What became of the Hawaiians?
Some returned to the islands when
their term of work was up on the
mainland. The blood strain Of those
who stayed in America was absorbed
by the Indians, with whom they inter-
married. There is probably a faint
strain of Hawaiian blood in many
northwest Indian tribes today. 1t is
not improbable that some Of the
Hawaiian dance forms and perhaps
some OF their legends and arts and
crafts have been transplanted to the
Indians OF this region with whom they

A Candidate defeated at primary

general election ballot under any party
designation. according to an opinion by
Attorney General H j. Freebourn,
written for Clyde Hayden, attorney for
Ravalli county. Hayden's request
showed that the democratic nominee
for the office of county superintend-
ent OF schools was defeated by another
person on the same ticket, but that
the defeated person was nominated ON
the republican ticket by having her
name written on the ballot by voters.
Hayden asked if the person, thus de-
feated and nominated at the same
election, could get her name on the
ballot on the republican ticket this
fall. Freebourn ruled that her name
cannot go on the ballot.

OF course there was never any great
number of Hawaiians in western Mon
tana but there were always few
around each trading post. Robert Carl
ton Clark, writing on the subject for
the Oregon Historical Quarterly, has
estimated that in 1886 there were about
$50 Owyhees in the employ Of the
Hudson's Bay Co. Perhaps a fifth of
that number were in what is now west
ern Montana OF course these eXiles
from the islands did not wear the
grass skirts and tapa cloth costumes
of their homeland because the climate
of the northwest prohibited such airy
their having strummed ukeleles, for
the instrument was not to be intro
duced to the islands by the Portuguese
for quarter of a century or more.
An echo of the story OF the Hawaii
ans in the northwest is to be found
! in Hodges Handbook of the Ameri
can Indians" in which it is related
among the Kootenai Indians OF north
western Montana an Indian named
Kanaka. This Indian was a descend
ant OF the HaWaiians in the fur trade.
Another echo of the story is found in
the name of the Owyhee river of Ore
gon. Tradition says this river was
named in memory of two Hawaiians
who were killed by Indians in the Vi!
cinity in 1919.
why Hawaiian Voyageurs?
Why did the fur companies bring
Hawaiians to the northwest to work
when there were so many white men
in eastern Canada at the time? The
answer to this question is found in
the fact that except for factors and
i l., =.
workers by the Hudsons Bay Co. and
other firms were so meager that the
| companies had difficulty recruiting
! laborerS to brave the dangers OF the
wilderness. Few white men cared TO
risk leaving their scalps on some In
| dams gee string for the wages the
companies were willing to pay and so
the big trading companies went to the
! Hawaiian islands for cheap labor. By
buttering up the Hawaiian king, Kane
hameha the Great, they were able to
secure workers for as little as $50 a
! year and subsistence. The workers had
no choice but to do what their king
ordered and so they came to the north
west as virtual slaves. Their contracts
usually ran for two years and they
were promised bonus at the end OF
! that period.
The first Hawaiians were brought to
| the northwest by ship captains who
| traded for furs with the Indians and
/ in turn traded the furs in Picking and
other oriental cities for the treasures
OF the orient. The Hawaiian islands

Italy has hammered $50 air attacks

about 200 killed and 400 wounded.

Despite the incessant Italian at

about four daily raids. There has

days 70 Italian planes came over.
