Snow in July and rush of wheat handlers on the Mississippi
A vivid mishmash describes July snow in Colorado, a coachwreck near Crested Butte, and a river steamer crowd scene where wheat workers race for copper coins. It also notes a New Zealand postmaster using his feet, a mother dog and foxes, Gulf of California sea life, and diverse odds and ends from 1903 reports.

Turks Governed Island Colony on Danube With No Tax or Army
The Ada-Katch island, also called Uj-Orsovo, hosts a Turkish colonial community on the Hungarian Danube. Turks here pay no taxes, avoid military service, and live by tobacco, wine, roses, and fishing. The island changed hands between Austrian and Turkish rule multiple times, most recently under Berlin treaty terms in 1878, and remains Mohammedan with Turkish law.
