This country abounds in Indian
history and mythology. The In.
dian myths are quite sweet and
pretty. And l think we as Amer
leans should make an effort to
learn more about the once savage
yet noble, race that is fast dying
out os existence. However the
United States government is
spending thousands of dollars in
trying to write correct history
of all the tribes that once inhabit.
ed our land.
But let us take a peep into some
more places of interest in the vi.
cinity of Seattle. A few hours
ride on the Sound northwest
brings US to Bremerton; here are
situated the largest drydocks in
the United States. Four ships
were at anchorage undergoing re-
pairs, namely, the Boston, Con-
cord, Albany and Celtic. The Gel
tic was used to carry provisions
for the men during the Spanish
America war in 1898. 1t costs
SIS, 900 to anchor a ship at the dry
docks and $500 day thereafter
until repaired.
Visitors were allowed on board
the Boston and the sailors used
every effort to show us the ship.
The machinery IN the hull of the
vessel was undergoing repairs,
hence we did not see that. The
coming tower is interesting, SIT.
uate | on the prov of the vessel is
small apartment from which
the captain can, throus h the means
OF pert holes, see every move of
the enemy without their detect
Ing him. A kind of telegraphy is
used here too by which he can
talk to any compartment on the
ship and give orders. The cap
talns apartments, dining.aoom,
parlor, etc., are what one would
term magnificent. The sailors
have library room stored with
many good books.
The boys sleep in hammocks
and must arise and put away their
beds in three minutes. They are
sent to the dungeon" as they
call it, if they fall short of duty.
Their rank is known by certain
marks of distinction on their
blouse. An apprentice has bow
knot on his sleeve; star indicates
a first class gunner; three stripes
a first class sailor; chief wears
brass buttons, he gets $40 a
month, the highest salary paid;
an apprentice gets $40, the low
est paid. There is much to be
told and learned of our great war
vessls and the way they are man.

Another trip on the Sound from
Seattle Is to Tacoma, another of
Seattle's rivals. Both cities have
large factories, there are possibly |

Of Tacoma are the great hop fields
where acres and acres are utiliz-
ed In raising hops. The Siawash
es with all the family, even the
little papoose strapped on the
back, are to be seen In
the hop fields during the picking
season. The Siawash Indians are

saken nearly all the old Indian
customs, many of them are
