NATIVE DROWNS
George Nollner, of Nulato, was
drowned recently in seven feet of
water in a Yukon slough above Bi
shop mountain at Nulato. His body
was swept under the ice, says the
Fairbanks News-Miner.
i The following is practically a
literal translation from the Rus
sian taken from the manuscript
| of Fr. Gedeon, priest-monk of
the Aexandro-Nevsky Cathedral,
Moscow, Russia and was written
in Kodiak between 1804 and 1807.
The Gateway is informed that it
j has never before appeared in
print.
Continued from Yesterday
In 1798 the company forbade the
inhabitants of Kadiak to hunt
squirrels on Ukamok (Chirikov)
Island, where they have been
hunted in great • numbers. Parkas
made of these skins were in great
steem. To hunt these little ani
mals, the company sent that year
about 25 men from various set
tlements of Kadiak Island, not
counting their wives and children,
| and 15 kayurkas under the lead
jership of an old Russian prom
yshlent, imposing the task on each
| of them of 10 parkas, which would
'be sold by the company in ex
change for sea otters. The wives
and kayurkas were sent to sew
the parkas out of these animals.
Aside from these, the men hunted
jhari sels in the winter time, and
of which the company received
over a hundred in one winter.
I During severe weather they watch
the beaches for castaway sea ot
j ters; the skins of these animals
! are given to the company and the
toilers use the flesh. In the spring
they begin to hunt birds called
URILA (loons) of which the com
pany receives yearly up to 2001
l parkas. During the summer they j
hunt sea parrots with the other 1
| bird hunters. Only the females!
remain on the island for the pur- !
j pose of gathering sarans and of j
berries under the protection of j
| such old men as are unable to
i walk. In winter time, when there j
; are no cast up whales, they ex- j
pericnce great famine, and feed
only on roots and shells and kelp. |
And. while there are a number of'
streams on the island, no fish go l
up any of them; but in the au- -
tumn some go up one of the j
streams and then in small num- !
bers; during such a run they are ;
I used for food. Squirrels are also
hunted on hte Semidis.

NOW IN TERRITORY
Two Seattle men, Lyman Culverj
| and James Cassaday, members of j
I the Washington Alpine Club, have ;
sailed from Seattle for Ketchikan ,
on the cannery tender, Sacco, |
with their lG-foot outboard mo- j
tored canoe, Waif, on board. From ,
Ketchikan they will start a 3,000
mile canoe trip which will take
•them, from Ketchikan to Skagway,
and from the headwaters of the
Yukon down to Nome, reports the
Juneau Empire.
SUFFERS STROKE
Andy Lingo, proprietor of a road
house at Bell Creek on the Steese
highway, 13 miles from Chatanika,
is in a critical condition as the
result of a paralytic stroke which
he sufered recently, reports the
Fairbanks News-Miner.

INCREASE EXPECTED
The land settlement program of
the Alaska Railroad Is working,
out very satisfactorily, in the j
opinion of M. D. Snodgrass, in the !
Anchorage Times, who is devoting j
his time this summer to assisting j
new arrivals to locate farm homes
in Matanuska valley. The results
thus far obtained are very grati
fying, Mr. Snodgrass says, and ti
is his belief that the present sea
son will see a material increase in
the number of homesteaders in
the . farming belt, permanently lo-j
cated and actively engaged in,
clearing and cropping.
