BIBLIOGKAPHY OF THE 



Gill (J. K.) — Continued. 



and published in 1846 in my volume of the TJ. 

 S. Exploring Expedition series. These were 

 supplemented by later information obtained 

 from the excellent dictionary of George Gibbs 

 and from the letters and publications of Mr. 

 Eells and Dr. Boas. I should have preferred to 

 retain the ' scientific orthography' (consonants 

 as in English, vowels as in Italian) which was 

 adopted in my former work ; but as the Jargon 

 has now become, through its use by the mis- 

 sionaries and other.s, a written language with 

 the English orthography, it seemed proper to 

 adopt that spelling, merely adding the scien- 

 tific forms in parentheses as a guide to the pro- 

 nunciation. 



"The word meaning out, which Mr. Gill 

 spells I'lahane (dividing it in his dictionary, I 

 presume, to show that it is a trisyllable) is 

 written by Mr. Eells in his sermon printed in 

 my Jargon volume (p. 32) klahanie {klahanie 

 l-opa town, outof town), and by Mr. Gibbs, Hah- 

 hanie, or klagh-anie, with the accent affixed to 

 the last syllable. The Jargon has several tri- 

 syllables of this sort, such as saghalie or sah- 

 halie, above, keekwilee, below, illahie, earth, 

 which are variously written, and are accented 

 iuditt'erentlyon tlie first or on the Last syllable. 



"In Mr. Gill's suggestion that 'Chinook 

 existed as an intertribal language prior to the 

 necessity of the use of the trapper and trader,' 

 he evidently confounds, as many do, the proper 

 Chinook language with the Jargon, or artificial 

 trade language. The Indians of Oregon terri- 

 tory were quick in learning languages, and 

 some of them could speak five or six native 

 idioms. The genuine Chinook, being spoken 

 by a tribe holding a central position along the 

 Columbia River, and much given to trade, would 

 naturally be known to niany natives of other 

 tribes, and would be frequently spoken in inter- 

 tribal intercourse, like the Chippewa among 

 the eastern Indians and the Malay in the East 

 Indian Archipelago. This was doubtless what 

 was meant by Mr. Gill's aged native informant 

 in referring to the Chinook as the common 

 medium of intercourse before the white traders 

 visited the country. That he could have 

 referred to the Jargon is simply impossible, as 

 the internal evidence of its structure suffi- 

 ciently shows. 



"Both philology and ethnography are much 

 indebted to the thoughtful labors of intelligent 

 inquirers like Mr. Gill in preserving these inter- 

 esting relics of vanishing idioms and aboriginal 

 customs. I ought, perhaps, to add that though 

 the use of the Jargon is dying out, for the rea- 

 son which Mr. Gill so pithily gives, in the 

 country of its origin — the Pacific coast region 

 south of Puget Sound — it is extending in 

 British Columbia and Alaska, and seems 

 likely to do good service there for many years 

 to come."
