MYSTERY OF THE CHINOOK,
Dry, Warm Wind That Brings Joy to
the Northwest.

Down the mountains and over the
plains there blew for many hours last
week i'll swift, continuous current that al
ways marvellous phenomenon the Chi
nook wind. Wherever it touched the
snowbanks they melted as if by Ieger-
demain
No other phenomenon in this land of
meteorological mysteries is quite so
unique and distinctive. From the days
OF Lewis and Clark the chinook wind
mas been delight and wonder. Its
name IS derived from the Chinook nation
OF Indians, a One-time numerous and
! powerful people inhabiting the north
bank of the Columbia from The Dalles
1 to the ocean. Trappers, herdsmen and
! early aSrlcuItural settlers, nothing that it
| came into the interior from the south
west. called it chinook under the some
what mistaken belief that it flowed out
OF the Chinook country and drew its
warm and melting properties from the
mud Japan current. Scientific research
OF later days has shown that this be-
lief was largely erroneous.
The chinook is not a moist wind like
that which blows from the Pacific, but
! derives its snow melting powers from
its exceeding dryness. Napor laden
winds from the Pacific, rising to great
! heights in the Cascade mountains. are
drained of their moisture by that mouu-
| W. l
fled in those lofty elevations. In falling
! from the mountain heights to the plains
| of the inland empire they are warmed
| by the compression. 1t has ben Scien-
/ tihcally determined that the chinook
/ wind in falling from mountain to plain
| is warmed at the rate of about | degree
! for each $50 feet of descent. A fall of
$500 feet from the summit of the Cascade
mountains to the wide plateau of the in
terror will raise the temperature of the
wind by almost 80 degrees.
| Here, then, are the peculiar properties
! of the chinook wind-warmth and dry
ness, melting the SHOWS by its low tenn
perature and sucking them up by it's
! thirsty properties.
This phenomenon is repeated in the
! Rocky mountains and over the broad
plains of Montana When the chinook
wind has reached the Rocky mountains
it is again moisture laden and this mois-
ture is precipitated by that high range
! and its deviating spurs. 1t is rendered
! dry at the summit of the Rockies and is
again warmed by its rapid descent to the
Montana plains, and this benign influence
is often extended to the Dakotas.
| To the people inhabiting the vast inte-
riOr this chinook has ever been Joy and
a mystery. When SHOWS lay deep, the
lakes were ice bound and Indian herds
were furnishing, the abOrigines, from the
! Mandans of Dakota to the Yakimas and
the Walla Wallas, sought to propitiate
and to welcome the great spirit by mean
| tations and long continued dances. In
after years the white herdsman, despond-
ent as he saw his horses and cattle dy-
ing on the frozen SHOWS, found cheer
melting breath.-Spokane Spokesman-Re-
| Wow

Enfant Terrible Again.

There was company to dinner at Nel-
lies house in South Broad street, and
the diners were enjoying the first
course, which consisted of oyster soup.
Nellie made away with hers for some
time in silence, until she had nearly
cleaned the plate, when she suddenly
paused, and, looking at her mother
across the table, said in a stage whisper:
hair in the soup!'
Hush, Nellie" said mamma, frown-
ing. It's nothing but a crack in the
plate.'
Nellie moved the bowl of her spoon
back and forth over the supposed crack,
and then exclaimed triumphantly:
kin a crack move?''-St. Louis Re

ten by a Large Snake.


How few people there are who are
not afraid of snakes. Not long ago
a harmless little garter snake fell on
the wheel of an automobile which was
being driven by woman. The woman
promptly tainted and the car, left to
it's own resources, ran into a stone
wall and caused a serious accident.
The bite of a poisonous snake needs
prompt attention. Mrs. X. M. Fishel,
Route No. 1, Box 40, Dillsburg, Pa,
tells how she saved her life when bit
ten by large snake.
"On August 30, 1906, l was bitten
on the hand twice by large copper
head snake. Being a distance from
any medical aid, as a last resort
used Sloans Liniment, and to my as
tonishment found it killed all pain
and was the means Of saving my life.
I am the mother of four children and
am never without your Liniment."

There Is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether and until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurabe. For great many
years doctors pronounced 1t a local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incura BILE. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
