M V X v V BY GEORGE D. THOMISON. HOOD RIVER, Or.. Feb. S. (Spe cial.) A feeble link In the chain of time, a nondescript old man to the curious, but withal a relic and a re minder of days' when the redman, un restrained, took salmon from Its streams and hunted the deer of the great North west, Indian George Chinadere Is a familiar figure on the streets of Hood Klver. Everybody knows George, and every body, man, woman and child, greets him. and George replies in his gutteral. Chinook jargon. The old patriarch is pointed out to visitors, and no -Email number of stories, pure fiction, have originated from the imaginings of lo cal . dreamers, and in some of them George has played the part of a bolrt runner, an Indian hero who traversed wldo distances to warn early settle ments and prevent the massacre of white friends by his fellow braves, while in other yarns George, himselr. Is pictured as having wielded with the blood lust a vigorous scalping knife. George never did either. It is likely that tire nearest real warfare he ever saw was in 1856. when the Kllckitats made war on the whites, drove settlers from the north side of the Columbia and perpetrated the historic massacre of the Cascades. Age of Indian Is Mystery. The age of Indian George Chinadere is not known. George himself does not know. Some say that he has passed the 95 mark, while others declare that he cannot be more than 80. No correct estimate can be made from a study of his face. For 10 years It has been the same seamed, leathery visage, for all the world like the upper of an old discarded russet boot. One eye is almost vlslonless, and the lid has drooped shut. The other flares with a hidden spark when George talks of the good old times of long ago, as all old men and women like to do, when Nature was more generous and when his body was supple and strong enough to arouse admiration. George was born, according to old settlers, at The Dalles, but when he was still a child, his parents removed to the Dog River tribal encampment, now the environ of Hood River. The father was a Nez Perce, while his moth er was a Wasco. George was not more than eight or nine years old. if his pres ent aire is 80. when the first perma nent settlement 'of white people was made here by the family of Nathaniel Coe. Other frontier families soon fol lowed, and the little handful of local Indians became servants of the pio neers, the women, laundresses and housesrlrla. and .the men field hands. Thus George was never a warrior bold. Farecaata Made to Salt Individual. But the old man today has won two distinct achievements. He has become known as Hood River's most astute and consummate beggar and a weather prophet in disrepute. His white friends rather than the Indian, himself, should be blamed for the latter notoriety. George is an adept at answering leading questions, and it Is likely that a keen- Interviewer might make him predict a Winter as balmy as Spring time within an hour after some other had elicited the information that a snow two squaws deep would soon be piling up in the canyons of the mid-Columbia, Through this process George was made to predict last Summer as lacking the season of . usual warmth, and It is de clared that he foretold the abnormal snowfall of last Winter. Last Fall George was again called on to announce his prognostications. Some hunter had Just killed an alleged fat bear, and the aged Indian was asked if that did not again denote deep snow. Noses for news scented the trail and in less than a month Indiana in all mid-Columbia points had been made to. predict anoth er siege from the forces of old King Boreas. The ice blockades, however, have failed to materialize to any marked degree. But George's fame as a beggar re mains supreme. His tactics might form a study in diplomacy. He goes about his work with a grace, and he can ab stract a quarter of a dollar from the purses of Hood River folk with such skill that the donor is made to feel glad of the privilege of giving. The writer will never forget his In troduction to Indian George. He had been at work only a week, early in 1911, learning the Intricacies of small town newsgatherlng. on the Hood River Glacier, and waa one day engaged In transcribing his notes into readable copy for the, compositor when the old Indian shuffled in at the office door. "Stuckings" was the one word her emitted. From his inflection the word might have been a request or & ques tion. I accepted the latter version and reasoned that he wanted to see a man, named '"Stuckings." I told the old man that nobody by that name was at work there. Then he pronounced the one word again, and it was clearly meant that an interrogation point ended it. From my silence and the bewilder ment of my expression George perceived that I did not understand. He did not waste any words, but with a dirty fora finger of his right hand pointed to & protruded foot, and then I comprehend ed that he wanted stockings. Hoping to do the old man & service I explained that he was In a newspaper office, and went to the door to direct him to a drygoods store. It was then that he made an eloquent appeal to me for money with which to buy some "stuckings." I found myself searching for a quarter, and George soon pos sessed the coin. He pronounced eone benediction in Chinook and in word of most profound self-pity said, as he left me. "Hole in Indian George's stuck ings two years." When I told of the episode to some one X was reminded that Indian George would be a frequent caller, and the warning was true, for he soon reap peared, the next time to learn my name. And my credentials and get well ac quainted. He probably wished to put me on his permanent list of' benefac tors. Debts Are Always Paid. Tet with all of his begging. Georg has the reputation of always havlnz been scrupulously honest. In pioneer days David Parmenter. a West Side rancher, became a creditor of the In dian, having sold him hay for hi a horses. The indebtedness dragged alontr but George always said "Injun pay." and, true to his word, he appeared one day with a handsome buckskin, worth, far more than the provender, a cheap commodity of those days, and, throwing it down in front of the rancher, re fused to accept any change. Indian George might today be worth a snug little sum of money If he bad been thrifty. He was the recipient of an allotment of land at the Slmcoe' In dian reservation, and for many years he was regularly paid a neat remit tance, following the sale of the land. But George was liberal and gave freely of his gains to other Indians. It Is said that he still has a balance of $200 due from the Government, the money being; he' back for an indefinite period be cause of some governmental red tape. George today gets his life's necessi ties partly as a county charge and partly as being the ward of a number of pioneer families. He does not beg now as Indiscriminately from everyone as in former years, but limits Ms alms asking to old-time friends. . Mrs. Alma Howe, a pioneer of the val ley, today owner of Cottage Farm Sum mer resort, has probably been the best friends the mid-Columbia Indians ever had. For years George has made ' a weekly pilgrimage to ber place to seek advice, food and the gift of ' money. Mrs. Howe tells some amusing Inci dents connected with the visits of the old redman. Brother's Funeral Costa 30 Cents. "Several years ago," says Mrs. Howe, "George came to me at the beginning of Winter and asked me if I would take care of his herd of three ponies until Springtime. Thinking that the reply would rid me of .him, I told him that I had no one to look after the animals. 'Oh. that's all right." he said, 'George come and live with you and care for ponies.' " On another occasion George was suc cessful in borrowing 30 cents from Mrs. Howe. , On the next visit following the financial transaction his benefactor asked him how he had spent the money. "Oh, I bury my brother," he said. Mrs. Howe was skeptical, and, pressed for an explanation, George told her that he had spent 5 cents for nails and 25 cents for lumber. It was then that Mrs. Howe per suaded the old man to invest some of a land allotment remittance In the pur chase of a lot at Idlewilde cemetery. The old man is very proud of that plot of ground, before a great many moons to become his last resting-place. Re ligiously he keeps the sod cleaned of weeds. It is rather a pathetic sight to see the old. half-blind relic of aborig inal days as he kneels on his mema loose ground, perhaps, as he mutters his jargon, saying some prayer to the Great Spirit and asking him to hurry the time of the transition of his soul from the mundane sphere to that of the happy hunting ground.
