Rainfall and Tree Growth.

A report has recently been published
which shows how closely the growth of
trees is dependent upon rainfall. Not
only was this seen in the case of one
and two year old trees, but in an in
vestigation extending over q period
Of twelve years, during which time the
annual rings Of growth were carefully
examined With an annual precipita-
ton Of from thirty to thirty-five inches
a width Of ring was produced varying
from IL to .15 inch. If. on the other
hand, there was either an unusually
large or small rainfall in any given
year this was followed by a CORE
spending tree growth in the following
year-Harper's Weekly.

JUDGE
EAKIN
RESIGNS
Turner oliver Will Probably
Be Judg, of the Ninth Ju-
dicial District

Judge Robt. Eakin. of La Grande,
rendered his resignation today as
Judge of the tenth judicial district,
to take effect December 31st. Judge
Eakin will begin his duties as judge
of the supreme court early in Janu-
airy, and it is understood that he re"
signs early In order that Governor
Chamberlain may have ample time
to appoint Judge for the tenth dis
trict to fill Judge Eakin's unexpired
term, which is nearly two years.
The tenth district was created two
years ago and comprises the counties
of Union and Wallowa. The salary
is $4,000 year. and it will be seen
that the appointment is a good one.
Governor Chamberlain is out of
the city. and no expression can be
had from him as to whom will fall
the vacant judgeship; yet those who
are familiar with the politics OF
Eastern Oregon, and who have been
most closely watching the trend OF
recent events in that section say
that Hon. Turner oliver, of La
Grande, will be appointed.
Mr.. Oliver is a lawyer of fine at
tainments, is well-known throughout
the state. and is one of the most pop
ular men in the district. From a
purely political standpoint he is the
logical man for the place.
There are other candidates. Amone
them are Thomas II. Crawford, oi
Union; d. w. Sheahan. of Wallows
county; Judge Ramsey, and ]. ID
Slater, of La Grande. and Judge b
Frank Wilson, of Union.
In the case of the appointment o.
Mr.. Oliver. which is practically con
ceded, those who claim 10 know sa!
the appointment Will be the outcom'
OF what makes very pretty politica
story.
