ON THE WORTH WEST COAST.
The Climate Of Washington Territory az
Taken from Signal Service Reports.

The Climate Of Washington Territory az
Taken from Signal Service Reports.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-Last July the
Senate passed resolutions directing the
transmission of reports prepared under the
direction Of the chief signal officer upon the
climate and climatic conditions OF Oregon
and Washington Territory. These re.
ports, together with illustrative charts and
a letter from Gen. Greedy, have just been
published, and in view of the emigration to
the far Northwest, will be found to be Of
general interest. The rainfall ON the Pa.
cifc coast is the heaviest in the United
States. ranging from 70 to ITO inches an
nually, but this enormous fall covers only
6 per cent. Of the area Of Oregon. and
Washington Territory. On the other hand,
the area where less than 10 inches fall is
less than fiVe per cent. OF the whole.
Wheat ian be grown in nine-tenths of
these two states without irrigation. Owing
to equable rainfall, agricultural operations
are nore fruitful with the small rainfall
than in some sections of other states with
a considerable larger precipitation. Re-
markably equable temperature conditions
also obtain, the entire range of mean
nnnual temperature over this territory be-
ing but Sk dagrees-from 45k at TT. Col

In 300 miles Of latitude along the coast
the range of temperature in the summer
time 10 only 3h d~eerees-from Sc at Port
Angeles, Washington Territory, to Soy at
Fort Steyene, Oregon. During the winter
months the mean temperature Of more
than half Of these states is above the freez.
ing point, and on the coast ranges between
40 and 45 degrees. General Greedy says:
ITO summarize. Oregon and Washington
territory are favored with a climate Of
unusual mildness and equability. While
the immediate coast regions have very
heavy ~rainfalls, yet such rain occurs during
the winter months Of December TO Febru-
airy, and in all cases the wet season gives
place gradually to the dry season, during
July and August. While the preponder-
ating amount OF rain falls during the win
ter, yet the spring, early summer and late
Iall are marked by moderate rains at not
intervals. These climatic con-
ditions favor to a marked extent the
growth Of most cereals, and other impor.
tant staples. Minneapolis Tribune, April

A Home Product,

II there is anything in particular about

the home industries that have been estab.
lished to meet the wants Of growing com.
munities like Butte, which are large EN-.

tory. OF such is the Centennial Brewing
Company which, from small beginnings.
commencing at the time when Butte was a
mere village. has kept pace with her growth
until to-day it is M of the solid institu.
tions Of the territory. This result has
been attained only by patient, u~ntiring
effort in the right direction by making an
article OF beer that will hold its own With
mi Of the brands imported here for the
two essential qualities Of strength and
purity. In these respects it has no superior
and on these grounds alone deserves the
widest patronage from consumer here az a
home product of the highest excellence.
The gentlemen at the head of the
are men OF long experience and sagacity in
the business and make it their aim to put
only the best material into the Centennial
beer. They employ only the most skilled
and experienced labor and have in the

pains to please their numerous customers
by furnishing them with the best and finest
beer that can be drunk in Butte.

Ozone is q form or phase Of oxygen, sup

oped by plant life, especially in the act oil
~blossoming. The prevalence Of epidsmics
10 believed to coincide with the absence OF
ozone, or it's decrease to minimum. Open
winters are dangerous In the North, be-
cause vegetation decays, with neither freez-
ing nor ozone to eounteract the effect. The
Tennessee board OF health has discussed
the question thoroughly. and finds pine
forests not to aid In producing ozone. A
sharp thunder storm, on the contrary. in.
creases it remarkably. It 10 urged by
Professor Meehan. Of Philadelphia, that
the Towering of plants has much to do with
health. The keeping Of house plants OF q
free blooming sort, if clean and healthy, is
desirable.
