CHAMBER MEMBERS
SEE FILM OF
CHIRIKOFF ISLAND
Colored films showing activit
ies on Chirikoff Island were view
ed by members of the Matanuska
Valley Chamber of Commerce at
their April 4 luncheon meeting.
The films were shown by Walt
Cooper and featured the cattle
on the island that he and Harry
Ryan, former Palmerite, are rais
ing for beef. Chirikoff beef will
be on the Alaskan markets with
in a short time, it was estimated.
The films showed the luxuriuos
grassland on the island, the houses
and buildings erected by the beef
company and several beach scen
es, showing the launching of
boats through the surf. Cooper
explained to the group that the
island has very little snow—
scenes taken in the month of De
cember showed a yellow dry
grass—in January just a small
scattering of snow on the ground.
Although the island has no trees,
Cooper said the buildings were
built out of cedar, redwood and
type wood, which drifts onto the
island. Several miles of fencing
were erected last year, using red
wood logs that were picked up
along the beach. Planking, squar
ed timbers, and good logs and in
abundance, he said.
Members of the Chamber
agreed to sponsor an evening
meeting at which time a panel of
mining personnel and engineers
and Ralph Brown, formerly with
the Alaska Development Board,
will be invited to participate in a
discussion of the Matanuska Val
ley mining industry and poten
tialities. A committee of three
