day, 'Klondiker,' and even 'to Klon- 

 dike,' also occur. Of the name Baker 

 (Geog. Diet. Alaska, 244, 1902) says: 

 "This [Klondike] river was named 

 Deer river by the Western Union Tele- 

 graph Expedition, in 1867, and so ap- 

 peared on various maps. Later it was 

 called Raindeer and afterwards Reindeer. 

 Ogilvie, writing September 6, 1896, from 

 Cudahy, says: 'The river known liere 

 as the Klondike' ; and in a footnote says: 

 'The correct name is Thron Duick.' 

 It has also been called Clondyke and 

 Chandik, or Deer." (a. k. c. ) 



Kloo (Xe-u, 'southeast,' the name of a 

 town chief). A former Haida town at 

 the E. end of Tanoo id.. Queen Char- 

 lotte ids., Brit. Col. It was one of the 

 largest towns in the Haida country 

 and was occupied l)y three families, 

 the Kona-kegawai, Djiguaahl-lanas, and 

 Kadusgo-kegawai, to the first of which 

 the town chief belonged. John Work 

 (1836-41) assigned 40 houses and 545 in- 

 habitants to this town; old people still 

 remember 26 houses. Although aban- 

 doned, the houses and poles here are in 

 better condition than in most uninhab- 

 ited Haida villages. (.1. R. s. )

Knaiakhotana, An Athai^ascan tribe 

 inhabiting Kenai penin., Alaska, the 

 basins of Knik and Sushitna rs., and the 

 shores of Iliamna and Cook lakes. It is 

 the only northern Athapascan tribe occu- 

 pying any large portion of the seacoast. 

 They came in contact with the Russians 

 at an early date and were subjugated 

 only after much fighting; a permanent 

 trading settlement was established in 1792 

 by Zaikoff and Lastochkin, and in 1793 

 missionaries settled on Cook inlet. In 

 the latter year Baranoff brought 30 con- 

 victs to teach agriculture to the people of 

 Kenai penin.; the natives attacked him 

 during his explorations, but were re- 

 pulsed, the Russians losing 11 men. 

 Father Juvenati in 1796 attempted to 

 suppress polygamy among the natives, 

 but was killed while preaching near Ili- 

 amna lake. Hostilities were resumed 

 against Baranoff in 1801. An attempt to 

 explore the region n. of Cook inlet was 

 made in 1816 by the Russian- American 

 Co. , and in 1819 they had 4 settlements on 

 Cook inlet. In 1838 an epidemic of small- 

 pox carried off nearly half the native 

 population. In 1861 Kenai penin. was 

 designated one of the 7 missionary dis- 

 tricts of the Russian church. The Knaia- 

 khotana are taller and darker than 

 their Eskimo neighbors, but their cus- 

 toms differ little from those of the neigh- 

 boring tribes. Hunting and fishing are
