as he had lulled everyone to sleep,
he turned off the water. AS a result
Bismarck had only six-hundredths of
an inch precipitation, while Dickinson
got .43, Bottineau. 60; Bowbells, SO.

Wind vstoI,c:ity.G

Some builders of windmf1ls estimate
that wind Of is miles an hour may
be expected for eight hours per day
on, the average for every day in the
year. This does not mem that such
wind can be relied upon every day in
the year, but that the average wind all
the year around would equal 16 miles
an hour for eight hours every day.
