 Columbia. It was the cliief town of the 

 Yaku-lanas previous to their migration to 

 Prince of Wales id. ; afterward the site

 doned. (.1. K. s. )

 DAGGER OF implements, intended to thrust 

 steel; and stab. Daggers of stone do not 

 (mBLACK ) take a prominent place among the 

 weapons of the northern tribes,

 tile points, save in rare cases where the

handle was worked in a single piece with 

 the blade. Bone was well suited for the 

 making of stabbing implements and the 

 long 2-pointed copper poniard of the re- 

 gion of the great lakes was a form i- 

 (lable weapon. The exact use of 

 this group of objects as employed 

 m })iehistoric times nnist remain 

 largely a matter of con- 

 jecture. The introduc- 

 tion of iron soon led to 

 the making of keen- 

 pointed knives, as the 

 dirk, and among the 

 N. W. coast tribes the 

 manufacture of broad- 

 bladed daggers of cop- 

 per and iron or steel, 

 modeled afterEuropean 

 and Asiaticpatterns, })e- 

 came an important in- 

 dustry.
