KODIAK DIARY

History, descriptions and per sonal experiences in old-time Kodiak were the topics treated by MT. W. J. E,skine in a speech given by him at the Rotary luncheon Tuesday. Knowing our readers interest in the subject, the following article contains the material as presented in the speech, with additional material obtained from MT. Erskine.

Early History

Vitus Boring, in TAI, sighted Kodiak island but thought it was part of the mainland. His ship went on to the westward, and the vessel was wrecked on what is now Boring island. Der ing died there, but his crew fab ricated a makeshift vessel and returned to Kamchatka the fol- lowing year.
 Captain James Cook, for the British Admiralty, sailed from Plymouth, England, July l2, 1776 and visited Alaska in search of a northern trade route. He al- so saw Kodiak island but thought it was a peninsula and went on westward. He explored and nam ed Bristol bay and then returned to Unalaska for ship repairs Credited with being the first man to visit the island was Ste phen Glottof, in 1762. (Ed. note: His ship was attacked while at Kodiak. There is also a story of vessel arriving at Alitak, pre- sumably this one, and that the natives went to it to trade and were set upon by the ships crew and all their furs taken from them.
 First Russian settlement on Kodiak island was at Three Saints bay, established by Shelf kof. Shelikof was a type to seek personal aggrandIzement anc many of his claims, especially al to number of natives, cannot be taken as authentic. Best auth
 critics give native population oi the island as not more thar 12,O00, more likely less thar 5000.
 1 At Three Saints bay schools were established, a church start, ed, and trade relations with the natives as far as Cook Inlet were made As there was scarcely any timber there and as it was desir. ed to establish permanent camp, a new location was Sought 1

and found at the present location of Kodiak. When MT. Ersklne first visited Three Saints bay outlines of old Russian founda- tions could be seen from the hills. On visit 25 years later all evld- ence was gone.
 The move to St. Paul's harbor was made in 1793.
 Baranof arrived as governor of the Russian American comp any, which had complete control of trade and colonization of the new country, and lived in Kodiak for g years and then moved to Sitka.
 Conditions of living were diff cult. Two or three years would pass with no communications from St. Petersburg and the men would run out of food and cloth ing. The natives, according to the Russian standards, were ex- tremely immoral, and at Baran- offs request 10 monks arrived at Kodiak n 1794 to establish. Christianity. The monks were delegated to different points in this region.
 The clothing of the natives then consisted chiefly of parkas made of the breasts of birds or sea otter skins. They also wore the Kamalinkas, fashioned from the intestines of bear or sea lions Footwear, used little because most travel was by the sea, was very crude, sometimes consisting only of a rough wrapping of furs. The natives painted their bodies with soot and mineral colors and used piercing ornaments in their noses, cheeks and lips.
 Thelr food came chiefly from tbe sea. They ate salmon, sea lion, sea ducks and seals. Birds of various kinds, eggs and roots were also a part of their diet. They weregenerally improvident although for winter use berries were preserved in seal oil, as were seal and the meat of the , other pelagic animals.
 Habitat of the natives was crude. They lived Tn community houses, consisting of large bar abaras, a sod-covered dugout with a fireplace in the center, housing 15 to 20 families each. Their boats, or bidarkas, were we'll made, with and 2 matches, although the Russians introduc- ed the Snatch adaptation, pro- vidlng space for ? paddlers and a hunter. Weapons consisted of bows and arrows and darts and spears shot by means of a throw (continued on page 3

such view of the circumstances
at that time.
Justice Erickson's statement fol
lows:
"There has been a campaign in
which George Niewoehner and the Re
publican State Central Committee
have circulated various statements
concerning my service as a referee
with the National Railroad Adjust
ment Board These statements have
been made over the radio, through
certain newspapers and through the
mails signed by Mr. Newcomer, and
by anonymous mimeographed sheets.
"The point they are trying to put
across with all of this publicity is that
my service with that board was i'm
proper and that it interferred with my
duties as judge of the supreme court
of the state of Montana. And, furth-
er, an attempt has been made to make

when l was first called, nearly
three years ago, by the National Me-
diation Board to go to Chicago during
the summer recess of the court to sit
with this board to determine disputes
involving the railroads and their en-
ployees, l considered it a very high
honor to me and the state of Montana,
and accordingly l called in representa-
tives of the press and told them that

similar statement was given to the
press. Both of these statements were
carried by the Associated Press and
were widely published in daily and
weekly papers in the state. Similar
news reports appeared when | was
called a second time by the National
Mediation Board. During the primary
campaign in several public addresses
and radio speeches | also told of my
service with this board. Early this
spring Chief Justice Howard A. John
son, who was also called by the fed
eral government to serve with that
Board, made radio address over the

mine.
In recent years to avoid stoppages
due to strikes various mediation |
boards have been set up The Ma
tional Railroad Adjustment Board was |
created by an Act of Congress. The |
cases considered by this board are of
great importance and the National
Mediation Board, which calls the ref
srees, as matter of policy calls only
Judges of the various state supreme

After two lessons in one genera

mined that the land must not 60 out
of cultivation again. Whether his de-
sire will be realized or whether Brit
ain will return to the policy of inn
porting food as balance to manu-
factured goods exported, is one of
the problems of peace. Perhaps the
two can be correlated with the in
creased use of farm products for
manufacturing purposes.
In any event, the farmers of Eng

that this most peaceful of occupa-
