The Amicitias of Pleasant Plains
cinched the title of champion of
Ststen Island last night when they
rolled their second match in the roll
off of the triple tie in the All Staten
Island League tourney with the Nor
woods and Oceanics at Stapleton. In
the two matches to date they have
won four games and lost none. De-
spite the fact that they have another
match to roll, the team has won the
title. There Is a possibility of one or
the other of the teams tied for Sec
ond place to tie the Amicitias again
by winning two games next Monday,
while the Plainsmen are losing two
games, but even that chance is re-
mote, for in case of a tie the team
with the largest pinfall will be the
winner, and with the team scores
rolled last night the Amis seem to
have a very safe lead.
The first match was rolled between
the Amicitias and the Oceanics. the
latter bowling a round 500, and the
Plainsmen being fifteen pins ahead of
them. In the game Norman Cawse
rolled 256, q wcpderfuI showing, but
still better in the light of his score
in the second gaite against the Npr-
woods, when he hit 225 for g. nights
average for the two games OF $40
pins. The entire Amfcitia team was

CITY OF SEATTLE CUTS
 OUT PORT WALTER CALI

The steamer City of Seattle which sailed southbound from Juneau this morning will not call at Port Wal ter as reported, to pick up the crew of cannery girls. The Seattle is slightly behind her schedule and is unable to run at full speed on ac- count of slight engine trouble. For this reason she cancelled the Port Walter call and it will be made by one of the other boats of the Pa cific Steamship Company.
 The Seattle this morning had a full load of passengers. Among those leaving Juneau were w. H. Nickerson, Fred Rodant, James Rob- ertson, V. A. Robertson, Charles Curry, R. E.

Weather Observer Gives Some Details of An Unprecedented
 Wet Spell.
OTHER ALASKAN TOWNS
Compared with Other Sec tiOnS Juneau Residents May Take Some
 Comfort.

Persons who have been residents of Juneau for a number of years state that the wet spell that ended yesterday was, unprecedented in length and in the amount of rain that fell While the memory of the oldest inhabitant" is often faul- ty when it comes to weather data, the contention of our old-timers seems to be borne out by the rec ords of the weather bureau
 M B. Summers, in charge of the Bureaus work in Alaska, says that the rainy spell began on September 11th, and that during the 65, days from that date to yesterday rain or snow fell on all days except Sep tember 24th and October 18th. On October 5th, however, the amount of precipitation was too small to measure. During the last two de cades of September the precipita- tion was 1217 inches; in October 1864 inches, and in the first four teen days of November, 9.26 inches, making a total for the 65 days 40.17 inches.
 Reliable observations of temper ature and precipitation have been made intermittently at Juneau since 1881, and the records since that time total about twenty-five full years. The greatest monthly amount recorded in that period was 20.51 inches of rain and melted snow in January, 1891, and the greatest amount in any two consecutive months was 2977 inches in October and November, 1890 as against 30.91 inches in September and October of this year. The autumn of 1890 seems to have been very wet one, for the total precipitation for Sep tember, October and November was 46.8S, or GIT inches more than our total so far this fall since Septem- Der 1st.
 But while Jupiter Pluvius has been unusually active around Juneau, he has been even more so in other parts of Alaska. At Ketchikan, for instance, he showered total of 36.73 inches of rain in September and October, at Loring 36.65 inches; at Sitka, 30.73 at Sulzer 41.58 in ches; at Latouche 34.35 inches; at Seward in September alone, 1886 inches, and at Cordova in Septem- Der 30.S5 inches. We Juneauites can take some comfort from these figures and reflect that it might have been worse"

SOLDIERS FROM ALASKA LIKES TOBACCO FUND ZeII McCIelIand Proud of Growth of The En-
 pire'S Tobacco
 Money. MISS YANKEE SMOKES Plenty of English and French Tobacco,
 But Tt Is Dif-
 ferent."

Zell McClelland, a Juneau soldier boy in France, emphatically endorses the efforts of Our Boys in France Tobacco Fund, and expresses great pride in Alaska at the manner in which the people have responded to The Empires work ito light pipes in the trenches" fs..0
 MT McClelland writing to Frank Martin, of this city, from Base Hos pital No. 5, U. S. Army. France, under date of October 8, 1917, says ::
 Dear Frank-Two patches of pa in the last week. If you knew how much I enjoyed getting them you would feel tickled with yourself.
 'fIt makes me feel proud of Alas ka to read about the way that two bit tobacco fund is growing. The boys have missed their American to- bacco ever since they left the States They ran out of smokes on board the boat coming across, and they have had very little American to- bacco since. We can get English and French tobacco, but it is cured differently, and does not taste the same. anii
 For about three months have changed over and am working days We answer reville and start work at 6 a. m. and we get through at D. m., except when there is special work to do at night
 q suppose quite number of the boys have left the North to join up. One of The Empires told about Bob Wilson of Thane going to the officers training school at San Fran. cisco.
 ''I wish we had some of the Thane bunkhouses here in camp. They would be luxuries with their shower baths and electric lights. Do you remember how snug we used to keep that old room with the steam radia- tor and the little electric stove?
 
 Two of my brothers have enlist ed-the eldest is in the goth Engin- eers (Foresters), and the younger brother is in the ambulance corps.'
 
 After this war is over and we all get back home again I want to see you and have a good old-time talk once more. I learned as much from you during that winter, as I learned from my book studying. Y
 Thanks again for the Empires. "As ever,
 Mac" Zell McClelland was employed at Thane. At one time he was ia nous member of the University of Washington track team.
 Pick Your Man Those sending tobacco to France through Our Boys in France To bacco Fund may designate to whom they want it sent, if they have a l choice. There are many Alaska I boys at the front However, if they are willing to leave it to the com mittee they may be assured that there will be a fair distribution and that 45 cents worth of tobacco will be delivered to a soldier for each 25 cents contributed.
