Then the old man said thus: "(I doubt whether we) shall accomplish anything. We will return. Maybe a bad bear has taken away this my child." So they returned, and came back into the house. "I give up my child," (said the old man.) (Let us) now (turn to) the man who was seized (by the bear)? They' two, the man who was seized and his wife, had already lain down (together). "Your mind will never be the same, it will become different." (Thus said his wife.) (After a while) they two had children. And that is why it is 'said of the bear, that he is half human.

Excerpt from Lower Umpqua d104s and Notes on the Kusan Dialects The vocabulary at the end of this volume, does not by any means contain all stems and expressions that were ever used by the Lower Umpqua Indians; although it embodies, besides the stems found in the texts, such additional material as was obtained through colloquial intercourse with the informants. The alphabetical order in which these stems are arranged was suggested by Professor Franz Boas, to whom the author is greatly indebted in many ways. The numerals that follow each stem refer to page and line Of this volume. A full sketch of the Lower Umpqua language, based chiefly upon these texts is being published by the Bureau Of American Ethnology.
