Saturday Apr. 4
20 fish in trap.  Bidarshik goes with Kurill to look at it.  Thermometer 80° in the sun.  Clear the snow off the roof as the house is leaking badly.  Russian Palm Sunday.

Sunday April 3
Make bullets 450 - which with about 200 I have on hand will be plenty for my trip.  Cut ditches to let off the water in the yard;  which is full of dung & dirt, the Russians too lazy to clean it out.  House leaking like a seive.  Kurill & Johnnie cut wood in P.M.  Whatever may be his faults I can certainly give him a clean certificate on the wood question.  Very warm & pleasant weather, a very early spring.

Monday April 6
Get my hair cut short by Tarentof.  Long hair in this country is a great nuisance winter or summer.  Kurill goes to the trap & gets 26 fish.  The Russians with five traps got only 45.  Two sled from Koyoukuk.
