Many peop,e in the east, espe-
cially that part of the east that is
in the same latitude as Kennewick,
refuse TO believe that we have a
climate here in Kennewick valley
that rivals many parts of the fruit
growing section Of California. Be
ing as far inland as we are, it seems
to them impossible that we should
have different climate from other
sections in the same latitude. We
will acknowledge that it is hard for
one who has never been here to
realize the difference. We were
skeptical, when we heard people
who came from here back to Min
nesota, telling how the thermom-
eter never got down to zero, and
the birds were singing in the fields
the year round. And this too, at
the time when Minnesota thermom-
eters had not registered above zero
for so long that the mercury had
forgotten the way back to that
point. However, a visit out here
last March convinced us that the
tales told by returning travellers
were ia no way exaggerated. AT
that time when the east was still
wrapped in its blankets of snow,
the Kennewick valley had donned
its summer attire of green, trimmed
with the gladdening hues Of the
tuyraiis of wild flowers. And
today, while the eastern papers are
Registering deaths by freezing, and
telling of the Billiards that are rag
ing and the SHOWS falling, Kenne-
wick sits here in a beautiful green
valley, enjoying all the pleasures
of mild autumn weather. Ofcourse
there is a reason for this. Nature
is not an cratic dame. She pays
strict attention to the law of cali &c
and effect, and there are many
causes that lead to our most salts.

main causes are: First, our loca

the cold winds from the north anc

climate here to their own tempera
