COULDN'T RESIST THE CoLoRS
squaw Traded Many Baskets for
Fancy Petticoat

Ono Of the great attractions for visit
ors TO North Beach OF late is a camp OF
siXty-five Indians, who are located on the
cranberry marsh back of Ilwaco, with the
object of engaging in gathering the ber-
ries. While waiting for the berries to
ripen they are amusing themselves in ca
tering TO the popular fad of collecting In
dian baskets. These baskets range in
price from so cents TO s.. The Indians
receive many dollar from visitors to
the beach in exchange for these baskets,
and occasionally exchange them for sec
ond-hand clothinr when these suit their
fancy.
A few days ago two Portland women at
the beach made up a large collection OF
their cast-off apparel and went TO the
Indian camp intending 70 trade for a lot
of baskets. Their shrewd aboriginal sis
tiers. seeing the large amount of clothing
brought, decided that the market was
overstocked and refused to exchange eX-
cept on the most eXtortionate terms, de-
handing a wardrobe for a whole family
In exchange for a very common basket
Consequently there was no rush of BUSH
ness and the visitors strolled about. One
OF them In crossing a wet place held

petticoat brilliant with stripes OF scarlet
and green. One of the oldest and ugliest
