CLIMATE IN EARLIER DAYS SEMLTROPICAL ‘The history of Puget sound as ap- plied to the present surface, goes back to an era in which much of Western Washington was under the sea, The Cascades and Olympics had not yet begun to develop, in fact at least a part of these regions (now | such mighty ranges of mountains) was submerged, We had, then, a/ great estuary or inland sea, probably | bordered by a hilly or low mountain. | ous region, The climate was semi: | tropical and very moist, as shown by the fossil plants of that age. A luxuriant forest must have existed by | this ancient sea, for wo fing embed: | ded in'the rocks species of magnolia, figs, palms and large tr erns, There was much swampy land on the borders of the sea, for coal in| considerable thickness was formed at this period. Coal is the result of bed after bed of vegetable matter ac: cumulated under water. It must) have been quiet water or the material H would have been washed away, There fore we conclude that swamp condi-| tions were necessary for its forma-| tion. ‘At this timo the Cascades began to be formed, and a little later, the great | dome of the Olympics began to rise, This interior sea collected the tre- mendous amount of sediment which was of necessity carried down from these new mountain masses by their streams, With the land rising on either side of the interior sea, it was necessary for the Puget Sound region to sink, somewhat in the form of a long, north-south trough, in order to maintain the necessary balance In the whole region. In this way, thou- sands of feet of sediment accump- lated in the sinking trough until the bordering ranges had assumed some what of their present-day propor. tions. | Then 2 change took place and the Sound began to rise” This || continued until the whole region became dry land, with a network of river valleys flowing off to the north. If you look at any map of the Sound, the similarity to a river system Is very striking, the long arms extending inland be ing veritable drowned valleys. This stream system developed a typical pattern; converging deep va} leys with broad, flat divides sep. The fact that | up to this time the climate was grow ing steadily colder, ts reflected in the all need of pills and physics. It pro- motes appetite and quickly puts the digestive orgnns in shape to assimi- late food.
