Assures Alaskan
Representation
On Fishery Talks
JUNEAU—Governor William A.
Egan last week reported receipt of
assurance from Under Secretary of
State George Ball that Alaska will
be represented on the United
States delegation at any meeting
called for renegotiation of the
North Pacific Fisheries Conven
tion.
The assurance came in reply to
a request made by the Governor
after noting newspaper references
to a possible meeting of representa
tives of the United States, Japan
and Canada to discuss future treaty
arrangements.
Ball said no definite arrange
ments have been made for a meet
ing and there is no certainty that
one will be held.
“You may be sure,” he added,
“that we will provide for represen
tation from Alaska on our delega
tion to any meeting which will have
as its purpose renegotiation of the
present treaty.”
Family Fishing
Bill Requested
JUNEAU—Governor William A.
Egan has asked Alaska’s Legisla
ture to extend the number of per
sons eligible for subsistence hunt
ing and fishing licenses to include
all members of a family
Present law authorizes purchase
of the twenty-five cent license only
by the head of a family or one sole
ly dependent upon himself for sup
port.
In a letter submitting the bill
for introduction, Gov. Egan said
subsistence hunting and fishing
“are often carried on by a family
as a unit whole, with the wife and
dependent children accompanying
the head of the family when they
procure their food by this means.”
He said the proposed amendment
would clarify the existing law and
make all members of a family, in
cluding the mother, eligible for a
subsistence license. Such a change,
he said, would be consistent with
the underlying principles of sub
sistence licensing.
To be eligible for a subsistence
license, a person must show that
he is receiving or has received
State or Federal indigent care dur
ing the preceding six months, had
an annual income of less than $800
in the year preceding application,
or has historically been dependent
on fish and game for subsistence.

Stocking Of Barren Potential Fish
Producing Island Lakes Is Urged
Specific attention to Kodiak’s
many barren but potential salmon
producing lakes was called for by
Karl Brunstad in a letter to Sen.
Bob Bartlett last week.
“It was with interest and ap
proval that I read about you intro
ducing a bill to provide up to 25
million dollars in federal funds to
help states develop fishery re
sources over a period of five years,
and that up to 5 million could be
appropriated each year,” wrote
Brunstad, a veteran former Kodiak
fisherman who served on the fish
eries board back in Territorial
days.
“There are many barren poten
tial salmon producing lakes on Ko
diak and Afognak islands. During
all the years that the federal gov
ernment had control of the Alas
kan fishery, no effort whatsoever
was made to make these lakes pro
ductive,” said Brunstad, adding.
“Alaska’s own fishery depart
ment has successfully developed a

formerly barren lake on Afognak
Island into a producer. The state
is now laddering the second largest
lake on Kodiak Island — Frazer
Lake — enabling the salmon to
abscend and reproduce. For inst
ance, the third largest lae— Speri
don Lake—is barren bacause of the
falls that salmon cannot get over. I
mention this in connection with my
approval of your bill and stress the
necessity of such legislation.
“By transferring salmon spawn
from Siberia to northern Europe,
the Russians proved to the world
what transplantation can accom
plish. According to fishery publi
cations several salmon from such
stocking were caught in the Nor
wegian coast, a few were caught in
Iceland and one in Scotland.
“I know that our federal govern
ment has helped other nations de
velop their fishery. That’s okey!
But I regret how little has been
done so far to develop the domes
tic, dormant fishery resource. En
actment of your bill is the answer.
I also hope that funds for the Fish
and Wildlife Service will be pro
vided in order to develop poten
tial producing lakes and streams at
the various federal reservations
throughout the entire United
States and possessions,” Brunstad
concluded.
FILE A REPORT
If you have an accident or if
anyone is hurt or property is dam
aged you are to report the same to
the Kodiak Police Department im
mediately and file a report of the
mishap. If you do not and leave
the scene of an accident you are
subject to arrest for this reason.
Stray Dogs Give
Police Bad Time
Packs of stray dogs have been
noticed running loose lately by the
police department which has
picked up a couple of the animals.
The Department considers this
as ample warning for those dogs
who do not have tags or whose
owners let them loose.
Under State law if the dogs do
not have a tag on them they can
be destroyed at once.
The local department asks your
cooperation on this matter.

Yule Chaffin Writes Impressions Of Trip
To Various Cattle Ranches On Kodiak
An article in the current Alaska
Stockgrowers Association newslet
ter tells of a trip Mrs. Darrell Chaf
fin of Woody Island recently made
to the Joe Beatty ranch on Kodiak
Island. The report follows:
On Jan. 8 we took a drive out is
far as the Beaty ranch. The roads
were in excellent condition for this
time of the year with just a few
inches of light snow. We stopped
for a while at Tom Felton’s log
ranch home. Tom’s neat, clean
cabin always has such a homey
hospitable feeling, and Tom, him
self. is a good host with a welcom
ing pot of coffee always ready. We
saw some of Tom’s calves not far
from the ranch home and farther
on some of his blocky, black Angus
cows were feeding on the alder
bushes along the fence. They cer
tainly are in fine shape for this
time of year.”
We saw a few of Joe Zenter’s
young Angus bulls feeding in feed
troughs along the road on the vay
to Beaty’s ranch. Joe Beaty and a
helper were out in the slaughter
house butchering when we got
there. I wish you could see that
slaughter house. It is a model >f
neatness, efficiency and cleanli
ness. ... We couldn’t help but won
der at some of the regulations con
cerning butchering for commercial
use. So many places in the “south
48” couldn’t compare with this for
sanitary conditions. Though about
the remark and quoted in your Oc
tober newsletter. . . . “There is no
proper slauhgter house around Ko
diak where there are several herds
of cattle ... so, they cannot pass
government inspection” (remark
made by Naval officer from the
Quartermaster Corps in Seattle.
Wonder if they had ever really
seen Beaty’s set-up.”
“We found that none of the
ranchers had started feeding yet
except for a few calves, young bulls
and some ‘poor keepers.’ Yet, in
general, all the cattle we saw that
day looked pretty good. Over here
on Woody Island, where grazing
is not as good this time of year on
our limited acreage, the Baptist
Mission have started feeding their
cattle . . . mostly pellets with a
small amount of roughage.”
