siderable suid. It seems that there is
a stretch of roid between Prince Geo-

have been gravelled long ago. In fact

A Record Rain |
Fall For July
Over ‘Four In.

New Hazelton: and distriet can now
‘claim some ‘distinction RS a coast, or
' lose t6: coast, territory’ The coast and
coast clties may brag about their raz
fall, and: the fact that they never lack
that moisture which the prairie farm-
ers would: often give so‘muel’ for, bu’
.they. have nothing on'us.this month of
Our Lord, 1932, . ‘The rain fall. for the
month of July. was 4.07 © inches, ite
anteh as ‘any six months ° of a’ norm”
year, and the end is not yet. The av
erage. vain fall in July at New Hazet-
ton for.the past 17 years was only 2.02
or less by .71 inches of what fell here
in the last ten days. The. July perei-
pitation for the past sev en -years bar
been as follows :-—in 1926, 146 inches:
in 1027, , 35 inches; in i928, 227 Inche:
in 1929, 3.25 inches; in 1930, 1.63 in.
J1981, 1.58 inches; in 1932,’ "4,08 inches
In Vaneouver the July’ rain, fall for the
first 26 days was, 1.11, bat then that.
does not signify anything.as it ean rain
in Vancouver @ whole lake of water ir
n single day and no once offers an
apology. Prince Rupert has taken a
little lead ond gives oa total of 4.72 fo:
the month with o few days to spare.

The general impression hereazbouts
is that there has been sufficlent.rair
for the time being, even for the bath
and weekly wash. The, farmers anc
gardeners will soon starting saying
things if the sun does not. shine soon.
Between sun dogs and spots on the sur
and eclipses and rain: on: St. Swithin’s
Day, the weather man has got all ball
ed up.
