_Ne-ah-keluc_—A large Indian village at Point Adam’s, name signifying “Place of Okeluc,” or, where the _Okeluc_ is made; “_Okeluc_” being salmon pemmican. _E-will-tsil-hulth_—A high sand hill, or broken end of a sea ridge, facing the sea beach about west of the “Carnahan” place, meaning steep hill. _E-wil-nes-culp_—A flat-topped hill against the beach about west of the “West” place, meaning “Hill cut off.” _Ne-ah-ko-win_—Village on the beach about west of the “Morrison” place, where the Ohanna Creek once discharged into the ocean. _Ne-ah-coxie_—Village at the mouth of Neacoxie Creek. _Ne-co-tat_—Village at Seaside. _Ne-hay-ne-hum_—Indian lodge up the Necanicum Creek. _Ne-ahk-li-paltli_—A place near Elk Creek where an edible plant, the Eckutlipatli, was found. _Ne-kah-ni_—A precipice overlooking the ocean, meaning the abode of _Ekahni_, the supreme god; called “Carnie Mountain” by the whites. _Ne-tarts_—Netarts. _Nestucca._ _Tlats-kani_—A point in Nehalem Valley reached either by way of Young’s River, or the Clatskanie; and hence the name “Claskanine” for the branch of Young’s River, and “Clatskanie” for the stream above Westport. In saying “_tlastani_,” the Indians meant neither of those streams, but merely the place where they were going to or coming from; but with usual carelessness the whites applied it to both. There were two lakes on Clatsop plains, one of which was called _O-mo-pah_, Smith’s Lake: and the other, much larger, _Ya-se-ya-ma-na-la-tslas-tie_, which now goes by the name of an Indian, _Oua-i-cul-li-by_, or simply _Culliby_. The name of Cape Hancock was _Wa-kee-tle-he-igh_; _Ilwaco_, _Comcomby_, _Chenamas_, _Skamokoway_, _Kobaiway_, _Tostam_, and _Totilhum_, were chiefs. These chiefs’ names illustrate some of the peculiarities of Indian pronunciation. _Kobaiway_, who was the Clatsop chief when Lewis and Clark came, was called by them _Comowool_; _Tostam_ was sometimes called _Tostab_; and _Totilhum_, “a powerful man of the people,” had the Columbia River called after him by some whites. Seeing some Indians coming down the great stream with camas, etc., they asked where they obtained this: “From _Totilhum_,” was the reply; meaning that they had been on a visit to the chief. Then thinking they had made a great discovery, the whites announced that the Columbia was called _Totilhum_. _Totilhum_ was chief of the Cathlamets, who originally had their village on the Oregon side, near Clifton. INDIAN NAMES OF PLACES IN THE WILLAMETTE VALLEY—SOME CHIEFS. _Ni-a-kow-kow_—St. Helens. A noted Indian chief here was _Ke-as-no_. He was made a friend by the Hudson’s Bay Company, was given fine presents, and entrusted with the duty of firing a salute to the company’s vessels as they came in sight up the river.
