(Stockton Record, 5-2t-26>

An exact copy of thc famous Seattle totem pole was erected this morning at the Fisher Bros. Lumber and Mill Co. on Wilson Way.

The pole is madc of the same material and with the same carvings as the-world-known pole in Seattlc and only difrers in that it,is just half size. The Siockton pole is 35 feet high and 2 fect in cir' cumference.

A. H. Fisher, one of the members of thc firm of Fisher Bros., conceived the idea of erecting the totcm pole in Stockton somc years ago. He had made a visit to Seattle and had admired the pole there. Some time after he returned to this city he secured the large cedar pole from Alaska, the sam€ sort of stick that was used by the Indians in making the original pole, and for the l,ast four years the pole has been weathering in the local lumber yard.

Several photographs were secured showing the carvings on thc pole at Seattle and the work of making the reproduction was turned over to George W. Ingersoll, well-known local boat builder and wood worker. The work of carving the pole was finished only yesterday.

Origin of Totem Poles

Totem poles, as far as can be learned, are a sort of family history or "glorification" used by certain Indian tribes in the North-Siwashes and others-and are also an article of veneration. fn the Seattle pole, as copied here, is the history of one certain family, showing its descent from the eagle, which appears to have been venerated highly by the tribe.

Figures Carved on Pole

The first section of the pole, near the ground, is carved to represent an eagle, but with the face of a man. The next section up is supposed to bc a whalg head down, with a large fin sticking out and with his tail curved over his back.

Next comes a rav€n and above him a beaver. Sti[ higher is a frog.

Above this is a representation of a human being, shown crouched and holding a child upside down to its chest. Topping the pole is an eagle holding a fish in his mouth.

Seattle's Totem Pole

Little authentic knowledge exists of the exact moaning or significance of the di.fferent characters on the poles-historians differ, and the Indians say vcry little about what they mean.

The original of thc local pole, the one located now at Seattle, was discovered on one of thc Tongass islands, southcast of Alaska, by a party of Seattle business men in 1899.

It, too, was carved from a einglc tree by the tribe of Indians that inhabited the island on which it was found. The Seattle people are said to have "secured" it and later presented it to the city of Seattle, where it now decorates onc of thc squares in the heart of the city. Most dircctions in Seattle are given "from the totcm pole" and rnost of thc things to see in that city are located by its aid. "Go to the totem pole," the visitor is told, "and then go east" or "go wesg" as tfie case may be.

The local men hope to make the pole here a similar landmark. It will, they say, last many, many years, as it is built of cedar.
