The Word ssiwash.5

AFFORD. April -. 1895.
To The Editor: In the weekly issue of
your paper of April . YOU say in reply
to III. c. S. that the word "siwash" is de-
rived from the French savage" / know
this is the popular theory. which / first
heard more than thirty years ago. and
which Is accepted by Rev. NJ. Eells. a
very good authority generally, but Il is
entirely wrong. The word Is pure Indian
and the one used by the Wasco Indians.
and probably by the Klickitats. both of
which tribes originally ranged along the
Columbia river from the Cascades to The
Dalles. and whose languages are nearly
IDENTICAL, to designate a human as distin-
guished from an animal or other cred ture.
Probably people is the nearest word
in English for IL. After the coming OF
the whites among them they adopted the
names "Bostons," king George" Pas
steuks" F'renche. etc, retaining the word
''siwash" for application exclusively 10
Indians. While undoubtedly the Chinook
jargon was more or less OF a growth, yet
/ have been told by the Wasco Indians
that the language was perfected and first
written down by the Catholic priests at
The Dalles, and they appear to have
drawn quite freely from the Wasco Ian
guage In doing so. The numerals are
slightly changed. but easily recogniza bic.
as for instance, ihte. wohtix, clouix,
locketz, etc. and many other words ap-
pear. some unchanged. athers slightly, but
as In the case of the numerals, easily rec
ogniZed. Such as mika, mika, meshika
alhkie, kwanisum. and probably 10 per
cent. of the common words of the lAn-
guage are OF that derivation. To what ex-
tent other Indian languages have contri-
buted /. OF course. have no knowledge.
but IL seems reasonable 10 suppose that
many other native words were used. The
Chinook shows plainly enough the use OF
French that was made, and the error un-

In philology may be as wide of the mark
as some other forms of higher criticism,
so-called, which are based on just such
premises. Yours respectfully.

The Jury in the Oscar Wilde case has
disagreed. The VIGOROUSLY bad character
OF the witnesses might well make jury
hesitate to convict me accused; but the
judges refusal to admit Wilde TO bail
pending a new trial indicates his own
view OF the testimony. Wilde may not be
guilty OF all he is charged with, but he
has shown such evidence OF general
"damphoolishness' as TO justify his being
sent TO a home for the feeble-minded.

THREE MEN WERE BURNED
Fearful Record of a Fire in
Freid'S Paint Works at
PittSburg.
Barrels of Oil Exploded Like Car
tridgeS and There Was No
ESpape.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Sept. 21.-Three men
burned to death is the fearful record of a
fire this evening in the paint works of w.
K Freid, 95 Main street, Allegheny. The
names of the dead are: Henry Turner
(English), teamster, aged 65 years, married,
251 River avenue, Allegheny; Joseph
Lastavie (Austrian), aged q years, single
a man believed to be George Huff, laborer,
aged 80 years, single.
The fatalities are the result of explosions
of barrels of oil in the paint works, which
caught the men unawares. Huff was dead
when taken from the ruins of the building.
The other men lived but few moments
after their rescue. The fire was caused by
the boiling over of caldron of oil. This
ignited with flash and quickly set fire to
the barrels of oil, which exploded like
cartridges, scattering the flames in all
directions. Every man in the workroom
was sacrificed.
The plant is known as the Atlas Paint
Works and was three stories high, occu-
pied sixty feet front on Main street and
sixty feet back on Carpenter alley. The
western part of the building was occupied
by Lutz Bros. manufacturers of iellies and
preserves. The loss on the building is $780,
600. insurance $4,000. The loss on the
paint stock is $4,000. Lutz Bros valued
their stock at $25, 900, which was damaged
probably one-half and is fully insured.

WAS AN OLD STACE-DR|VER
Death Of Horace D. WOICott,
Who Had a Rem arkabIe
Career.
From an Early Age He Held the
Ribbons From New York to
California and Mexico.

CHICAGO, ILL, Sept. 21.-Horace D.
Wolcott died last nigh. at 3S5 Orchard
street at the age of 70. He had lived in
Chicago for fifty years. Mr.. Wolcott from
the age of Is drove stages in all parts of
the country, from New York to California,
and even down in Mexico. He began his
career as stage-driver in the employ OF
John Frink, the first man to own stage
line in Chicago.
Previous to this he rode on the first trip
of the "John Bull train, distance of
sixteen miles, in New York State in 1881.
From 1887 to 1S40 he worked for Frink, and
cast his first vote in 1910 for William Henry
Harrison. The next year he went to Bal
timCre, reaching the city in time to drive
the stage in which the new President rode
that city to Washington for his inaugura-
ton. Mr.. Wolcott was fond of telling how in
1916 John c. Fargo, founder of the Wells
Fargo Express Company, was one of his
frequent passengers, and how he always
carried with him leather bag, which con-
tanned ali the "express" then transported
by the Fargo company.
In 1916 Wolcott went down into Mexico,
where he drove a stage among the noun
tains until the Mexican war broke out two
years later, when he was forced to take up
his residence in the City of Mexico until it
was captured by General Scott in 1S4S.

critical period her citizens will only avail
themselves of the grand opportunity of
securing this competing road"
The speaker stated that he had heard it
argued that the new road could not afford
to go by Fresno Said he:
profit by the experience of Visalia in
early days. When the Southern Pacific
built through this valley Visalia's wise
statesmen refused to raise bonus in the
belief that the railroad could not afford to
pass by the town. What was the result !?
The road did pass by, and to this day Visa
liza has remained a small country town. "
Judge Harris closed his speech amid
vigorous applause.
W. w. Phillips, Democratic candidate
for Railroad Commissioner at the last
election, was the next speaker. Mr. Phil
lips made O telling speech, pointing out
that the new road was conceived in the
idea of rescuing the people from the
clutches OF the Southern Pacific. The
speaker said that the funds which are
being raised are not for bonus to the
railroad people, but to be expended at
home in securing rights OF way and depot
sites.
E. D. Edwards followed in a clear pre-
sentation of the matter at issue and the
duties of the citizens of Fresno.
After the meeting number of citizens
came forward and made liberal subscrip-
tions. The amount remaining to be raised
is about $4,000. The meeting was a grand
