portions OF five eastern Oregon coun-
ties. Umatilla. Union, Grant, Morrow
and Wheeler, and has an area of 49,
7S6 acres. The forest is open with
little or no underbrush.
The topography is rolling. with no
marked features except along the
breaks OF the John Day River and In
the northeastern portion. where the
canyons are deep and rugged. The
elevation is from 500 to 700 feet.
In summer the climate is hot and
dry and there Is little rain. but the
nights are cool and pleasant. The sum
mer season for campers generally
covers the period from July TO Au-
gust 81 after this the nights begin TO
get colder and stormy weather Is like
ly TO occur.
The forest is In two divisions, east-
ern and western, with Camas Valley T.
tervening. The principal tributary
points are Pendleton and Pilot Rock
in Umatilla county. and Heppner in
Morrow county. Settlements in the
region of the forest are Spray and

.CONEY RABBIT GIVEN
SCIENTIFIC NAME FOR
PENDLETON BIOLOGIST
Stanley Jewett Honored by De-

Little Animal Found in the
Mountains.

Stanley Jewett. of the United States
Biological Curvey which has its Ore

quarters in Pendleton, is a Christo-
pher Columbus in his own line. for
to him has been awarded the honor
| of discovering the only specimens of
the "Ochotoua Schisticeps jewetti'
sent to the biological collection at
Washington, d. C.
As the name implies, the specimen
was named for Mr.. Jewett. 1t is
known also as coney, rock rabbit
and little chief hare. common in Ba-
ker. Grant and Wallowa counties.
The biological society announces that
the name of the little animal was cho-
sen Gin recognition of the excellent
field work of Stanley Jewett of Ore
gon mammals" and Mr.. Jewett says
that he would rather have the coney
for namesake than any other ani-
NAL. The honor is rare one. as the
practice of naming animals. for the
discoverer is dying out.
The new species, which besides be-
ing found in Oregon is native to the
Cascades and Rockies, is little known.

sent to Washington by Mr.. Jewett
were shot in Wallowa and are of
pale color which closely resembles the
GRANTEES of that section. Those on
display in Mr.. Jewetts collection In
Pendleton were found in Clackamas
and are the dark color of the rocks
there.
The animal which is about five in
ches in length, is found in the higher
mountains above the timber line,
They are of the arctic alpine zone.

they arc American citizens.

the white who looks with displcasure

No, not even scintila of Bolshevism has
moved the negro to retaliation in Washing

the listlessness of the large employers of
negro labor. And finally, for the last two
years large number of my people have been
ordered to hold their heads up and walk
erect, and it is probably difficult now for them
to forget such training. An amicable, equi-

ton is the area lying between the Rocky
Mountains and the Alleghanies and the
Gulf of Mexico and the Canadian border.
While certain sections of that area
have won the unenviable designation of
"cyclone states," the Weather Bureau
asserts that this species of storm is just
as likely to happen in one part of the
Mississippi Valley as another.
But, while the tornado might range up
ard down this valley at will, there was no
chance for it to make its escape there
from, it was believed. The peculiar con-
fguration of the central part of the
United States was given credit for this
condition. This great valley is walled on
either side by high mountains, but
ley in the spring and early summer pour

damp winds of the Gulf Bound in by
the mountain walls on either hand, these
winds must inevitably meet, and when
they do under the right conditions there
results one of those "twisters' usually
so destructive Of life and property.
These twisters move always from the
southwest to the northeast with for
ward movement from seventy to eighty
miles an hour and rotary movement so
rapid that no instrument has ever been
able to record it. The Long Island storm
violated one fundamental principle in
that it came out Of the northwest. 1t is
just possible, of course, that "Kansas

might lose it's sense of direction, but

The Kentish Cockney
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: With reference to your article in
Saturdays issue in connection with the
birthplace and accent of II. G. Wells, the
fact of his being born in Kent is really
the explanation of the matter.
A large majority Of people born in
Kent have more or less sounds in their
pronouncy'tion which arc likely to be
designated as "cockney." The reason is
that the accent OF these parts was af-
fected by the same influence which helped
to produce the cockney accent in London,
j. G., the invasion of the French many
years ago, who settled in parts of Kent
and London, emitting to sound the English

TH negro in Chicago is no Bolshevist

The charge of Bolshevism among my people

negroes who lean toward Socialism and Red
doctrines know in their heart OF hearts that
the race has more to gain by fighting for
