The following is practically a literal translation
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.

to the upper edges and rocks to

TRADING!
A little trading now and then
is relished by the very best of
I men. The northern and western
{inhabitants of Kodiak carried on
| trade principally with the Alaska
! Americans (Iirmna, west), while
'the southern and eastern ' inhabi
; tanfcs traded with the Kenaians
| and Chugachs.
The former traded suk’is and
I amber for deer horns (probably,
i caribou and moose) for their
j speras, deer skin parkas, long hair
I f rom breasts of deer (remnants
J of primordial pouches or stomachs
| of moose ) which the Kodiak wo
j men used as trimmings on parkas,
hats and caps used by men at
igrushkas. Deer were hunted by
crawling against the wind, sim
ilarly bears, hair seals and sea
lions, as these animals are pos
sessed of a keen sense of smell—
| bears lacking good eyesight
The latter exchanged squirrel
! skin parkas with the Kenaians for
| bird-skin parkas, and with the
| Chugachs for suklis and horn
| spoons. From Sitka all parties
1 received pieces of pearl shells.
Trading was carried on among
j s-T. parties as necessity demanded.
The Shames ns (wise men or
sorcerers) predicted that: “In

time Alaska would become an in
dependent and mighty nation, car
rying on trade with the entire
world, without let or hindrance/'
These predictions went unchal
lenged as Shamaans were feared
as well as respected; if this may
be doubted, be it known that, it
was due to their skill that Kai
diakans were supreme on the
North Pacific coast for genera
tions, until the Russian advent.
At present (1804), trade is car
ried on with the Russians, mostly;
some British and Spanish traders
called occasionally, but not at
Kodiak, though British called at
English Bay—about 10 miles from
Kodiak. In exchange for furs,
Kaidiakans received just what
ever the Russians felt like giving
them; no furs, except some lav
taks, were with-held. Russian
goods, in a large measure, are re
served for the promishleniki; as
the Kaidiakans invariably had
gone in debt in advance of sea
otter hunts, it was rare for any
one to be out of debt, in the fall.

Advanced Refrigeration
Continually working for the ad
vancement of domestic electric re
frigeration, engineers of Frigidaire
Corporation have made it possible
for this General Motors subsidiary
this year to present a household
refrigerator with many refinements
and improvements, according to an
announcement by the local repre
sentative. Economy, efficiency and
beauty have been the guiding start
of these engineers and as a result
the Frigidaire of today operates at
much lower cost, freezes more ioe
cubes faster, has an interior and
exterior finish of durable white
porcelain-on-steel and providea
more shelf space than before.
