CLIMATE AND TEMPERATURE.

The excellence of the climate o
this region which knows neither
extreme in it's effects is not less
marked than that of its famous
soil. Spring begins in February
by which time the plows are run
ming and last until the last of June
In summer, owing to the high alti
tude and pure atmosphere, the
weather is never oppressive; sun.
strokes are unknown here Winter
begins about the holidays anc
breaks up in February, during
which time, generally in January
we have our cold SPELL" but never
continuing for more than week,
and causes very little inconvenience
In winter the ground seldom freezes
to a greater depth than six inches
Official reports show Washington
to have an average temperature o
50 degrees during the year. Such
freaks as cyclones, billiards., tor
nadoes and heavy thunder storm,
are unknown, and a drouth is not
even dreamed of.
The city of Pullman is situated
in this prosperous region just des
cribed. The city has met with
many reyerses, yet stands at the
head today. On July Sd, 1890, the
entire business portion of the town
was destroyed by fire, but instead
of disheartening this enterprisinq
community, it caused them to turn
their loss to good account anc
Pullman's prosperity can truly bt
said to date from that day. Pull
man, unlike most western towns
has never experienced the ups and
downs Of a forced boom with its de
moralizing effects. The growth OF
the town has been steady and per
manent, based upon actual demand.
and what is found here can be &C
counted for upon that basis existing
to supply a present instead Of q
pectiye demand. AS a trading
point Pullman ranks with the or.
binary town Of twice it's size, thi,
being accounted for by the nature
and extent of its tributary country
Our social advantages are as desir-
able as can be found in any western
town, and few communities possess
equal educational facilities, which
will be spoken cf in another col
umn. While Pullman is justly
proud Of her business enterprises.
there is splendid opportunity for
investments and manufacturing in
dustries. The field is as yet hal
occupied, and the resources of The
surrounding country and the ad
vantages of the town afford excel
lent opportunity for establishing
mills and manufactures. Wha1
better opening for flour mills thar
here in the midst of the creates
wheat producing country in The
world, or for the manufacture o
paper from straw, is to be found
The country is fast coming to the
front as sheep producer. Wher,
can a better location for a wooler
mill be secured? The beet sugar
industry has not been touched il

Whitman county is situated in
the southeastern part Of Washing
ton, bordering on the Idaho line.
and has an area of about 2l6O square
miles, or ,3S2, 400 acres, with Snake
river, one of the tributaries of the
Columbia, for a southern boundary.
Whitman county was organized
by the legislative act of November
20, 1871, to take effect the following
year, being formed from the south
ern portion of Stevens county, until
that time embracing all the country
east of the Columbia and north of
Snake river to the British line
which is now divided into eight
prosperous counties.
One of the most enterprising cities
in n hitman county. and one which
is surrounded by one Of the finest
farming communities in the Union,
is that of Pullman, with popula-
ton Of about 2OOO.
SURFACE AND SOIL.
The country surrounding Pull
man is a disappointment to the
stranger at first sight, the success
sion of hills and valleys which com
pose it forming very rough yet
grand picture when viewed from an
eminence, suggesting to the mind
heavy rolling sea. But when it be
comes known that the highest hill
tops and slopes produce equally
with the lands in the valleys, and
that farm machinery of every kind
is worked upon them with equal
facility, the feeling of disappoint-
ment is dispelled giving place to
one of wonder at the great resources
with which nature has so generously
endowed the country. The soil is
Of volcanic origin, being rich, dark
loan of great depth everything a clay
subsoil resting upon basaltic for
nation. 1t is of almost unlimited
durability, never washes, is free
from rocks and gravel, and is cas-
lily broken and pulverized readily.
In addition to its other virtues the
soil manifests determination to
produce the usual large crops with
or without moisture. All crops are
grown without irrigation and the
absence OF rain from May until after
harvest, which, although not as a
rule, is sometimes the summer rec
ord, does not materially affect the
yield, the porous soil having hap
py faculty of absorbing from the
atmosphere sufficient moisture to
insure the regular returns for the
husbandman' work. With ordin-
airy care in blowing and sowing the
yield per acre will be from % to 35
bushels, and with higher cultiya
ton a yield of from 40 to 80 bush
els may be obtained, in either case
without the aid of artificial fertile
ers. Agriculture, the chief indus
try Of the county, is constantly
growing in Importance, and these
lands must eventually command
high price, and now is the right
time for those looking for home
which can be made one of the most
beautiful on earth to purchase.

ARTEsIAN WELLS.
The artesian wells of Pullman
are a feature Of special interest,
possessed by no other town in the
Palouse country. At a depth of
about a hundred feet a big flow of
clear chalybeate water was struck.
A well was piprd above the rock
and its continuous flow forms
small rivulet. The water from this
well is now pumped to a reservoir
on the highest Of the numerous
hills overlooking the town and to a
second reservoir above the agricul-
tural college Pullman from this
beneficent fountain now obtains
ample water for fire protection, Tor
domestic uses and for the sprink-
ling of streets, and refreshing Its
lawns and gardens. The pseudonym
of the place should now be changed
