HICKS FOR JANUARY.

Reactionary storm disturbances in the
form of rain, sleet and snow will process
from west to east at the opening of jan
uary, showing the influence of Mercury
by thick prolonged cloudiness with
heavy sleet in most parts of the country,
a rapid rise of barometer, high northerly
winds, snowdrifts, and cold wave may
be looked for about the 1st to 3rd.
About the 4th the barometer will fall
decidedly, it will grow much wa.mer
and until the 4th heavy winter storms OF
rain, snow and sleet will pass from the
western to the eastern part of the CONT
nent.
Very general and damaging sleet
storms will be marked characteristic OF
this period followed by, from west and
northerly, driving wind, blizzardoiis
SHOWS, rising barometer and very cold.
Look for severe weather over most
parts of the country from about the lth
to 1lth progressively, of course, not with
the same degree of cold everywhere dur
inc that time; watch for the wave and
do not be surprised if it bits you be-
tween these dates. Remember cold
waves are progressive and usually come
from the west and abide with you only a
short time and move on 90 the east. .
About the 18th or 10Th the cold will
shift to southelly bringing more rain,
sleet and snow.
The next regular storm period is CEN
trail on the 18th reaching from the 10th
to 2Oth. about this time the storms-will
touch their eliminating crisis IN ali
central to eastern parts OF the country:
The moon passes south of the celestial
equator on the 18th hehce high tempera-
ture for the season with winter thunder
and lightning to southwark, but tropical
features will soon disappear and genuine
winter storms turning to billiards. in
many sections will quickly follow. Not
only for your own interests bat for
the sake of your dumb animals take some
thought and foresight for their proper
shelter and food at this season.
About the 22nd to oath slight modu-
lation of temperature with falling barom-
eter and return of rain or snow III
wide sections. The last storm period Tor
the month extends from the 9th to the
31st. New Moon falls on the 2Sth, a
facts VIII ch will hasten the change back
to very marked storm conditions; Care
full observers will not be long in discover
ing that change warmer, with falling
barometer and other storm indications
appear about the times Of the new moon.
The last four days Of January will be
influenced by the Venus pertuTbations
and very sudden and extreme changes
of temperature will occur with winter
rains, wind and thunder, changing with
surprising suddenness into fearful biz,
yards and tempestous winds and cold
waves. Some such results need not sur
prise any reader of these forecasts during
the last of January.

Nushagak.

NrsHAGAx. July l9.-The sough of the wind and the clank of the filling machine is the ouly music to cheer an otherwise deary day on the Nushagak. The filling ma chine aforesaid is filling cans with the famous Alaska red salmon at at the rate of sixty-four cans per minute, and there are thirty of those machines running in the ten canneries on this river. That means four hundred and fifty tbous- and cases of salmon in seaeoo of eighteen days run of fish This accounts for the fleet of four hun dred Columbia river fishing hcats manned by eight hunred hardy fishermen out on these waters of the river and bay, and the four hundred fathom nets drifting with the tide, ready to ensare the myri- ads of salmon, as they make their way to the spawning ground in fresh water. It is a reason for the fifteen large ships anchored in the river waiting for the "pack" to be stow cd in their holds, so they can sail away to large warehouses at their home ports, from whence the Alas ka Red is shipped to the uttermost parts of the earth. 1t accounts for the nineteen tug boats going hither and thither. towing the thirty lighters and scows loaded with from ten to sixty thousand fish each to the maws of the filling machines. It is these same hungry filling ma chat cause the hustling and rum ming of 1900 Chinese and Japanese who cut and clean and cook, who solder and test and label and stow the millions of cans, that are turned out by the busy little can-making machines. 1 believe that for a space of twenty days from July 2d to July 22d, the Nushagak river, within the distance of twenty miles, is the busiest place in Alaska. for within that distance and within that time are caught, cleaned, cook ed and packed s2,2OO,OOO worth of Alaska red salmon. will put the Nushagak, for box of perfectos, for more fish and less sleep against any other place in the world.
