These predictions went unchal- lenged as Shamaans were feared as we'll as respected; if this may be doubted, be it known that, it was due to their skill that Kali diakans were supreme on the North Pacific coast for genera tions, until the Russian advent.
 At present u804), 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- talks, were withheld. Russian goods, in 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.

 TRADING.
 A little trading now and then $ relished by the very best of men. The northern and western inhabitants Of Kodiak carried on trade principally with the Alaska Americans Glic mna, vest, while the southern and eastern inhabi- tants traded with the Kenaians and Chugachs.
 The former traded suklis and amber for deer horns (probably, caribou nd moose) for their speras, deer skin parkas, long hair from breasts of deer (remnants of prim0rdial pouches or stomachs of moose) which the Kodiak Wo- men used as trimmings on parkas. hats and caps used by men at lgrUshk8s. Deer were hunted by crawling against the wind, sim ilarly bears, hair seals and sea- lions, as these animals are pos sessed of 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 received pieces of pearl shells. Trading was carried on among all parties as necessity demanded.

YOUNG TRAPPER MAY RECOVER FROM FALL
 OVER HIGH CLIFF

KODIAK, March 2. Especial to the Gateway)-While in an effort to take the furry corpse of a de- cedent blue fox trap in which it had successfully been caught, and which was located near the brink of a precipitous cliff, Fred Schwartxoff, of Uzinkie, Alaska, fell backward when the chain holding the trap snapped, and fell to the bottom of the cliff fracturing two ribs and injuring his left arm, according to in- formation given out by pr. L. Fryer, under whose care the in- jured boy is now confined.
 The boy whose age is g years is in serious condition owing partially to the great delay in getting him from the scene of the accident on February II to Uganik and thence to his home in Uzinkie and later to Dr. Pry- CT at Kodiak, on account of the prevailing storms at sea.
 However, every hope is now en- tertained that with the expert treatment being received the in- jured boy will completely regain his former good health. His mother is with him acting as nurse as is also one of his part ners on the trap line.
