Southwestern Collection
in Austin a collection of fifty-four photographs made by Wister in
1893. The photographs were taken in San Antonio and on the Colton
and Savage ranches near Brownwood.
The Accessions section of our Southwestern Collection could become
a very useful reference tool if our coverage could be made more rep-
resentative. How about a few more of you museum administrators,
librarians, and archivists sending us accounts of significant accessions
to your collections?
Clippings
For generations Texans have cussed their weather; now they can
read about it "in all its varied productions," to borrow a phrase from
Sam Houston. The University of Texas Bureau of Business Research
is distributing weather profiles for nearly one hundred climatological
substations in the state. Such a one-sheet summary contains a wealth
of information, including a description of the area in which the sub-
station is located, a history of the substation, a description of spring,
summer, fall, and winter in the area, and temperature and rainfall
charts. Much of this information has been obtained by an unsung and
unpaid group of enthusiasts called Cooperative Weather Observers,
who take rainfall and temperature measurements in their respective
communities as often as four times daily and forward them to the
Environmental Science Services Administration. The results make fas-
cinating reading. Who, for instance, having been in Weatherford,
Texas, on August 11, 1936, when it was 113 degrees Fahrenheit, would
have believed that on February 12, 1899, it was i 1 degrees below zero
there?

Colorado River in Nevada, dug into the remains of a fifth-century
B.C. Anasazi Indian settlement. Archeologists from Prescott College545
