| Transcript |
Fort Wrangel, A.T., Aug. 5, 1879. The Undersigned, having been favorably impressed by personal interviews with Shaikes, [Shakes] the Stikeen Chief, and by information from other sources, respecting his disposition and intentions, comply with his request for a "Paper." We are inclined to believe that his disposition is pacific, and his intentions praiseworthy. He professes to be a good citizen, and promises to use his influence in favor of law and order. So far as he meets these engagements, he deserves the support of "the whites." And we cor- dially commend him to all good men. We also earnestly advise Shaikes to discountenance all evil practices among his people; to put away evil counselors, and to chose advisors from among wise and true friends. |
