on the north by the counties OF kittitas

on the east by Franklin and Walla
Wala, and on the west by Pierce, Lewis

The climate is mider than the eastern
part of the United States on the same
degree of latitude, owing to the fact that
the westerly winds are warmed by pass
ing over the Japan current before reach
ing the land. These warm winds hay
ing passed over the ocean are heavy with
moisture, and as they pass up the sides
of the Cascade mountains reach an alti-
tude which is cold enough to condense
the vapor and cause rain or snow to fall
on the west side and top Of the noun
tains, therefore the winds are dry when
they reach Yakima county. Some rain,
however, is precipitated in the spring
and fall. In the winter the atmosphere
is more heavily laden with moisture that
falls as snow in vast quantities, often
reaching twenty feet on the summit Of
our mountains, but less on their slopes,
with meagre fall of a few inches in our
valleys.
The winters are short and mild, sell

rarely lasting three months. The soft
chinook winds from the Pacific ocean
come in the winter, melting the ice and
snow, and in the summer often breaking
up hot spell of weather. Hot weather
rarely lasts over three days in succession.
Sometimes these chinook winds do not
come, but winds blow from the north
east. We then have what is termed a
continental winter, or what is called by
