some electrical effects Of a patriotic
character that brought ringing applause
and the drum ensemble Of the chorus had
a real martial swing. Original bUrlesques
OF some OF the big Broadway successes
furnish another enjoyable feature OF the

can Lake. where has been esta blished
Camp Lewis for the training OF many
thousand soldiers OF the new Liberty
Army" Is in a section rich in historic
lore.
American Lake Is one OF several
lakes in an expanse OF level country
between Puget Sound and the foot
hills OF, the Cascade mountains, TO
the south OF Tacoma. This section
is known as American Prairie, the
name given to 1t at the first Fourth
OF July celebration on the Pacific
coast. Up to that time it was known
as Missionary Prairie. The celebra.
ton is said to have been the first
pre-arranged patriotic observation
west OF the Mississippi river.
There were not many whites in this
region up TO 1841. Fort NisQually
was maintained as n Hudson's Bay
company post through the early part
OF the last century and up to 1870.
1t was at this fort that Captain
Charles Wilkes arrived with two
schooners early in 1841. This was
part OF an expedition on scientific re-.
search, authorized by congressional
act OF May Is, 1886. Under instruc-
tons several vessels proceeded into
southern waters. and later two schoon-
ers the Vincennes and the Porpoise
yoyaged along the California coast and
the Pacific northwest section. In the
spring of lS41 they entered Puget
Sound.
II seems to have been purely a scien.
tific expedition and the several scien.
lists along operated with Fort Mis-
Qually as their base.
AS the Fourth OF July was coming
along arrangements were made fol
observing the day. and this included q
barbecue and program OF sports, par
ticipated in by marines and the friend
ly Indians. This celebration took place
at the head OF Lake Sequalitchew
near old Fort Nisqually. II was on
this occasion that Captain Wilkes and
a small party walked over to the ad.
Joining lake, and while this lake had
no important part in the celebration
he named IL American. Up to this
time the lake bore the name Spoot
sylth. which suggests the uncanny rep
utation among the Indians. They
would for some superstitious reason
never battle in the lake. American;
are not given TO that feeling and do SC
with impunity.
Among the early residents there
was some dispute as to how Wilkes
came to name the lake American.
The reason appears obvious, but some
recounted the fact that DR.. J. =. Rich
mond, a missionary in the section, de
J livered the Fourth OF July Grafton, and
he and his wife were with Capt
Wilkes when he named the lake. Mrs
RichmOnd's first name was America
, and some have contended the captain
gallantly applied 1t.
Anyhow. II became American Lake
