Yesler, W. P. Boyd and Lewis M. Starr. On October 2. 1899, members of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer excursion presented to the city a totem pole which they had sectired from Tongas Island, Alaska, with the reqtiest that it be I)laced on Pioneer Place. This totem pole, fifty-two feet in height, is a section of a large cedar, and was erected amid imposing ceremonies at the north end of the triangle. Not a long time after, trouble was made for the city and the donors by the Alaska Indians, former... possessors of the totem, who claimed that it had been stolen from them. The entire story has never been told, but many rumors floated about that the Indians were not so much concerned with the totem as certain lawyers in Alaska who -were anxious to get the fees which the proceedings would make. DE. \RBORX P. \RK This was formerly the Somerville Tract No. 2, but the name was later changed to Dearborn Park in honor of its donors, George F. Dearborn and his wife, who gave it to the city for park purposes December 9, 1887.
