Il am ignorant OF how Chemawa
was named. but always had the impress
sion that il was a msSpelling Of the
two words che wawa. The Chinook
jargon was spoken different in differ
ent tribes. and very often foreign
words would creep into it from the
English and Indian languages where
il was used The common expression
for good talk would be close wawa,'
but the words che wawa' were often
used in somewhat the same sense but
meaning perhaps more particularly
true talk so that che wawa would in
some places where have heard the jar
gon used mean good talk or perfectly
true talk
as illustrating this use Of local
words in the Chinook iargon Tacoma
was often used 10y The Indians near
Puget sound as meaning white noun

pointed out Mount Baker to- me a.

and aS this was very likely done occa-
Sionally with Mount Rainier the idea
