SECRET LANGUAGE.
The Jargon That Children Make Up
to Convey Their MOmentous Sc
crets Among Themselves.

The secret language period is thing
of child nature. There are three dis
tinct periods in language learning by
She child. The first is the acquiring OF
the mother tongue. The second period
comes shortly after the time of begin
ming to learn the mother tongue, and is
a language made up by children who,
perhaps, find themselves unable 10 mas
ter the mother tongue. Very few chill
dren have complete language of this
kind, but all children have few words
OF such. Then comes the secret Ian
guage period. Although in very few
cases the learning of secret languages
began about the sixth year, and in some
instances the period ran till after the
eighteenth year, yet the vast majority
of cases are covered by the period be-
tween the eighth and the fifteenth year,
while the greatest use is between the
tenth and the thirteenth year.
There are many reasons why children
learn and use these languages. One
lady confesses that she originated a lam
guage, and introduced it into mys-
FERROUS set of ten, i'm order TO write
notes in school; and she truly adds that
had their teachers discovered the key,
they would have learned many truths.
1t can never be known whether these
languages originated in the very first
cases with children. The names would
in many instances imply that children
had to do with them, as they show
things familiar to the child and loved

DYING PACIFIC PEOPLES.
An Investigation of the Causes OF
Their Disappearance Is Now
In Progress.

II has been known for years that the
native population of the beautiful
Polynesian islands is growing smaller
and that the day is not far distant when
the aborigines will become extinct, as is
already the case in Tasmania. Mr.. x.
Mailer has been making an exhaustive
study of the causes that are blotting
these peoples out of existence and has
printed his youminous memoir in the
"Internationales Archiv fur Ethnog-
raphie."
He says that even at the time when
Europeans began to visit the islands
comparatively few of them were inhab-
tied. This fact was partly due TO their
isolation from other lands and partly
to natural phenomena unfavorable to
human life, such as hurricanes, volcanic
eruptions, drought and other causes
that tended to eXterminte or drive out
the natives. The number of islands,
however, which had never been visited
| by human beings was very small. But
since the white race appeared among
the Polynesian groups the number OF
inhabited islands has greatly dimin-
| ished. Some of the islands have lost all
their native population, while in others
only feeble remnant remains OF The
large numbers who formerly lived on
| them.
Mr.. Mailer gives the following as the
chief reasons for this denominations: In
the first place contagious naladies in
troduced by the whites have destroyed
large numbers of the natives Then
spirituous liquors have been introduced
in many islands regardless of the con-
sequences to the natives. and the drink
habit has claimed many victims. Then
the wars that have been waged by the
natives against the whites or with one
another have been made far more de-
structive bv the Introduction of fire.

THE HERALD has changed its plans

and the mining districts tributary. The
expense of getting out this fine piece of
work would be not less than 5000. and
The HERALD felt that to issue the book

INTERSTATE ACTION NEEDED.

1t is the province of newspaper to To-
Gus public attention, upon occasion, so
that the public needs nav be conserved
by united action.
Meetings of sheepmen are being held
throughout eastern Oregon to protest
against the extraordinary action OF Sec.
rotary Hitchcock in excluding sheep from
the mountain ranges. Meanwhile, in
defiance of public sentiment and in fla.
grant disregard OF the interests OF it's
constituency, the Portland Oregonian
continues to thunder it's anathemas
against the unoffending sheep industry.
Colonel Scott last Saturday, writing evil

not always be riied of her treasures with
impunity. and that there is always AM
pie evidence that the country has ne.
elected too long the matter OF preserv-
ing her forests for their own sake and for
the sake of their influence on the climate
ana fertility Oh me SOL.
Colonel Scott, who probably never
climbed hill in his life higher than the
tanks OF the Willamette, knows much
less of conditions in the high ranges of
the Cascades than the average sheep
herder, He certainly knows less OF this
subject than James Wthycombe of Cor
all ~ hn
growers Association. In letter to the
recent convention of the sheepmen at
The Dalles he stated that his sympathies
were with the sheepmen and stated that
the removal OF the sheep from the forest
reserve would increase the danger of
forest fires. He fatty denied that the
sheep injured Young trees or any variety
of cone bearing trees, either young or
old.
In view of the supreme Importance Of
immediate and unified action, the sheep
men of eastern Oregon and Washington
should meet in North Yakima, the most
accessible place for all, and the home of
a congressman, and invite the senators
and congressman of both states here
prior to going to Washington City, to de-.

SHALL WE GET THE TRADE!

There is warning note in what
People Say" coming from a highly re-
spected, sagacious and conservative bust
ness man. John Sawbridge, who has
probably done as much as any one to de-
velop the Gold Hill mining camp, points
out that Yakima is in danger of losing
the trade of Gold Hill when the camp is
developed by capital, which seems to be
upon the eve of investing there. A road
should be finished into the camp from
this side sufficient to enable teams to
safely and conveniently convey the pro-
duct OF the mines to the Northern Pacific
railway and to supply the mining camp
with provisions and other necessaries
The mines of Gold Hill are naturally
tributary to this city. Reliable expert
testimony goes to show there is nothing
richer in :he wsy of valuable minerals
tributary to Spokane; aud yet it is from
the mines that Spokane draws its great
est sustenance as a city. TO allow Buck
ley and Tacoma by commercial strategy
TO defect the trade OF Gold Hill from
Yakima, where it naturally belongs,
would he stupid and inexcusabie folly.
