CAREFUL DOCTOR

WEATHER BUREAU IN DENVER

KEN ALL RECORDS
IN AMOUNT OF RAINFALL
BUT STATEMENT DOES NOT IN
cLUoE FIGURES FOR ALL
PARTS OF THE STATE

Denver.-This has been the we:test
year Colorado has experienced since
the United States Weather Bureau
was established here. 81 years ago.
The snowstorm Of Friday brought the
total precipitation for 1909 up to
21.44 inches, just one-hundredth OF an
inch more than the precipitation in
1891, which was 21.43 inches. This
record may be broken by over an inch.
as there is still month and half
OF the year left.
Years in which the precipitation II
anything like as great as in the pres
ent year are extremely rare in this
state. the average precipitation being
only 14.O1 inches. The only other
years which In any way approach the
two record-breaking years in amount
OF precipitation are 1876. with 2O.12
inches, and 1888, 19.49 inches.
The driest year on record Is 1893. in
which the precipitation was only s.4s
inches. Other exceptionally dry years
are 1890 and 1900. with 9.33 inches
each. 1905. with $50 inches. 1888.
with 9.51 inches, and 1880. with 9.5S
inches.
Last year. although the precipita-
ton was nearly six inches less than
the record already made this year. was
wetter than the average year. the pre-
cipitation being 1892 inches. An ex.
tremely dry year was 1907. the precip.
ltation being only 11.S3 inches.
The cause Of the great difference in
the amount Of precipitation in this
state. according to the officials at the
local weather bureau. is the varying
location OF the great storm center In
the Pacific ocean, known as the Pacific
low. II. as in 1907. It lies to the north
