AN "INCH" OF RAIN

Few people have an adequate idea
of the amount of water that descends
from the clouds during a rainstorn.
We read in the weather bulletins that
two or three inches of rain sometim IS
fall in a day, and that in our rainy
spell nearly FIVE inches fell in forty
eight hours; hut these figures really
convey very little information to our
minds and give us no idea at all of the
prodigality of nature.
An acre = contains 6,272, ,640 square
inches of surface, and an inch of rain
means, therefore. the same number
of cubic inches OF water. ~ gallon
contains 277.27 cubic inches Of water,
and an inch of rainfall means 22,622
gallons to the acre, and, as a gallon of
water weighs ten pounds, the rainfall
on an acre is 226, ,220 pounds. Count
ing 1000 pounds to the ton, an inch of
rain means over 113 tons per acre.
block, so that a rainfall of an inch
means a downpour of about 226 tons
of water on every city block. Null
tiply this by five, the number of in
ches of rainfall during the wet spell
in the last week in May, and no one
can wonder that the cutters were in
sufficient to carry off the water. The
occasional overflow of sewer in the
lower part of town is regarded as a
very remarkable thing, but the
wonder really is that there is not an
overflow every time it rains.-St
Louis Globe Democrat.

HOLMES IS CLEARED OF

Roasted by Attorney Baker

Simon W. Holmes, charged with the
murder of Mrs. A. Albertson, was
cleared of all suspicion and completely
exonerated at the examination held
last week.
The examination was held in Justice
Morris court, and was conducted by
County Attorney Baker. The defen-
dant was represented by Attorney r.
Lee McCulloch.
Although the inquisition conducted
by the coroner had been most thorough
and the six jurors and all the authori-

was case of suicide, County Attorney
Baker felt that in justice to all con-
cerned the examination should be
made as searching ds possible and, &C

case were subpoenaed and were given
free rein in submitting testimony.
No less than . witnesses were sworn

GOOD ROADS ADVICE.
Minnesota Highway Conn missioner
Gives Some Pertinent Points.

Minnesota Highway Com ssiOner
Gives Some Pertinent Points.
George w. Cooley, secretary and en-
gineer Of the Minnesota highway com
mission, has issued the commissions
bulletin No. 1. 1t deals in detail in in
structions as to the proper method OF
building substantial roads in various
kinds of soil at the least expense, says
the Motor News. Mr.. Cooley gives the
following rules for the guidance of
road overseers throughout the state:
Keep all lines Of drainage open. Keep
ruts and hollows out of the road by
continuous filling and dragging. Keep
stones, sod and all vegetable matter off
the road surfaces. Fill all low places
and holes with the same material of
which the road is built.
| See the culvertS are In condition to
/ take care of the flowing water, espe-
cially before freezing up time, and
open them up as early in the spring as
possible. Don't change your men and
teams around too much. They will give
more satisfaction If kept at the same
class of work.
Keep weeds and brush away from
the sides of the road as much as possi'
BILE, and wherever the road is too much
shaded, especially If it is clay, trim the
trees up to height Of eight feet above
the ground.
Never disturb a government corner
or boundary monument without seeing
that it Is re-established by some com,
petent surveyor and with the knowl
edge of the adjacent prOprietors. 1t is
their property, even though 1t Is in q
public highway, and you will be liable
for damages if you disturb it without
giving due notice.
All the material within the limits ol
the right of way may be used for roat
purposes only. You have no right t.
the grass or timber or to the earth 0
stone not required for the road. Al
such belong to the abutting owner t
the center of the road, but in his U.s.
or taking of them he Is limited by tn
right of the authorities to make what
ever use Of them that Is necessary 70

MRS. SARAH Mcleod IS DEAD
Wife of VIM. Mcleod Passes Away
at Victor I'm MissouIa.

Mrs. Sarah Mcleod, wife of VIM.
Mcleod, died at her home near Victor
on Saturday afternoon of Bright's dis
ease and appendicitis. On account of
her condition it was thought best not
to operate, as this would undoubtedly
result fatally, and that she might sur
vive if such was not done.
Mrs. Mcleod, together with her
children, came to Montana a year ago
last April from Sackeville, N. B., hav-
ing been preceded by MIR. Mcleod, +,
who had purchased an interest in a
ranch near Victor. She was distinc
lively a home woman, and yet she
visited in Hamilton on numerous oc-
casions, when she made many friends
and acquaintences, all of whom will
hear with the deepest regret of her
taking away. The deceased leaves
besides her husband two children,
Beverly, aged "a years, and Blanche,
aged 18. There are also sister and
two brothers living In New Brunswick,
The funeral was held in Missoula on
Monday afternoon under the auspices
of the Odd Fellows, and wds attended
by large number of sorrowing
friends. Interment was made in the
Missoula cemetery.
