Assinniboine is sixty-eight miles north
east of Fort Benton. near the center of
the great valleys and far-reaching pla-
teaus Of Northern Montana, all of which
receive about the same rainfall noted ut
that place. We have also before us the
table of rainfall at Fort Benton for elev-
en- years ending 1885,, from which we take
the following averages: For the months
Of March, April and May, 4.15 inches.
For the months of June, July and Au-
gust, 4.75 inches. The greatest precipi
tation is in June. The tables were pre-
pared by the war department signal ser
vice at this city and are absolutely cor
rect. They show an average rainfall Of
nearly nine inches during the crop grow
ing months for eleven years. This pre-
cipitation upon rich sandy loan resting
upon substratum of clay impervious to
water is the secret of crop raising in
Northern Montana without irrigation.
The foregoing table was published in
the LEADER several weeks ago, but it
will bear repetition. 1t is sound non
irrigation gospel.

Col. Sanders made his appearance and
having looked over the law said that the
new governor could only be sworn in by
supreme judge, district judge or =
