RAINFALL OF THE SOUND.

While at Fort Vancouver, on the
Columbia river, it is 3S inches. at
Portland. Oregon. 47 inches. in Fort
Yamhill Sc. and thence declines as it
approaches the semi arid regions of
the upper willamette valley On the
west side of the Sound the rainfall
decreases, from Victoria southwark
to Port Townsend and from thence
it increases until Bainbridge Island
is passed, then decreases as one tray.
els south toward Lewis county, and
increases from there to Portland,
soon after which it decreases as one
goes up the Willamette valley.
The rainfall at Mr.. Hoskinson's
place is three times as great as at
Port Townsend At Snohomish it is
four times as great as at Port Town
send, and from five to six times as
great at Neah bay as at Port Town
send. Now what makes all of this
difference? The straits of Fuca are
from IL to 20 miles wide. The ocean
wind has full sweep, blowing right
up the straits from Neah Bay to Port
Townsend; then why Is not the rain
fall at Port Townsend as great as at
Neah Bay? And why is the rain fall
on the Snohomish SO much greater
than anywhere else on Puget Sound? d?
Whoever answers these questions
can analyze and describe the climate
Of Puget Sound. My answer is this:
There are two main ocean winds.
The northwest or dry wind, blowing
chiefly in summer, and blowing up
the straits of Fuca, and Chehalis and
Columbia rivers; this makes our cool
summers: then there is the southwest
or west wind, warm and moist, which
blows diagonally across the gaps,
made IN the series of mountains call
ed the Coast range, by the straits of
Fuca, and the Chehalis and Colum-
bia rivers Nearly all the rain fall
ing in Washington Territory is
brought flom the ocean in storm
clouds by the southwest wind. These
clouds float at from ore to four
thousand feet above sea level. Were
there no gaps in the Coast range
from the straits south to California,
but solid mountain wall over four
thousand feet high, the climate of
Puget Sound would be like that of
Eastern Washington. If the Coast
range was less than 1000 feet high,
the climate of Puget Sound would be
nearly like that of Astoria and Neah
Bay. 1t is the varying height of,
with the gaps in the Coast range.
ttat make the many differences of
Puget Sound climate.
1t 5 from its fogs and cloudy
weather that Port Townsend finds
its slight rainfall sufficient for agri-
cultural purposes.
