visit to George Bush. an old
man who has been in the territory
since 1924 but settled here since the
fall Of 1845. He is a very worthy
and useful citizen, has acted as guide
to several immigrations, and from
his many services to the old settlers,

His farm is said to be the best

When we returned to the company

Esq, of Steilacoom, had bee. bug
zing" the company with the story
that the Hudson's Bay Co. employed
a secret trail from the mouth of the
Puyallup to their fort at Nisqually
over which they imported goods land
ed at Puyallup by large Indian
canoes. Such important and reliable
Information determined the collector
forthwith to organize an expedition.
So urgent was the duty that a party
consisting of Surveyor Miller, Cap
tain E. S. Fowler, H. c. Wilson, A.

arrived at Port Steilacoom at s a. n.
of the 2lst. At about 2 p. m.
reached Puyallup Bay and camped
that night at head of bay. Here the
party divided. Miller, Evans and
Moses took a canoe, assembled the
river and finally found a well-defned
trail which, after pursuing some two
miles, divided, one going to the bar
racks at Fort Steilacoom, the other
back of the prairie and leading to
Fort Nisqually.
The remainder returned to Port
Steilacoom in the boat All were of
opinion that we might have more
probably remained at the wedding.
Some thought John M. Chapman
could invent big stories and it is mo-
ticeable he did not care to accom-
pany the expedition. Some openly
ridiculed the collector for SO easily
allowing his credulity to be imposed
upon.
The expedition learned that snug

the Indians, proverbial for telling all
they knew, did not know as much
about those king George" canoes at

Saluda, to it's list of counties, max
ing seven counties in which it is

and Saluda. The company now
