THE SUNDAY ' OBEGONIAN; PORTLAND, - MAY - 20, 1900. 11 CLIMATE OF GAPE NOME MORE EQUABLE TIIAX THAT OF IN TERIOR CODMRY. Not Mock Vesetatloa and Fael is Scarce Fik and Game for Food. Hack Moisture. WASHINGTON', May 11. In all that has been printed about the Cape Nome country, little has been said about the climate, and still less about the vegeta tion and natural resources of that partic ular region beyond the mineral resources. A somewhat Interesting description ot these features Is embraced in the report of the geologists -who visited that coun try last Fall and Winter, and -whose r& port Was recently submitted to Congress. Of the climate of Nome, they say: "The climate on Seward Peninsula, though It is arctic. Is milder and much more even than that in the same lati tudes In the interior of Alaska, or the Tukon country- The precipitation, also, is considerably greater. The Summer Is not so warm, nor the Winter so cold. The sea, here traversed by a branch of the Japanese current, Is the great moderator. "According to the records of the Weather Bureau, the extremes of tem perature noted at St. Michael inland are "i decrees I?. In July and 55 degrees F. in retruary. The records show freezing temperatures every month except July. The most reliable data indicate that the temperature at Nome is usually somewhat lower than at St Michael. The Winters, as noted, are not to cold at Nome as In the Yukon Basin, but are more trying, because of the dampness and of the cold winds, from -which there Is no shelter. "The Summer, -which Is short and gen erally cool, resembles Spring In the North ern United States. Rain Is of frequent occurrence, often continuing steadily for several days, but it is not usually accom panied by wind. Dense fogs, however, are not common. The prevailing Summer winds are from the south. "Vegetation attains it maximum growth in late July and early August, when verdure and wild flowers abound, ard give a great -variety of colors; but they do not flourish long, for scarcely has the season emerged from Spring and the snow disappeared, when it passes Into Fall, with Its nipping frosts, Indicative of the approaching Win ter. In Summer the days are long. From late May to early July It is daylight nearly all the time, with night scarcely perceptible at the time of Sum mer solstice, about the 21st of June. In August the length of the day begins rap idly to decrease. "The Winters will probably average 10 or more degrees milder than at the Forty Mile and Klondike region. In the same latitude in the interior. They are not much colder than In some parts of the northern United States. The minimum temperature, or greatest cold, seems to occur at about the middle of January, at which time the thermometer rarely de scends to more than 30 degrees below zero. From late October to early April, how ever, for a period of nearly six months, there are said to be but few 3ays on which the thermometer rises above the freezing point. Snow begins to fall on the mountains early In September and on the low country along the coast about the middle of that month. Blizzards are fre quent. They begin early In November and are usually of several dajs duration, but some have been known to last for as many weeks In the month of February. They generally come from the north or northeast. The snowfall is not heavy, but the snow drifts greatly. It comes with the prevailing Winter winds, which are usually from the north or northeast, espe cially the latter. A west wind denotes clear weather, during which the display of northern lights Is said often to be eubllme. The fallen snow Is pecularlly drj -frozen, bo that pieces of it when struck together give a clinking, metallic sounO. The Ice attains a thickness ot irom tour to five feet, but Bering Strait, the chan nel between Seward Peninsula and Si beria, Is rarely, If ever, trozen over "by a continuous sheet of ice. Only rarely can the Diomede Islands, In the middle of the channel, be reached on the Ice. Ac cording to Captain Jarvls, along the shore eolid ice usually extends out from Ave to six miles, beyond which is open water with fields of ice drifted about by the wind. Even in the coldest weather the natives go out to this open water to hunt eeal, and nearly every year some of them are carried away and almost perieh from starvation before the Ice field drifts, so as to enable them to leave it and reach the shore. In the Spring, water begins to flow in the creeks and rivers toward the latter part of May, about the same time that the ice breaks up in the Yukon coun try. The Nome coast is free from Ice ear lier in the Spring and later in the Fall than the coast about St. Michael Harbor, but usually the fields of drift and shore ice do not suffl 'entlj disappear to permit the approach o vessels before the 10th of June. It begins to form again about Ave months, later, re that i essels should not count on leav ng the region later than early November. Where played upon by the wind and tide, the drift Ice is said often to pile up to a height of several hundred feet along the shore. "The climate, though for the most part moist and rainy, may be said to be gen erally healthful in Summer, but rather harsh and severe when cold weather seta in, eo that severe colds and pulmonary troubles' lespeoiirirynpneumonia, are com mon. Drainage raod water supply last season were poor, so that typhoid fever, often complicated by pneumonia, was common and not rarely fatal. About the middle of last October there were report ed to be about SOO cases of typhoid and pneumonia In the Nome region. "The striking feature of the Nome region with respect to vegetation is the absence Of timber. The tundra has been referred to as a flat, treeless, moss-covered waste. In this it differs little from the barren plains of the Arctic Coast. Not a tree is to be seen, and In most places not a bush or shrub of any .sort. The nearest approach to anything like timber In the region Is a -very dwarfed or stunted growth of alder and willow. This shrub bery or brushwood rarely attains more than three or four feet In height, and seldom three inches In diameter. It oc curs principally along the edges of some of the valleys and on the creeks and gulch es in the lower reaches of the mountains, and ia eometimes found crouched In fringes closely hugging the stream beds In the tundra. It Is unsuitable for camping, and wholly Inadequate for cabln-bullding and mining purpose?. This absence of timber is a6igned by Professor F. V. Covllle, United States botanist, who has visited the region, to the rigors of the arctic cli mate. "From the reports of Dr. Sheldon- Jack Eon and lieutenant Jarvls, the Port Clar enco region is similarly destitute, while the absence of timber In the St. Michael region, is w ell known. Some timber, how ever, occurs in the Golofn'n Bay region, as may be een from the following ac count of Uoutenant Jarvls in his ov erland relief expedition to Point Barrow In 1S37 and 189S. The timber here, which is pre sumably Truce. with some poplar, cotton wood, alder and willow, probably owea Jts existence and preservation to the more sheltered condition of the region on the southern edge of Seward Peninsula. "On the east side of this mountain," to the east of Golofin Bay. "Is a good, heavy growth of timber, but the west side Is lsare. In a few vallevs of Golofnln Sound was a sparse growth of trees, but. except for a few visible in the distance In the Kotxebue Sound region, we saw no more trees In all the country we traveled through from here to Point Barrow." Driftwood for Fuel. "Though the Nome region grows no tim ber, there Is another source of fuel sup ply on this bleak Coast. It consists of driftwood, or timber cast ashore by the sea. Here It has been left in a great wind row; extending almost continuously along the beach near the hase of the tundra, "while in the estuaries, embayments and tidal lagoons the accumulation is often very great, covering many acres in area. This driftwood consists principally of trunks and stumps of trees, forming logs often 20 to 40 feet in length and two or more feet in diameter, many of which are still In a fair state of preservation. The timber is principally Alaskan spruce, though other varieties are reported. It has como from the 'Yukon River and dis tant shores. Some logs bearing the brand of Puget Sound saw mills are reported to have been found. The value of this drift wood to Nome and the prospector during last season, both as .fuel and In the con struction of Winter cabins, can hardly be overestimated. At points away from Nomelts use to the prospector will prob ably continue for tome time to come. For so great a population as that at Nome, however,, the supply is necessarily limit ed, so that little or no reliance should bq placed upon It for future use. "In the Nome region, both on the tundra and in the larger" valleys, occurs a patchy but fair growth of grass, suitable for the support of horses, cattle and sheep during the Summer months. In certain locali ties the reindeer also are reported to feed upon it in the green state. It does not, however, so far as observed, seem to "be suitable for haj. Wild flowers abound in great profusion, and some herbs, pre sumably of the arctic flora type, are re ported to occur. The principal wild fruits appearing In the region are the blueberry and the sal mon berry. The former is rather com mon. In some localities on the peninsula It Is reported to be preserved by the mis sionaries and natives for Winter use. "The principal and almost universal vegetation In the Nome region is mcs3. It Is of the true Siberian or Arctic tundra type of the Eastern continent. It covers with a dense growth the entire Nome tun dra, and in many localities extends well up Into the mountains. According to Dr. Sheldon Jackson, of the Bureau of Edu cation, that covering the tundra flats about Nome Is of two kinds. The larger por tion of it is the Sphagnum. Mixed with this moss is the "reindeer mose" proper, the scientific name of which Is cladonla ranglferlna. On this latter moss the rein deer thrive at all seasons of the year. Agriculture. "From the shortness of 9 the Summer season, the absence of timber, and the presence of but few species of vegetation of any kind in the Nome region, it would seem that only very moderate possibilities In the line of agriculture could be expect ed, though the soil, consisting of a foot or two of peaty and vegetable decayed matter, is probably fertile enough to sup port a good growth of almost any kind of crop. On the coast line of Golofnln Bay efforts, at gardening by Captain Dexter, who has been settled there for years, have been fairly successful, especially in grow ing the more hardy vegetables. Rev. A. E. Carlson, missionary at "Unalakllk (lat itude 63 deg 50 mln.. on Norton Sound, where the climatic conditions are prob ably not unlike those of Nome, reports that he has raised potatoes, turnips, car rots, cabbage, radishes and green peas in the garden at his station. . Flnh and Game. "In the Nome region and on the greater part of Seward Peninsula game of almost every kind is scarce, especially large game. The principal indigenous land quadruped is probably the Arctic hare Some lynx are also said to occur. Only occasionally is a caribou or bear to bo seen. Of the feathered tribe, the ptar magin, grouse and Arctic owl are all in digenous and common, while during the short Summer season many species of temperate-climate birds visit the region as guests. "Fishing is carried on in a small way by the natives along the greater part of the coast, but more especially on the larger streams. The principal fish Is the ealmon. Here, as elsewhere in Alas ka, this and the cod are the fish' on which the native largely relies for his supply of Winter food. Salmon-trout-are also common, and fine rockcod occur as far north as Cape Prince of Wales' At Port Clarence a species of herring or smelt, very plentiful and of a deliclons flavor. Is known to occur. A species of large crab, much like the Pacific Coast crab, very delicious and much UEed a& food. Is found at Golofnln Bay and ss far north as Cape Prince of Wales. The hair seal Is common all along the coast, and becomes abundant toward Cape Prince of Wales. Economically it is a very im portant animal to the native on ac count of Its store of meat and oil, and especially the skin for clothing, footwear and sundry uses. The seal are taken In both Winter and Summer. In Winter the natives go out on the sea Ice some six ur eight miles from shore, where a few seal are procured at the edge of the open sea. The natives are also reported to take a whale or two along the coast al most every year. They sell the bones, while the carcass is appropriated for food." usines -wSfcdfeA ''''' JO0m nagg3k mmmMMwm - amm&p .mmsai ' .-&3&1&: v$rr&&rk 5ySv yt- -WtfV.-?SATVcVic"':r. 1V V Krr ?or ivjl H M T 4J&8&$ tS&sb &$te& &&vvlf ' 4v jS yNmiMi- to ill bfalta. trill tn ocean's. iVt 1.,VNU tJl slihfd Rcra HouiK lathe city; mil ,v,Vhl fouf 4 EH en.

LOOKING UP INDIAN CURIOS The Curator of the Field Columbian Museum Is Coming Here to Do So. The approaching visit to Washlmrtnn nf Ttj Georgo A. Dorsey, curator of the Field Columbian Museum, has created much Interest among Indian curio collec tors and those Interested in the history of the early tribes of the Northwest. Dr. Doreey is expected, according to a letter written to George A. Lamer, of Spokane, to arrive about August l, eavs the Chron icle. His work in this state will, it Is thought, occupy about a month, during which time ho will visit every tribe In the state. Before reaching here he will spend several weeks in the Indian coun try of Wyoming, Utah, California and Oregon, eavlng, however, the greater part of time for his reeearcheu in Washington. Mr. Lamer, w ho, until a year ago was a resident of Boise, Idaho, Is the owner of one of the most valuable collections of Indian curios in the West. Thla week he is in Seattle conferring with other collec tors, with a view to rendering assistance to Dr. Dorsey during his stay. "Washington has been hunted over be fore by agenta of various institutions for curios and mementoes," he said, "but there never has been so thorough a search as is planned for this year by the Field Columbian Museum. This institution, which had its inception at the World's fair, in Chicago, has made rapid strides, and bids fair in a few ears to surpass in 4ts usefulness in certain lines not only similar institutions in this country, but even the British Museum. "Two expeditions have been organized this year and w ill be in the fleld all sea son. The flret will be in charge of C L. Owen and J. A. Burt, assistants In the department of anthropology, and will work entirely In Arizona. They will visit the ruined dwellings of the Hopl Indians and other tribes. The Northwestern ex pedition. Including the states mentioned, will be in charge of Dr. Don?ey. The two parties expect to secure many collections of historic value. Expenses will be paid out of a fund set apart for the work two j ears ago. It Is expected that in 'Wash ington more data will be gathered than In any other state. For this reason more time will be spent here, "In the past very little early history of the far Northwestern tribes has been written. More attention in the past has been paid to the interior tribes, whose habits and customs were wholly different from any in this section of the country. "Dr. Dorsey will be accompanied by a corps of able assistants but much aid can be given h'.m by Washington collectors. It is of n&tioral importance that the his tory of Washington tribes be gathered eoon. The longer It lies burled the harder It will be to procure." - . . . i i 'I A -d -CI S TtfA'l ADDeVSEU ) r"- erve '40 Yin? :AT'r"-m? crw 'and success is yours. ..Taken:-every . morning, Before "bj-eakfast Abbey's Salt tones the system, purifies the blood, clears the complexion, keeps the appetite on edge, and the digestion good.
