OLDEST Hi TRIHE 1,1 NOBTHWEST
Fred E. Prouty writes the following
Interesting sketch concerning the old
est tribe of Indians In the northwest,
for the Westerner of Seattle. Mr.
Prouty says:
In the list of Indian tribes of Puget
sound none are entitled to more no
tice than the Lumml tribe of Belling
ham. As far as known, this tribe Is
one of the oldest, if not the oldest, In
the Pacific northwest, and if the tra
ditions that are transmitted by the old
members of the tribe are correct, was
at one time the most powerful on Pu
get sound.
Xow the scene has changed. The
tribe that once numbered thousands
of dusky Indian men, women and
children, has dwindled to a men
handful, and but few full-blood Lum
mls remain.
Lumml Indian reservation is locat
ed abut f'iur miles northwest of
rrllingham. The reservation contains
cbnut 1 1 .000 acres of the best land in
the west. About 1800 acres have been
pa tented by the Indians, while 9400
acres are occupied by descendants of
the old types of the tribe.
Many Oncer I'!rcti(N.
Lurkig about this typical Indian
settlement are legends, quaint, poeti
cal nnd Inspiring. Local historians
attest that at least 200 years ago the
I.ummls numbered several thousand.
However, ns powerful as they were In
rumbers, yet they lacked the warlike
.spirit that characterized the average
savage Indian tribes of that age and
they were easy prey to the blood
thirsty tribes of the north, better
known as the King George Indians.
The King George Indians were the
sworn enemies of-the Lummls. Many
battles were fought around the shores
of Pelllnpham bay,, anil trie Lummls
were generally losers.
An old, decrepit Lumml who has
r.asi!e,i the century mark by at least
10 years, a resident of the ancestrlal
home of his father, and a fairly relia
ble historian, recited a beautiful Idyll
to which he ascribes the cause for the
f-ternal vendetta sworn against the
Lurnmls by the northern Indians, In
the following manner:
"Lfng time ago there was nice girl,
daughter of the chief of the Indians
'way up north. ,che was very nice and
had big power, for she see things that
nobody el-e see, and tell Indians
where to go and catch majiy fish. She
had nil" uar.d made of elks' teeth,
'he go out in little canoe and shake
wand and say: 'Heap lot fish come,'
and they rorne. Then Indian men get
In canoes and go out and get all fish
white people want. Some day she go
out little way in canoe and say:
TV ire whale,' and big one, sometime
two, corne to shore and water no deep
and Indian kill him easy.
"One d-iy Lumml chief say to his
men, 'Go get that girl. She got big
(tick and she cay to fish come to Lum
ml men.' So many Jndlan men go In
canoes and paddle up to north Indian
camp. Long time they wait to steal
girl. One day all her Indian folks
gone to have big pow wow on beach
where many clams live. Nice Indian
girl no go. Lumml men go In dark
one riieht and tie girl mouth and put
her In canoe. Tiy and by north In
dian folks come back and say:
'Where dirly?' . Old Indian woman1
who saw Lumml men steal her tell
where she go. Soon many Indians
come down and fight Lummls. Many
killed and Lummls run away. All the
time then thpre wag big fight. But
Indian eirl no good to Lummls. for
come. She get tired and steal canoe
one night and try to go home, bu:
she get dead for she no make canoe
go right and she fall into water."
This is a legend of the tribe and Is
believed to be the chief reason for the
hatred that existed for many genera
tions against the Lummis. But re
venge was sweet with the northern
Indians, for they practically obllterat
led the tribe. About 40 years ago ho
tilitles ceased between the two tribes,
Even at that time a few of the north
ern Indians would sn,eak down In their
canoes and lay In wait to kill one of
the Lummis, no matter who or where
he was.
There still lurks in the hearts of the
old men and women of the Lumml
tribe a deep hate for the British Co
lumbia Indians, but the younger gen
eration pay no attention to the old
time traditions, and strange as it may
seem, members of the tribe Intermar
ry. This shows the cunning of the
Indians of both tribes to secure title
to the land on the reservation, for It Is
said that a compact has been arrang
ed so that there will always be suf
ficient Indians on the reservation to
hold the land.
The Lummis have adopted the
white man's mode of living and is
provirg to be thrifty In agricultural
lines. Many of the younger Indians
secure marriage licenses and are wed
after the style of their white breth
ren. They have planted orchards,
raise stock, own wagons and car
riages, and live In comfortable houses.
Mortality, however, among tho pres
ent gentratlon Is increasing annually,
and It Is predicted that but a few
years will elapse before the typical
Lumml Indian will be a rarity. In
fact, Intermarriage between the north
ern Indians and the Lummls has prao
tically elimimted the full-blood Lum
ml, and only the old men and women
who now live pan be classed as real
Lummls. ,
There are many beautiful legends
connected with the Lummis and other
nearby tribes that are extremely Interesting.

Spokane, April 22. Warm weather
In i he past two or three days has
brought the snow out of the moun
tains In torrents and yesterday and
today several places throughout the
Coeur d'AUiies felt the effects of high
water and one fatality Is reported. The
damage was most severe ut Burke,
where It Is estimated eight or ten
families were driven from their
homes.
At the head of Gorge Gulch, a trib
utary to Canyon creek, the Moonlight
mine dum formed a dam. Here the
water was backed up until a good
sized lake was formed. At 1 o'clock
this morning the pressure became
too great and a flood of water plung
ed down the gulch carrying the dump
before it. Near the mouth of Gorge
gulch several houses were flooded and
families forced to make a hasty geta
way, An old school house, not now occu
pied, Is under water. When the flood
reached the ellrcules flume at No. 4
tunnel, the debris was blocked and
the water left its channel, taking to
the railroad tracks for 300 yards. No
damage was done to the Hercules.
At Legal Tender, below Osborn,
the bridge which carried the water
flume across the river was carried
out during last night. Near Cutaldo
this morning a Jam was threatening
the O. R. & N. bridge. The section
foreman took his gang out to break
dies of the city power to go ahead, on
Italian, fell In between the logs and
was drowned. For u time, It Is suld,
other sectlonmen threatened to mob
the foreman, blaming him for the
death of their comrade, but he stood
them off single handed.
On the edge of Wallace, up Placer
creek, a house owned by J. Q. Ad.ims
came near toppling Into the creek. It
was found at 5 o'clock this morning
that the water was eating under the
basement. The street foreman was
called on for aid. and by putting in a
dyke the house was saved. Yesterday
morning at 3 o'clock a landslide oc
curred at Custer mine, up Nine Mile
creek An immense slide of rock and
earth came down .the mountain 200
yards, smashed down the compressor
building and covered it seven feet
deep. The compressor was not run
nlng and no one was hurt.

Big muttons are about the scarcest
article In stnokyard circles now. Such
is the scarcity that salesmen have
be en allowed to name prices provide i
they acted w ithin reason. Such sheep
as were hard to sell at J4.S0 or less
last December have recently scored
above the 6-cent line.
Export trade has been checked by
virtue of Inability to secure mutton
for that outlet and many who put
on lambs last fall are now Indulging
In sheep. It Is gratifying that an
otherwise demoralized trade exhibits
one luminous spot.
Last season everybody went to
sheep and the crop did not remuner
ate growers for making It; this season
big muttons were let severely alone
and only that kind has made a dollar.
It Is true early sheep lost money, the
financial flurry was responsible for
that, but the lato end of the crop h.'is
yielded gratifying results. Livestock

MR. WIT TO TALK EE.

Washington, April 22. Dr. Wu
Ting-Fang, Chinese minister to the
I'nited States, Mexico and Peru, will
begin a speaking -tour Ivnlght w ith
an address before the Asiatic associa
tion in New Yorkj Tomorrow he will
go to Boston and will adress the Mer
chants' club on the subject of "The
Commercial Development of China."
After his Boston visit he will return
to New York to speak before the Civ
ic Forum in Carnegie, hail.
Dr. Wu has persistently refused to
discuss the troubles existing between
his nation and Japan and It is not
likely that he will make any refer
ence to the subject in Ills speeches.
All reference to the Tutsu Maru In
cident Is also avoided by the witty
and s-holarly Chinese diplomat, but
the twinkle in his iycs when the sub
ject Is broached bespeaks an Jnward
satisfaction at the termination of the
trouble.
