Monthly Report by the U. s. Weather Bureau Shows Unusual
 Features.
SNOWFALL FOR WINTER
There Was Only 20142 Feet Snow for the Winter. Which Holds the
 Record.

The Weather Bureaus meteoro- | logical summary for April, issued yesterday, emphasizes some unusual features of the weather of the last | few weeks that have been patent to even casual observers of weather phenomena. Probably the condi- tion that has been noticed most by Channel residents has been the con tinued cloudy weather. The report shows that there were no clear days during the month, while ref erence to the summary for the clear day since March 10th, 52 days ago and that of those 52 days there were only that were even classed as partly cloudy, all the rest being cloudy This record is the more remarkable when it is considered that according to the Weather Blu reau's classification "clear" day is not necessarily cloudless one, but may have an average of not exceed ing three-te -tenths of the sky covered. A partly cloudy day has from four to seven-tenths of the sky covered, while a cloudy day has from eight to ten-tenths.
 The mean temperature of the months, 37S degrees, was the low est April mean with one exception in 23 years of record. the excep- tion being that of April, 1890, when the extremely low mean of BAT pre- vailed April of last year averaged Al degrees warmer than this year, which can be accounted for large ly by the fact that that month had 55Gt of the possible amount of sun shine, while the month just closed had only 17H. There were nf rapid changes in temperature, how ever, and no marked extremes, all readings ranging between a maxi mum of 50 on the 28th and min mum of 19 on the 1st.
 Although there were 20 day
 with O.01 inch Or more of precipi tation, the total for the month, 5.9l inches, was only 0.92 inch moro than the average of previous Aprils
 but was still in marked contrast tf April of last year, which was the driest on record with total of only .69 inches The snowfall for tho month was 7.2 inches, which brings the aggregate for the season up tc 246.2 inches. Within the city prop CT this accumulation was practical. ly all gone by the end of thu month, but the adjacent mountain slopes and peaks were still manteled in white.

CONDITIONS OF THE INTERIOR
 LOOKING GOOD
C. A. SChonacker Says That Miners and Others Are Looking For
 Good Season.

c. A. Schonacker, of the Richmond Paper Company, left for the outside on the Princess Sophia, after having completed a several months business trip through the interior of Alaska, where he says the outlook is good for the present season.
 "Of course" said he, "every one knows the interior is not what ii used to be in it's palmy days when gold came easily out of the ground, but there is a steady progress look ing towards permanency which i'm presses the observer with the fact that the old Alaska boom days are over and the people are settling down to the solid business of devel- oping permanent resources.
 ''rhe extra snowfall throughout the Interior will insure the operators plenty of water for the summers sluicing season, and therefore it is expected the gold output will be larger than it was the past season. v

THE OSWELL BREAD AND HOW TO MAKE
 IT IS GIVEN BELOW

Following is the recipe for the 'Oswell Bread" worked out by Mrs. George Oswel of Juneau:
 1a sitter rolled oats.
 l sitter corn meal, either white
 or yellow.
 l F sitter white flour, or less. Make sponge of the oats and corn neal, with F sitter wheat flour, with plenty of salt, rather more han for white bread. Either yeast cakes or home made yeast can be used q use the latter). Let sponge rise; takes about two hours Then '1nead with remainder of white -four. Let rise very light and put in baking pans, should be six nice loaves
 My experience is that you have to let this bread get lighter than all wheat bread.
