One of the, Indian legend! relates to f
the Wlshkah river, a beautiful stream
of cold water, whose aourca- is In th , !
snow-crowned Olympic -mountains, to :
the north. It empties into Grays har- -bor.
and is affected for many miles.,
from its source by the tides of the sea.
It winds in and out among- the dark :
f reen of the evergreen forests. Its banks ,,
ined with the beautiful vinemaple, wild ,
crabapple, salmon and blackberry vines; h
while its current rippling on its way ;
to the -sea, la not mors musical than
the name it beare. .
But this name, while falling pleas-
antly on the ear when translated means
"stinking water"; and - the reason for :.
it is that many years ago the hunting
and fishing canoes of a warlike tribe ,
of Slwash Indians floated on Its spark- "
, ling waters, or filled with bravo warriors,
went forth to battle. 'U -..:. , .;,. . ...
The tribe made its home on a lit Ha
in endow alonlnc rentlv down . to the
beautiful river, where their wickiups .
stood thick on the graaa which was al
ways green, and formed & village of
considerable else, located many miles ,
up the river, neaf its headwaters. The
tribe numbered many , braves, with .
"klootchmen" and pappoosea, and flour- - "
lshed happily under the wise guidance
of the good chief, Chemalnus. .. ,
For many years they were happy, and '
prosperous they were victorious In
their frequent battles with other tribes
. their number -continually increased
and the chase, the fishing-,-and the
fruits provided by bountiful Mother
Nature furnished ample' supplies for .
their dauy needs.- , - ,
