THE FAVORED SPOT
The Climate of Washington and
Oregon the Very Finest.
Notes of the Movements in the
Navy Department

WAsHINGToH April 3 List July the
senate passed u resolution directing the
transmission OF reports prepare under the
directions of the chief signal service oti-
Ger upon the climate and climatic condi-
tlons OF Oregon and w ishington territory.
These reports together with illustrative
charts and letters from General Greely
have just been published and in view of
the Immigration TO the Northwest will
be found of general interest.
Inc rainfall on the Pacific coast is the
heaviest in the United States, ranging
from 70 to l07 inches annually, but this
enormous fall covers only per cent. of
the area of Oregon and Washington terri.
tory. On the other hand the area where
less than ten inches fall is less than 5 per
cent of the whole. Wheat can be grown
in nine.tenths of these two states without
irrigation owing to equable rainfall. Az.
ricultural operations are more fruitful with
smaller rainfall than in some sections OF
other states with considerable larger pre-.
ci ipitations. Renar kably equable tenn
perature conditions are also obtained, the
entire range OF the mean annual tempera-
ture over this territory being but 81 de-
arees from 4511 at Fort Colville in North.
east Washington territory to "a degrees
at Ashland, Oregon, in 800 miles OF lafi-
tude. Along the coast range the tempera-
from So at Port Angles, Washington, to
So l.2 at Port Stevens, Oregon. During
the winter months the mean temperature
of more than half these states is above
the freezing point, and on the coast ranges
between 40 and Al degrees.
General Greedy says: To summarize,
Oregon and Washl ngton territory are fav-
ored with climate of unusual milduess
and salubrty While the immediate
coast regions nave very heavy rainfalls,
yet such rain occurs during the winter
months, December to February and in all
cases the wet season gives place gradually
to dry seasons during July aud August.
While u preponderating amount or rain
fall is during the winter, yet spring, early
summer and late fall are marked by mod
crate rams at not intrequent intervals.
These climatic conditions favor to a
marked extent the growth Of most cereals
and other important staples.

If YOU want an item TOR the REVIEW
YOU might get something interesting by
tracing mp the history of that skull, re
marked DR. Z. q. Brown to IL reporter yes
terday. The reporter picked up the skull
designated and examined it critically, it
had evidently belonged to an adult, and in
the doctors opinion at one time sur.
mounted the shoulders of white person
by it's appearance the skull must have
been exposed to the weather for long
time. Asked as TO the history of this
relic OF some human being who had,
doubtless, long since shuifled off the NOR
tai coil, the medical gentleman stated
that all he knew about 1t in addition to
what he had stated, was that it had been
brought to his office several days since by
Gtorue kumpe. Il postal clerk on the
Northern Pacific railroad. 1t had been
picked up In saunders addition by a
small boy about two weeks ago ana turned
over TO Mr.. kumpe. The reporter took IL
stroll III, Riverside avenue to the locality
where the human poll had been found.
The only additional facts that could be
gathered. we're that about two weeks
since a lad by the name ct hetzcar, while
play inv among the rocks a short distance
southeast of the point where Riverside
avenue CROSSES the n. T, railroad, found
the skull in question. No other bones or

connected with the finding OF this skull.
