THE CHINOOK WINDS.
What They Are and Their Origin.
Explained BY One
Who Knows.

Although Oftimes explained in the
columns of the press. we are con-.
fronted daily with the question,
What is a Chinook" and we publish
the explanation as given by Director
T.. S. Wells of the weather bureau:
"The name chinook is nowadays
given rather Unfortunately to any
warm wind. particularly if this warm
wind occurs following a period of I'M
usually cold weather. Strictly speak
ing, however the term is applicable
only to warm, dry winds, blowing
down mountain slope. These winds
owe their warmth and dryness to
mechanical processes through which
the air passes in crossing a mountain
range. Briefly, these processes are as
follows:
Air, in rising, whether the rise be
caused by a mountain range lying
athwart the path Of the current, or
by the conventional currents that are
taking place constantly in the air on
warm summer days, loses one degree
of heat for every 1873 feet of ascent.
This cooling process goes on till the
air reaches a temperature where the
invisible vapor begins to be con-
densed into clouds of rain or snow
as the case may be. When condensa-
tion begins to take place, a certain
amount of energy is set free, and this
energy becomes manifest as heat, re-
tarding the cooling that has been go
ing on. When the summit is reached
and the current of air begins to
descend, il increases in temperature
one degree for each 1873 feet of
descent This process is aided by the
energy set free in the condensation.
The air finally warns 70 a tempera-
ture so high that condensation
ceases, and il eventually reaches the
foot of the mountain as a dry, warm
wind, known as chinook.
I'm Montana, where these winds
occur on large scale, they blow from
the west, because Montana lies on
the eastern side of the great con-
tinental divide The winds occur at
Boise but on a very small scale, and
their effect is local. Here they come
usually from the northeast, coming
directly off the Boise range. Some
times they last but a few minutes.
Occasionally they come from the
nroth or east and once in a while
from the southeast, but never blow
toward the mountains. An interest
ing example of such wind was noted
here on the night of December 80.
At about ] i p. m. the wind changed
suddenly from northwest to south
east, and in less than half an hour
the temperature rose from "a de-
gree to 46 degrees, and the relative
humidity fell from nearly 100 per
cent to above SIS per cent. During
the prevalence of a local chinook
wind, it may be said that at that
time the sky was cloudy, and a light
sprinkle of rain followed"

First to Fifth.

The dates for the Boise poultry
show have been set as February

be in the old Eilers piano house on
Idaho street, between Seventh and

Secretary Medic Hills feels that
if the interest shown by the poultry

taken as a criterion, the exhibition
promises to outshine any ever given
in this section of the Northwest.
The secretary is in receipt of many
letters in regard to the premium list
and other information pertaining to
the show These lists are now ready
for mailing, and the association is
anxious that every poultry man in
the state should write for one. Pre-
miums to the amount Of $500 will
be given away in silver cups. cash

ribbons have been ordered and every
winner of a first. second or third
premium will receive a ribbon worth
