction
to two per cent in the interest rate
for the first five years and four
tier cent after five years are con
templated. "Funds are now available for
the payment of interest anil are
being held awaiting Ihe further de
posit of bonds, ' said Stale Kngi
neer 1 ,u per. "The com in it tee is
having mmif difficulty in locating
the remaining bonds, as they are
not registered.
'The committee has had full co
operation of all California bond
holders, itml it Is believed that
practically all the remaining bonds
are held in the northwest."
If the remaining bondholders
agree to the reorganization pltm,
the f iranUi I 'ass district will be
the first completed reorganizal Inn
under the new act. So far the
work Ims been curried on entirely
by mail, but Lupcr believes it will
be necessary to get inio personal
