All that Is positively known OF the
details of the accident is that MI
Frow went out into the bay IN

Professor Won Pirquet has arrived

can be totally dispensed with, pro-

included in the food.

Can State Lsgally
Pay COnviCis Prizes

WIN it be lega! 70 use state funds to
pay eenviets prizes for winning athletic
events held in connection with a Fourth
Of July celebration at the penitantiary
That question has been put up to At
torney General Brown by Secretary of
State Oleott. Warden Murphy of the
peni5entiary presented a claim, which
had been approved by the governor, for
$50 to pay prizes awarded 10 the con
Ficts.
''The records of the Office says the
letter from the secretary of state to the
attorney general, ''do not show that a
similar claim has ever heretofore been
presented tosit for audit"
The penitentiary has exhausted its
maintenance appropriation, and at a re-
cent meeting of the state emergency
board asked for authority to incur a
deficiency of $4,000. The board auth
orized a deficiency of half that amount
but expects to meet again IN the fall and
authorize a further deficit.
The claim in question is drawn upon
an appropriation for musical and liter
ary purposes. and for the amusements
and purchase Of moving picture ma
chine.

the heaviest rainfall for any "a hours
during the past 20 years and that was
on December 10, when the total pre-
cipitatiOn was 40j inches.
The old saying that it rains month
at time in Oregon is not confirmed
by the official records for the past 20
years. About the most continuous month
of rain was February Of 1909, when the
heavens were busy for 26 out of the 2S
days. The month Of November Of 1909
was an all around rainy month as out
of the 80 days, it rained 26 and there
was precipitation that month of 1862
inches. For real continuous rainy
Period, February and March of 1904
hold the rciord 1t was cloudy during
the entire two months and the rains
ceased only seven days during the 80
and there was rainfall durnig the two
months of 1858 inches.
The greatest flood time in Salem for
the past 90 years was. on November 25,
1909, when the stage of the river was
30.7 feet above low water mark. The
next highest stage was Febraury 7,
1907, when the water reached the 1913
foot mark. Very close to this high water
record was that Of January 16, 1901,
when the stage was 29.5 feet above
zero The next record j.; February
1916, with the water touching the 26.2
feet above mark. Last December when
there was such floods in Salem the
guagc of the river read "a feet above
the low water mark
Today, July 10, 1918, it is l.3 feet be.
low low water mark.

river REACHES
VERY LOW STAGE
DUE TO DROUGHT
Facts Of Interest Concerning
Weather From Record Of
Twenty Years

After two months drought, from May
10 to July 10, the river guage stands
today at one and three tenths below
the zero mark. During the past Il
years, according to the official records
the river has been lower only two times
In the latter part of October, 1915
when there had been scarcely two AID
half inches of rain for the preceding
four months, the guage was IL feet be
low zero. On November 5, 1917, follow
ing month when there had been nc
rainfall, the guage read l.S feet below
zero, the lowest since official records
have been kept in Salem, beginning in
February, 1899.
For several days following August 81,
1914, after the 72 days of drought, the
river stood as it is today, one aud three
tenths feet below zero.
For the first time during the past 20
years, June of this year was an entire
ly rainless moneh. Ordinarily June is
good for little more than an inch OF
more of rain, although it broke the rec
ord in 1916 when the precipitation was
3.4S inches.
During the past 20 years July has
been entirely without rain only three
times and these were in the years 1906,
1910, 1914. There has been several
years that were almost dry, such as
1906 with only .05 of an inch of rain,
1908 with only .O2 of an inch of ram
and 1911 with but .O6 of an inch.
August holds the record as dry month
of the year for this part of the state.
During the past Is years, six times
has the month passed without drop
Of rain and these were in the years 'O6,
10, II, IA, rs and ~. Other years
that came pretty close to the dryless
record were 1905 with only .O3 of an
inch, 1909 with but ,02 Of an inch and
1913 with precipitation of only 80
Of an inch.
On an average, the month Of Novcm-
Der is the wettest Of the year.
Rainfalls Of more than six inches for
the month are quite common, according
to the official record and only once
has it fallen below two inches and that
was in 1911, when the precipitation was
l.97 inches. The rainiest November for
the past 20 years was in the year 1909
when the record was 1862 inches.
December of 1917 was the wettest
month experienced by the present gem
GRAFTON living in Salem. The rainfall
for the month is officially recorded as
l4.03 inches. The month also included
