The dictionary contains probably 6,000 words. 



Concerning the second part of this work, 

 Father Saintonge writes me, under date of 

 January 24, 1893, as follows : 



" I am not now working at my dictionary 

 (second part) because I am not well enough, but 

 I intend to finish it as soon as I can. Ic.nn not 

 have it published now because I have uot the 

 means for that purpose. You may say it is 

 intended for publication some time in the 

 future. The second part will not be so volu- 

 minous as the lirst; the list of words will not 

 be so great, but the definitions will take greater 

 space, as I shall give the etymology and source 

 from which each Jargon word comes."

" The subject of this sketch, the Kev. Louis 

 N. St. Onge, of St. Alphonse de Liguori jiarish, 

 was born [in the village of St. Ceaaire] a few 

 miles .south of Montreal, Canada, April 14, 1842. 

 He finished his classical course when yet very 

 young, after which ho studied law for two 

 years. Feeling called to another field, ho gave 

 up this career in order to prepare himself to 

 work for God's glory as an Indian missionary 

 in the diocese of Nesqually, Washington Terri- 

 tory. 



"A year and a half before liis ordination, 

 Right Rev. A. M. Blanchet, his bishop, ordered 

 him to Vancouver, W. T., where he was occu- 

 pied as a professor of natural philosophy, 

 astronomy, and other branches in tlie Holy 

 Angel's College. All his spare time was con.se- 

 crated to the study of the Indian languages, in 

 which he is to-day one of the most expert, so 

 that he was ready to go on active missionary 

 work Hi soon as ordained. 



" The first years of his missionary life were 

 occupied in visiting different tribes of Indians 

 and doing other missionary work in the Terri- 

 tories of Washington, Idaho, Montana, and 

 other Rocky Mountain districts, among Indiana 

 and miners. After such labors he was then 

 appointed to take charge of the Yakamas, 

 Klikitats, Winatchas, Wishrams, Pshwanwa- 

 pams, Narchez, and other Indian tribes inhab- 

 iting the central part of Washington Territory.
