SHARICk TELLS
 WHY 1T RAINS

According to l. J. Sharlck, who has been in the jewelry business in Jun eau for many years and who for ten years kept a weather record for Jun eau, the Capital City, is located in certain zone that Is ruled entirely by temperature SO far as rainfall Is concerned. Atmospheric pressure has nothing whatever to do with the pre- cipitation of rain. he declares, and barometer readings are of no value in trying to select picnic weather in this section.
 This zone. according to MT. Shar- lck. occupies an area of about 30 to 50 miles in width by 200 to 25O miles in length and lies between the coast range of mountains of the mainland and the chain of mountainous islands that form the outer wall of the basin.
 The moisture from which the rain fall in this zone is derived is always here, MT. Sharick says - has been caught and trapped by these noun tain ranges of the mainland and the chain of islands. It (the moisture) moves up or down as the temperature dictates. A warm dry spell sends the moisture up just like smoke through chimney, It remains in the upper air area until the proper temperature causes 1t to fall again as rain.
 The temperature most favorable for rainfall Is between 4S to 5S. It hardly ever rains when the temperature is above 50, and very little falls when the temperature has descended to 40, The rainfall is governed, Mir. Sharick says, by the warmth of the ocean and the altitude of the mountains which cause the varying temperatures.

 Dispatch.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Presi- dent Wilson has withdrawn from en- try tract of land at the mouth of the Nenana river, which empties in- to the Tanana river about 100 miles below Fairbanks, and it is taken here as indicating that the government road will be constructed up the Susit- na river.
