points named. Except in two instances, the 
figures are furnished by the United States Sig¬

The tcmperatiu-e at Helena, Montana, may 
properly be taken as a fair average for the ter¬ 
ritory, and hence for the mountain section of 
tho Northern Pacific Railroad, where climatic 
difficulties should he encountered if anywhere. 
Helena is on the general route of tho road, di¬ 
rectly in the mountains, and but a l’ew hundred 
feet below tho highest point on the line. Not¬ 
withstanding the past winter has been the cold¬ 
est ever known in Montana, and a surprise to the 
people, it will be observed: 
1. That the average temperature at Helena 
(latitude 16*4°) for the four months was the 
same as that of Philadelphia, although the lat¬ 
ter city is 4,200 feet lower and 450 utiles further 
south.
