number of times, psrhaps several
douu altogether. I have heard a near
whistling sound which the Indians
have always told me is the sound of
Um rabbit.
to The sound is nearly a whistle, but
slight iy vocalized. A slight approxi
mation to it may be made by a com
mon whistle through ths lips, wasting
much unused breath through both
lips arid nose.
it is some years since I heard It
last: but as I recall, the sound is made
at interTals of perhaps two or three
seconds for perhaps a half dozen
times, then a wait for a time before
the series is repeated I have never
noted it except in the woods, in the
early part of the night but well after
dark, and always at a distance. The
series of sounds have sometimes been
1 repeated at intervals for two or three
hours. I think.
My Indian informants were familiar
with all the wild life of the region,
and would be unlikely to be mistaken
to the bird or mammal making the

Mr A W. C.,)b,

I ear Sir:
I have just found time to reply to

were not brewed by the whims I
and caprices of whimsical nature, 5
but that all the rabbits of tK "
Columbia River Basin gathered J
at some point in Wasco counrjy I
for a potlatch That in the J
evening they united for a whistle 1
concert and hence the winds
along the upper reaches of the
House Bill No lirj. 1 hope in the
near future to see such trsaty ar
rangement tietween this country and
Japan that Japanese will not be per
mitted to come here in numbers.
All that House Kill 1 02 can do is to
prevent such people from acquiring
land in Oregon. At t lie time of vot
ing on this matter 1 had liefore me s
telegram of Senator MeNary's as fol

that the states concerned should take
no action that might lead to govern
mental embarrassment in the eooaid-
ration of this important subject

driven out. I have lived here
for twenty years and in all that
time I have never known as lit

year. It may be that nature
has been kind to us and again
that the rabbit has failed to
