An Inch of Rain

An exchange says: The editor has many times been asked what an inch of rain is. and we have, without success. made an effort to figure it out, but the Philadelphia Bulletin gives the following ex- plantations:
 "An acre is 6,272,64O square inches. An inch of water on an acre is therefore 6.272,640 cubic inches. That amount at 227 cubic inches to the gallon, equals 22,0OO gallons, or 22O,0OO pounds. or 100 tons. An inch of rain is, in other words, rain falling at the rate of 100 tons to the acre"

Texas for Prohibition

From the present indications the next legislature in the state of Texas will submit the question of statewide prohi hibition to the vote of the people, and in view of the fact that over 15O counties of the state are now dry underline county local option law it is not difficult to pre- dict the result of such a vote.
 The democratic state convention has adopted a platform for the sub mission of a prohibition amend ment to the constitution and it is not likely that any kind of revolu tion can take place between now and election that would place Texas in any other than the Democra tic column. Prohibition, therefore, seems almost assured.
 With such a situation in Texas and with campaign for state wide prohibition on in Tennessee, South Carolina, Virginia, Florida and Arkansas. the prospects are not at all vagne that before another year rolls around, New Orleans will be the only place in the south where a man can legally get drink.

Col. Greene's Car Attached

A San Francisco dispatch dated September 5, says: The private car belonging to Col. w. c. Greene. the Cananea copper magnate. who arrived with his family from the Orient Thursday, has been seized by the sheriff here and the trip of Col. Green to the south della ayed.
 The seizure was made on an at tachment resulting from suit filed by DIE B Perrin for the recovery of $112,O 2,OOO alleged to be due the plaintiff as purchase price of eer- tain Arizona land sold to Col. Greene.
 Dr. Galbraith, Col. Greene's pri- vate physician and secretary said the seizure of the car was merely the result of a misunderstanding.
 About two months ago the car was seized by similar procedure at Santa Barbara on the part of Dr. Perrin because of Gresne's refusal to pay for the Babioomari land grant which Perrin alleges he sold to the copper magnate.
