KNIK INDIAN SLAVES
Many years ago, Athanasse was the chief of the Knik
tribe of Indians. He was a frequent visitor to Seward.
Although he had been deposed from his official capacity
among his people by order of a Catholic priest the mem
bers of his band always prefered Athanasse as their lead
er.
On one of his trips to Seward he came with the ob
ject in viewT to secure a market for moose meat, he having
had several Indians engaged in hunting and killing these
animals some miles distant from the city. He developed
quite an industry and he and his followers are said to
have wTaxed fat.
There is a custom among the Knik Indians that when
the parents of children die, their offspring becomes the
slaves of the nearest relative. This person can collect
their wages when they work for others, and can take
their trophies of the chase. Generally, however, in this
day and age, the orphans rebel when old enough to under
stand matters’ and the law is thus rudely violated. It is
supposed that Athanasse had some of his slaves at work
slaughtering moose and that the old chief, like all mon
archs received the greatest benefits from their efforts.
COOLIDGE‘S POLITICAL ADVANTAGE
The results of the congressional elections this fall, and
the country’s interpretation of them in relation to Presi
dent Coolidge, must be known before it is possible to do
more than make guesses. Until then speculation must
continue to be based upon faith in the appeal of the presi
dent’s character and upon the tremendous advantage he
will have, if actively opposecl for the nomination, through
control of the party machine.
JAPANESE INFANTRY EQUIPMENT
Statistics show that the world is now buying Japan
ese, not German toys. Infantry equipment has long been
the pride of Nippon. It was only universal recognition
that was hard to secure.
