slBLanL seDL 10 tnlF oIHce statement OF tns
condition of the barometer along the coast, anc
a statement Of the rain which has fallen dur
ing previous seasons to a corresponding date
The closing of the communication sounds
very much as though he feared that ar
investigation into the workings Of his officC
would be demanded by this apparently
outraged people It is as follows
The barometer last night at the P. N re-
port was falling slowly from Olympia TO Lo:
Angeles, and slowly rising at San Diego
The weather was clear at Sacramento, fair al
Los Angeles and Roseburg, and the remain.
ing portion Of the Pacific slope was cloudy.
A sprinkle OF rain has fallen In the past eight
hours at Olympia, Roseburg and San Diego,
while at Oregon the large amount of .0S OF
an inch was precipitsted in the past twenty.
four hours. What the weather for the next
twenty.four hours, or even forty.eigh;
hours, will be, is complicated con.
undrum that everybody gives up. The
rainfall for the past six seasons up TO
the present date was as follows For the
season of 1878, 90 inches; 1889, 1859
inches 1880, 10. ~ inches; 1SS0-Sl, % 81
inches; 1872, 14.07 inches; 1882 8, 1888
inches. We have, therefore, for the present
season more rain to date than was precipi-
tsted TO corresponding date during 1879 80.
It ought to be in order to compare that sea-
son 30 far with the present, and see what the
crop amounted to in the summer of 1880. Il
is constitutional and hereditary failing Of
the farmer, rancher, agriculturist, or what
ever name tiller of the soil may be termed,
to grumble and complain, for it is either
too much moisture or too little ; they will be
either ruined by rust or drought. / do not
See but what the tiller of the soil has kept
pace with other classes of industry in the
improvement of their surroundings and
money-making faculties. I shall hope for
rain soon, but from what grain l saw in a
ten mile ride 10 the country to-day, l am any
thing else but discouraged at the prospects of
the crop Of the summer of 1888.
