As applied to wind , says a writer in the Portland Oregonian , tbo word Chinook ' was local and hud Its origin at Astoria long before the inland em pire was known to uny but the adven turous trapper Chinook village was at Chinook point ab6ut seven miles northwest of Astoria The northwest summer wind which prevails nil along the North Paaifio coast during the summer - mor months , falls upon Astoria in a di rect line from Chinook point , hence the Hudson Bay people at Astoria , and Into whose hands Astoiia had fallen , grow into the habit of calling the cool sum mer wind from the northwest a Chi nopk wind , " simplv because it came di rectly from Chinook Point Chinook was at ono time an important place to Astoria , us McDougall , her head man , married the Chinoolc princess , the daughter of tbo cunning old Concomly Later on the Hudson Bay company es- ' tnblishod a trading post at Vancou vor , now in Claris county , Washington , and they called the cool summer wind a Chinookor , having learned it in their intercourse with tha Astorians This is the correct origin of the word ns applied to the wind I have it direct from Major Birnio , the old Hudson Bay man , " who lived at Astoria eighty years ngo and who afterwards removed to Oathlamot , where ho died So the real Chinook wind is the cool northwest summer wind , and not the 1 warm south wind that sometimes , und often in winter , rolls up from the south , and , taking the northeasterly course of 1 the great Columbia valley , swpops with its warm breath the snow from the 1 boundless plains of tha inland empire ' and breaks up the icy fetters of her riv- er6.
