Olaf Swenson Records Very
Strange Incidents on
Trading Trip to Si
beria in 1929
The cows eat fish in Si
beria, but that doesn’t im
prove the flavor of the milk
says the fur trader of Seat
tle, who should know.
The horses steal frozen
herring, too, and gallop a
way to eat it before their
masters find them out.
The Eskimos take their
fish in shavings; they put a
frozen fish in front of a fire \
until it is sufficiently thaw
ed for shavings to be whit
tled off.
Recorded In Diary
Seattle fur traders, who
have aided the creation of
a local industry after hav
ing to go into the Arctic for
fine furs, tells these things,
and Olaf Swenson record
ed some of them in his
diary on a trading trip to
Siberia in 1929. Following
are extracts:
“October 30, 1929: The
lives of the Karaki tribe
are either feast or famine.
The dog and his master suf
fer alike, except that the
native has a chance to tigh
ten his belt. The only place
where they have ample
food is where there is plen
ty of fish. Fish supply the
people with their food,eith
er dried, smoked or frozen.
“The more energetic dry
or smoke fish. The others
simply dig a hole in the
ground and throw the fish
in When it becomes thoro
ughly dry it can be eaten
with a spoon, but there are
no noticeable ill effects.”
“October 31, 1929: Most
Wrangell Man
Dies In Seattle
After III ness
_
(By The Associated Press)
Seattle, Dec. 2, — J. G.
Grant, Wrangell business
man, died in the hospital
here this morning, a vict
im of a prolonged illness.
He operated a hotel at
Wrangell, among other en
terprises.
Grant is survived by his i
widow now in Seattle, two
daughters Mrs. Harold
Thomas of Bremerton and
Mrs. A. R. Bruger of Wran
gell but now in California,
' and a son Neil Grant now
in Wrangell.
FOR SALE—A team of
seven sled dogs cheap for
cash. Inquire Jack O’Leary
of the fish on the coast is
eaten raw and frozen. You
put a fish near a fire until
the outer part thaws then
whittle off shavings. One
man who saw the operation
for the first time wrote to
his home that the natives
eat wood shavings.
Horese Steal and Run
‘The strangest thing is
that cows and horses eat
fish, too. I have seen a
horse steal a fish, hold it be
tween its teeth and run,
with the tail of the fish flap
ping against the horse’s
head.
“I didn’t particularly care
for the milk from fish-fed
cows, but the natives didn’t
mind the flavor, possibly
because all their food has
the same taste whether it
is fish, seal walrus or eider
duck.”
For Rent—Four room fur
nished house; also 2 room
cabin. Inquire at Nugget.
