Martin Sampson: Well, they, when I came, fishing was the main thing. Fishing. The first time, I remember we went to Lopez Island and there was two families, Bob Edwards and Billy Edwards, there were seniors, they had two half brothers Charlie and Dick Edwards. They were from Swinomish, Dick Edwards and then, their mother was from the Swinomish, their father Amish, come from Duwamish Island The cannery was started over here, west of Anacortes and so they had these people here, they gave them, they had reef nets long before the coming of the white man so, these two brothers, four brothers got together and they went up to Lopez island: and their fish nets and they were so primitive. I guess at that time I was around four or five, anyhow, as I remember it. I laugh about it once in awhile. They gave them ropes and nets, anchors, so they could anchor these reef nets, these people so primitive, they said that Sock Eye would not follow the net, they'd have to make ropes twisted cedar to make ropes . They (Laughs) They didn't wouldn't use anchors, they would use big boulders. catch a lot of fish, that's the first time I went fishing, and to go on with that story, I remember that, there was a big field day, it used to be in Olympia for quite a while, the ranchers around here were settling, oh there was Apple Creek and so on and anyhow they had a ball field where they had been fishing, first catch from this here reef net, they roasted them then they was a procession clear around this ball field, and they were singing the tunes of this sock eye, because this sock eye, was a relative of theirs going back into the sea where the, one of the Samish girls had married into the people from the Sea. The land of the Sock Eye Salmon so they were giving thanks to the spirit who brought the salmon, they went clear around and they came back, then they spread everything on the head tables and spread it on the ground there, everybody ate. When they got through eating and there was a big baseball game, but the thing is that they still believe in they had to have the ways that the spirit guide, they had a spirit guide that helped them with their fishing. But then they continued, after the fishing was or the Cannery was developed many canneries came in there. My folks worked up there every summer. One summer we was over to Chuckman Bay, there was a Cannery there. I worked there for five cents an hour, put tins on top of these cans of salmon, we used to have to puncture the top of the can, where the steam came in, then they solder it afterwards, well this little piece of tin we put on there to keep the solder from going into the fish meat, well that was my job, five cents an hour, put in ten hours at a time, I've been working since I was that small, but then I got work when I was fourteen I left from there. But then I had learned something about this fishing camp, steam and so on and so on, well that was the main thing. Of course, they went hop picking When the fishermen wasn't working, he'd come up here to Puyallup. 1903, was the last time we come. But that was the main thing, fisheries, hopping and of course the younger men, some worked in the logging camps and the lumber mills, but my parents worked at the fisheries.
