Indian Chief Engraving Tribal Records on Skyscraping Cedar Pole. HAS ENTHUSIASM OF ARTIST When Work Is Completed the Pole Will Stand in Front of the School for the Tribe to Keep Fresh Legendary History. Portlund, Ore.—In these days of profiteering and wild scrambles for the almighty dollar, it is a consolation to find one man in the world who is not money mad and who is working and has been working assiduously for the last five years all for an ideal and with no ulterior thought of pecuniary gain spurring him on. The remarkable part of it is that this artist, for he is an artist of the highest type, is a full-blooded American Indian chief, he answers to the name of William Shelton, and when not busy perfecting his life work, a monstrous and skyscraping totem pole upon which is inscribed the history of the Snohoish tribe, he supervises the running of the Indian reservation school at Tulallp. Although Shelton is well educated and thoroughly familiar with the world of business, he prefers to devote his time and attention toward the fulfillment of an ideal. Generations ago Indians lost the art of totem carving, and he is the only known totem pole maker in the world today. Five Years Consumed. To date shall on this work worked during his spare time more than five years on the gigantic post. This work has been accomplished aside from his duties as head of the reservation school.
