u.c. printed on paper label: 978. OL-HA-THE, or George Harvey. \ Chief of the confederated tribes of Indians of Siletz \ reservation, Oregon, lineal descendant of a long line \ of Rogue River chiefs, was captured when a small boy \ at the Rogue river war between the United States \ forces and the Rogue River tribes of Southern Oregon, \ and carried to the Siletz reservation, where he has \ lived ever since. He is a fine speaker, and has acted \ many years as an interpreter. This office having \ brought him into close and constant contact with Amer- \ ican civilization, he long ago abandoned his aborigi- \ nal habits and religion, and adopted the customs and \ faith of the whites. He is well known throughout \ Oregon, and is held in the highest esteem. He has \ been complimented by the judges everywhere for his \ integrity and intelligence, and both by his loyalty and \ education is a living proof of the folly and wicked- \ ness of the theory that the Indian can neither be civil- \ ized nor be made the friend of the white race.
c. in graphite: Shasta- \ Neg. No. 2606
