Thats an entertaining introduction to the Washington Territory.
On the Olympic Peninsula it is even more fun---Chimicum, Moclips, Taholah, 
LaPush, Ozette, Clallam Bay, Neah Bay (Nunez de Gaona Bahia Blanka), Pysht, 
Elwa, Hoh.
It would be nice to put up signs like Sasquatch Crossing---where locals have 
seen these beings.

That's a Jargon surname we've talked about before.  (See the archives of
this list.)

http://tokencatalog.com/display_records.php?SearchString=hyasman&SubmitFilter=Search&action=DisplayRecords

Here's a listing, in a catalog of Washington tokens, of a 5-cent piece for
trade with "Frank Hyasman" of Taholah.

There are also tokens listed from Pilchuck, Washington and a Pilchuck Saloon
in Woodland, WA.

I also noticed one from The Tyee in Seattle.

So there's a bit of a Jargon presence in early Washington numismatics!

By the way, when I was out walking in Spokane with my kids the other day, we
found what must be an old garbage dump containing LOTS of antique bottles,
buttons, china, and cans.  Some must be a century old, judging by a few
minutes of googling.  (Now I realize that some other items I've picked up by
the Spokane River etc. must be equally old.)

This reminded me of the infamous "Waw-Waw" bottle that we've discussed in
the past.  Now that there's lots more info on the Internet, including some
very clear images, it appears that that bottle had no relation to Chinook
Jargon.  It's from a popular manufacturer of hot sauce!
