which resulted in the production ot
their now famous Chllkst blanket.
As the fame of these blankc.s spread
among the natives of Southeastern
Alaska, traders from the various
tribes flocked to the land of the Chil
kats 'to offer valuable furs in ex
change for the products of the
weaver. This industry was then de
I veloped. and brought wealth and
I prosperity to the people of this re
I gion. The hunters of the tribe were !
constantly on the hunt for the
mountain sheep in order to secure
the necessary wool for the blankets.
! Friendly relations were then re
stored with other tribes, and the
Chilkats and Hi-a-das met again un
der peaceful circumstances. Today
the Chilkat blanket is more frequent
ly seen among the Hi-a-das than
among any of the Tltnkits Besides
weaving these blankets, they also
wove ceremonial robes, which were
each distinctive in the character of
their totem design The women
were at one time famous for their
closely woven blankets made of
mountain sheep wool and dyed with
vegetable dyes. These dyes were ob
tained by stewing the leaves if vari
ous plants and securing thereby the
natural colors. Now, however, since
the advent of a large to"rist travel
and the decline of their people, gen
erally speaking, they have ceased to
| rely upon the wool of the native
■sheep and the dyes from the home
plaifts, and are using instead im
ported wools which are colored with 5
a.iiline dyes. This robs the blankets j
made in recent times of the atmos
phere and association which is pos
sessed by their earlier products of
native materials manufactured by
cruder methods. In about thd same
degree there has been a marked de
cline in their methods of making
baskets, which formerly were so ar
tistic. In brief, the Tltnkits have
changed from a warlike people to a
people who earned on an indistry
and commerce, however limited and
confined. Their industries consist ot
cannery operation, fishing, and they
also operate sawmills of limited ca
pacity.
Under the pressure of artificial
living conditions, the original disin
clination of their men to work has
disappeared. The mechanical skill
of the men is well known, because it
has been exemplified by the erection
of large log houses, the building of
large war canoes, the carving of ar
tistic totem poles and other elaborate
and extensive carvings and orna
mentations. They constructed these
canoes large enough to carry sixty
to seventy warriors. However, such
boats are rarely seen these days, and
have given way to small boats used
for fishing purposes. At one time
they demonstrated considerable, skill
in copper forgings. Indeed, this, was
something highly prized. However,
they now depend on iron and Steel
articles secured from the traders.
Copper forging was introduced to
these Indians by the Russians.
Next come the Aleuts, who num
ber something around a thousand
souls. They are very interesting
people, and easily took <jn cer
tain modes of civilization. Dwelling,
as they do, on the Aleutian islands,
the seas provide their chief field of
occupation. They live largely, on
fish. In summer this diet is varied
by berries and wild fowl. On the
larger of the Aleutian islands you
will find many framed houses Here,
too, you will see gaudy lithographs,
coal oil stoves, granite ware and,
graphophones, all of which Indicate
the contact of these people with tlfe
traders. The Aleut is inclined to be
peaceful, makes a good husband, and
| is honest and industrious. They are
nearly all members of the Greek
Catholic church, and have grown
very fond of ceremonials and fes
tivals. However, they have not taken
kindly to American speech or educa
tion. This is caused by the fact that
the church uses a mixture of Russian
and Aleut in its ceremonies.
The Athapascans are the Indians
who live in the region of the Copper
river, the Yukon, the Tanana and the
Kuskokwim. Their ranks are rap
idly being depleted. This is caused
chiefly by tuberculosis. The Indians
of the Athapascan stock are related

to the Apaches and other tribes in
the United States. Twenty years ago
they were living in a nearly primi
tive condition, not having advanced
very much since. These people are
the only Alaskan Indians who have
ever attempted any form of making
pottery. The first form of pottery
they made consisted of animal blood,
hair and sand, which was burned
over a wood fire. However, they
never succeeded in making a durable
character of pottery. v
The Metlakatlans are also skilled
in the various arts. There is found
in their region a very soft stone,
which is black, very much like a
soapstone, and out of which they
make some fine ornaments. These
ornaments embrace a wide range of
objects and run in size from a few
inches to a foot high. They also
make very ornamental ruga out of
various species of grasses. Cedar
bark is used by them to make mats.
Esquimaux are docile and4c**stful,
and get most of their living from the
lakes and the sea; they are fisher
men and hunters mainly. They have
not taken on any of the arts or crafts
of the white men, and are almost in
a primitive state.

Now and then, we hear people say that
they ean ’get along without a typewriter. ..
Yes, we believe that. Only forty years
ago everybody got along without one.
So tKey did, a little further back, without the steam
'engine and the railroad train. They got along
without them because there were none.
Anyone today who thinks he can get along with
out the typewriter because he can do his writing \
with the pen, is like the man who thinks he doesn’t
need the railroad because he can walk. In your
method of writing you may be “walking” today.
If so, then remember that the railroad is built and—
