THE FIRST WHITE WOMAN.
Arrival of the Pilot Schooner Mary
Taylor.


In the afternoon OF Saturday. February
n 49, there arrived in Port Townsend
bay a large war canoe manned by the
Duke OF York. head chief OF the Ciallan
Indians, and g crew OF that tribe TIE
canoe and Indians were in the service Of
Uncle Sam. and had just come from the
custom house at Olympia. carrying force
OF customs officers on a cruise Of the
lower Sound. The force consisted of Dep
uty Collector Q. A Brooks. in charge. and
inspectors A. NJ Poe, II. c. Wilson and
A =. Moses.
The canoe landed on the beach at a point
near the terminus OF what is now known
as Tyler street. and soon all hands were
at work unloading the necessary equip
ments for night camping, and cooking the
evening meal Presently q cheerful fra
was blazing. and soon the culinary skill
OF Poe and Wilson was manifest. and all
sat down 70 a hearty repast-
A small unfinished log house. without
chink or daub, was the only fixture Of
civilization on the bay. But the ciisquis
houses of the Ciallams were strongly in
evidence all along the beach. this being the
principal village of the tribe.
Nlghtfall came on apace. The glow
from the campfire and the wickiups OF the
Indians cast weird but cheerful light
over the beach. bluff and bay. The NOR
row was the Sabbath. a day, in these

A small vessel was on Saturday night
discovered entering the bay of Point Hud-
son. On nearer approach 1t proved 10 be

", Pettygrove, ST.. and Loren Z. Hastings
and their families on board. Next day.
Sunday. the families were landed. and the
Mary Taylor proceeded on 10 Olympia.
The debarking OF these families Afforded
an opportunity for the customs boys 10
show their gallantry: for. being low tide
with no wharf. the hghterage 20 shore
through shallow water was OF necessity
performed by men in high-top boots. And
in this way that most estimable lady Mrs.
James Mcintyre, now the mother OF a
grown-up family hare, then a mere child.
was carried ashore in the arms OF Deputy
Brooks.
Mrs. Pettygrove and Mrs. Hastings were
the first white women 10 settle at Port
Townsend. Their coming marked the
dawn Of new era, for soon others came.
and then others, and thereafter the
powerful influence of CAristian women was
felt in civilization. enlightenment and bet
terment OF humanity.

During President McKinley's term Of
Office he viii have the privilege OF filling
five vacancies In the rank OF brigadier-
general Of the army. for FIVE OF the present
holders Of that rank viii reach the retir-
ing age within the next four years. Pro-
motions 10 this rank do not 90 by reason
OF seniority. but the president is empow-
cred TO make his selections from among
any Of the colonies.
It Is TO be hoped. when these vacancies
occur. that President Mckinley may see
his way clear to confer one of the vacant
briga6ier- generalships upon Col. Thomas
III. Anderson. in the command of the Four
teenth infantry and OF the post Of Van
couver barracks. Col. Anderson has been
stationed in this state for the past eleven
years. and during this time has made
many warm friends. He Is third on the list
of colonies. and IL seniority were the test
would certainly be entitled to be selected.
But. In addition 10 seniority, he has the
additional recommendation of brilliant
past record and splendid present qualih-
cations. In one respect Col. Anderson's
Mai. Mckinley. for. like the latter, he
entered the service at the outbreak Of the
war as a private soldier, and in an Ohio
regiment, having been mustered in as a
private In Company A, Sixth Ohio In
fantry. On April %. is6I. He was commits
stoned q second lieutenant In the regular
army May Z. 1881. and was soon thereafter
promoted TO captain.
His war record was a brilliant one. but
1t IS unnecessary 10 go into details. ex-
! cept TO say that he rose TO the command
Of regiment in thu early part Of issL He
was twice wounded. once at Chancellors-
Vile and once at Spottsylvania. and was
twice breyetted for gallant conduct.
Col Anderson enjoys the unique distinc-
ton. for man who entered the army at
his early age, of being a lawyer as well as
| q soldier. He has been admitted to the bar
IN Kentucky. Ohio and Texas. He was sp-
| pointed attorney for the United States
| government In 1872 in the Mexican border
claims cases. involving many millions OF
| dollars. and so successfully defended that
only $500 was finally adjudged TO Mex
| leo As post commander at Vancouver he
personally and successfully carried on the
defense In the litigation started by the
Roman Catholic church, which claimed the
whole Of the tract now covered by Van
! couver barracks as a mission claim, un-
| der an CID act Of congress, The colonel is
also the author Of several contributions 10
military literature and military history.
In view OF Col. Anderson's seniority. his
| army and civil record. and his personal
| qualifications for high rank. fl would seem
but natural that he should be among those
| who VIII receive promotion during Presi-
| dent Mekinley's term OF oftiee. Should he
receive this sonor It will be a matter Of
