SEAGOlNG CANOES.
One That Could Carry 100 Pnssen-
gers and Cross the Ocean.

gers and Cross the Ocean.
The second largest Indian canoe in
British Columbia, IL not on the Pacific
coast, is now hauled out on the tide fat
fill on First avenue south. 1t is stun
ner. considering it is made entirely out
OF big single cedar tree.
1--WE could cross the ocean In that ca
noe," said the owner this morning in
very good English. 1T will hold more
than a hundred people and is the largest
canoe but one in all our country"
The big canoe is but one out of n score
Of large canoes that belong to the Fort
Rupert and West Coast Indians of Van
couver island. Fort Rupert is on the
northern end Of Vancouver island, and
the Indians now here were 18 days on
the voyage. With a good fair wind they
can go 100 miles day and could, there
fore. accomplish the almost 1000 mile
voyage in eight or ten days. However,
they do not always get the fair wind.
The big canoe is new one. made this
summer. 1t is about So feet long and I
to 8 across. The Indians say there are
even bigger cedar trees than the one from
which the canoe 0eas made. These In
dams have been coming here ever since
the first hops were planted. They al
ways look for sound tree for canoe,
one without any rotten parts or knot
holes about it. The Indian owner hired a
number Of other Indians and made the
canoe where the tree fell, then skidded it
into the water. He considers it worth
$500 or $500.
War canoes Of these northern Indians
used to create good deal Of terror in
the minds of the first settlers. There are
old gray haired patrarchs in the camp
today who doubtless have in the past TAX
en- part in many a raid on the Sound In
dams and possibly in some of the few at
lacks made on the early settlers.-Seattle

hundred miles, as he thought from any
other human beings. He was startled
one day AS he heard stepping on the
ice. and he cooked the rife, ready to meet
anything that came near. He found a
man, barefooted and insane from long ex-
posure, approaching him. Taking him
into his canoe and kindling fires to warm
him, he restored him, found out where he
had lived and took him to his home and
found all the village in great excitement.
A hundred men were searching for this
lost man, and his family and friends
rushed out to meet him, and, as had been
agreed at his first appearance, bells were
rung, and guns were discharged, and
banquets spread and the rescuer loaded
with presents. Well, when some of You
