How to Measure Rainfall
Rapid City, April "a, 1911.

Editor Union:
On account Of the diversified topog-
raphy of the country and the fact
that much of the rainfall occurs as
more or less local showers the opinion
is widely prevalent that the record of
rainfall at this station, and those at
the cooperative stations of the
Weather Bureau at Keystone, H er-
mosa Farmingdale, and other places,
90 not accurately express the amount
OF rain which falls at intermediate
places. In the average for long periods
the true value for any intermediate
station may doubtless be quite closely
"Nn"o"im1ted from these records but
!. .s..., ole season, or even for several
III succession, there may be a wide de-
parture from these values 1t has
therefore occurred to me to suggest,
for the benefit of your readers in
farming communities, a method by
means of which they may, with prac-
tlcally no effort or expense, secure an
almost absolutely accurate record of
the rainfall on their own farms for
the entire season, or for such shorter
periods as they may desire.
The method is this: Place can or
similar vessel, an earthen jar, for in
stance, in a convenient position to
catch the rain and where it will not
be molested in any manner The
size OF the vessel does not much
matter only that it must be uniform
throughout. The depth necessary
will depend on the length of time it
is to be exposed. A five inch tomato
can will give good results for month
or two; for the season the vessel
would need to be perhaps sixteen to
eighteen inches deep. Into this vessel
pour few ounces of olive oil: enough
to cover the bottom a aquarter OF an
inch deep. Make sure the vessel is
perfectly level and secured SO that it
will not be tipped over by the wind
or otherwise disturbed and the in
stallation is complete. Olive oil does
not evaporate and the raindrops fall
ing in it Immediately sink to the bot
tom and are thus sealed up by the
oil. At the end of the period for
which the measurement is desired
measure the depth with an ordinary
rule and allow for the depth OF oil on
the surface Of the water
This method Of measurement was
discovered and tested by j. Cecil
Alter of the Salt Lake City station
of the Weather Bureau and his tests
showed that the depth of water re-
tanned under the olive oil at the end
of the season differed by only three
per cent from that recorded in the
station gage. AS this is no more than
the usual allowance for instrumental
and other errors in measurement the
catch in carefully exposed and pro-
tected gage of the kind suggested may
be assumed to represent the true
amount of rainfall for the locality
where it is exposed.

ment recovered from the Southern

ed the terms of the federal grant by
refusing to sell to actual settlers at
$3.50 per acre. The Northern Pa
cific also will be sued on the same
grounds to recover thousasds of acres

One serious obstacle to the govern

Pacific is that, after receiving the
grant, that company changed its cor

ficer stated that before the assault
Patrick tried to get the police to
break up the alliance, and reported
that Byron held the girl under the
influence of either drugs Or hypno-
tism. When asked to leave the girl
alone, according to Patrick, the doc
tor boasted over the telephone to the
girls mother that he was able to sub
jugate any woman in the city.
The case was continued until to-
morrow.
Byron, who is married, had lived
with Miss Patrick for several weeks
before the stabbing. The father tried
to persuade the doctor to stop this
and, failing, stabbed him. Bynon for
several days was close to death.

statesman once said: "Theoreti-

Practically, he has no friends. p"
There is a world of meaning to
that saying. In half century
there has been perhaps, only one
act of legislation written upon the
statute books for the sole benefit
of the farmers, and that was the
rural free delivery mail service,
which was secured by representa-
tives of the Farmers Alliance.
Practically all the balance of the
thousands of volumes of legislation
has been one act of class favorit-
ism after another, in favor of those
who have accumulated what others
