Told by the Pioneers obtain supplies but are reluctant to give two beaver per blanket. To say the least of it, it was the most blind policy to begin the trade here in the spring at one beaver per blanket when there were no opposition on the coast with the intention of afterwards raising the price to two. Circumstanced as we have been here it has been no agreeable job to raise the price to two as it exposed us to constant jawings with the natives who are still in bad humor on that account. The reducing of prices is an easy business, but to raise them a difficult one at all times and ought never to be done but in cases of absolute necessity. January 1834 ·Wednesdav 1st. Gave the men a blowout similar to that which • they had on Christmas day which afforded them ample enjoyment. The frost weather continues. Thursday 2nd. The men were not required to work today as they are rather indisposed after yesterdays debauch. 'iVeather still frosty. Friday 3rd. All hands resumed their former occupation that is to say, two were employed sawing' planks and the rest squaring oak logs for Bastions. 'iVeather as above. Saturdav 4th. As yesterday. ... .' ... Sunda'- 5th. The weather still frostv. Manv Indians are on the • • • ground offering up their devotions to their maker. ::\fonday 6th. Two men sawing and the rest preparing wood for bastions, and as they "viII continue so employed during the week it will be unnecessary to report their work daily. Rained during the night and most part of the day-Some business done in the way of traffic with the natives. Saturday 11th. The weeks work of the people has been miserable little has been done and that little verv badly done-which is however • • not o\\ing to the disinclination of the men to do their work well but to their incapacity. Sunday 12th. Many of the neighboring Indians assembled to go through their devotions, and it is very satisfactory to perceive that they at length begin to think seriously on religious subjects. W eather • nunv. • Monday 13th. The people employed as during the past week, name ]:-, sawing' squaring oak wood for bastions, cutting firewood etc. Traded some beaver from the Indians who arrived yesterday. Weather as vesterdav. • • Tuesday 14th. Sent off five men in a boat to Fort Langley for 28
Told by the Pioneers some supplies and for the accounts of that plan for Outfit. I would have gone myself had I a proper person to leave in charge here. The rest of the men employed in sawing and roofing the dwelling house. Snowed heavily in the afternoon. Wednesday 15th. Two men sawing, two cutting firewood and two sick. Weather frosty. Snowed heavily during the night. Traded 15 made beaver. Thursday 16th. The men employed as yesterday. Snowed much during last night and this day. No trade. Friday 17th. Had the last of the covering of the big house put on. Owing to the badness of our saw, and sawyers- we made but slow progress at cutting boards, as indeed we have done along at every kind of 'work owing to the incapacity of our people - Those not employed at the covering of the house, were occupied at cutting and 11auling home firewood. 'Weather verY cold. • Saturday 18th. The people all employed at cutting and bringing home firewood. The weather conti.nues very cold, and there is about two feet deep of snow on the ground. Friday 24th. Sent two men to the Nisqually to kill game, but it appears that the cold weather has driven them all a,vay, so our hunters returned empty handed. The rest of our people finished squaring the Bastions Logs. - vVeather cold. Saturday 25th. Sent foul' men, with five horses a deer hunting; the rest of the people employed squaring posts for the bastions. Clear cold weather as for some time past. Sunday 26th. Weather very clear and cold. A good many Indians about the place performing their religious duties, in which they have become very punctual. Monday 27th. Two men employed cutting firewood and two squaring' posts for Bastions - All the Indians who assembled yesterday left early this morning for their several camps. 'Weather as yesterday. Tuesday 28th. The people employed as yesterday. ",Veather also the same - clear and cold. Some Cowlitz Ind's arrived, with a fe'" beaver but did not trade by reason, they say our goods are too dear. These fellows have already traded at two beaver per blanket, and they again make a stand: so difficult is it to change a tariff with them. ViTednesday 29th. Two men employed squaring wood for bastions two cutting fire"'ood - The four men who went a hunting on the 25th returned unsuccessful having killed only one deer which they eat the whole except one joint - An Indian arriYed with the unpleasant intel- 29
