Gesrge Shortridgfc Acknowl
edged Cbief of Chilkata
George Short ridge is now acknowl
edged |by all Chilkats to be their first
chief. That is one of the result* of the
recent visit to Klukwan of the four big
chiefs of Sitka.
After the death of Honawak, George
Short ridge's friends at once advanced
the claims of the big man of Klukwan
to the fir.%t chieftaincy. It was thought
for a time that they would not be dis
pu'ed, but an older Iiidian of the first
families and one long recognized as a
powerful and influential sub-chief, Ya
Klack. came to the front with claims
tbat caused many friends to rally
around his standard.
By common consent the dispute was
left to the decision of the big Sitka
chiefs, who recently visited Klukwan
at the solicitation of all the sub-chiefs
and high class Indians among the Chil
kats It was understood that to whom
fell the honor of entertaining as guests
the royal visitors would be given recog
nition for his claims. Consequently
there was not a little excitement at the
capital city of the Chilkats when the
big chiefs from Sitka arrived there.
All were anxiously waiting to know at
which house they would take up their
abode.
This was a situation that appealed to
the self-esteem of the visiting chiefs,
and they were loth to disturb a situa
tion in which they occupied nearly
the whole stage. Thejr seemed to re
cognize that their decision once made
and a hero would b-. created who would
eclipse their own importance. For one
day they camped with their wives in
their own tents at one side of the town,
where they were waited upon by the
obsequious friends of the rival Chilkat
chieftains. Thev were called upon by
Ya-Klack. who formally and with a
dignity befitting his aspirations, in
vited them to his house there to be his
guests. He had hardly retired from
his mission when George Shortridge.
making an imposing figure with his six
and a half feet of stature arrayed in all
the splendor of his station, graciously
and in a Kinglv manner offered the hos
pitality of his palatial residence to the
honored guests of his tribe.
No sign of preference was given until
the 24 hours of fasting had been com
pleted, when the Sitka chiefs, wifc all
the solemnity warranted by the occa
sion, silently wended the'r way to the
residence of George Shortridge. A
great feast followed, at which Ya
Klack. abiding by the decision with
stolid dignity, became one of the guests.
Thus it happened that George Short
ridge became the bigg- st Indian in au
thority as well as stature on Lynn
canal .
