Tumwater, the initial point in the history of the settlement of Puget Sound, was incorporated in Nov. 1869. In time it numbered more manu- factories than any other town on the Sound.

Vancouver was the fourth town in size in western Washington, having in 1880 about 3,000 inhabitants. It was made the county seat of Clarke co. by the first legislative assembly of Washington, in March 1854, its pioneers, both English and American, long retaining their residences. Among the early set- tlers were James Turnbull, born in England, came to Washington in 1852, and with him William Turnbull, his nephew, long known in connection with steamboating on the Columbia. Both died in 1874. P. Ahern, born in Ire- land, came to Vancouver with troops in 1852. Was elected co. auditor in 1855, and representative in 1857. Stephen P. McDonald, born in Ill., came with the immigration of 1852 to Washington. Engaged in printing, and was pub- lisher of the Vancouver Register for a time. He represented Clarke co. in the legislature in 1869, after which he was city recorder and clerk of the city council. He died Oct. 24, 1876. J. S. Hathaway, a native of N. Y., re- moved to Mich. when young, married in that state in 1847 and came to Clarke co. in 1852. He was active in the volunteer service during the Indian war, and was afterward co. judge. He died Jan. 12, 1876, at the age of 52 years. Levi Douthitt, horn in N. C., immigrated in 1852, settling near Vancouver, where he resided until 1870, when he removed to Marion co., Or., where he died in Dec. 1872, aged 61 years. A. G. Tripp, a native of R. I., immi- grated to the Pacific coast in 1849. He was employed in government service at Benicia, California, The Dalles, Oregon, Sitka, Alaska, and Vancouver. He settled at the latter place in 1857. He was chosen to represent Clarke co. in the legislature, but did not serve owing to absence in service of the gov- · ernment. He was mayor of Vancouver for several years. His death occurred Sept 17, 1875, at the age of 64 years. William Kelly came to the Pacific coast as sergeant in Co. G, 4th U. S. inf., and was transferred from Cal. to Fort Vancouver, where he remained until discharged in 1854, when he settled in the town. In 1866 he was made a capt. in the Sth U. S. cav., and was stationed in Arizona and New Mexico. He died at Denver, Colorado, while en route to Vancouver to visit his wife and children. Charles Proux, a Cana- dian voyageur, had resided near Vancouver since 1833 and acquired a hand- some property. He died Jan. 10, 1868. Ingersoll Stanwood and his wife, Matilda, came from Ill. to Or. in 1852, settling near Vancouver. Mrs Stan- wood died in April 1882, leaving 11 children with their father. Thomas Nerton, born in Eng. in 1822, married Eliza Lakin in 1852, and immigrated to Or. the same year. He settled in Washington in 1855, residing in Clarke co. until his death in Sept. 1882. He left a wife and 13 children. H. Mar- tin, a veteran mountain man, a North Carolinian by birth, settled north of the Columbia in or about 1840. He planted 8 orchards in Washington, and ate of the fruits of each successively. "He died in June 1862, aged 85 years. Frederick Shobert, a native of Penn., came to Or. in 1851, settling in Clarke co. He died in Sept. 1871, aged 65 years. Two pioneers of 1848, Felix Dodd and Henry Beckman, residents of Clarke co., died in April 1879, penniless.

COUNTIES AND TOWNS.

Port Townsend, situated on Quimper peninsula, ranked fifth in point of pop- ulation among the towns of western Washington. It was incorporated in 1860, the act being amended in 1871 and 1873. Occupying a commanding position, it was regarded as the key of Admiralty Inlet as well as Port Townsend Bay. There is a tradition that had the original owners of the town site been more liberal they might have benefited themselves. Brigg's Port Townsend, MS., 26-8. Loren B. Hastings, came to Or. in 1847 and settled at Portland, and was a member of the Ist municipal council of that city. On the 20th of Oct. 1851 he set out for Puget Sound, travelling by canoe to Cowlitz landing, and on foot from there to the Sound. Hastings was successful in business, and filled the various offices of justice of the peace, county treasurer, and repre- sentative in the legislature. He died in June 1881, and was buried with masonic ceremonies. Port Townsend Puget Sound Argus, June 17, 1881. Thomas Stimpson, a settler of Port Townsend, and a native of Maine, was swept overboard from the deck of the fishing schooner Shooting Star Septem- ber 15, 1870, and drowned. He was the pioneer captain of the fishing fleet, and much regretted by the people among whom he lived. His wife and 2 ehildren survived him. Frederick A. Wilson, born in Providence, R. I., came to Pnget Sound about 1856, and was collector of customs for several years. He removed to Cal. about 1866, and died at San Rafael, Dec. 28, 1876. Seattle Pac. Tribune, Jan. 26, 1877. Edward Lill, a native of Eng., came to Puget Sound in 1853, and settled on Colseed Inlet. He died at Port Towns- end, June 1876, aged 48 years. Olympia Transcript, June 10, 1876. D. C. H. Rothschild, merchant, settled in Port Townsend in 1858. He came to Cal. in 1849. Portland West Shore, Dec. 1876, 64. Henry L. Tibbals also settled in 1858. He died in Jan. 1883. Oliver Franklin Gerrish settled in 1863, too late to be a pioneer, but was identified with the affairs of Jefferson co., and had attained the highest degree of free-masonry. He was a native of Portsmouth, N. H., born April 14, 1830, and died at Victoria, B. C., Oct. 2, 1878. Port Townsend Argus, Oct. 3, 1878.

Steilacoom, the contemporary of Olympia, is most beautifully situated. Lafayette Balsh erected the first house, having brought the materials from the east in his vessel. The first house built out of native wood was put up by John Collins, a discharged soldier. Collins was a native of Ireland, born in 1812, emigrated to the U. S. in 1840, was in the Mexican war, in which he won a medal. Morse's Wash. Ter., MS., ii. 111-15. William Bolton, a deserter from the English ship Albion in 1850, located a claim two miles north of Steilacoom, where he had a ship-yard and built several of the early sloops which traversed the waters of the Sound. Evans' Notes, MS., v. Lemuel Bills, a native of Vt, came to Puget Sound about 1851 and settled at Steila- coom soon after. He died in August 1875, aged 73 years. Steitacoom Express, Ang. 12, 1875. Bills' claim joired Balch's on the east. Abner Martin, native of Va, immigrated in 1852, settling in Pierce co. the same fall. He dicd in April 1880, at the age of 80 years. Hill Harmon came to Puget Sound in 1850, engaged in various enterprises, was in charge of the insane asylum at one time, owned a logging camp, built the Harmon hotel at Steilacoom and resided there, and had an extensive acquaintance with the most prominent men in this country. His wife was the first white woman at Port Gamble, her daughter Emma being the first white child born at that place. Mrs Harmon died in Dec. 1876, soon after returning to Steilacoom from her for- mer home in Maine. Mason Guess, an immigrant of 1853, and a volunteer in the Indian war, resided at Steilacoom, and carried the mail from that place. John Walker came to the Pacific coast from Newark, N. J., in 1849, and settled in 1851 or 1852 in Pierce co. He died in 1869 in the Puyallup Valley. William M. Kincaid, born in Lexington, Ky., who belonged to the immigration of 1853, with his 7 children, 4 boys and 3 girls, his wife being dead, settled in the Puyallup Valley, and was driven ont by the Indian war, but returned after several years. His death occurred in Feb. 1870, at the age of 71 years. John R., Joseph, and Christopher Kincaid are his sons. Seattle Intelligencer, Feb. 21, 1870. J. B. Webber, E. A. Light, James Hughes,

WHATCOM AND CONNER.

Samuel McCaw, and Rodgers were among the carly settlers of Steilacoom. The donation claimants in the immediate vicinity were, after L. Balch, C. Chapman, and L. Bills: Thomas Chambers, J. Van Buskirk, W. Wallace, M. Byrd, John Rigney, W. P. Dougherty, L. Reach, James H. Minson, M. Faley, G. Gibbs, Peter Smith, J. Faucett, I. Talentire, W. P. Melville, Henry Johns, W. D. Bushaker, C. Mahan, W. Downey, W. N. Savage, T. Sears, H. Barnes, W. Northover, H. M. Percy, J. Thompson, Jesse Dunlap, E. Mecker, J. Montgomery, Frederick Mayer, G. Brown. Other towns of Pierce county were Puyallup, in the hop-growing region of that valley, Franklin, Alertou, Orting, Wilkeson, Lake View, Sumner, Elhi, and Nisqually.

Of towns that once had the promise of a great future, Whatcom is one. It was named after a chief of the Nooksacks, whose grave is a mile above the Bellingham Bay coal minc. For a short time during the Fraser River furore it had 10,000 people, and a fleet of vessels coming and going. The order of Douglas, turning traffic to Victoria, caused all the better portion of the buildings to be taken down and removed thither. The single brick house crected by John Alexander remained, and was converted to the use of the county. Eldridge's Sketch, MS., 31-2; Coleman, in Harper's Magazine, xxxix. 796; Waddington, 8-9; Rossi's Souvenirs, 156-7. After this turn in the fortunes of Whatcom it remained uninhabited, except by its owners and the onal company, for several years, or uutil about 1870, when the N. P. R. Co. turned attention to Bellingham Bay as a possible terminus of their road, and all the available land fronting on the bay was bought up. In 1882 the agent of a Kansas colony, looking for a location, fixed on Whatcom county and town, and made arrangements for settling there 600 immigrants. The owners of the town site agreed to donate a half-interest in the town site to the colo- nists, but refused after the latter had complied with the stipulations. New Whatcom was thereupon laid off on the opposite side of the creek, and also a town called Fairhaven west of that, while other colonists settled at Sehome, named after a chief of the Samish tribe, and laid off by E. C. Fitz- hugh, James Tilton, and C. Vail, on the land claim of Vail and De Lacy, in 1858. Another town to which the mining rush gave birth was Semial'noo, on the beautiful land-locked bay of that name, ten miles east of Point Rob- erts, and just below the southern boundary of B. C.

Of the towns founded since the pioneer period in this region, La Conner was for some years the chief. It was founded by J. S. Conuer, and named after his wife, Louise Agnes Conner, the first white woman who settled on the flats. The post-office was established in 1870, a school in 1873, a catho- lio church in 1874, and a grangers' ball in 1875, which served for all public uses aud county offices. Conner was born in Ireland in 1838, and came to the U. S. in 1840. He married Miss L. A. Seigfried in 1863, and came to Wash. in 1869, purchasing a small trading-post and some land from his wousia, J. J. Conner, and taking a pre-emption claim on the tide-lands. He soon became wealthy, but died in 1884, his wife and 9 children surviving him; Ida R., who married W. H. Talbot; Herbert S., who managed the estate; Lillian J., Mary V., Francis J., Louisa A., Guy W., Martin E., and William.

Another of the thriving modern northern towns is Snohomish City, situated at the head of navigation on the Snohomish River, in the midst of an extensive tract of agricultural and timbered country. Its founder was E. C. Ferguson, who, assisted by other progressive citizens, imparted to the place a character for enterprise unusual in towns of its size and age which have been planted in a new agricultural and lumbering country. Ferguson was born in N. Y. in 1832. He came to Cal. in 1854, and went to I'raser River in 1858. Returning unsuccessful, he tarried a while in Steilacoom, aud labored at carpentering until 1860, when he, with E. F. Cady, located upon the land where Snohomish City now stands. They were successful from the first in their undertakings. Ferguson has been a merchant, has held several county offices, has served four terms in the legislative council of the territory, and one in the lower house. Morse's Wash. Ter., MS., xxi. 13-14; Portland

COUNTIES AND TOWNS.

West Shore, Dec. 1876; Seattle Tribune, Oct. 22, 1875. Then there were Clark and Theron Ferguson, Isaac Cathcart, a native of Ireland; A. C. Fol- som, born in N. H. in 1827, a man of travel and numerous adventures in the service of the government; J. H. Plaskett, George G. England, L. Wilbur from Michigan, the Blackburn brothers and J. H. Hilton from Maine, Henry F. Jackson, W. H. Ward, William Whitfield from England, H. A. Gregory, and C. A. Missimer. Mr Morse, from whom I obtained a valuable series of manuscripts on Washington in 23 vols, was a resident of Snohomish City, where he published the Northern Star newspaper in 1876-9. He was born

in Ct, April 14, 1847. At the age of 18 he enlisted in the battalion of engi- neer troops, U. S. A., and was discharged at the end of 3 years in S. F., whence he returned to Ct and removed to Iowa. In 1870 he graduated from the law school of the Michigan university, and practised in Alhia, Iowa, until 1872, when he came to Snohomish City and engaged in law practice there, starting the first newspaper. After discontinuing his paper he trav- elled extensively about the Sound, picking up every species of information, a portion of which I have embodied in this history. Morris H. Frost was a pioneer at Mukilteo. He was born in N. Y. in 1806, removing to Mich. in 1832, and to Chicago, Ill., in 1849, immigrating thence in 1852 to Or. and settling at Steilacoom the following summer. In 1856 he was appointed collector of customs in place of I. N. Ebey, which position he occupied until 1860. It is claimed that he erected the first brick building on Puget Sound in 1857 for a custom-house, the same later occupied by N. D. Hill for a drug-store. In 1861 he removed to Mukilteo with Jacob D. Fowler, another New Yorker, where they were engaged in merchandising, fishing, beer-brewing, and hotel- keeping. With the selfish policy which hindered other new settlements, they refused to sell real estate; hence when other towns sprang up which com- peted for the trade of the country, they had no settlers near them to sustain business. About 1880 they consented to sell, and quite a settlement sprang up at Mukilteo, which, lying in the path of all the steamboats that ply east of Whidbey Island, caught considerable trade. Besides Mukilteo, on the Sound, was Lowell, nine miles up the Snohomish River, Tulalip Indian agency, at the mouth of that river, Qualco, at the mouth of the Skikomish, and Stamwood, on the tide-flats of the Stillaquamish, which in 1884 were all the towns in Snohomish county. The last-mentioned settlement is largely Norwegian. That people have a neat church, lutheran, at Stamwood, erected in 1879, and a pastor of their own nationality. The main Norwe- gian settlement was made between 1876 and 1880, both on the tidc-flats and up the river. Martin and Christian Tafteson immigrated to the U. S. from the north of Norway in 1848, and to Puget Sound in 1851, settling at Oak Harbor, near the mouth of the Skagit. Christian Tafteson was born in 1816 and married in 1840. From 1833 to 1845 he was a trader at Alten Parish, 50 miles south of Hammerfest, west Lapland. He afterward resided in east Lapland, and was a landsman, or sheriff, as well as municipal chairman and court interpreter of the Tapish and Finnish languages, with which, and the Swedish and English, he was well acquainted. A thriving agricultural sct- tlement was pioneered by H. D. Morgan and sons, millmen, on the Pill Chuck Creek, a stream flowing into the Snohomish just above Snohomish City. H. D. Morgan was Indian agent at Tulalip. He was of service in the Indian war in controlling the neutrals, and established the reservation on Squaxon Island in Nov. 1855. Morse, MS., iv. 116. He was not one of the earli- est settlers of the co., but located there about 1874. W. B. Sinclair, formerly of Port Madison, was ten years earlier, and Mary E., his wife, was the first white woman who settled in the county. She was a daughter of J. N. Low of Seattle, pioneer of Alki Point. Sinclair was the first regular merchant of Snohomish. He died about 1870 or 1871; Mrs Sinclair continued to reside at Snohomish City.

The Snoqualimich prairie, which is in King county, above the Snoquali- mich Falls, was first settled in 1859, by J. Borst, Spencer Kellogg, O. E. Kellogg, and A. C. Kimball. About the same time Frederick Dunbar, R. Bizer,

MINOR SETTLEMENTS

Patterson, and one other man located themselves on Griffin prairie, below the falls; and the following year Peter Peterson, M. Peterson, Robert Smallman, Joseph Ferris, and his wife Lucinda, on Snoqualimich prairie. Mrs Ferris was the first white woman in the Snoqualimich valley. Fall City is the name of a settlement two or three miles below the cataract of the Snoquali- mich river. Other post-office stations to the number of ten or a dozen were all to be found in King county in 1884.

In Clallam county were Neah bay, New Dungeness, and the remains of Port Angeles. Jefferson co., besides Port Townsend, had the ports of Lud- low, Discovery, and the new mining town of Irondale. Island co. had Coupe- ville, founded by Thomas Coupe, who settled on the south side of Penn Cove in 1853, and Coveland, on the west end of the Cove, both on Whidbey island, and Utsalady, on the north end of Camafin island. Kitsap co. had four milling towns-Port Madison, Port Blakeley, Port Gamble, and Seabeck. Mason, besides the county seat, had but Arcadia, Kamilchie, Skokomish, and Union City, none of them of any commercial importance. Thurston co. had, besides Olympia and Tumwater, Tenino, Oakville, Beaver, and Tenalqnot, all insig- nificant places. Lewis co. had not a single town of any consequence. After Chehalis, the county seat-which was laid off in 1873, on the donation claim of S. S. Saunders and wife, and called Saundersville until recently- come Claquato, Skookum Chuck, Mossy Rock, Napavine, Newaukum, Silver Creek, Winlock, Glen Eden, Boisfort, Little Falls, and Cowlitz, all without interest in this history, except Claquato, which, being a prettily situated place, the earliest American town in the county, and for a long time the county seat, deserves more than a passing mention. It was the centre of an agricultural district, and before the completion of the Olympia and Tenino railroad was upon the mail route from the Columbia to Puget sound, as well as at the head of navigation on the Chehalis, and had several roads radiat- ing from it. Julien Bernier, native of Quebec, died June 8, 1871, at Newau- kum prairie, aged 87 years. He came to Astoria with the Astor co. in 1812, and remained in the service of Astor's successors. He went to Red river, married, and resided there a few years, but returned to Washington to settle permanently. His son Marcellus became a resident of Newaukum prairie. Olympia Transcript, June 17, 1871. Lewis H. Davis, a native of Vt, crossed the plains in 1851 from Ind., and settled in Claquato. 1Ie died Nov. 18, 1864, aged 72 years. He had prospered greatly in his new home. Olympia Standard, Nov. 26, 1864. Turner Richerson Roundtree was the old- est son of Dudley Roundtree of Green River, Ky, where he was born in 1795. He served under Harrison in the war of 1812, and took part in the battles of Thames, Malden, etc. He married Miss Ferguson, a Scotch woman, a cousin of Patrick Henry. In 1830 he removed to Ill., serving as a lieut in the Black Hawk war. He was frequently tendered nominations for office, but invaria- bly declined. On coming to Washington in 1853 he settled on Boisfort prai- rie, where he amassed a comfortable fortune, besides expending his means freely upon public works, and in hospitalities. His family consisted of 7 children, 35 grandchildren, and 10 great-grandehildren. He died March 21, 1868, on board the steamer Carrie Davis, en route to his home from Claquato. Other early settlers were H. Buchanan 1852, A. F. Tullis 1853, John Hague 1852, George Hagne 1854, C. F. White 1852, Albert Purcell 1859. Morse's Wash. Ter., MS., ii. 70-1.

Montesano became the principal town in Chehalis county. At Gray Har- bor resided Alexander C. Smith, who was a native of Jacksonville, Ill., and came to Or. in 1852. He finally settled in Pacific co., but was at one time associate justice of the sup. ct of Idaho. He died at Kalama, May 9, 1875. Walla Walla Union, May 22, 1875. Cosmopolis, Elma, Satsop, Sharon, Cedarville, and Hoquiam were the other settlements in this county.

Oysterville was made the county seat of Pacific county. The origi- nal owner was J. A. Clark, who located it in 1854. The other settle- ments were Willopah, Bruceport, Centreville, or Bay Centre, South Bend, Riverside, Woodard Landing, Ilwaco, Chinook, Knappton, Gray River, and

COUNTIES AND TOWNS.

Brookfield. Brueeport was the oldest settlement. I have given elsewhere some names of the first eomers. John Briscoe, from Newtown, settled on Shoalwater Bay in Sept. 1852. B. Loomis, from N. Y., arrived in Cal. in 1849, and eame to Pacifie eo. in 1850. G. Y. Easterbrook, from R. I., brought the ship Pacific to S. F. in 1849. In 1850 he came to Or., and settled in 1853 at West Beach, Shoalwater Bay, giving up the sea in 1859. J. L. Stout, born in Ohio in 1822, came to Cal. in 1850, and the same year to Or., but did not settle at Oysterville till 1859. Other settlers were Benjamin Hutton, Os- borne Goulter, Espy, and Albert Fisher. Morse's Wash. Ter., MS., ii. 85-7. Mrs Gilbert Stevens was the first white woman who settled at Oysterville. She died March 1, 1877, aged 55 years. Olympia Transcript, March 7, 1877.

Kalama was made the county seat of Cowlitz. It came into existence in Feb. 1870 as the initial point of the Northern Pacific railway on the north bank of the Columbia iu western Washington, and after a brief period of prosperity fell into decay. The other towns of Cowlitz eo. were Martin's Bluff, Carroll, Monticello, Freeport, Mount Coffin, Oak Point, Cowlitz, Pekin, Silver Lake, and Oleqna. Seth Catlin, a pioneer of Freeport, was a member of the first territorial legislature, and was elected to the Oregon legislature in 1852 to fill a vacancy in the council caused by the resignation of Lancaster. He was president of the council of Washington in 1855 and 1856. His son, Robert Catlin, was appointed to West Point by delegate Stevens, and grad- nated with honor, receiving his commission as lieut of the 5th art. in 1863. In 1871 Seth Catlin, while en route to Texas, was drowned in the Arkansas River. Olympia Tribune, Aug. 26, 1871; Bancroft's Hand-Book, 1864, 334; W. W. Statesman, Oct. 17, 1863.

Cathlamet, county seat of Walkiakum county, built upon a bench of land on the north bank of the Columbia thirty-five miles from its mouth, had few inhabitants, and little business besides Warren's fishery. James Birnie, one of the oldest H. B. Co.'s men, lived here many years. James Allen, also of the company, lived some time with the family of Birnie. Here died George B. Roberts, whose biography forms an interesting portion of the history of western Washington. Eagle Cliff was a fishing establishment and village, Skamokawa a farming settlement on a creek of that name, and Waterford, the most eastern river settlement of the county. Salmon-canning and butter- inaking were in 1885 leading industries in all these places. Hangood and William Hume planted the pioneer salmon cannery at Eagle Cliff.

William Hume came to Cal. in 1850 from Augusta, Me, and engaged in salmon-fishing in the Sacramento River, and was joined in a year or two by his brothers, George W. and John. George W. returned to Mainc, and meet- ing an old schoolmate, Andrew S. Hapgood, who was a tinner, and who had some knowledge of canning fish, they together formed a plan for fish-canning on the Sacramento should it meet William Hume's views, who found it sat- isfactory, and who sent for Hapgood and his brother, Robert D. Hume, in 1864. For various reasons, it was found unprofitable canning salmon at Sac- ramento. They then determined to try the fish and elimate of the Columbia River, sending William Ilume in 1866 to spy out the land. The only fisher- ics on the Washington side of the Columbia at this time were three, which put up fish in barrels: one owned by Reed & Hodgkins at Oak Point, one by Fitzpatrick at Tenas Illihee, and another by Welsh. William was joined by George W. Hume, and an establishment was erected in 1866 at Eagle Cliff, which in the following year put up 4,000 cases of salmon, which found a ready sale. In 1867 George W. retired from the business at Eagle Cliff, and built a second factory one fourth of a mile below the first, William and Hap- good carrying on the business of Hapgood, Hume, & Co., and Robert D. soon after withdrawing from the firm to join his brother George W. at the lower fishery. In 1870 Hapgood and Hume sold their establishment to Robert D. Hume, who subsequently also sold it, and built another at Bay View, and also one on Rogne River. The Humes, who were the pioneers in salmon- canning, have made half a million dollars each in the business. From a dicta- tion by Robert D. Hume, MS.
