book. How we ran down a
monster black bear in mid-stream with
a river steamer; the everyday trials
in our work; the wading and actual
swimming Of swamps, and the con-
slant attendance Of the little singer"
the Alaska mosquito; methods Of bath
ing; foods on the Tanana river-these
are only few Of the occurrences that
befell one of eleven engineering par
ties on this herculean government pro-
ject, writes George Mayo, assistant
United States engineer.
The first 400 miles OF railroad, the
part only of the great system that
now is to be a reality, has it's initial
point at Seward, thriving town on
the southern coast of Kenai peninsula;
follows the now imperative Alaska
Northern railroad around Turnigan
and Knik arms, and then follows the
Susitna and Chultina rivers to Broad
pass, from where the projected rail-
road runs down the Nenana river to
its junction with the Tanana, and up
this river to Fairbanks.
In order to reach the Fairbanks end
of the line, where our work lay, we
took coast steamer from Seattle to
Skagway on June 8; over the White
pass and Yukon railroad to White
Horse, and from there by river steam
er down the Yukon river and up the
Tanana river to Fairbanks.

about nine miles per hour in August
and September. The wind is mostly
from the west and southwest during
the first three months OF the year and
from June to December; quite large
period, but less than a majority or the
time during April and May the sur
face movement of the air is from the
east and northeast.
Maximum velocities Of short dura-
tion ranging from rs to 40 miles per
hour occur during most months OF the
year. and velocities OF 60 miles and
over are of comparatively rare occur
renee. Winds are more variable dur
ing the cooler half. Of the year. AT
all seasons the southerly winds are
usually moist and warm, the northerly
winds cold and dry. The easterly
winds usually herald unsettled wealth
er and the westerly winds presage fair
and settled conditions.
Owing TO the fact that the prevail
ing summer winds are southwesterly,
the shore OF Lake Michigan from the
southern limits of the state north
ward, is much sought for relief dur
ing the hot months by people Of other
states. Water breezes are refreshing,
especially at night.
Conclusion.
OF all of the northern states Michi'
gan has perhaps the most even or
equable climate on account OF the
dominating influence OF the great wa
ter bodies which almost surround it.
To the farmer the fruit grower and
the gardener the comparatively even
temperatures during spring and fall
are of untold value. The moisture
laden atmosphere induced by the
Great Lakes is beneficent to vegeta'
ton and stands as mighty bulwark
against the early, hot. forcing warm
waves of early spring and the later
cold waves OF almost every early sum-
mer; the Great Lakes and their mois'
ture produce comparatively even tenn
peratures during the warmest summer
months and in the fall retard the ad-
vance OF early cold.
The average or normal amount of
precipitation and IT'S distribution
throughout the year is ideal for field
and orchard operations; it's long sum
mer days are conducive to plant
growth and the ample sunshine OF
summer is a valuable aid to all of the
many favorable items of climate with
which nature has endowed the PENN
sular state.

grees, ranging from 40 degrees in the
extreme southern portion to about 80
ton, the average maximum or day
temperature ranges from about so de-
grees in summer to Is degrees in win
ter. The average minimum or night
temperature is approximately So de-

lures of 100 degrees or more are not
of frequent occurrence, although they
have been recorded at some places on
one or two days during the majority
of summers in the past % years.
Zero temperatures are an invariable
rule during the most months in the
winter in the Upper Peninsula and
northern half of the Lower Peninsula;
in the southern half of the Lower Pc

Normally the precipitation is ample

least amount is found to occur in the
midwinter months.
Snow.
Snow has never been known to oc.

Nearly sixty inches of snow falls an

Peninsula and something over seventy
inches in the Upper Peninsula.
Drought.
Short and irregular periods of
drought over limited portions of the
state have occurred. but long periods
of deficient precipitation are rare. An
