OUT BT FLOOD
When the things come to pass that
are possible and the government rail
road issues its first folders and time
tables giving the train schedule out of
Anchorage, it will also advertise and
describe the many different points of
interest in this vicinity. These folders
will be sent broadcast over the states
and the descriptive reading matter
with the accompanying scenes will do
much to induce the American tourist
to heed the cry and “See America
First.”
Prominent among the advertising
features will be the description of the
Old Knik Indian village located on the
main line of the railroad and only
twenty-eight miles from Anchorage.
This village was founded over 100
years ago and at the present time is
inhabited by the remnants of a once
powerful and prosperous tribe of In
dians under the regime of Chief Ni
choli. Many years before the settle
ment of Old Knik this tribe had es
tablished a village at the forks of the
Matanuska and Knik rivers which was
literally wiped out by the big flood
that is a matter of Alaska history dur
ing the Russian rule. A great num
ber 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
jealousy the tribe split up and the
present village of Old Knik was set
tled by that part of the tribe that fol
lowed the fortunes of Chief Afansia
and the old Russian-Greek Catholic
church was moved to this place. While
the petty differences have been wiped
out and the two sections still hold
potlatch and visit back and forth the
Father of the Church refuses to hold
religious services in the building ow -
ing to some part of their belief mak
ing it a sacriledge to move a church
building or the vestments from the
spot previously made sacred by their
religious rites.
However the Father did consecrate
the burial ground. This property is
still in possession of the church as
' Russia reserved all church property
when the territory of Alaska passed
| to the United States.
Father Paul Shadura, of Kenai, has
jurisdiction over the Knik Indians and
| visits the two settlements an his regu
lar religious trips. The old tribal
laws of alloting each family a certain
section of country for hunting and
fishing privileges are still in vogue
and t!i.‘ Indians follow hunting and
fishing both for a pastime and susten
ance. They also make snowshoes, taa
| hides and furs and make moccasins,
mukluks, etc., but as a rule do not go
: i for farming although this industry'

There are no candles in the old
fashioned candle sticks and the soft
beams of the afternoon’s sun lights
up the interior of this old Russian
Greek church that has been made sac
red and hallowed by many religious
services.
The crowded church graveyard, too,
surrounded by small board fences,
with its many different wooden de
signs and emblems, presents a quaint
appearance. The Indians bury then
dead in coffins placed on top of the
ground but the coffins are covered and
surrounded by small board fences.
Each mausoleum is marked by a wood
en design symbolic of the family and
the wood work is all decorated with
Classified Advs.

MAYOR GILL AND OTHERS ON TRIAL,
CHARGED WITH LIQUOR LAW VIOLATIONS
SEATTLE, Wash., March 6.—The trial of Mayor Gill,
Chief of Police Beckingham, former Sheriff Hodge and others
began this forenoon in the federal court, Judge Neterer presid
ing, on the charge of conspiring to evade the state liquor laws.
District Attorney Allen and several assistants appear for the
prosecution, and John F. Dore leads a dozen attorneys for the
defense.- Attorneys for the defense sprung a sensation when
they called for subpoenas for Rev. Matthews, pastor of the
Presbyterian church, A. J. Blethen, Jr., editor of The Times;
District Attorney Allen, and John Allen, newspaper investi
gator for The Times, who disappeared on the eve of the grand
jury investigation.
Logan and Fred Billingsley and Pielow, a transfer man,
have plead guilty to infractions of the liquor law.
The trial of the 70 odd members of the Industrial Workers
of the World, charged with murder growing out of the Fverett
riots, began yesterday. Judge Ronald presiding.
