ne was when CHIEF Seattle

Time was when Chief Seattle
rambled along the verdant shores
of Elliott Bay, pensivoly chewing a
bit OF spruce bark and wondering
how long Il would be before he'd
have the pleasure OF sticking his
trusty spear into the ribs of the
weather-beaten wayfarers who
were encamped on Alki Point.
Time went on, and Chief Seattle
made friends with the paleface In
vaders and they moved In from
their exposed stockade and set
about the building of this urban
burg. which they named after the
chief.
Time continued to fugit and
Chief Seattle became good Indian.
That is, he mounted the pale steed
and hiked for the Happy Hunting
Grounds.
And still Time flew on. Certain
generously disposed citizens had a
nice statue OF Chief Seattle carved
out OF virgin bronze. Maybe 1t
was cast In that material instead
of being carved.
Anyway, as Time filtered for
ward, we enjoyed the imposing
sight of the Chiefs sturdy features,
the bronze lines glistening In the
sun, and we thought he must have
been a pretty good old scout, after
all.
And now, after all these years,
they have painted the chief. True
an Indian chief wouldn't kick al
