Few people really understand low

the newspaper that so many inches
OF rain have fallen during a certain
period, but It IS difficult to realize
what an inch OF It actually means.
The British Rainfall association have
years records of rainfalls In all parts
Of the United Kingdom. They have
.,eports from several thousand sta.
tions, which are sent in by people
who work the business as kind
OF hobby. There are several wooden
structures now in use for measuring
rain, and these are known as
gauges" The most, skllltrh is coz
trivance with a funnel at the top,
through which the water passes into
cup-receiyer. The weight Of the
rain automatically works a pencil.
This marks on a sheet OF paper wound
round cylinder, and when it has
marked in this fashion two.tenths OF
an inch, the cup tits over and emptles
the contents, The pencil returns TO
It's former position, and the same little
device is repeated necessarily until the
rain ceases to fall, while the pencil
continues to register on the paper
attached.

pictures were perhaps not educational.
 According to Mir. GetcheIl, the people of the other divisions of Alaska, do not realize the hardship imposed the people of the Second Division by the enforcement of the Sunday law. No clothing store retail merchant of any description can do busi ness on Sunday The man from the Creeks who was wont to come in to town on Sunday to buy groceries, clothes and other supplies, is prevented from ac complishing his purpose and yet in many cases Sunday is the only available day he has in which to come to town
 The legislators from the Second Division are all in favor of change in the law, and while there has been not much thought given to the matter in the other divisions because the law has not been cnforc ed it would seem that after hearing the story of the nbcarabIe conditions forced on the people of Nome without warning by outsiders holding official posi- tions, but who nacquainted with Alaskan ideals and sympathics, the legislators of the rest of the territory will be in favor of change in the law
The Cordova daily times., 1915-02-22

One of the Territorial representatives from Nome, W. w. GctchcIl, who is now in Cordova, on his way to Juneau, granted an interview to Times reporter in which the matter of the Sunday closing law was fully discussed.
 It seems certain that bill will be introduced to change the present status of the Sunday law ip Alaska, and the people of Nome are unanimous in their disapprova of present conditions there Every thing is closed Sunday except what is expressly excepted by the statue such drug stores and even fruit store not sell its goods on the LOrd' Day.
 Mr. GctchcIl cited an example of what happcnd at the opening of navigation last year, As every body knows the opening of navigation in the spring is in the nature of a holiday for Nometcs on that day their supplies of fresh vegetables, fruits and other dclccaces which they have been doing without all winter are replcnshed. Last year the first light CT brought ashore the pcrishablc goods, composed largely of fruit, which was early seized by the mer- chants to whom it was consigned, and put on dis

 That fruit looked pretty good to the people there whose only fruit in several months had been the canned variety Hnd the two stores commenced to do a rushing business What was the dismay of the and people however, when they received word to close their stores and stop selling the fruit because it was Sunday and unless the merchants did shut up at once they threatened with arrest and imprisonment. Of course there was nothing to do but close, and all that day the people of Nome walked longingy before the wire screens of the two fruit stores and allowed their mouths to water at the sight of the fresh fruit they craved so much.
 It is such instances as this that have aroused the people of the Second Division to such opposition of the present Sunday law For some reason, the district attorneys office did not close the moving picture show, apparently deciding on the ground that it was an educational exhibition. Yet it is interest
