the .entral (airtlon of the Wlllameti-t val

temperature was 8 degrees above the nor
mal. The phenommul mildness of Ihe
temperature over the whole stale has not
heretofore been ncordiil. There have
been occurrence of a single day hating
h!;her maximum temperature than were
recorded this month: hut at few stations
has the mean temperature been hie her

entire absence of any severe coid. It was
due more to the all". nee of cold weather
than to marked Inn', ihat the mean tem
