To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Southwest wind is warm and moist ; it is often a low stratum of air, and ofttimes when it is blowing the altitude of the Cascade Range is such that it prevents it from sweeping over its summit until it reaches the Columbia River, where on the North side of the river it encounters the high spurs of the range, which bear to the West, and this causes the current to be deflected up the Columbia River, warming up every- thing as it sweeps on. Then the traders at The Dalles and Wallula would say,... '*Why, here's the Chinook wind, and it's thawing everything out." That is the first application of the name to the Southwest wind un- consciously made. In course of time they began to APPENDIX. 97 apply it to any warm wind, wherever met. Of course the Southern wind does not come from Chinook, and the foregoing is the on^ reasonable solution as to the manner of its acquiring the name of *' Chinook wind." I am aware that I have not made an adequate presen- tation of the subjects herein touched upon, but limited space forbids a wider discussion at this time.
