By GLADYS MAYO

The future looked grim for Mon
tana stOckmen in the month of
November, 1896, as unusually
heavy early SHOWS bIanketed the
grazing ranges of the state from
the Rockies eaStward Many
Treasure state cattIemen predicted
that the spring of 1897 would see
Montana herds as disaStrOusly
depleted as they had been that
fatefuI, heart breaking springtime
of 1887, just a decade before. But
this time fate decreed otherwise
as a friendly chinook wind, a
natural phenomenon peculiar to
the American northwest, saved the
herds on Montana ranges. IL was
a cheering, dramatic change of
weather that would have caused
men Of another age to cry,
''AIiraclei"
The state was in the grip Of a Sc
we're cold spell when that welcome
chinook came over the mountains It
stood at As degrees below zero;
scarcely breath of wind stirred over
the ranges when tens of thousands of
Montana cattle stood starving in 80
inches of crusted snow. Things looked
hopeless, for the winter had scarcely
started.
Alvin T. Barrows, United States
MCaLAAE4 UQACAu ODoC4fEAs Alrlo 4ClN 10
a vivid account of the coming of the
chinook which meant reprieve from
financial ruin for most Montana cattle
rancherS. Describing the coming Of the
wind, Barrows wrote:
Suddenly over the edge of the
mountains to the southwest appeared
a great bank of black clouds, their
outer edges blown to tatters by the
wind. In q few minutes a short puff
Of hot, dry air had reached the plains,
and in the following seven minutes
the temperature had risen "a degreeSi
The wind increased in velocity to IS
miles and the temperature rose to 38
degrees above zero. Within II hours
every vestige of the 30 inches of snow
had disappeared, leaving behind bare
hills and the plains covered with
water"
All Montanans know the warm
breath of the chinook wind, but one
such as Barrows describes comes but |
once in a lifetime, and If his story |
were not a part Of the official records |
of the United States weather bureau /
1t might be one difficult to believe. |
The rapid change of temperature he /
describes was observed at Kipp, Mont, |
but similar reports came from other
parts of the state. Dillon reported a
temperature rise of from 6 degrees to |
40 IN two hours. In Red Lodge the
mercury jumped from 81 below zero to
81 above in one hour, and Miles City,
Havre and Helena reported similar
sudden movements of the mercury.
Such quick changes Of temperature
are characteristic of the chinook wind,
and are to this day something of
mystery to the experts of the weather
bureau. The most common explanation
of the winds is that they are caused
by the surging to and fro of warm
and cold air currents high above the
earth. In an earlier day the general
belief was that chinooks were caused
by the Japanese current along the
north Pacific coast of America, but
today's scientists discount this theory,
pointing out that even near Alaska
the japanese current is but a mile
wide, and that the difference between
