Chinook, which was adopt
ed by the Hudson Bay Co.
for the purpose of commun
icating with the Indian tri
bes of the north, is easily
learned, having about 400
or 500 words, which may
be used in a combination of
j syllables. As each tribe
has its own dialect, it was
impossible for the trader to
, learn them all. hence Chi
nook was adopted. Eskimo
is one of the hardest of the
northern languages t o
learn, as it is composed of
many guttural vowels and
words, and many words
mean the same thing, ow
ing to the inflection placed
upon them.
In “Any Week” in Coll
ier’s magazine we read the
following: “Here is John
W. Larrimore of Nogales,
Arizona, with the discrim
ination that he does not
discriminate between the
two terms ‘desert rat’ and
‘sourdough.’ The sour
dough,' he says, came into
existence in the Alaska
gold rush. The desert rat
spends 90 per cent of his
time hunting for his bur
ros. The rest of his time
he is hunting for firewood
to cook his bacon and beans
with. The sourdough, he
says, spends 90 per cent of
his time trying to keep
warm. The rest of his time
is taken up in rustling grub
to eat.’ ”
