BIBLIOGRAPHi^ OF THE 



Boas (F.) — Continued. 



tLe Clatsop have adopted the Neheliin. The, 

 ouly one.s who si>okt' Chinook were Joseph 

 Cultce and Katharine. While I was nuahle to 

 ohtain anything from the latter, Cultee proved 

 to he a veritable storehouse of information. His 

 wife is a Chihalis and he speaks now-a-days 

 exclusively Chihalis, which is also the language 

 of his cliildrcn. He has lived for a long time 

 in Katlamat. hi.s mother's town, and speaks for 

 this reason the Katlamat dialect as well as the 

 Chinook dialect. He uses tliis dialect in con- 

 versing witli Samson, a Katlamat Indian, who 

 is also located at J5ay Center. Until a few 

 years ago lie spoke Cliinocdi with one of his 

 relations, while he uses it now only when con- 

 versing witli Katharine, who lives a few miles 

 from Bay Center. 



Possibly tliis Chinook is to a certain extent 

 mixed with Katlamat expressions, hut from a 

 close study of the material I have reached the 

 conclusion tliat it is. on the whole, pure and 

 trustworthy. 



1 have also obtained from Cultee a series of 

 Kallamal (exts, whicli I believe are not quite 

 as good as the Chinook test, but nevertheless 

 give a good insight into the dift'erencet of the 

 two dialects. It may he possibl.! to obtain 

 material on this dialect from other sources. 



My work of translating and explaining the 

 texts was greatly facilitated by Cnltee's remark- 

 able intelligence. After he had once grasped 

 what I wanted he explained to me the gram- 

 matical structure of the sentences by means of 

 examples and (Oucidated the sense of difhcult 

 periods. This work was tlie more ditiicult as 

 we cou\er.-^ed only by means of the Chinook 

 Jargon. 



The following jiages contain nothing Imt the 

 texts with notes and translations. The grara- 

 marand dictionary of the language will contain 

 acompari.son of all the dialectsof the Chinookan 

 stock. I have translated the first two texts 

 almost verbatim, while in the latter texts I only- 

 endeavored to render the sense accurately, for 

 which purposes short sentences have been 

 inserted, others omitted.
