Euery event brought j\nforth several entries and the competitions were always close and exciting,\nsome of them remarkably so.\nThe manner in which the whole affair\nwas managed, and the satisfaction it\ngave to everybody, was the point most l\nworthy of comment. There was never\na hitch in the proceedings, and never\nan objection to the way in which things\nwere being conducted. Wherever it\nwas found more to the general liking\nthe printed programme was altered\nwithout discussion or delay, and event\nfollowed event so rapidly that no one\nhad an opportunity to feel the approach\nof impatience.\nIt is not always, in giving credit for\nsuccesses of this nature, that a newspaper feels justified in specializing, but\nthis was a case where public opinion\nmust have been unanimous, were a\nspecial vote of thanks to be tendered,\nthat S. H. Toy, secretary of the club,\nshould be the recipient.

It is the war song of\nthe Nootka Indians seventy five years\nago. The general meaning is, \"You\nlittle know what brave warriors we\nare. Poorly can our foes fight us when\nwe come on with our daggers.\"\nIt appears in a book entitled, \"The\nAdventures of J. R. Jewett, Three\nYears a Prison er Among the Nootka\nIndians,\" a book published in 1824,\nand it is one of the many literary finds\nmade by the Library Commissioners in\nthe search for new books for the library.\nThe volume is of va'ue to students\nof ethenology as the author deals\nat great length on the customs and\nmode of living of our Siwashes before\nthey were affected by the advent of\nthe whiterr.an. And every page is\ncrowded with interesting anecdote and\nstory. Briefly: About the yea*1 1715\na Spanish vessel visited the Nootka\ntribe on a trading trip. One of the\n^Nootkas stole a chisel and the captain\nof the ship fired his cannon among\nthe native canoes, killing a large number of Indians. Five years after-\n-v.'ards 'the ship Boston, from Boston\non a similar cruise, called at Nootka\nand the chief of the tribe, Marquinna,\nkilled all the crew but Jewett, the\nauthor, and the ship's carpenter,\nCampbell. They made these two men\nslaves, and spared their lives that\nthey might teach them the art of\ncarpentering and armoring.\nJewett minutely describes these\nsavages in their daily lives and states\nthat they were disgustingly filthy,\nbut modest and never given to excess.\n* In fact, before going to battle or on\narduous whaling trips they went into\nmost rigid training, the men absenting then, selves from their wives, fasting much and constantly rubbing their\nskins with branches to harden them\nwhile standing in the water. To show\ntheir fortitude they ran spears through\ntheir sides, being careful not to touch\na vital part, and thus danced for hours\nbefore the chief men of, the tribe.\nThey were dressed in skins. All the\nhead men of the tribe wearing sea\notter skins, gathered in beneath the\narms and reaching to their knees. The\nauthor says many of the girls of the\ntribe were as white as the ladies of\nthe southern part of Prance, and he\nhad never seen more beautiful young\ngirls. He was compelled to marry the\ndaughter of a neighboring chief, whom\nhe  says   was    remarkably    beautiful.\nJewett states that he repeatedly saw\nthe Indian women with their eyes\nturned to Heaven praying to Quahootze\ntheir mysterious god. They were cruel\nas well as kind, revengeful as well as\nmost considerate to friends. Numerous white crews were put to death by\nbeing held down and stones pushed\ninto their mouths till they suffocated.\nThey always held, explains the author,\nthat these cruelties were practiced to\navenge the death of their tribesmen\nby whites, who would never have been\nmolested if the  whites had not first in\naugurated the system of murdering the\nNootkas on the slightest provocation.\nIn 1823 the ship Lydia arrived\nfrom Boston and Jewett affected his\nescape by stratagem. The chief being\nsure of his friendship asked him to\nwrite a letter to the captain saying\nthat he would trade with him and treat\nhim well. Jewett wrote a letter but\nit was to the effect to hold the chief as\nhostage until he and Campbell were\nput on board. This was done, and\nalthough the Indians were furious at\nwhat they claimed was his treachery\nthe two white men escaped unharmed\nafter being slaves to the tribe for three\nyears. \u2014Saturday Sunset.\n\"Have you ever been South?\" asked\nthe man from Florida.\n\"No, sir;\" confessed the Chicago\nman.\n\"Then you have never seen our\nsouthern soil?\"\n\"Oh, yes, I have.\"\n\"Where?\"\n\"On the strawberries you ship us\nfrom your state.\"\n<\u00a7\n#>\nI\nJob Printing and\nStationery.\n^###\u20ac\u00a71\nm\nWhile a penurious grocer was telling his new boy how careful he must\nbe a fly settled on a bag of sugar.

In the case of\nHorace Waters, whose body was found,\nan open verdict was returned, and the\npolice department has decided that\nnothing further can be done for the\npresent.\nChief Constable Cox and Constable\nMcLeod were assisted in their search\nby Messrs. Flovick, Brennan and Riley\nall of Clayoquot. The party arrived at\nTsow-in on the 22nd and spent two\n, days in making the most thorough\n| search of the locality which has yet\n; been made. The search commenced\nI from the spot where the body of Horace Watters was found and the search\n! ers continued outwards until the entire ground for a radius of over a mile\nwas covered practically every foot of I\nthe difficult country being investigated by the party all of whom are skilled in bush work. The ground rises\nabruptly from the sea shore and the\nsearch was carried far up the side ot\nthe mountain to a point beyond which\nit was practically impossible to go.\nWhere the scream near which the hat\nof Harvey Watters was found, comes\nthrough the hills, is about the only\nlevel portion of ground and this was\nalso well gone over but without result. Where the body had been lying\nwas a quantity of timber and broken\nbranches. Two pieces were brought\ndown by Chief Constable Cox, both of\nwhich were found lying right at the\nspot where the head of the body had\nbeen resting when Constable McLeod\nfound it. Whether these pieces were\nthe means by which the life was beaten out of Horace Watters is merely\na conjecture. There was no marks\nupon either of them to indicate that\nthey were the instruments of death\nbut they will be examined.\nNo information was gained that\nwould indicate that Indians had any part\nin the tragedy. The investigations\nwhich have been held show that only\nthree Indians saw the two brothers\nI alive after they landed at Tsow-in on j\nMarch 23. These were an aged Indian\nnamed Sooter who told Constable Mc-!\n; Leod when the latter made his first\nsearch, that one of the white men had\nj appeared sick and depressed. The\nother two were an Indian named Stick\ni Jim and his wife who saw the brothers\n! the day they landed from the Tees.\nThese Indians are now up the coast\n: and the other Indians who were camping a few miles away from Tsow-in\nhave moved to Rivers Inlet.\nBeyond  the  finding of the piece of\nskull and the more thorough search of\n| the whole locality this  last  attempt to\ndiscover some details of the occurrence\nhas proved abortive.\ni. R. Riley, one of the searchers, stated to Chief Constable Cox that he had\nbeen a passenger on the Tees when the\ntwo Watters brothers travelled to\nNootka. On the evening before they\n; landed at Tsow-in he had heard Horace Watters say to his brother Har-\n\\ vey \"Get out of bed and you will feel\nbetter,\" to which the other, who had\nbeen drinking very heavily and was\nin bad condition answered \"For God's\nsake man leave me alone. I am too\nsick to get up.    I am ready to die.\"\nWhen the brothers landed Harvey\nwas clearly suffering from his excessive drinking on the way up to\nTsow-in and was apparently feeling-\nsick and depressed when the Indian\nSooter saw the two white men after\nthey had landed at Tsow-in as the\ncondition of one of them was noticed\nby the Indian.\nUse the \"Bulldog\" Door-Catch\nand keep the Flies out.\nIt reaches out and draws the door shut.
