Tate (C. M.) — Cont'iuued. 



"Mr. Tate came to British Columbia from 

 Northumberland, England, in 1870. He engaged 

 in mission work among the Mathead Indians 

 at Nanaimo, Vancouver Island, in 1871, where 

 he learned the Aukamenum language spoken 

 by the Indian tribes on the east coast of Van- 

 couver Island, lower Fraser River, and Puget 

 Sound. Here he spent three years, when he 

 removed to Port Simpson, on the borders of 

 Alaska, among the Tsimpsheans. He next 

 moved to the Eraser River and spent seven 

 years amongst the Flathead tribes between 

 Tale and Westminster, frequently visiting the 

 Indians on the Nootsahk River in Washington 

 Territory. Mr. Tate spent four years, 1880 to 

 1884, among the IJella-Bellas, returning in the 

 latter year to the mission on Fraaer River."

Tolmie (W. F.) — Continued. 



William Fraser Tolmie was born at Inver- 

 ness, Scotland, February 3, 1812, and died De- 

 cembers, 1886, afteranillnessof only threedays, 

 at his residence, Cloverdale, Victoria, B. C. He 

 was educated at Glasgow University, where he 

 graduated in August, 1832. On September 12 

 of the same year he accepted a position as sur- 

 geon and clerk with the Hudson's Bay Com- 

 pany, and left home for the Columbia River, 

 arriving in Vancouver in the spring of 1833. 

 Vancouver was then the chief post of the Hud- 

 son's Bay Company on this coast. In 1841 he 

 visited his native land, but returned in 1842 

 overland via the plains and the Columbia, and 

 was placed in charge of the Hudson's Bay po.sts 

 on Puget Sound. He here took a prominent part, 

 during the Indian war of 1855-'56, in pacifying 

 the Indians. Being an excellent linguist, ho 

 had acquired a knowledge of the native tongues 

 and was instrumental in bringing about peace 

 between the Americans and the Indians. He 

 was appointed chief factor of the Hudson's Bay 

 Company in 1855, removed to Vancouver Island 

 in 1859, when he went into stock-raising, being 

 the first to introduce thoroughbred stock into 

 British Columbia ; was a member of the local 

 legislature two terms, until 1878 ; was a member 

 of the first board of education for several years, 

 exercising a great interest in educational mat- 

 ters ; held many ofiices of trust, and was always 

 a valued and respected citizen. 



Mr. Tolmie was known to ethnologists for his 

 contributions to the history and linguistics of 

 the native races of the West Coast, and dated 

 his interest in ethnological matters from his 

 contact with Mr. Horatio Hale, who visited the 

 West Coast as an ethnologist to the Wilkes 

 exploring expedition. He afterwards trans- 

 mitted vocabularies of a number of the tribes 

 to Dr. Scouler and to Mr. George Gibbs, some 

 of which were published in Contributions to 

 North American Ethnology. In 1884 he pub- 

 lished, in conjunction with Dr. G. M. Dawson, a 

 nearly complete series of short vocabularies of 

 the principal languages met with in British 

 Columbia, and his name is to be found fre- 

 quently quoted as an authority on the history of 

 the Northwest Coast and its ethnology. He fre- 

 quently contributed to the press upon public 

 questions and events now historical.
