IS SET! LED 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 . WifoA?k forHoib nil Mrs W. S. Bashaw. of 53 Soiiierse* street, liolyoke, Mass., is anxious to ItDOir the whereabouts of her husband, who was in Skagway in 185*9 and 1900. In the former year he was a patient of Dr. M. F.
