bringing along friendly Indians from
Willapa Bay, thirsting for Quileute
blood and knowing their turn might
be next unless that Quileute bunch
could be taught few points in inter-
national law.
CamafIouge Canoes.
Meanwhile, when daylight had
come, the Westport Indians did some
scouting, wandering about apparent
ly on casual errands. Finally they
got sight of some queer punches of
driftwood on the beach away below
where Hoquiam now is. Another an
gle of view showed that the driftwood
was canoes covered for cOncealment-
For be it known, gentle reader, cam
outage was not invented in 1914, but
is as old as the struggle for life on
this planet. The Quileutes were wait
ing for another night to open the
ball.
But Tssa-lase, now on the ground,
had some thoughts of his own, for
his gray matter was as active as his
muscles. He believed in David Har-
um's philosophy: do unto others as
they would do unto you, and do it
first"
Tsa-lase, in fact, was some fighter
on his own account Of not much
above ordinary stature, he was re-
markably agile. He had frequently
been almost surrounded by enemies
actively and concertedly trying to
perforate him. But he was so active
that they always hit where he had
been, while he always countered with
a short jab that disconnected some
body. 1t is even related that in one
case, hard pressed, he grabbed an OPP
ponent by the neck and hair and with
a sharp twist broke the braves neck.
Employ Strategy.
To tell the truth, it was no secret
that the Quileutes would feel the
raid success if they could get Tsa-
lase alone, and it was definitely sus-
pected that they were mostly after
him this time.
But strategy was neither invented
by Won Moltke nor forgotten when
Caesar died, and Tsa-lase played a
game worthy of Hannibal.
At one place on the Grays Harbor
shore, the beach is slippery soapstone.
In front of the beach is wide
stretch of mud flats, bare at low wa
ter, and threaded by narrow sloughs.
The place is now called James Rock.
To this place Tsa-lase directed
some hastily gathered allies from up
the river, with some of the local In
dams as liaison officers, with direc-
tions to keep under cover until called
for.
Meanwhile, Tsa-lase arranged two
large canoes with a goodly crew of
fighting men lying in the bottoms
and covered by kliskwis mating.
Two men only were detailed to pad
die each canoe, and instructed to pad
die along within easy sight of the
Quileute camp. Tsa-lase himself went
in one of the canoes.

BATTIEOFQ UILEUTES
AND HARBOR INDIANS

tcontinued from Page onel
Southwest Washington labor press. [volume] (Hoquiam, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1923-08-31

The two Grays Harbor canoes
headed for the beach, the crew max
ing defiant motions all the time, but
evidently in q hurry to get ashore,
the Quileutes hurrying TO catch them
before they should reach the brush
for cOncealment.
The Grays Harbor canoes reached
the beach first. To the surprise and
satisfaction of the Quileutes, the
Grays HarbOr warriors did not make
for the tall timber at all, but waded
around in the shallow water, wig
wagging valiant defiance. The Quill
eutes came ashore, too, and hoped
out to charge.
Right here was where things be-
gan to happen.
If you do not know what it is like
to scuff1e on a wet soapstOne beach,
just go down to the bay shore some
day and try it. It win take just the
small faction of a second to bring all
four of your limbs into action. Your
arms will be semaphoring the entire
alphabet, while one leg will point to
3 quarter past two and the other to
the signs Of the Zodiac.
The Quileautes were unaccustomed
to the slippery sOapstone footing
the Westports were at home. The
Westports wisely kept skirmish for
nation. When the Quileutes tried
Southwest Washington labor press. [volume] (Hoquiam, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1923-08-31

Tsa-lase himself knew that If he
were in the open fight the Quileutes
would recognize him and surround
him. On the slippery soapstone his
activity would do him no good in
lodging, so he went to the high drift
wood at the bank with his nephew,
and they stood there with half-drawn
bows. Whenever a Quileute seemed
particularly handy in the manual Of
arms with the spear, or was pressing
Westport man hard, Asa-lase and
his nephew would draw arrows to the
head and let fly.
Alter time the Quilegtes saw that
this was not their day nor their game.
The survivors rushed to their canoes
and tried to execute a stragetic re-
treat.
1t was here that the full beauty of
Tsa-lase's strategy showed itself.
The whole affair had been so timed
that when the Quileutes tried to get
away their canoes kept hitting the
shallower spots on the flats, as the
tide was fast ebbing. The Westport
Indians knew the ground, of course,
and what they did to the Quileutes
was like the story of the doings of
Hawkins, Frobisher and Drake with
the Spanish armada.

Pursuit Ends.

Tsa-lase called of the pursuit
when there were vet a very few Quill
eutes left, and motioned to them to
hit the trail for home. There are
some humorous incidents related of
their return trip, albeit tragic; how
they fixed war bonnets on sticks to
show above the gunwales of the ca
noes as they went north, so the Quill
eutes would not see their weakness
and go out after them. There were
other Incidents, but that would be
following the story too far north.
The widows of Ashur were not
louder in their wall than those of the
Quileutes, but that, too, is not of the
story.
Well, you know primitive people
had the advertising sense as well as
we. And so, just to give publicity to
what had happened and to give warn
ing for the future, the heads of many
of the fallen Quileutes were stuck on
poles and set up for the forage of
crows.
The Quileutes took the lesson to
heart, and they were not again such
a terror along the coast.
AS for Tsa-lase, it would be a pleas
ure to narrate that he lived to a far
age, and went peacefully to join his
fathers. Truth compels the mention
that he was sent prematurely to the
happy hunting grounds by q despic-
able bit of treachery on the part of
some upper ChehaIis people who were
jealous of his growing fame and au-
thOrity. That is another story, and
not part of the account Of the bat
tie of James Rock.
1t may not be amiss to mention
that Tsa-lase left his seed on the
earth. John Skanown, who died two
years ago, was one of them. Little
GeOrgiana Cross, living with her par
ents at Bay Center, is a direct de-
scendant, seven generations removed
from the doughty old Tsa-lase.

How Roads Are Owned.
The share of the worlds railways

is in 1928 about 35 per cent. against
approximately 33 per cent in 1913, 2S
per cent in 1906 and "a per cent in

In the United States and Great
