I v.is a preat sufferer from Dyspepsia

THE EAUTFALL 0 OBEGON.
The average annual rainfall for
Oregon, . as a whole t is only 36
inches, of this' 18 inches fall in
winter, 8 inches in spring, 2 inches
in summer and 8 inches in autumn.
During summer the showers arc
occasional, but they seldom inter
fere with the harvesting season;
the autumn rains put the Soil in
good condition for plowing and
seeding. The winter rams are the
most exoessive, and generally
occur on about 20 days in a month,
but the soil needs the rain. The
winter rains assures the never fail
ing crops, the water power, springs
and wells of the state. The spring
rainfall furnishes sufficient moist
ure to mature the crops, and
causes the. state to have an abund
ance of everything. The light
summer rains allow the grass to
dry up about August, but the au
tumn rains give it new life and
vigor, so that while the eastern
states are covered with snow and
ice, Oregon has green fields and
verdant lawns the winter through.;
and in the early spring, when the
snow yet lingers with our eastern
people, the flowers here come forth
and are in all their glory before
the plants there give a sign of their
remaining life, after enduring the
seventy of a winter. In Oregon
toe rams appear to be so timid,
that when they are the most ex
cessive, they least interfere with
agricultural pursuits. The causes
of the wet and dry seasons in Ore
gon are dne to the tender winds.
When the northwest wind com
mences in summer, then rain may
no longer bo expected, and when
thejT retire to the southwest trade
in fall, the rainy season starts in
again. By the term "rainy sea
son," it must not be inferred that
the rain is perpetual, or nearly so,
during that time. The term is
employed only in contrast with tbo
dry season, and it implies the pos
sibility rather than the actual
occurrence of rain.
Above has been given the aver
age rainfall of Oregon as a whole.
Now it should bo remembered that
along the immediate coast, and es
pecially so at the ,mouth of the
Columbia river, the rainfall is
double that which occurs in the
interior valleys some 20 to 100
miles distant; and the rainfall of
eastern Oregon is about one-half
that of the interior valleys. Along
the coast from 62 to 78 inches falls
annually. In the Willamette val
ley from 42 to 56 inches 'falls an
nually. In the ITmpqua valley 35
inches. In the Rogue river valley,
Klamath and Lake counties, and
on the plateau, cast of the Cascade
range of mountains, known as
eastern Oregon from, 13 to 25
inches falls annually. The rainfall
in Oregon, (as well as in Califor
nia and Washington Ter.,) in
creases from south to north. Rain
falls from 100 days sf Ashland, to
166, days at .Portland in a year.
The average for the state would
be about 125 days.

Should Keep Her Half Still.
A loving young busband of this
city possesses a pretty young wife
and a sweet little baby who is as
good as he can be in the daytime,
but who has a penchant for making
the m dnight air resound with his
cries. The dear little thing was
giving his usual concert several
nights ago. His audience was
tired out. The "happy father"
was tifing hard to persuade the
old said man to fill his eyes and
transport him to the land of Nod.
Still fie baby yelled.
"Dearest," growled this loving
husband, "hadn't you better get
up and. walk around the room and
get your baby quiet?"
"iff baby," responded "Dear
est;" "well, I think about one
half of it is yours!"
"Oh, I don't care how much
noise my half makes," answered
the villain. "You just keep your
half still." Cincinnati Times.

Thoy Carried Their Knowledge -Home,
Several years ago a number of
German workmen came to Con
necticut by a preconcerted ar
rangement, and obtained employ
ment in the clock factories in New
Haven, " Ansonia, Waterbury,
Thomaston and Winsted. They
worked steadily for a long time,
applied themselves diligently to
mastering the science of clock
making, and became proficient in
the art of handling the fine tools
necessary to the work, the tools'
and several of the complicated
machines, and, returning to Ger
many, they began the manufac
ture of clocks for themselves.
They set up' a factory in the Black
Forest region, and their business
now amounts, according to letters
recently received in New York
cityto'ncarly fifty thousand clocks
a month. This German factory
has proved a close competitor with
thcConnecticut concerns.

Announcement Extraordinary !
Vthile I do noj believe in the advertisements often used to catch trade, such as
On account of going out of business," removal, overstocked, etc., and which aro
claptraps in most instances, as good business men ore not overstocking, removing,
experimenting, etc., which in the end, would be at their patrons expense. But at
times there are circumstances whioh one has no control over, such as the unusual
wet month of June, which entirely destroys the STRAW HAT TRADE for that
month, and whereas I received eight (8) large cases of
.a Men's and Boys' Straw Hats,
Which are so bulky in their nature, and for my want of store room for my new
and large assortment of MEN'S. YOUTH'S and BOYS' CLOTHING whinli I nm
