Ths Question of Rain.

In view of the question of droughth
which is Low Of vital Importance to
t e farmers of California, and has ex-
cited some attention among those of
Oregon on account of u lack of the
usual rainfall in March, we have inter-
viewed Mr.. j. ]. Many, the obliging
superintendent Of the signal service av
this place, and from him we learn the
following facts. The average rainfall
in this section of Oregon Is 38 inches
ard 37-l00 for one year from the first
of january. This is not the proper
month to commence the year with as
the rainy season usually commences an
December, but the record shows that
since the first of Octobe. 1884 to the
first Of April 1855. we have had but
l9 inches and 69-l00, so thab deduct
ing the next | ece ii Der rains, which last
year was 9 inches and 20-l00, we have
still left US nearly ten inches to fall
between now and tie first Of October.
THIS amount has always fallen, SO olr
farmers therefore need not have any
fears as to failure Of the crop. The
rain We usually have in March came
in February. which gave 5 inches and
28-100, while that of March was only
28-l00 of an inch. Crops never fail
in Douglas county. TIE lowest rain
fall on record is that of 1880 and that
was 3 inches andi44-1Oo The mean
