The Chinook is one of the pecuki- aritice and one of tho blessings of Western Assiniboia and Southern Alberta. It affects the broad belt of territory contiguous to the Toot hills of the Rocky Mountains, blow- ing down the slopes as genial breezes in the winter time, and in summer tempering the hcat as currents of cool and moisture-laden air. The winter climate of these Provinces is very like that of Colorado, a 82ason of bright, cloudless days, infrequent and scanty snowfalls, and frequent and prolonged breaks of warm weath- er, heralded by the Chinook wind. No doubt the Japan current, which in Dritish Columbia plays the part of the gulf stream in northwestern Europe, contributes to temper these regions. The Chinook is so called because {t blows from the quarter Where lics the land once inhabited by the Chinook Indians, on the banks of the lower ColumlLia River. Shipbuilding Laber. Tonnage is but a poor basis for comparing the worth of the ship- building work done. In the ordinary tramp steamer of 6,000 tons, which represents a large proportion of the year's shipbuilding work, the num- ber of workmen's hours spent in con structional work, from first to last, is from 200 to 280 per ton of bulld- ers' finished weight; whercas, even in the intermediate liner with moder- ately handsome accommodation for passengers, the time spent is at least 400 hours per ton of finished builders' weight. And in warship work the time is seldom less than 700 hours; 80 that in considering the relative value of the work of diffor- ent firms this ought to be taken im~ to account.
