This Chief is one of the Tlickitack Tribe, and the principal Chief of all the Indians in- 

 habiting the Columbia River, from Astoria to the Cascades. In the plenitude of his power 

 he traveled in great state, and was often accompanied by a hundred slaves, obedient to his 

 slightest caprice. The bands over whom he presided paid him tribute on all the furs and 

 fish taken, as also upon the increase of their stock, to support him in this affluence. 



He was the petted chief of the Hudson's Bay Company, and through him they are un- 

 doubtedly much indebted for the quiet ascendancy they always maintained over these 

 tribes. 



It is said that on visiting Fort Vancouver, his slaves often carpeted the road, from the 

 landing to the fort, with beaver and other furs, a distance of a quarter of a mile ; and that 

 on his return, the officers of the Hudson Bay CoApany would take the furs, and carpet the 

 same distance with blankets and other Indian goods, as his recompense. He is now an old 

 man, having outlived his prosperity and posterity, to see a once numerous people reduced 

 to a few scattered lodges, which must soon disappear before the rapidly growing settlements 

 of the adventurous pioneers.
