General Greelys Interesting Report
on the Climate Of Oregon
and Washington.
Conclusions Which viii Surely At
tract Thousands to Make Homes
in that Section.


WAsHINGToN. April a-Last july the
senate passed a resolution directing the
transmission of the reports prepared un'
der the direction OF the chief signal officer
upon the climate and climatic conditions
Of Oregon and Washington territory.
These reports, together with illustrative
charts and letters from Gen. Greedy have
just been published and in view OF the EN-
lgration TO the far northwest will be found
Of general interest. The rainfall on the
Pacific coast is the heaviest In the United
states, ranging from 20 TO l07 inches annn-
ally, but this enormous fall covers only six
per cent of the area OF Oregon and Wash
| ngton Territory. On the either hand the
| area where less than ten inches fall Is less
| than five per cent OF the whole. Wheat
can be grown IN nine-tenths OF these two
states without irrigation, owing 10 the
rainfall. Agricultural operations are
more fruitful with smaller rainfall than In
some other sections with considerably
larger precipitation. Remarkably equable
temperature conditions are also obtained,
the entire range OF mean an
nual temperature over this territory
being but sls degrees, from i5i6 at Fort
COville,in northeast Washington territory,
| 10 d degrees AZ Ashland, ore. In SDO
miles OF latitude along the coast the range
Of temperature in the summer time is only
| 50 degrees. from 81 at Port Angeles, Wash
lngton, 10 59ls at Fort Stevens, Ore. During
the winter months the mean temperature
| OF more than half Of these states is above
| the freezing point and on the coast ranges
between 40 and VI degrees. Gen. Greedy
says: "To summarize, Oregon and Wash
ington are favored with climate o. unusu-
al mlldness and salubrlty. While In the
immediate coast regions they have very
heavy rainfalls, yet such rain occurs dn.
| ring the winter months, from December to
February. and in all cases the wet season
gives place gradually 10 dry seasons, du-
ring July and August. While q predomi-
Mating amount OF rain falls during the win
| ter, yet the spring, early summer and late
fall are marked by moderate rains at not
infrequeDt intervals. These climatic con.
dItons favor 10 marked extent the growth

Futile Attempt To DersiI vestibuie Train
on the Pennsylvania.
MANSFIELD, Ohio, April ga 6endish
attempt was made TO wreck the Pennsylva-
MIA limited vestibule passenger near Can
ton, at midnight Pieces OF iron were
lightly wedged into the switch near Little
town. The east bound passenger train
passed safely over the obstruction, but the
unusual jolting caused the train men 10 be
alarmed and they reported the matter TO
the operator. He investigated the cause
and stopped the limited before IL reached
the switch. Irons had been placed In the
switch with the east ends raised 80 as to
derail the west bound train while allowing
the east bound 10 pass over with only n lit
tie jarring. The switch is only sixty feet
from the bridge and the momentum would
have thrown the whole train into the creek
and the consequence would have been ter
rible.

tsbllsh a naval station at the harbor Of
Berlin conference concludes its work. The
last congress appropriated 500, 900 for this
purpose. and the money Is now available.
but IL Is thought that any radical step al
this juncture might tend to jeopordize the
success of the conference. Besides the 900
tons OF coal sent to Samoa on board the
onongahela, and which should be there
now, the ship Sachem, which sailed from
New York fortnight ago, carried 1000
tons and should make the passage In about
ninety-five days.

Mixture la the Treasury Department.
WASHINGTON, April S-The appoint
ment of Eli. A. Roberts as assistant treas
urer Of New York was made without his
knowledge, and now there is some doubt II
he accepts the offer. The death OF Assist
ant Treasurer McCue makes II essential
that there should be as little delay as pos.
sihle In the qualification Of his successor.
The situation is further complicated by the
change in the office of United States treas.
urer, Mr.. Huston has telegraphed he
will be In Washington by the end OF the
present week. but 30 far has not indicated
when be will qualify and relieve Mr..
Hyatt. There is AN impression at the de.
partment he will delay qualifying until az
ter affairs in the New York office have been
settled, which will take five weeks. A
declinati0n on the part Of Roberts Will de
lay matters still further

morrow. A new fourth party is in the
field and has unsettled matters greatly. Ii
was born for the single purpose Of oppos-
Ing resubmission to the people Of the pro-
hiOitory amendment. The party was
made up largely OF republicans. Men who
have before refused 10 affiliate with the
prohibition party, though believing In that
pArty's general objects. The third party.
or prOhibitionists, was working for similar
purpose, against resubmission. The fourth
party nominated an independent state
ticket. but In Providence and most OF
the towns are joining with the third party
on legislative nominees. The result Is that
while there were four general tickets in
the field there were only the usual number
Of legislative tickets. The legislature Is
republican In each branch, which will be
reduced II this city is democratic, and IL Is
likely 10 be. The legislature will vote to
resubmit the prohibitory amendment.
