The Standard Oil Company’s boat
Pilgrim, called in at Kanatak for the
first trip of the season. The Pilgrim >

Join Kennedy was a passenger on
the Pilgrim ,returning from a short
visit to Kodiak.

Helmer Evans is moving his branch

HISTORY OF ALASKA
DEAD IN DOUGLAS
Juneau Empire
Dick Morgan, who died at Douglas
ast week and was buried Sunday, was
i historical character of Alaska. The
following information is supplied by
Rev. A. P. Kashevaroff:
Up to September, 1879, the head
chiefs of the Chilkoot and Chilkat
prohibited the white men from enter
ng their territory thereby preventing
the white men from crossing the pass
js into the Yukon.
Just about that time 'there was a
aig fight between Kochwontahns and j
the Ganaxadi in which Klotzkutch,
the chief of the former was wounded
and a number of natives on both sides
were killed. There were a number of
Chilkats at Sitka at the time and
among them Dick Richards, (Morgan)
as he called himself later. Dick was ;
employed as an Indian policeman by j
the Naval authorities.
Dick with Sitka Jake and Stickeesh
and 30 Indians were sent to the Chil- j
kat country, with a message from
Capt. L. A. Beerdslee, informing
Klotzkutch that this party was sent
there to help keep order among the
natives and that in return he expected
him to always use his influence in se
curing good treatment to any white
man who should come into his coun
try to trade, and that he would be
pleased if he would let white miners
go into the interior to prospect the
country for precious metals, which, if
found, would enrich the Indians.
This privilege had never been ac
corded by the Chilkat Indians fearing
that the white men would interfere
with the trade with the Stick Indians,
who lived in the Interior and whose
trade the coast Indians monopolized.
On February 12, 1880, Dick Rich
ards, (Morgan) and most of the In
dians returned. They brought an in
vitation from Klotz Kutch for the
white miners to come and promised
welcome and thanks to Captain Beard
slee.
This invitation was extended to the
miners of whom there was a large
! number wintering at Sitka, gathered
| from Cassiar and other places. These
| men were ready to undertake such an
i expedition and after a mass meeting
; an expedition to Chilkat country was
organized. Several boats were built.
On the Ilth of May, 1880, a public
meeting was held and full understand
ing between Captain Beardslee and
the miners arrived at. Captain Beard
slee furnished an escort of marines.
Lieut. E .P. McClellan was assigned
to the duty as an escort. He was pro
vided with letters to Chief Klotz Kutz
and Elquesah. On the 20th of May the
expedition sailed, consisting of five
boats, carrying 26 miners and their
help with the navy launch, started.
Here are the names of the first min
ers to cross the divide:
Pres. Cloudman, Tom Lynham, R.
Dugan, Denny Dougherty, Tom Ker
j nan, John Leddy, Mike Hayes, Jim
Fallen, Antone Marks, D. A. Peter
son, Jim McCluskey, Jack Lennon, O.
Reddy, E. Bean, Sol Matthews, Pat
McClinchy, N. Warren /Bill Zoble, G.
Harkrader, Caribou Steel, Jim Rose
wall, Russ Paul, Hilt, Donnelly, Jdhn
McKenzie and Jim Winn.
The launch returned to Sitka on
June 5th, and the report of Lieut. Mc
Clellan indicated that the result was
a success and the Chilkat country was
now fairly open to the white miners.
Dick Morgan, as a policeman, serv
ed the U. S. for five years. In Sitka
from his perfectly neat appearance
and from the care he took to wear a
clean collar and have his shoes polish
ed, he was known as “Dick, the Dude.”
His final discharge from the Navy
was dated April 15th, 1883 with a very
fine recommendation from Captain
Merriam.
CLEAN UP KETCHIKAN
By invitation of the mayor of Ket
chikan and two of the councilmen with
other municipal officials met recently
to discuss with federal officials and a
number of citizens who had been ask
ed to attend the matter of ridding
Ketchikan of an undesirable element
which was said to be found in great
numbers in that city, says the Ket
chikan Chronicle. United States Mar
shal George D. Beaumont assured
those present that the marshal’s of
fice could and would immediately
clean out Ketchikan of these unde
sirable persons. Mayor Torrey gave
assurances that the city would lend its
efforts to the law enforcement.
