B. Flint, of Llbby, McNeil & Llbby's fleet of cannery vessels, made port this morning from Bering sea. Both report cold and rainy weather throughout the summer in the North. On the way down the Flint ran Into a 36-hour gale that gave her a hard battlo. mountainous seas ripping the bark's 650-ballon stoel water tank from its position amidships and knocking It against tho port railing. The Flint. Capt Andrew Aa9, with First Mate F. D. Swain, was stationed all summer at the company's Koggu log plant on the Kvajok. River Bristol ! Bay. She left the plant August 12, ! bringing cold weather south with her. ; Half way between Unimak Pass and Cape Flattery she ran into the gale. It blewyfrom the west, reaching its cli max in a six-hour burst of furious winds and seas. Mate Swain believes ? it was the tail end of a typhoon. The same sea that broke the steel lashings of the water tank tore loose a deck load of empty steel oil drums on the port side and humped up another load of oil drums amidship. Swain, who has been sailing to Alas ka since 1891, declares such weather is unprcedented at this time of the year. He reports that weather condl : tlous in Bering sea have been knocked galley west all summer. The Flint brought 25,<110 cases of i canned salmon, 535 barrels of salt sal mon, 100 empty oil drums, seventy i seven white workers and sixty-five Chinese and Japanese workers.

RAYMOND COMPANY |;l Groceries 8 Clothing <? PHONK NUMBER 28 < ? i ? SHARICK TELLS WHY IT RAINS According to I. J. Sharick. who has been in tho Jewelry business in Jun-J euu for many years and who for ten years kept a weather record for Jun eau, thd* Capital City, is located in a certain zone that is ruled entirely by temperature so far as rainfall is concerned. Atmospheric pressure has nothing whatever to do with the pre cipitation of rain, he declares, and barometer readings are of no value in trying to select picnic weather in this section. This zone, according to Mr. Shar lck, occupies an area of about 30 to 50 miles In width by 200 to 250 miles In length and lies between tho coast range of^tnountalns of the mainland and the chain of mountainous Islands that form the outer wall of tho basin. The moisture from which the rain fall In this zono Is derived Is always hero, Mr. Sharick says ? has been caught and trapped by these moun tain ranges of the mainland and the chain of Islands. It (the moisture) mores up or down as the temperature dictates. A warm dry spell sends the moisture up Just 'like smoke through a chimney. It remains In the upper air area until the proper temperature causes It to fall again as rain. The temperature most favorable for rainfall Is between 43 to 68. It hardly ever rains when tho temperature 1b above 60, and very little fnlls when the temperature has descended to 40. The rainfall Is governed, Mr. Sharick says, by the warmth of the ocean and the altitude of the mountains which cause the varying temperatures.
