The following clipping from the; Montreal (i<(z<tteof Nov. 2t»th, ISiM, will niHke a convenient introduc-tion to this little pamphlet:—"The 'Chinook .Targon,' or Oregon Trade lan-

guage, is a curiously composite form of siH'ech, lu'ingpartly Chinook, partly Nootka, partly French, j^artlyKnglish, and partly the result oionomatoiMuia. Dur-ing the early intercourse v)f Europeans with the Westcoast. Nootka was the emporium"of the traltic, andthe Indians gradually picked uj) from the sailorssome English words. Ijatcir on, when traders be-gjiii to frequent th«; ('olumbia River, they used thewords learned at No«)tka, and in this way the Chi-nooks, always »^uick in cat<^hing sounds, addedXootka and English words to tht^r own vocalnilary.As early as IStH a lin(m<i fnoicn had thus (rome intouse on the coast. The Nor'-West, Astor and Hud-son's Bay Companies servants, and the French voii-

(((jeiirs^ ai! contributed their share to the jargon.When Mr. Horatio Hale, whose manual is a work ofauthority, first visit«Hl the coast, it consisted of aboutDfiO words. Of thes«> 18 were of Xootka origin, 41 ofEnglish S(mrce, while 84 w^^re French and 111 formedthe Chinook substratum. That was more than fifty

years ago. In 18(W, when the Smlth.sonian Institu-tion published its dictionary of the language, thenumber of words had grown to 5<)(). Of the.se 221

were considered Chinook, 94 French, ()7 English,while the Salish or Flathead Indians are cnnlitedwith JJ9. The nationalities of their civili/ed visitors

were designated resjietjtively Pasiii (Franwiis); Kint-chossh (Ki"g George, whose meilals are known all

through the North-West, Ixiing tht» tyjx^ of an Eng-lishman), iind Boston (from the French-Canadianlia.Htonndifi.) Aman nanunl Pelton, going in.sane,

furnished a term for fool or madman. The ten i of

salutation— c/fr^-o/t-f//t-.vrrA-^used to be tracwl to th'*

visit of Clark, and his friends' enquiries after his

health, and their origin .satisfied Sir I), Wils(m. Mr.Hale, however, prefers to assign it to a Chinookorigin. Turn-turn is a sound word for heart (fromthe pulsation), and Im used for will, purpost*, desire.

Lip-lip (to l.oil) is another .such word, imitatingboiling water. Kole-Hick-ivdiim-sivk is the expres-sive jargon for fever and ague. Stik is used for tree

or anything made of v^rood. Hco her clearly denotes

13984'i

lau^chtcT, and is used for any kind of diversion. Om^of the connnont'st words is inamoo/c (to make), andcan ];e iisrd witli any noun to indicate (n'cry kind ofoperation or proceed inj»:, Illn her (ground) is alsoused in all sorts of ways, as Jtdsfint ifln/irt' (tht^

United States), ininidhnhsr iUahcr ^deatli j?round,cemetery), s(((/((fi Hhthct' (mountjiin, hijz:hlands).

All Ktronir li(|uors are called 7//m (rum). Ship, pray,t(Mi, sick, stone, sing, nose, soap, mama, i)a])a, andother words, are good Chinook as well as good Kng-li.sh. The French words adopted have mostly under-gone some change, as }H(ih,siv, (merci)i mnfir/t (^mar-ier), j)^' (puis) used for 'and,' lanwsfi)) (la medicine,etc. Th(^ Xootka word /if/(if< (great) is u.sml withother words to indicate a larger animal, (4c., resi*m-

bling a smaller one, as jxiss-ftuss, or nis/i-jn'.s/i (acat), /ii/<(s ]n(,ss-r)i(.ss {n ])iinthvv). The Aootka pttf-

latch (gift) is also largely use-l l)f)th an noun andverb."The following Chinook vocal)ulary »« as completi'

as it is necessary to have it for the rapid learning ofthe Chinook Jargon. A few words an* omitted hi5-

cause tluy are of very rare occur. .Mice, and wouldmake an unnecessiiiy burdtui for th(^ memoiy. Themore on(^ confines himself to the words in thisvocabiilary for expressing his idt^as, the purer hisChinook will be. VVhenever the Chinook vocabu-lary is not sullicient to express oiu^ idea, an Englishword must be ustnl—the simplest and most commonthat can be found. A .short way to master thisvocabulary is to read it over, and rei)eat eveiy wordof it on(;e a day for a week or so, or, better still, readit over every evening l)efore retiring, and again thellrst thing in the morning, until Well mastered. If

that reading is made wuth proper attention, three orfour days will be sufficient for most people.The aiwstrophe in e^ich word of the following vo-

C4ibiilai*y denotes the accented syllable. The pro-nunciation is the Latin pronunciytion, in which theconsonants sound the sfime as in liinglish. When-ever the '*

j" or *' ch " occur they are S(mnded as in

English, but the vowels must l>e sounded uniformlyAsioHows: "a," as ir ^'fat"; as in "met"e "

*'i," as in "flir'; "o," as in "no"; "oo," as in^ ''*""•!." The vowelgood." The vowel "u" is to be sounded as in

The consonat "h" has a stronply gutturalwound wherever it appears, except in connection with
