"On December 17, 1894, Dr Willis E. Everette was given an honorary 
commission to collect linguistic and other material among the aborigines of 
Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and western Mexico, and from time to 
time he has submitted valuable linguistic material produced by his 
researches in these provinces. Especially noteworthy contributions during 
the year relate to the T?né or Athapascan Indians of Oregon."

This guy collected a number of Jargon items, from Lake Chelan in Washington 
to Chilkat in Alaska.

Anyone here know more about him?
