A western professor bas figured out that an inch of rain means 860 barrels of water to an acre of land, 550,400 barrels to a section, and 19, 814,000 barrels of water to a town- ship. When one realizes that we have had a shortage of about 7 inches of rain thus far in 1910 at this point, and applies the above figures, he finds that each acre is short of mois- ture to the extent of 6020 barrels, each section has had 3,852,800 bar- rels of water less than the average for thirty years; each township is 138,698,000 barrels short, while the shortage of precipitation since Jan- uary 1 for the county amounts to 4,160,094,000 barrels. Is it any wonder that the crops have been affected, that weeds are drying up and that the river is lower than it has ever been before in July?— Moorhead News.

Seattle, July 28.— The steamer Mackinaw, with $200,000 in gold bul- lion picked up at Kotzebue sound ports, has arrived from Nome. Offi- cers of the Mackinaw report the worst ice conditions in Bering strait that have Dbeen encountered in seventeen years. Captain Frank Mills said it took twelve days to make the passage from Nome to Kotzebue sound, when or- dinarily it can ‘be made in thirty hours. The Mackinaw was entirely surrounded by ice from July 2 to July 13 and made slow progress forcing its way through rifts and flaws in the field. 1In some places the ice was piled eighty fest high. At the en- trance to Kotzebue sound the ship’s way was blocked by a solid wall of ice and much time was lost waiting for a passage to cpen. Little difficulty was experienced on the southbound trip.
