FRENCH CLIME
LIKE Mill
Tne following article consists of
ex'racts from a statement on the
climate of France and Belgium by
Mr. Preston C. .Day, chief of the
Clima'ological l/'ivisiou of l'<e
Weather Bureau: The present in
terest of the people of the I'nited
States in matters pertaining to Ku- [
rope has extended to questions of
climate and the probable effect of
the weather upon the health and
comfort of those who have lu-en or
who may be called for service in
France and Belgium.
France aini Belgium together oc
cujv that portion of the western
coast of Kurope extending from
north latitude 42" 20' to 51° 20',
which corresponds nearly to the por
tion of the Ameiicaii coast lying
tetween Boston and tne northern
en<* of Newfoundland. .Marseille,
the most southerly important city of
France, is farther north than Bos
ton while Paris is nearly 500 miles
farther north than Chicago. Brus
sels, in latitude 50° 51', is more
thaa 50 miles farther north than
Winnipeg, Canada, or in the same
latitude as the southern portion of |
Hudson Bay.
Vanned by Ocean lJreezes
France and-Belgium, located as
they are, in the region of the east
ward drift of 'he atmosphere, afford
in their climate an excellent ex
ample of the modifying influences
exerted upon land areas by the
proximity of large bodies of wat
er to tfeir 'western borders.
The outstanding features of the
temperature of the countries of,
western Kurope are the comparative
ly wan* winters for such, light lati- j
tudS and the relatively cool sum
mers. Along the coast of northern '
Frnuce and of Belgium tempera-1
tur^s are very similar to those ex- j
perienced on our own northern Pa
cific coast, the average monthly
temperatures at Dunkirk, France,
and at Seattle, Wash., being identi- '
cal for nearly half the months of
the year and differing only Blightly
tor the other months. Farther
sou'h- over the Atlantic coast dis
tricts of France the tempreatures
throughout the year resemble those
of the coasts of southern Oregon
i.'ul northern California, and during
i he winter months the averages are
not materially different from those
a" the Carolina and Georgia coasts.
GEVERAL MANAGER WHITE
PASS & YUKON ROUTE
IN SKAGWAY
II. \\\ Wheeler, general manager
for the White Pass & Yukon Route,
rt::s an incoming passenger on
lh" Krii.cess Sophia. He says every
j:i on the outside is too busy doing
ivar AOrk to talk of war conditions
>r as i when, the war will end, but
that r:s opinion is only a revolt in
Clerma i.y can hasten the war to a
speedy conclusion.
Mr. Wheeler is not very enthu
siastic regarding tourist travel
this summer bcaeuse of the great
blockade in railroad traffic, but
says that undoubtedly theref will be
i small amount of travel to the
uorth.

Skagway Defeats Fort Seward
In Basket Ball And Bowling
Skagway defeated Ft. Wm. H.
Seward ia basket ball ia«t night by
a score of 54 to 25, and the fort
l"st the bowling contest by a score
of 232G to 2123. Both, contests
"were exciting? and the bowling
game was closely) played, skagway
basket ball players had to look to
their laurels in the first of the
three periods which, were played
when the visitors came out on' top
Kith • score of 13 to 10, but during
the second and third periods, things
took a brighter outlook for the
home team, with the result shown
by the final score.
Ft. Seward players made some
teautiful long basket throws, and
showed a great deal of individual
•kill. Tbey did not play as good
a team game as the Skagway boys,
nor were they able to keep up the
|>ace which the home players set.
Eight fouls were called oil Skag
way and six on the visitors. Ft.
Seward converted three fouls into
points, while Skagway was unable
to find the basket at all. Of the
54 points made by the home team,
Cleou Ask has credit for 20, or ten
baskets: Harry Ask made 1G points,
George Rapuzzi 12, Win. Smith 4,
and Vic Sparks 2. • J
Had it not been for the excel-i
lent work of Skagiways guards Ft.
Seward would have had a much larg
er score. < I
Following th<j bakset ball game a j
most enjoyable dance was held in,
the White Pass gym.

ST. VALENTINE'S DAY
We almost forgot this is St. Val
eutine'n Day and; in our rush; to
say something appropriate we print
the following verse taken from#the
Good Housekeeping Magazine.
A valentine
If all te true that vise men say
Of good St. Valentine Ills day,
Oh, then above the melting enow
The Snowdrops bashful kisses blow;
'The s'lver Trout of lake and linn
Do swim together fin-to-fin;
The furry Hares of heath and shaw
Do make their gambols, paw-to-paw;
The Birds their mating carols stag
And fly together, wing-and-wlng.
And' all about the wakening land
Go Youths and Maidens, hand-in
haad,
Then, Ever-Dearest, hear my plea
And wander hand-in-hand with me.
August Jaquot, trader in the Klu
ane country, will bo a passenger otV
the Princess Sophia for Vancouver.
Max Ross and J. J. KImpie, of
Whitehorse will also be southbound
passe&gers.
