east of the Mississippi, and unusually warm weather in the 

 middle and southern portions of the Great Plains and the 

 southwest. This Avas followed by weather of decidedly wintry 

 type, with freezing temperatures from southern Wyoming to 

 the Canadian boundary, and changes elsewhere in the middle 

 western Plains and central Pocky Mountain districts, within 

 twenty-four hours, of from 30° to nearly 60°. Decidedly 

 cool weather for August moved eastward, followed by warmer 

 weather, and by the close of the week temperature conditions 

 had returned to nearly the normal throughout the entire 

 country. The precipitation of the week, as a rule, was con- 

 fined to local showers at widely scattered points, with occa- 

 sionally heavy rainfalls at widely separated points.
