LIMATE OF THE GREAT
NORTHWEST.
i — •
DEAn ExPosieon, —An eaaterner in think-
ing of this country is ept to consider it in
a oh el ee proximity to the north pole as to
bp alto et useless as a grain producing coun-
try. He reaches this oonolueion from infer-
ence. ; He knows how cold it is ab bis own
home i» the east, and naturally he thinke
that 1 r every degree of latitude he goee
ninth o that it should get colder. For ex -
a ' ple, entreal and Ottawa are in latitude
4 and e always ooneider that they }neve
v ry se ere winters. Quebeo city is about
1 titud 47 and it bae a still more Bevere
winter. l What more natural than that peo.
p e eha Id argue that the Seekatchewan vet -
t si, wh oh lies between latitudes 52 and 54,
7 degre s north of Quebec), must be next
0 ighlt r t� the artio ocean and frozen solid
the ye* round, less a few days in July per-
hap.s, his, however, is one of the times
t at yii 1 can't argue from inference from a
ccqsjde ation of latitude alone. There are
ether t ings besides latitude that influence
climate We all know how the warm web-
er e of t e Gulf Stream affect the olimate of

iin val by, which Is about ,the sem° lath
ade, 4 n hardly be thought of without a
laivers bile in reality, taking it the goer
ldfor
aarnOunls enjoys a milder climate than Scot -
example. If this part of the [mun-
e- wer re't so far from the Pacific oce3n, or
if the Rouky mountains weren't so high, the
Chinook winds would have a better sweep at
nil and the climate would be milder than it
ie. Bat even far to the north of this,in lati-
tude 5i„1350 miles north of the Fort, - there
is and has been for 15 years a proaperous
agrioolt iral settlement at Fort Vermilion,
an thel ever Peace river, and even at Fort
Provide oe, 200 miles futher north, all sorts
of grain potetoes and ordinary garden pro•
deice ad euecessfully grown.
Whil the chinook winds have such a
benefice it effect on the climate in this dit-
triot, tit y are not for some re3son or other
eo strong and boieterous here as in some
parts ollthe territories. At Calgary, for
feet* el, the wieds are veryhigh and are
nis of tfe outstanding features of the eur•
o ndi g district and the result is that any
en w t at falls in that loorility is quickly
r lted by the chinooke. So this is largely
e the fact that southern Alberta is such a
°lad r Oohing country since the snow never
Fes so deep as to neeesaitate the feedieg of

year round. I must sey I Was incredulous
when oro of the farmers in the Moose Jaw
di trict told me that when they got through
fith their home in the fall they turned
ain ouc and seb the dog on them and that
t herpes never bothered them and they
never bothered the horses until the following
spring. [However, I can quite believe it now
sifter looking into the climatic conditions.: -
As a 'result of the absence of high winds
in the 18s.skatohewan distiict, there is a
✓ ater tainfall here and a more equal teM-
aeprin summer and winter than where
h wi

Shirt sleeves, but without overcoats. ' Of
golirsts every day isn't as warm as to -day
end there are periods of cold weather here
eslwell as everywhere else. For example, a
*eok ago Sunday and Monday the tenipera-
tuze was anywhere from 20 to 40 degrees
beow zero. Still, I understand that the
e iods of extreme cold and storm are rare
n on the average the winters are short

a total loss, together with la large stock,

abort; with several hundred bags. The
mill ivas first erected in 1843, by John
Hawkins, but has changed bands several
times since. The roller process was put in
by Mahaffy some years ago, and the present
owneti has worked up a No. 1 trade and was
well liked by the public in gerieral, he being
a firsOclaes miller, and turned out the best
grade a of our to be found in the western
part of Ontario. The loss ,is a serious one
to Mr1 Schoenhoile, and puts two men out of
steady employment. He had only $3,000
ineur*ce, so it is said, whieh falls a long
way short of the . original coat of the fine
structnre,•now a total ruin. Bub the site

will again rebuild in the summer. The fire
