WASHINGTON TERRITORY. 353 sheep are yearly wintered in the Columbia Basin without being fed apound of hay or grain. The great saving clause of this region is what is called the Chi-nook/ a warm wind that blows over the country at irregular intervals dur-ing the year, melting the snow and ice in winter and purifying the air insummer. The Chinook is claimed to be a part of the trade-winds, which,blowing up the Pacific coast, diverge up the Columbia through the Cas-cade Pass. Whencesoever it cometh, it is a most welcome and beneficentvisitor. The average rainfall during the past seven years has been 15.50inches. The rain falls mostly between October and May, only a fewshowers occurring during the summer. Harvest commences when thegrain is ready to cut, and is carried on until it is all gathered, withoutregard to the weather. All the fruits usually raised in the temperate zone, including peaches,pears, apples, grapes, and other small fruits, grow luxuriantly on thebunch-grass lands. Orcha
