The "chinooks' which come I'M
failingly each winter at irregular in
tervals, are probably the most dis
tinctive climatic phenomenon of the
Inland Empire. They were observ-
ed at an early period in our history
by explorers and trappers, and by
them were thought to come from the
country on the lower Columbia that
was occupied by the Indian tribe of
that name The correct explanation
was not made by scientists until
about thirty years ago, when it was
pointed out and proved that the COM
parative dryness and great warmth
of these winds resulted from their
rapid descent down the east slope of
the Cascade mountains; or when they
appeared upon the Montana plains
from their rapid movement down the
east slope of the Rocky mountains.
1t is now known that rapidly de-
scending air currents, by coming un-
der great pressure, are compressed
and warmed at the rate of one de-
gree for each 1873 feet of descent.
A strong chinook wind therefore is
about thirty degrees warmer when
1t reaches the Columbia river in
eastern Washington than it was at
the summit of the mountains. To
this climatic fact is largely due the
mild and broken winter of the In
land Empire. In pioneer days In
dian tribes of the interior, when suf-
fering from excessively cold blasts
from the northeast, implicitly went
through ceremonial dances to con-
jure the coming of the mild chinook.
and as nature had benefieently ar
ranged that a cold wave from the
east was always followed by a warm
chinook from the west, the native in
carnations never failed, and these
winds helped greatly to maintain the
credit and glory of the medicine
man.-Ex.

The little steamer Milwaukee,
owned by the Red Collar line, still
makes her daily trips up the lake
about ten miles, and thus far has
not missed trip this winter. The
boat came in last night and went out
again at 8 O'Clock this morning, and
upon her return to the city this after
noon new crew will go aboard and
another trip will begin. The chan
mel is being kept open by the Mil
waukee and it is hoped that the little
Monarch as so many people are
now calling the boat, may keep up
her daily trips through the present
cold spell, and it is believed that she
will.
