In 1882. March was rather wet
but April was absolutely perfect.
Eight light showers fell. 50 that
ploNs, harrows, soe lers and sewers
never lost an hour, and the farm
goose hung high. In May rain fell
on sixteen days 10 depth of over
eleven inches. 1t raincd twenty
days in Juno, with 4 total of ten
and one.half inches July and Aug
ust turned off even thirty days of
rain. measuring just n little less
than eleven inches More ram fell
in the four m nths Of May, June,
July aud Aug ST than ever record

crops were practically destroyed by
those tcrrential rains 1t is not

on crops, but it is evident from tho
trend of his article that be leans to
that opinion.
If comets ness up the weatehr,

Forests of the North.

Capitalists have long had visit
ful eyes on the splendid forests Of
southeastern Alaska. A recent
bulletin of the department Of
Agriculture says that in this To-
cality the annual average rain
fall is about ninety inches and
the trees grow to a large size. In
the central plateau of Alaska the
precipitation is less than Is
inches and the average size of
timber is small.
The total forest area of ALASKA
is approximately 100 million
acres about 81 per cent OF the
land area. OF this about2O mil
lion acres bear timber of sufficient
size and density to be used as
saw timber.
The stand of trees averages for
considerable areas $4,000 feet
per acre. The usual timber cut
in the coast forests OF Alaska is
about 81, 100000 board feet, al
mostentirely spruce. hesouth-
ern and southeastern coast hav-
ing a much larger timber supply
than will be needed locally for a
long time to come, much of the
hemlock should be cut and the
spruce given an opportunity to
increase. The cutting that has
so far taken place on the coast
of Alaska has had butsmall effect
upon the forest; the bulk is yet
untouched.

According to figures prepared
by the census bureau, the larger
cities of the country pay more
for schools and for police and fire
protection and related service
than on all other accounts and
of these three items the payment
on account of schools is much
the largest, the per capita ex-
pense for schools being $40 as
compared with 1925 for police
and $1.72 for fire protection.
The figures are given out as a
part OF the bureaus report COW
ering the financial operations for
cities during the year 1908. The
report covers all cities of more
than 3O,000population, of which
there are 1913. The aggregate
cost of operating these cities was
$494, 997, 312. The report indi-
Gates a general increase of the
cost OF maintaining government.
In 1901 the averages was $1.36
per capita. By 1908 it had ad-
vanced to $16.S1. OF the total
amount more than one-fourth
was paid by New York. Phila-
delphia's expenditures were only
about one-fourth as much as
those Of New York.

The republicans OF the state OF
Oregon are now declaring the
primary law a failure and are
trying to getaway from it. They
had previously declared the con-
vention system a failure and
established direct primaries in
stead. They are, we think, still
wrong and still cropping in the
dark. The convention system is
not a failure, nor is the directpri-
mary a failure, but partyism as
it exists in Oregon and elsewhere
is a failure. Any system would
fail under the same circumstan-
ces. Psrtyism is failing all over
the nation today, and is being
