FORTY-FOOT GIFT FOR RIDEAU HALL This totem pole is one of the finest examples of Indian art. Right, Their Excellencies Viscount and Lady Willingdon and the i first vice-regal C.P.S.S. "Princess W hen Viscount Willingdon, Gov- ernor-General of Canada, and Lady Willingdon visited the West Coast of Vancouver Island on the inaugural cruise of the new 'Can- adian Pacific steamer "Princess Norah" two new epochs were mark- ed for that far-flung corner of the Dominion. It was the first time that a Can- adian Viceroy had ever seen, and in turn, been seen on the rugged coast that is now looming as one of the nation's important industrial and tourist regions; further the arrival of the Norah brought the most luxurious passenger steamer ever to ply in regular service in West Coast waters, now to be the permanent run of the staunch little Clyde-built vessel. The West Coast had decked itself in gala attire for the visit of the great white chief from Ottawa, tremendous excitement prevailing among whites and Indians alike at the various ports of ¢all. Local in- terest was heightened by the fact that Their Excellencies cast for- mality to the four winds, and en- tered into the spirit of the many recéptions and celebrations with a zest not exceeded by any tourist on the 'coast. Incidentally, Lord Willingdon intimated after the ter- Norah" on which the mination of his voyage that it would not be the last occasion on which-he would see that particular part of Vancouver Island. Loyalty of the Indians, evident at all points touched, was partic- ularly demonstrated at Friendly Cove, historic spot discovered by Captain Cook in 1778, when a lineal descendant of the great Chief Maquinna, who first saw the white man, gathered his Aribe, the Nootka Indian band, in the great council hall to greet the vice-regal party. It was here that Lord and Lady Willingdon were recipients of one of the most valuable gifts in the bestowal of the coast Indians, a huge forty-foot totem pole that has stood for years on the sandy shores of Friendly Cove, the envy of collectors from many parts of the world. Presentation of the totem was touching in its simplicity yet its significance was not lost. Chief Napoleon, head of the Nootka Band, descendant of Maquinna, was first to extend the Indians' official welcome, elaborate ceremony which included the famous dance of the Thunder Bird, marking this part of the rites. Later, the Indians led the yice-regal party to the site of a huge totem pole standing near tour of the west coast of Vancouver Island was made. the council hall, and Chief Jack, another of the Nootka Band, mounted the pedestal to deliver an impassioned peroration in his na- tive tongue. His Excellency stood attentively until the Indian Chief had finished his speech, taking it, probably, for the usual honeyed words of wel- come. His astonishment. and that of many of the chief's hearers was great when "Billy" Lord, well- known industrial leader on the west coast, acting in the role of un- official interpreter, told His Excel- lency that Captain Jack had pre- sented the big forty-foot carving as a gift. Significance of the gift lies in the tremendous value which the Indians themselves place on their historical totems. It would have been a somewhat parallel case, one of the men familiar with west coast customs said, if a white man, on being visited by vice-royalty, had with one magnificent gesture given away his home and_ the greater part of his fortune. ~ Their Excellencies, sensing this, accepted the gift with delight, and announced that plans would be made to have it removed from its | Present historical setting to Rideau Hall as soon as possible.
