spending months in the eastern portion
OF the state. The temperature IN March.
April. September and October is sens1biy
the same in both sections Of the state.
Before entering upon the subject Of rain
fall distribution in Washington the OBJ
serrer invites attention TO the prevailing
opinion among fasteners and Others
that one-third of this state is de,uged
year In and year out with phenomenal
rains, while the other two-thirss is almost
rainiess;" . more erroneous or absurd
idea Of the true condition Of affairs could
not be imagined.
While il is perfectly true that the mean
amount of rainfall over the western halves
of Caallam. Jefferson, Chehalis and Pacific
counties ranges from % to l07 inches, yet
this does not justify any one in jumping
ut the conclusion that this enormous rain
rail- covers the entire state. This area OF
very heavy rainfall represents but s per
cent. of the total area Of the state and
further, the bulk Of it occnrs during the
three winter months. the rest Of the year
the rainfall being tolerabiy well distributed
and not at all excessive.
Now as to the alleged rainless region Of
Washington. it should be borne in mind
that over that portion OF the state to the
east OF the Cascade range there is "a aver
age annual rainfall OF 10 80 inches, or l. IS
inches per month. clearly establishing the
fact that there is no such thi ng as rain
less region in this state. :.
The mean annual rainfall in Western
Washington is not quite IS inches. Jam
uary, with mean monthly fall of Isl
inches, and December. with 762 inches,
are the two wettest months in the year,
while July, with 0.96 inch, and August
with Lib inches, are the two dryest
months.
Beginning with January. which has a
mean monthly fall OF 7.S2 inches, we find
that February has s a. March 5. so inches,
April 3.2l inches, May at inches, June
1.N inches. July O96 inch. August l.lS
inches. September S.Si inches October l. 81
inches. November 6.94 inches aud Decem-
Der 7.65 inches.
In Eastern Washington the rainfall
during the dry season, from May 10 Sep
TENDER, is about half wha; il is during the
wet season. In this section December is
the wettest month. with an average fall OF
25S inches; then comes January, with II
inches. February has 2.os inches. March
1.0 inches, April l.33 inches, May LIS
inches. June oSS inch. July 056 inch,
August OF inch, September 096 inch.
October L92 inches and November l.5S
inches
1t is thought by many that the rainfall
In this state during the rainy season is
continuous. As matter OF TACT in the
greater portion of Western Washington.
when the rainy days are more frequent
than elsewhere in the state, every other
day in October and March is rainless,
while during the intervening months the
number Of rainy days is slightly greater,
rising to three days out of four in Decem-
Der. the rainies: month. In the eastern
portion OF the state the frequency Of
rainy days is, Of course. much less. Dur
ing the dry season Washington is favored
with many hne. clear and pleasant days
and goodly amount OF sunshine.

Paying Out Gold.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-The Treasury
Department here has begun paying out
gold for all checks presented. Redemption
of paper money is made in the same class
of money. Gold payments have been made
at all sub Treasures for some days under
orders from here, az noted at the time.
The reason for the gold payments here is
that the Treasury, because Of small re-
ceipts and large expenditures, has ex-
hausted its paper money. The Treasury
books show $97, 600, 600 gold reserve and
a net balance Of $11, 900, 600. This balance
is composed almost entirely of subsidiary
coin. The reserve is being used in paying
the obligations of the Government

Series Of Fatalities Thereupon Give Rise

Series OF Fatalities Thereupon Give Rise
60 y Cholera Scare.
New YORK, Aug. 26.-On Sunday last
party consisting OF Mrs Lewis, aged 80,
John Morse, negro, Catharine Collins,
IS years old, and Gus Hasslacher, aged 10.
at West Bergen, were enjoying crab sup
per. Suddenly Morse staggered across
the room and shouted that he was
poisoned He was in terrible. agony, and
died within 10 hours. A post morten ex-
animation revealed the fact that he died
from cholera morbus
The incident did not break up the rev.
elry, for il is shown that the party kept
on eating and drinking until Tuesday,
when some one of the party went fishing
and caught large number of crabs
which were boiled from water taken from
the steel works Three victims were taken
sick the same night. Gus Hasslacher was
taken to his home, where he died on
Thursday. Mrs. Ann Lewis died the same
day.
The last victim, Catharine Collins, died
yesterday at her home. At first it was
thought that cholera had broken out, and
excitement ran high. A consultation
among the health officers last night ended
in the unanimous opinion that the sewer
age of the steel works, which empties into
the river. poisons 1t with animal matter.
The crabs eating the seaweed take the
poison into their system. and thus become
dangerous as food.

weavsrs Laid On.

SoMERvrILE, N, j., Aug. 26-Forty
spinners and weavers employed in the
Somerville Woolen Mills here were laid off
last Saturday. James Brown, jr., treasu-
rer of the mills, said that the reason OF the
close WIS because they desired to allow
the cutting department to catch up with
other departments. The mills make their
cloth into clothing and at the present time
they do not care TO keep big stock of un-
cut goods on hand. They will probably
start on full time early in September. The
merchants here FEEL very much concerned
over the reduction in the Raritan Mills.

The FINANCIAL NEWS
New YORK, August so, 1895.

New YORK. August 26 1895.
The market today opened somewhat
lower as London sold about 5000 shares.
still the market experienced a couple OF
bul spurts which were no doubt made to
dispose Of long stock. As soon as
the bank statement was issued, however.
the whole market fell ff,closing at quite
a concession.
The bank statement has a decidedly en-
eouraging showing an increase In reserve
OF over five millions and decrease IN
loans OF nearly three millions and
although the statement was better than
expected still stocks were on top and
the market looks to us II advanced
solely for the purpose or liquidation.
The feeling in financial circles has
changed very much for the better ana IL
looks as though Wall street had seen tn g
worst.
Railroad earnings are generally very
disappointing. Although passenger
traffic to the fair is very large still on the
other hand freight business has fallen OH
ana practically amounts TO nothing.
The freight business Is not likely 10 I'M
prove until the currency situation De-
comes better, and there is money enough
obtainable TO move the crops.
The number of failures throughout the
country has been very large. but the
banks have adopted a very liberal policy,
that any commercial house, which
can make good showing. can obtain all
the accommodation necessary. Tnis
action on the part OF the banks has averted
quite number of suspensions.
In regard to the stock market we do
not expect TO see much OF an improve
ment in values at present. The market
has experienced quite rally and abe re-
peal OF the silver bill has undoubtedly
been discounted.
