Told by the Pioneers Traveled by Canoe Just prior to the creation of Pierce County and the building of the courthouse at Steilacoom, the Thurston County commissioners were to meet in Olympia. 0ne of them, who lived in Seattle, left home on a Sunday and did not arrive for the meeting until the following Wed. nesday afternoon, his trip by canoe having been delayed by storms. This resulted in a movement to establish a road from Olympia to the new town of Seattle, and three of the early settlers were appointed to locate it. While they were doing the work, Pierce County was created and the Thurston County commissioners refused to pay the bill. The old courthouse was the scene of stormy times, with Justice Edmund Lander holding court there. Trouble had arisen between the white settlers and the Indians. Governor Stevens set aside civil law by declaring martial law, but it was not until troops sent by the Governor marched into the courtroom that Justice Lander would recognize it. Justice Lander was removed to Olympia, where he shortly opened court and held Governor Stevens in contempt, but was again arrested bv the military authorities and held in custody . for some time. After " his release and when he was again holding court, Governor Stevens appeared before him and was held in contempt of court, paid a fine of $50 and then as governor, remitted the fine of Isaac 1. Stevens. It was in the old courthouse that the famous Indian Leschi was tried for murder. The jury could not agree, and he subsequently was tried at Olympia, found guilty and sentenced to be hanged. The expcution took place about a mile east of Fort Steilacoom. "ROYAL FAJllLY" OF THE OLYJIPICS Trashingtoll State, Believe it or not, has Its Own Jefferson County • Port Townsend, June 16, 1936. Few kno\J, it, but \Vashington has its own Prince of Wales, born about 75 years ago on the exact site of the principal business corner in downtown Port Townsend. The prince's Indian name is Lahanim. He is the son of the Duke of York and Queen Victoria, now long dead. The Duke of York was chief of the Clallam Indian tribe and his domain extended from Clallam Bay to Port Townsend. Early white settlers named the" Royal family of the Olympics" because most of the native names defied pronunciation. 222
Told by the Pioneers Ruler by Birth The prince, soft-spoken, is a natiYe ruler by birth, tradition and right, and his judgment in Indian affairs is sound. "Our people are few where once they were many," he said today. "Automobiles are taking the place of the old canoe in traveling, and mayhe it is better. We build better homes, travel further, perhaps, but I cannot say whether there is greater happiness among us than our fathers and mothers found. I speak as an Indian who is growing old. " The prince said he did not know what became of his royal uncle, King George, who did not get along well with the Duke of York. "One dav.,., manv .. veal'S ao'o ;::" " the }H'ince recounted ,b "King' Oeoro'e put out in his canoe and said he was going to W·hidby Island. We do not kno,,' what became of him. Had Oue Son "This King George had one son. His name is Thomas Jefferson, and he lives on the Lummi reseryation near Bellingham." The prince has one son living, David Prince. He is ,,'ell-knmnl as a rancher living at Jamestown, toward Dung'eness. Fifteen years ago the prince, living at Sco,,' Bay, across from here, put out from his home in a canoe during a storm and saved the lives of three persons on a wrecked sloop. Attempts to obtain a Carnegie medal for him failed, although the rescued persons signed papers attesting' the prince's heroism. The Port Townsend Chamber of Commerce ga\'e him a gold watch, suitahl~' engraYed, however, at a large gathering at which he and his family were guests of honor. 223
