Richard de Gunpowder was IN en-
thusiast. BE was 90 enthusiastic that
he enlisted in the Harvard hundreds.
Moreover, he was 80 very enthusiastic
that he enlisted twice. Then matters
became confused, for he was assigned
to two different regiments.
In some way, however, he managed
to persuade his superior officers that
he would rather be wholly and entire
ly In one company than partly in two.
So one Of his enlisted selves Joined the
other In the same squad. But now he

California's Snowfall.

That the region OF greatest snowfall 10
the United States Ia in California Is q
fact established in Q paper recently pub
lished by Andrew q. Palmer, assistant
observer of the San Francisco Office Of
the United States Weather Bureau.
To those familiar with tho mild,
equable climate of San Francisco and
other cities where conditions are favors-
BILE this statement will come az . sur.
prise, for the fact Is sometimes over.
looked that California is Q State OF re-
markable contrasts.
California contains the highest point
In the United States, Mount Whitney,
14,502 feet, and the lowest point, In
Death Valley, about $50 feet below sea
level. Along the 1900 miles of coast line
the influence Of the ocean is strongly
felt, while back of the mountain ranges
strictly inland conditions prevail.
On account of Its enormous size the
State can offer variety In climate equal
to it's great variety In natural conditions.
Understanding this, the statements OF
the weather observer are more easily
grasped.
'sFrom San Francisco. where snow
would be the curiosity of q lifetime, to
Reno is not great distance; yet In tax.
ing this trip one would pass through the
point In the Sierra Nevada where the
heaviest snowfall recorded by the United
States Weather Bureau is to be found.
1t Is admitted in the report that there
may be some uninhabited spot In the
United States where tho snowfall is
equally great, but there is no record to
prove II.
"Throughout many square miles
crossed by railways In the Sierras more
than 100 inches of unmelted snow falls
every winter, record that has no equal
10 any other State. And this figure is
often greatly exceeded at some points.
'For example, at Blue Canyon, In
Placer county, the average seasonal
snowfall is 207.2 inches. Al Cisco, In
Placer county, 1t is $40 inches; at For
dyce Dam, In Nevada county, It Is 402 4
inches; at Summit, in Placer county, 1t
Ia 419.8 inches, and at Tamarack, In
Placer county, 1t 10 521.S inches. The
extreme record ct Summit was 780 inches
during the winter of 1S79.80."
