from the Russian taken from the manuscript of Fr.
Gedeon, priest-monk of the Alexandro-Nevsky Cathe
dral, Moscow, Russia, and was written in Kodiak be
tween 1804 and 1807. It has never before appeared in
print.

Ordinarily these igrushkas lasted
from Autumn until the food gave
out, similar to potlatches. These
igrushkas are given for various rea
sons: friendship, which was highly
esteemed; forthcoming weddings;
gratitude for loans; evidences of
wealth; and as a general custom.
The men wore trim hats or orna
mental caps, made for the occasion,
dance singly or in pairs, holding rat
tles, hopping up, bending down,
squatting, bending sideways, mean
while waving rattles en tempo; they
pantomined the chase, hunting
whales, spearing sea-lions and hair
seals, shooting sea-otters; then as
the dance approached a climax,
dancers discarded hats and caps but
retained masks, danced singly or
in pairs. : :
Women of all ages danced alone,
Standing seriously in line, imper
ceptibly squatting, gracefully
straightening up, shimmying similar j
to the Sandwich Island Hula-Hula j
dance. At the beginning of the •
dance, women extended left hands j
palms outward, fingers closed and j
maintained this position while all;
hum in unison — without words, j
Whenever the flute or tamborine j
players mentioned names of depart- j
ed kinsmen dancers gracefully open- ■
ed palms dowmvard. “On with the j
dance; let joy be unrefined,” shout j
the entertainers. “Bring on the
barduk,” chorus the guests.
‘‘Speaking of a real soothing, sat- j
isfying drink,” as “Swiftwater Bill” . |
used to say—yes, yes; go on. Oh, j
very well—
Barduk was a soothing, delicious j
beverage, made of sarana—wild po
tatoes. Two vedros (buckets) of,
sarana w’as put in a 15-gallon vat, j
filled wtih w’ater and fermented ‘au I
natural’ or with black strap molas- i
ses. in a banya. This procedure
produced a remarkable metamor
phosis ten days later and was then
strained thru birch bark charcoal,
and gently laid away in a nice, dark
cellar for three months.

HOG WO GUESSING
ON 1991 ICE BRE1KUP
With the coming of warmer wea
ther, interest in the 1931 breakup
derby is growing apace, with the
prsopect that Nenana and other in
terior towns will give the usual sup
port to the big sporting classic,
says the Anchorage Times. The un
usual conditions prevailing have all
the oldtimers guessing.
The water in the Tanana was ra
ther low when the freezeup oc
curred, the snowfall throughout the
valley has been somewhat under
normal and the winter has been a
mild one, with some delay in the
coming of spring. No one can make
anything out of the combination of
conditions and guessing is going
hog wild.

KENNETH W. SIMONS, EDITOR OF THE BISMARCK
(N. DAK.) TRIBUNE, SAYS:—
That if everyone just folded up and assured the world
that things were never going to be any better, the end of
the world, so far as most of us are concerned, would be
just around the corner.
We hear a great deal these days about business turn
ing the comer. The fast is that we make our own comers
and do our own turning, both as individuals and as a nation.
It the first man who ever made a stone axe told him
self it couldn’t be done, man probably would still be eating
berries, herbs and products of the sail instead of meat. If
fear had prevented the first use of fire, mankind still
would inhabit only the tropical countries.
If the man wh oinvented the wheel had told himself it
was an impossible proposition, we would still be carrying
on our backs everything we use.
What everyone needs today, every business man,
preacher, teacher, doctor, lawyer and scribe, is more exer
cise. By that I don’t mean the kind one gets from sitting
and bellyaching, but the kind that has always produced
results in the past.Exercise of whatever God put between
our ears and the exercise of which comes from good work.
We need faith. How can anyone doubt the future of
this country and still call himself a good American? If the
country is going to the dogs either morally, physically or
financially, a lot of U3 are going to be in tough shape. If
it does go to the dogs, it will be our fault.
