THE wAILA wALLA eouNrRY

AhE WALLA WAblA toLHl6A
Proper is small. oyal-shaped section of the
Walla Walla valley, which has climate alto
gether peculiar to itself 1t viii be observed
that its mean temperature, 81, is higher than
that of any other place in Eastern Washington
the same as Washington City and Baltimore.
The city of Walla Walla is located near the Gen.
ter OF this oval at an altitude OF 1000 feet Its
rainfall is about Is inches per annum, and its
tributary country warm, fertile and peculiarly
adapted to gardening and fruit raising.
To the northwestward about thirty miles, in
the upper part of the walla Walla valley, are
Waitsbng and Dayton-fourishing cities with
healthful climates-the latter having an eleva-
ton of nearly LOO feet, mean temperature of
49, and an annual rainfall of 20 76 inches, sur
rounded by native, strong bunch grass coun-
try, the ideal wheat lands of the world. Across
the Tukannon divide, on the northeast, is the
Pomeroy Pataha country, with slightly higher
temperature and considerably less rainfall, a
country which generally produces excellent
crops and is rapidly settling up with farmer
immigrants. The mean temperature of Pomeroy
is so, and its rainfall is 20 inches.
THE SNAKE RIVER COUNTRY
From Wallula and Pasco to Almota and Lew
iston is warm sandy belt, having an altitude
between $50 and 500 feet, an average mean tenn
perature of 50, and q rainfall of from to Is
inches per annum. This is the "peach belt of
Eastern Washington. With plenty OF irrigation
it will produce anything not strictly tropical.
The Palouse country is the next climatic re-
gion. 1t has altitude of l,50o feet to 1900 feet
and is a fertile, wel-watered country. Colfax,
the principal city, has mean temperature of
about As, and an ANIMAL rainfall of 253l inches.
The climate is appreeiably cooler in this section
than in the Snake river belt and In the Walla
Walla valley. Spring frosts are later and those
of autumn much earlier than in the other two
sections. II is great wheat country.
On the north of the Palouse is the Spokane
Coeur dAlene section, which has a slightly
greater elevation and a mean temperature de-
gree or two lower. As this important country
viii probably be fully treated by local writers,
no more will be said of il here.
On the extreme north is the Colvilie region,
which has a climate very different from the re-
mainder of Eastern Washington. Fort Colville
has mean temperature of As, and mean precipi-
tation of Ia inches.
Throughout nearly the whole of Eastern
Washington the cold weather OF winter is tenn
pered by frequent visitations of the ssChinook''
or 'Fohn" winds, and the warm weather of

The foregoing summary shows the minimum

be remembered in this connection that the win
ter of lss7-ss was exceptionally severe over most
parts of the United States. However, the law of
compensation must now be at work in this sec
ton of country. for If the winter of ISIS was
exceptionally severe the present winter to date

The winter of 1855 SO was somewhat unusually
protraeted for this section.
One noticeable feature in connection with ex-
tremes of temperature in spokane Falls is that
such temperature as 102 and minus
80, or minus %, only happen one
day in several years, or at most reign
for few hours. 1t is also, very remark
able that while cases of sunstroke and in many
cases consequent death, were happening Ii
Chicago and other places, that in this place, and
with at times higher temperature than IN
Chicago, sunstroke was unknown This may
be in part due 20 the low relative humidity
which usually accompanies high temperature at
this place, thereby preventing the extremely
enervaung sultriness experienced ii other
climates: the absence Of sunstroke on the Pacific
coast is noticeable. Spokane Falls is remarkably
free from violent or high winds

MEAN PRECIPITATION.

While examining the foregoing table OF mean
precipitation, it should be borne in mind that it
only gives the mean OF observations, continued
IN some eases for many years, and docs not give
the annual precipitation for the respective years.
For instance, the mean precipitation of Fort
Colville is 17.22; but in 1875 the annual
amount OF precipitation was 32.sS inches; the
mean OF Walla Walla, 1886, but 1861 gave in the
latter place precipitation of 1907 inches; the
mean precipitation at Spokane Falls from 1881
to 1887 is zoos, but, for lsS2 the annual amount
was 25.99, and for 1885, 14.37 inches.

The deficiency of precipitation since January
l, 1850, is 4.S6 inches. Owing to the above de-
heieney OF rainfall throughout this valley and
adjacent country it seems quite probable that
We may look for wet winter or spring. The
last SIX months the temperature has been con-
siderable above the normal

RAINFALL FOR THIRTEEN YEARS.

1t will be seen that not one month in all
these years but had more or less rain fall,
and not single failure of grass, fruit or
vegetables, although the summers of 1878,
1888, 1855, 1887 and 1890 were quite dry.
The climate of Puget sound is influenced
entirely by the ocean, and practically ours
is an island climate. No written descrip-
ton can 90 it justice. The longer per-
son lives here the more he loves the eli
mate, and in no interior section of the con-
tinent is he so certain of always being free
from extremes of heat and cold

A case is now before the courts in Colorado which is of some importan ce to cattlemen. A ranchman's cattle were driven off of their accustomed range into an adjolning county by stress of weather and lack of food. The county into which they were driven assessed taxes against them. The owner admits they were in the county, but refuses to pay the taxes because they were driven from their proper range by a power beyond his control. He secured an injunction to prevent collection of the amount of tax by sale and the case will be tried within a few weeks,
