There were twine nets, ihowever, taade of materlaj pur chased from the 'White trader, and some made of native flax purchased of the Indians of the Interior niMr the Cascade range. The most pretentious garment worn by t'he women was a sWt petticoat formed of strings or twisted cedar bark, or their native flax, which was preferred. These Iwere alttached to the wiailst bdlt in suah quantity as to form a garment of etrtngs about two inches thick over the Ihlps and reach ing to 'Uhe knee. Wlieoi not alble to buy (ohum call) printed cotton, ewoug'h to make a gown like that worn by the wMte aldtor, Itlhe Indian women around Astoria In 1844-5 wore a pattlooat of this Haahtan, and a dlilmese of un bldaohed cotitom. Very few of them wore moccasin or shoe in oMiniary life. Some of iDhe dhlef families had robes of state, one of which I siaw tworn with great grajce Iby Itlhe undtflier of tlhe chief of the Catlhlamets. But iaa a, general statement the Indians of the lowor Columlbia were a broken people in 1844. The robe I spoke of as seeing worn by the Caifhlamdt tftiief's mother. Was simply put on 4n ithose Idiaj-s to illus trate the Indian state of time long past. The terrible epidemic tlhey called "black sick," lhad decimated Ithe In dians of the lower Columbia batween 1832-45, and wlhat were loft were has tanlng to degradation and destruction by adoipfcing the white man a vlc..- while 'purchasing ibis cast-off clothing. The old and overgrown cemeteries gave ample evldance that 'ilhose Indians had once cared well far their dead. A't the camp we made on Sauvle's Island, Which was the siite of i3he last vlilaga of the exithut Multnlomaiha, there was an extensive burial place ibulit of wide cedar stabs set upright In the ground, Into wlhldh slhelve3 were fastened, and i on wihlah the dead, 'Uglhtly wraipped In icedlar blark, were pOaced. Lower down tihe river the meUhod of "burial was to place 'the bodlies wrapped In cedar bark 4n canoes. Their fish laiw permitted of the catch ing of as many of the early run ot salmon as 'they could eat Ibetween the succeeding mlgfiiltPaU and eunrlse; none was to be left, and nione sold. This waa the first close season and iaa'ted until the first rpe berries were found, wihiloh, in thia regdon, is Itlhe ifarge B:e- clea of raspberry, air.d c'affied for that reason, 'the "Salmon berry," usually ripening about the last of May. T'he Indians were made to believe that it they caught for commercial .purposes betlore tlhe ripe berry appeared, th fish .would go tack to itw sea for That season.

SOLDBYALLDftUGOiSTS Indio The Oasis of the Colorado desert Health 1 Jesort BELOW THE LEVEL OF THE SEA Absolutely Dry and Pure Tropical Climate Pronounced by Physicians the most Favorable in America for Sufferers from . . . Lung Diseases and Rheumatism Many Remarkable Cures The objections urged against Indio in the past by the large numbers who otherwise would have been glad to tak advantage of Its beneficial climate, has been a lack of suitable accommoda tion. The Southern Pacific Company, takes pleasure in announcing that sev eral Commodious and Comfortable Cottages have just been erected at Indio sta tion, that will be rented to applicants at reasonable rates. They are fur nhhed with modern conveniences, sup plied with pure artesian water, and so situated as to govs occupants all the advantages to be derived from a more or less protracted residence in this do Ughtful climate. (From the San Francisco Argonaut.) "in the heart of the great desert of the Colorado which the Southern Pa cific road traverses there is an oasis called Indio, which, In our opinion, li the sanitarium of the earth. yVe be lieve, from personal investigation, that for certain invalids, the-e is no spot 01 this planet so favorable." O. T. Stewart, M. !., writes: "The purity of tho air, and the eternal sun shine, All one with wonder and delight. ' Nature has accomplished sc much that there remains but little for man to do. As to its possibilities as health resort, here is the most per. feet sunshine, with a temperature al ways pleasant, a perfectly dry soil for rain is an unknown factor; pure oxygen, dense atmosphere and pure water. What more can be desired f It is the place, above all others, for lung troubles, and a paradise for rheu matics. Considering the number ot sufferers who have been cured, I have no hesitancy in recommending this genial oasis as the haven of the afflict ed."
