SHREWD NATIVE CHIEF
MAY HAVE BEEN HYPNOTIST
Did Stikwan. high chief and medicine
man of the Copper River Indians, have a
knowledge of hypnotism, and if so. where
did he get it and how long have the medi
cine men of the tribe possessed the know]
edge? Or is it possible that Stikwan per
sonally discovered his own mesmeric powei
and kept it a secret, applying it as a means
of holding his autocratic position among the
members of the tribe:' These questions are
propounded by the Valdez Miner, which then
relates the following:
The following tale is told by members
i f the tribe retarding the power of the great
chief, which indicates that hypnotism or
suspended animation, or some similar power,
played an inqxirtant part in the ceremony
of the medicine man. It is said thut once,
while in the height of his power and vigor.
Stikwan announced to the tribe that his
wife had died. There was wailing and
moaning, and the members of the trioe
were called* in to view the body. There it
lay, within the house of death, apparently
ffi rigor mortis. It was proposed that the
women prepare the body for burial, but the
big chief said them nay. He announced
that the woman’s spirit had mamooked to
a far country, and that at the end of three
davs she would return and he would call
her back to life.
At the stated time, and in the presence
rf many members of the tribe, with passes
and beatings upon the native drums, he

commanded life to return to the body of .
die woman, and behold! within a short time
he displayed signs of returning conscious
ness; and later arose from her couch and I
walked, living for many years, a witness
to the miraculous powers of the hyas tyee.
To the natives it appeared that Stikwan i
was possessed of the power to restore life,
: nil this fact added greatly to his prestige. ,
Stikwan. from the stories told of him, imr-t j
have been a native of unusual accompli.-fi .
ments an.' hi- hold upon the natives was
absolute. In trade with the white men he
wa- as shrewd as the best of them, aim
i r.drr his rule the tribe was we 1 supplied
■it!: f.io-i. including many luxuries, as tea.
sugar, flour, clothing and blankets. That
h had power over life and death is, of
course, absurd from a wiiite man’s point of
view, but not to the native. Some power
he did possess that enabled him to put the
woman in a trance and then to bring her
hack to consciousness. That lie did not
possess power over deatli is at once ap
pai-'iit when it is stated that in due course
of time Stikwan went the way of all flesh
and carried his secret with him.
His son and successor evidently did not
possess the power, but lie was nevertheless
a good bluffer, in the course of time his
wife died. In this case there was no trance J
or temporarily suspended animation. The (
woman was dead. With hi- father’s ex- .
: tuple before him. and desiring to stand on
in equality with in.- predecessor before the
tribe as a chief and medicine man. he elm
announced that in three days he would re
store life to the woman. When the time
came he gathered the tribe about and com
menced the mystic ceremonies of his craft,
but his passes and incantations were with
out avail, for the spirit had departed, and
not all his boasted prowess could bring it
back. Chief he was. and remained so, but
he had list caste, and was never again
looked up to by his followers.
Old Stikwan’e spirit, the natives say. took
up it- abode in Mount Wrangell, and when
the volcanic smoke wells up above the peaks
the natives say his camp fire is burning
briskly, and that some day he will return
and restore his tribe in numbers, power
and grandeur as in the days before the fatal
coming of the white man.
TEACH CHILDREN DISLOYALTY
Children of German families attending
the high school at Sumpter, Ore., who re- ;
fused to salute the American flag were ex
pe'led on March 29. “Patriotic week" w-as
being observed throughout the state, and pa
triotic exercises were being held. The stu
dents were lined up in formation on the
campus and all were required to salute the
flag. The German students refused. The
school authorities learned that the pupils
were acting upon instructions from th-or
parents, and the expulsion order followed.
There is a bitter feeling against the Ger
mans as a result of the incident.

OLD KNIK, ONCE POPULOUS,
WILL SOON BE A REPLICA
OF GOLDSMITH’S VILLAGE
One of the prominent points of interest
along the line of the new government rail
road in Alaska is Old Knik, the Indian
village founded more than 100 years ago,
and once the headquarters of a populous
community, while today it houses hut a
remnant of a once powerful tribe.
This old village is located on the main
line of tile railroad, about twenty-eight
miles from Anchorage, and it was founded
in the regime of Chief Nicholai. Many
years before the settlement of Old Knik
this tribe had established a village at the
forks of the Matanuska and Knik rivers,
vhich was literally wiped out by the lug
flood that is a matter of Alaska history
during the Russian rule A great number
of lives were lost in the flood, and the
balance of the tribe moved to the country
adjacent to what is now New Knik, and
established a settlement.
Owing to internal strife and tribal jeal
ousy the tribe split up, and the present
village of Old Knik was settled by that part
of the tribe that followed the fortunes of
Chife Afansia, and the old Russian Greek
church was moved to this place. While
llie petty differences have been wiped out
and the two sections still hold potlatches
and visit back and forth, the father of the
church refuses to hold religious services in
the building, owing to some part of their
belief making it a sacrilege to move a
church building or the vestments from the
spot previously made sacred by religious
riles.
However, the fathers did condescend to
consecrate the burial ground. This prop
erty is still in possession of the church, as
Russia reserved all the church property
when the territory of Alaska passed to the
United States
Father Paul Shadura of Kenai has juris
diction over the Knik Indians, find visits
the two settlements on his regular religious
trips. The old tribal laws of allotting each
faintly a certain section of country for
hunting, trapping and fishing privileges are
t till in vogue, and the Indians follow hunt
ing and fishing for a pastime and sustenance.
They also make snowshoes, tan hides and
furs and make moccasins, mukluks. etc.,
but as a rule do not go in for farming, al
though this industry is being agitated with
come success.
The old church building shows the wear
and tear of time and exposure to the ele
ments; the gray, worn roof tins a trifle and
the door sags. Several boards are missing
from the outside and several panes of glass
in the windows are broken. The ground
outside is littered and unkempt, and shows |
jack of care and attention, but the interior j
of the church does not particularly show
the ravages of the hand of time. Many
of the religious vestments and crosses pecul
iar to the service adorn the walls, and the
i acred images of the Holy Trinity— Father,
Bon and Holy Ghost- look down upon the
empty pews. The prayer books are yellow
with age. ami the richly embroidered altar
cloth is duty and moth-eaten.
There are no candles in the old-fashioned
candlesticks, and the soft beams of the
afternoon’s sun light up the interior of this
old Russian-Greek church that has been
made sacred and hallowed by many reli- j
gious services.
The crowded church graveyard, too. sur- j
rounded by small board fences, with its
many different wooden designs and em- j
blems, presents a quaint appear: nee. The j
Indians bury their dead in coffins placed }
on top of the ground, but the coffins are
covered and surrounded by small board j
fences. Each mausoleum is marked by a
wooden design symbolic of the family, to- j
gether with an icon of the Greek church. 1
all decor' ted with van colored paint made
by the natives.
This once hardy race is gradually dying ■
out, mainly due to the ravages of tubercu
losis and inbreedine. that often leaves the
mark of physical defect. The village only i
numbers fifty-eight souls at the present time, j
and each year sees more and more of the j
cabins deserted, caused either by death or j
hv the flight of the inhabitants further into j
the Interior, in dread of the march of civ- >
ilization.
It is only a question of time until Old
Knik Indian village, like Goldsmith’s “De- |
sorted Village.” will no more resound to
the laughter of little children or the shuf
fling tramp of old age, but will be deserted,
its inhabitants wiped out by disease and
contact with the white man.
It is a pity, as this was one of the old
landmarks of Alaska, and much history
had been mdae in and around this location.
—Valdez Miner.
ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC
ONCE CONNECTED NATURALLY
Geologists have long known that the At
lantic and Pacific oceans were once directly
connected by water that extended across
the present site of Panama and adjacent
areas in Central America. The continents
were thus separated during the Eocene and
Oligocene epochs—not so very long ago, as
geologists reckon time. At the end of the
Oligocene time, however, the surface of
the earth in the region about Panama was
raised by earth movements which closed
the mid-American passage and established
continuous land connection between North
and South America—connection which un
til recently was believed to be destined to
remain unbroken, until the skill and in
domitable pertinacity of the United States
army engineers cut the bond at Panama.
The separation of the oceans caused pro
found changes in their inhabitants, who
had been able to wander unimpeded from
ocean to ocean, but now found themselves
restricted in their range. Many species,
marooned in an unfavorable environment,
soon succumbed to the struggle for exist
ence. Thus in Miocene time (the next
epoch) the inhabitants of the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans gradually became -different,
and they have now become so distinct that
scarcely a single species is common to the
seas on the two sides of the isthmus.
The mid-American land barrier is gener
ally thought to have remained intact from
Miocene time down to the preesnt day. but
fhis belief is erroneous. T. Wavland
Vaughan, a geologist of the United States
Geological Survey, department of the in
terior, on critically studying the fossil corals
collected on Carrizo creek, in Imperial
county, California, discovered that these
corals resemble those of the Atlantic ocean
—that they are closely related to Pliocene
and post-Pliocene forms that inhabited the
waters about Florida and the West Indies,
This fact seems to mean that after the At
lantic had been separated from the Pacific
in Miocene time, the two oceans were again
united in late Miocene or Pliocene, time, the
interoceanic connection permitting the At
lantic forms to reach points at the head of
the Gulf of California, while conditions not
yet understood excluded the Pacific fauna
from that area. The place at which the
oceans were connected is not known, but it
is supposed to have been somewhere near
the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.
Mr. Vaughan’s report on corals from Car
rizo creek has just been published by the
United States Geological Survey.

CONVICTED BANK PRESIDENT
GAINED COURT’S SYMPATHY
AND LATER DECAMPED
SEATTLE, May 5. VV. L. Collier, presi
dent of the defunct Northern Bank & Trust
Company, recently convicted on a criminal
charge and sentenced to the penitentiary,
has disappeared, following the bringing in
of another grand larceny charge against
him. Collier was out on bail pending com
mitment to prison.
W. L. Collier, president of the Northern
Bank & Trust Company of Seattle, which
was closed by the state bank examiner in
February last, and who was .sentenced re
cently to from one to ten years in the state
penitentiary, pleaded guilty to the charge of
making false entries in the bank’s books,
according to the Post-Intelligencer. Collier
had confessed to Prosecuting Attorney Lun
din the embezzlement of $30,000 of the
bank's funds in a period covering the last
two years.
Commitment of Collier to the penitentiary j
was delayed thirty days by Judge Smith
in order that he might assist the bank ex
aminers in going over the books and
straightening out the accounts. In the
meantime he was given his liberty under a
bond of $5,000.
In passing sentenre the court spoke at
length, expressing the sympathy of the
community with the defaulting official in
that he used the funds to buy stock in the
bank. The minimum sentence was ini
posed.
The specific charge against Ollier was
that he had made false entries to show the
withdrawal of $10,350 on September 14
from the Northern Bank. One entry in
the bank’s individual ledger showed a debit
entry of $2,350 in the recount of the Nata
torium Company, and another of $8,000 in
the account of the Westlake Market. Lun
din, in recounting Collier’s confession, said
that Collier had taken money from the bank
with which to purchase stock, and the
stock had been carried in the accounts as
cash on hand. When the state examina
tion was at hand Collier withdrew the stock
and at the same time made the entries of
the fictitious withdrawals in the accounts
of the two depositors.
For more than on hour before Collier was
taken before the court he was closeted with
with his attorney. Will H. Morris, State
Bank Examiner W. E. Hanson and Deputy
Examiner L. H. Moore in the office of the
prosecuting attorney. After Judge Smith
heard the reading of the complaint, the
statement of the prosecutor and the plea
of Attorney Morris for leniency, he asked
Collier:
“Was this money that you took used for
any other purpose than the purchase of
stock for yourself? Had you been gam
bling?”
“No,” your honor,” replied Collier, in a
low voice.
“I don’t know you very well, Mr. Col
lier,” said the judge, “but I sympathize
with you in your mistake. I feel sure that
you will be able to win back the respect
that you have heretofore held in the com
munity when you have served your sentence
in the state pri n. The demands of the
law must be met; but you are a young
man and I know that you will do all in
vour power to make amends for what you
have done, and in saying this I believe I
speak for the community.”
The charge of making false entries was
filed, rather than one of embezzlement. Mr.
Lundin said, at the request of the state
brnk examiner, for the effect conviction
would have on others. The maximum sen
tence for falsifying is ten years, and for
embezzlement, fifteen years.

WAR AND WINE
France apparently does not believe that
her soldiers can fight the war with water,
or even coffee as their beverage. For her
sons who man the trenches at Verdun and
along the Somme the best red wine she
has is none too good. She is therefore con
serving her stocks, and the state of the
vintage has been one of her greatest anxi- ^
eties during the war.
Last year's vintage failed, and the nation
has now requisitioned 200,000,000 gallons of <
this year's wine, which, together with 40,
000,000 gallons from Algeria, is being stored |
away in various parts of the republic for the j
use of the army.
This enormous quantity is only one fifth
of the wine production of ]• ranee, so it
will be seen that the non-combatants of the |
nation will only .suffer a slight reduction in |
the amount of their usual drink. In spite j
of what the prohibitionists have said. France |
is a far way from being on the water wagon. ■
