PendIeton Has Had Nearly Six
Inch Rainfall During the
Present Rainy Season,
ALL RECORDS BROKEN
BY RECENT RAINFALL
Precipitation Has Been General and
Crop Outlook Is Good Accordingly
Rainfall for the Year as Com
pared With Normal.

The November which ended yes
terday was the wettest experienced In
Pendleton since the government began
taking observations here 20 years ago.
The amount in excess of the previous
high mark is not much but it is sig
nificent. The excess precipitation
over the normal for the month IL
nearly three inches. In other words
the precipitation for the month Is
nearly three times the normal.
The November excess therefore
overconies the prior existing defi-
cheney for the present wet season and
leaves 2.39 inches to go on. There
has been practically six inches Of
rainfall during the present wet sea-
son, including the months of Septem-
Der, October and November. The nor
NAL rainfall for this period is but
3.59 inches.
The rainfall for the eleven months
of the present year is also now above
the normal though there was a de1-
cheney all through the late spring,
summer and fall.

COOK WROTE STORY
At TROY, new YORK
CROSSED ATLANTIC TWICE
UNDER ASSUMED NAME
Discredited Explorer Now Anxious to
Make Public Believe He Was Sim
cere in Announcing Discovery Of
North Pole.

New York, Dec. 1.-While news
papermen on two continents were
seeking Cook he crossed the Atlantic
twice with no disguise other than an
assumed name. For a month he liv-
ed at Troy, New York. There he die
tated the story of his wandering in
Arctic zone and wrote the confession
that he did not discover the pole.
Benjamin Hampton, editor of Hamp-
tons magazine today gave this infor-
nation in explaining how the arrange
ments were made when Hamptons de-
cided to seek Cook. I'VE communi-
cated with his brother William and
thus learned the name of his London
solicitor. In turn he got Cooks ad-
dress there and then we sent repre-
sentatives to make arrangements for
the story and he brought Cook to
America where the articles were writ
ten" Hampton says Cook is extremely
anxious to push his claim that he was
sincere in announcing the discovery
of the pole as he believed he did 1t.

GOVERNOR CLARK

Walter E. Clark, governor of Alaska, has arrived in Washington to urge the passage of laws which he considers nee essary for the good of the territory. Governor Clark, although a Washing ton correspondent at the time he was appointed, had been in Alaska, and it was believed that his knowledge of the territory would be of value to him in getting acquainted with conditions, and his appeals to the government may meet with some response, although oth- CTS who have come here on similar mis- sions may be disposed to feel pessimis tic about it. However, Alaska IS com ing to occupy larger and larger place in the public eye, and it seems much nearer and more a part of the country than it did few years ago. The peo- pie have awakened to some of the mer- its of Alaska, and it would not be strange if there should set in, before very long, tide of travel which would mean settlement and development--no merely exploitation. Alaska needs home builders and settlers who will cultivate the soil, build railroads and make business for them.

WEEKLY WASHINGTON LETTER
BREEZY GOSSIP NATIONS BYI SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT E. DYER

making very definite plans regarding his proposed trip to Alaska. He is anxious to make this trip, as that terri tory is about the only part of the Unit ed States which he has not seen, and the problems constantly arising with re- gard to the development of that very rich country-rich agriculturally as well as in minerals-make it necessary in the opinion of the president for him to see it and get frst-hand information regarding it. The beauties of the trip up the Inland Passage to Muir Glacier are becoming better appreciated and every year there will be larger and larger tide of travel to the land which seems destined to become known and celebrated as the Switzerland of Amer ica. Travellers speak enthusiastically of it, and it would not be strange if in time Alaska reaped as great harvest from her tourist visitors as she does now from her mines.

Snecial to the Silver Belt.


 WASHINGTON, D. C., April g. Probably it's good policy, as rule, to leave discussions of the weather and the seasons to the almanac and the edi- torial writers. Yet, nevertheless and notwithstanding, it 's sore temptation to discourse upon the advent of spring, and to wager few sesterces with ones self on the probability of this being really spring, or only false start which may be spoiled by an untimely fiareback. In Washington at this writ ing, the soda fountains are flowing the nectar loved by swains and their ga zelle-eyed darlings, the overcoats are being rolled up with mothballs or placed tenderly in cold storage by the gentle men who annually loan small sums on them, and the street vendors are prof fering sweet violets and trailing arbu- tus to the shoppers for spring novelties. More convincing, perhaps, than any of these signs, was the chirp of the lawn mower on the White House lawn the very day after the calendar declared spring was officially here-March %. And this leads to the suppostion that the government gives cognizance to the almanac in marking the change of the seasons.

REcUPERATEs QUICKLY

Probably the chief secret of the pres ident's endurance and recuperation is that he is able to drop off to sleep any time when he has half hour to spare. On the train he can lean back and drop into slumber without an effort. In his motor car, while out for spin in the evening, he can rest comfortably among the. cushions and slumber as peacefully as a child The cares of office do not seem to disturb his sleep. He rests when the opportunity offers Were he af- ficted with insomnia it is likely that the president would go to pieces and end his career in a sanitorium.
