Tom scrutinized the man more
carefully; he pronounced his SIS like
an Oriental, with a soft, sibilant
hiss, yet he didn't look like either
a Chinese or japanese. True, he
had the thick. straight black hair
of the Jap, but his eyes looked en-
tirely Occidental. Tom wondered
about the color of his skin; perhaps
what had appeared at first an un-
healthy sallowness was really a
characteristic of the mans race.

Scott wrote the above paragraph in
1909, and since that time chinook
has found its way into the vernacular
of all parts of the United States and
even to English speaking countries OF
other continents. 1t has found its way
into the curious lexicon of modern
undergraduates, with whom the phrase.
We'll. are you waiting for chinook?'
Is common.
The scientific designation of a Chi
nook wind Is 'F'oehn wind There is
some question as to where the use OF
, chinook originated. The writer OF
an article on the chinook which APP
peared in the yearbook of the depart
ment Of agriculture for 1901 wrote. in
part:
Three Kinds of Chinooks
AT the present time there are three
winds called chinook. Each of them
is essentially warm wind, whose eff
feet is most noticeable in winter. IN
der their influence the snow is melted
with astonishing rapidly and the
weather becomes balmy and springlike

mouth Of the Columbia river. 1t was
first applied to a warm southwest wind

general use in that locality. and as adj
jacent country was settled the usage
was extended so that now Chinook is
applied not only to warm, moist south
west winds of the Oregon and Wash
ington coast, but to warm descending
winds east of the Rocky mountains
in Montana and elsewhere 1t occurs
most frequently in Washington. Ore
gon, Montana. Wyoming. Idaho and
the DakotaS. in the United States. and
in the region Immediately north Of
these states in the British possessions I"
On rare occasions the chinook winds
are felt as far east as Wisconsin and
Minnesota
T. c. Elliot, Washington historical
writer. says:
within our own country Montana
may be cited as the real home Of the
chinook or Foehn winds. In Montana
the weather bureau at Havre Is quoted
as being the most freakiSh station in
the service. The town OF Chinook, near
Havre, was so named by man con-
nected with the construction Of the
Great Northern railroad because Of the
prevalence OF the wind there. There
are many remarkable records Of the
wind In that vicinity"
Elliot says the word Chinook" in
relation to winds was probably carried
by traders from the Pacific coast who
established stores in Fort Benton and
at other points In the years when
steamboat traffic on the upper river
was good. Government surveyors who

These ancient letters are the prop

The chief points of interest about
my father'S letters, as l see it." he
states, are their age, the absence of
postage stamps, the absence of enve-

which they sealed their letters" His

died IN 1900. He was an expert with
vegetables, fruits and flowers. w B.
