 The following clipping from the; Montreal (i<(z<tte 
 of 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'ing 
 partly Chinook, partly Nootka, partly French, j^artly 
 Knglish, and partly the result oionomatoiMuia. Dur- 
 ing the early intercourse v)f Europeans with the West 
 coast. Nootka was the emporium"of the traltic, and 
 the Indians gradually picked uj) from the sailors 
 some English words. Ijatcir on, when traders be- 
 gjiii to frequent th«; ('olumbia River, they used the 
 words learned at No«)tka, and in this way the Chi- 
 nooks, always »^uick in cat<^hing sounds, added 
 Xootka and English words to tht^r own vocalnilary. 
 As early as IStH a lin(m<i fnoicn had thus (rome into 
 use 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 of 
 authority, first visit«Hl the coast, it consisted of about 
 DfiO words. Of thes«> 18 were of Xootka origin, 41 of 
 English S(mrce, while 84 w^^re French and 111 formed 
 the Chinook substratum. That was more than fifty 
 years ago. In 18(W, when the Smlth.sonian Institu- 
 tion published its dictionary of the language, the 
 number of words had grown to 5<)(). Of the.se 221 
 were considered Chinook, 94 French, ()7 English, 
 while the Salish or Flathead Indians are cnnlited 
 with 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-Canadian 
 lia.Htonndifi.) A man 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 Chinook 
 origin. Turn-turn is a sound word for heart (from 
 the pulsation), and Im used for will, purpost*, desire. 
 Lip-lip (to l.oil) is another .such word, imitating 
 boiling 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), and 
 can ];e iisrd witli any noun to indicate (n'cry kind of 
 operation or proceed inj»:, Illn her (ground) is also 
 used 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, and 
 other 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 with 
 other words to indicate a larger animal, (4c., resi*m- 
 bling a smaller one, as jxiss-ftuss, or nis/i-jn'.s/i (a 
 cat), /ii/<(s ]n(,ss-r)i(.ss {n ])iinthvv). The Aootka pttf- 
 latch (gift) is also largely use-l l)f)th an noun and 
 verb." 
 
 The following Chinook vocal)ulary »« as completi' 
 as it is necessary to have it for the rapid learning of 
 the Chinook Jargon. A few words an* omitted hi5- 
 cause tluy are of very rare occur. .Mice, and would 
 make an unnecessiiiy burdtui for th(^ memoiy. The 
 more on(^ confines himself to the words in this 
 vocabiilary for expressing his idt^as, the purer his 
 Chinook will be. VVhenever the Chinook vocabu- 
 lary is not sullicient to express oiu^ idea, an English 
 word must be ustnl — the simplest and most common 
 that can be found. A .short way to master this 
 vocabulary is to read it over, and rei)eat eveiy word 
 of it on(;e a day for a week or so, or, better still, read 
 it over every evening l)efore retiring, and again the 
 llrst thing in the morning, until Well mastered. If 
 that reading is made wuth proper attention, three or 
 four 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 the 
 consonants 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 uniformly 
 AsioHows: "a," as ir ^'fat";

 1. The word ^/oo.v is used ms an imperative form: 
 tUnts i}<iik<t khifird — let me go; tloos /noika chuko — 
 pray come; Hons iaka mithtit — let him stj.y, etc.

 here it means, only, nothing else but; htprt c/iok pi 
 pooUtklc — only water, etc. 
 
 6. Chdko is a wonderful word in Chinook. It 
 helps to give a huntired different meanings to

 chako tniur.s or chnko man or chako kopa clche — to

 7. //*', iht^ or ihty pi iht^ pi iht, mean.s a few. 
 
 8. y{cmU}Os means dead. There is no W(;rd in 
 i^'hinook to signify "death."' When spesaking of 
 ''death," the .sentence must always be turned in 
 such a way as to bring in the participle " dead." At 
 the hour of death — " When will come the day to be 
 dead."' 
 
 9. Some of the word« have a curious origin. For 
 an instance, the word inash — to throw away — is 
 nothing else than the French wortl inarche, va-t-eu 
 — "go your way" — very ext4?nsively uiied for di.s- 
 mitsing people in the old. Hudson's Bay times.

 Knjflish pronunciation of that name, the Indians
