aomctimea the not. 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.
I .Wave given you, Mr. EUCior, a raith-

The objections urged against Indio
in the past by the large numbers who
otherwise would have been glad to tak

been a lack of suitable accommoda

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
