A Russian post raid 'nailed from
Nijni Kolymsk, one of the most iso

by Krie-k Wilson, u member of the
crew of the Nome trading schooner
Polar Bear, is the unique possession

Including a Russian government
eteamem which attempted it. < twing
to the unusual ice conditions the Polar
Bear was unable to return last fall and
spent the winter in that locality. From
meager telegraphic advices received
via Anadyr from Capt. Oudmundsun.
it is understood that he was caused
considerable trouble by the Russian
authorities, who seized his cargo of
furs with the intention of confiscation
but later returned them as a resul*
of representations forwai dec! at nts
request by the Nome Chamber of Com
merce. As understood by Chamber of
Oominnierce officials, the arrival of the
Polar Beam was greeted joyously by
the residents of the remote town, who
were exceedingly short of supplies.
Capt. Oudmundsun and his crew were
shown every courtesy by both residents
and officials. Furs were plentiful and
the schooner did a thriving business
trading suppPes for pelts. Many
commodities were so scarce and furs
so plentiful that the residents are said
to have been willing in many instances
to trade a fox skin for such small ar
ticles as a box of matches.
After a season of trade the schoon*.
left for Nome but was blocked by the
Ice and later returned to Kolymsk. In
his first message to the Chamber of
