THE HISTORY OF EDGAR ROCK.
lOW this Freak q Iature. Located o. The
Sstthea River, Cane By lis
Name.

Correspondence PrSss- Times: The story
Of EdgaE's rock was first made known to
the writer by q returned camper who had
been fishing near the famous landmark.
1t was q rock standing alone like noun
tain, more than hundred feet high, near
the Matches river, about IS miles from
North Yakima, and on the old trail cut
through from Steilacoom to Walla Walla,
when these two towns were the only ones
on the Sound and In the interior respec-
lively. The rock had not Its name then !;
but later, during one Of the Indian wars,
a man named Edgar was pursued by a
party Of Indians and hunted for many
days and nights, after all his companions
had been killed, and his name was given
to the rock because Of the shelter it gave
him.
When be came to It, with his strength
almost spent, he noticed q place some
distance up from the ground which ap-
peared to offer means Of concealment. He
managed to climb up by holding to some
jagged projections, crawled to the open
ing, and remained there until the Indians
had given up the search for him, when
he slipped quietly down and went on over
the mountains to his home. This man
Edgar, had once been employed by the
Hudson Bay company, and was known
by Col. H. D. Cock, Of North Yakima.
He was a man Of more than ordinary
brains and force, and lived, for some
time on the prairie, near Olympia. He
married 4 woman Of the KliCkitat tribe.
east Of the mountains, and raised a
q family Of hali-breeds. One Of the boys
now known as "Old Man Edgar" now
lives on the Yakima Indian reservation,
where he Is one Of the notables, on ac-
count Of his having 4 white mans edu-
cation and an Indian home, His Scotch
father, who gave the name to Edgar's
Rock, was killed in fight with Nisqually
Indians, on the south fork Of the Puyal-
lup river, in 1856, at which fight Col.
Cock vas also present. Thus runs the
story which hangs about the great rock,
above which the campers go to reach q
point beyond the "Tattlesnake line" on
the Matches river, and It will do for a
bot day, since II 10 little bit Of history,
connecting the present with the fast-r 70
ceding past.

want for fun, or on account Of old ac-
quaintance sake, and these same men
talk and Drag about how sharp they did
'em going into "old man Whites water
melon patch" before boys, and the boys,
to prove that they are sharp, too, will get
into patches, and to be little sharper
than the men will plug a lot Of melons or
smash them because they are not ripe.
Again, the fewer such friends the better
for the grower, for he would bate TO see
Q friend 60 to prison, and 30 makes no
complaint, but submits to the friendship.
Now, for the sake Of all such, and es-
Pecially officials (who should try to set 4
good example for men and boys), l would
refer them to section s44 Of the code Of
Washington and let them imagine that
they were arrested on . complaint under
that section when they know they were
guilty and 1t could be proven on them
and then imagine how they would feel
and how they would appear when told
by the presiding Judge to stand up and
receive sentence. Men work to grow
