CORDOVA, ALASKA
A few miles up the Knik river there
is a beautiful lake, said to be 14 miles
long and about 11 miles wide. For
years it has been a favorite hunting
ground for the Indians of this region.
Every year the Indians would bring
I their families to the mouth of the Knik
river, arrange their camps, and the
men would go far up Into the mount
ains to hunt and fish.
About twenty years ago, It is re
lated, the huge glacier, which serves
as a wall for the large lake above,
gave way, and huge volumes of water I
came tearing down the mountain side, I
swelling the water of Knik river until
the whole country tributary to the
mouth of the river was submerged,
drowning nearly all of the Indiars
camped In the flat below. Since that
time the Indians have kept an eye on
the glacier, expecting that at any!
time another break would occur. But
until this year, as far as it can be
learned, the glacier has held the wa
ters of the lake and no floods of any
consequence have occurred
About two weeks ago an Indian
came down from the lake and tmme
diatel warned those living in the i
neighborhood of old Knik to leave the
flat, a« the glacier was expected to
break at any moment and cause much
damage. The people living In that
vicinity, having heard before an ac
count of the danger, stood not on the
order of going, but “got.” And none
too soon, for on Sunday morning, It is
reported, the side of the glacier gave
wa,v and oceans of water came sweep
ing down into the valley below.
The flood was not nearly so great
as reported to have been before, but
severe enough, however, to wash
| sway, a number of piles, said to have
! been ready to put in the railroad
I bridge and had the people not taken
j the advice of the Indian many lives
■ would probably have been lost. As It
is. no particular damage was done.
Several men who have been up to
this lake state that further trouble
from this source can be averted by
simply shooing out a portion of this'
glacier, which probably will be donej
before there is danger of another
break.—Anchorage Pioneer.

been on sale for some time in An
chorage and the Engineering commis

side coal. It is taken from a depth of
three hundred feet and is free from all
the drawbacks of the coal nearer the
