Weather reeordn nf lite valley for
the past M years, for thu Ashland
Ktallon, compiled by Wuler Muster
Fred N. CumminKH, iutlicntu that
the lust three years are not the
tiryest three years in locul climate
by AM Inches of ralnlall.
The bunner dry yeur of the more
than half a century period wus in
lior, when the rainfall amounted
to 12 inches und which is not men
tioned in locul condemnation of
tho weuther. In liKilt, hulled uh n
parched year, the rainfall was 17.20
inches, or 8.20 inches than In 1!ti.r.
The maximum rainfull of the Til
year period was 111 1IMI7, when the
prnclpltntinu amounted to 2S.S7
inches. In 1027 when it rained so
hard ull the cellars und creeks
were flooded, the rainfall umotint
Gd to 24 inches, plus.
Had Three-Year Drought
Hi 18X2. 188:1 und 1884 there was
a three-yeur so-cnlled drought W'hen
the mean rainfall for the period to
taled 10.22 Inches. That was 4!)
years UKo, und since thut year,
with the execution oC 1905, the
ruin hus been fulrly bountiful.
Eighteen eiKhty-ono wuh a very
roiny yeur, uh wus 11127. Moth were
followed by u trio of "dry" yeurs.
There have been two periods of
three dry yeurs ench in ft I yeurs.
Wuler Muster CtiimuhiKH says
that it the records show anything
they show thut the wealher in the
valley runs in three year cycles
They ulso show that March is very
liable to producu moisture. The
records for Til years show March
has a tendency townrd such he
huvlor. lie thinks, In the Unlit of
the records, It is runsonuble to be
lieve the coming March will yield
moisture.
;; Little Change
It ulso develops thai the allega
tion of old timers thai the climate
and rainfall of (he valley is dimm
ing is erronuous, but Instead the
general run of weather now Is
nlKiul the sumo as it was In Hi"
'8ns, the '90s and the ItiOUs.
The vulley water table Is now at 1
an exceedingly low nlago nnd the
wuler master sees signs of lis re
plenishment. Thera is light ruin
and snow In the mountulus nnd II
will "help Just a little bit mare."
The tublo will hn turned over to
the Irrigation districts for infor
mation and study.
The Ashland lucorda were used
lierause, aside from tun 'Jcckson
vllle records kept by Knill llrltt,
they were the most complete nnd be
