Why Not Kodiak For The Capital?
From all appearances, it would appear that the issue of moving
the capital from Juneau will appear on the ballot in November, and
the forces of Southeastern Alaska are beginning to bolster their at
tack against the Anchorage-Fairbanks area.
Historically, the distinction belongs to Kodiak. Kodiak was the
first capital when the Russians settled in Alaska, and most certainly
we have tradition and history on our side.
Then, too, Juneau residents would rather see Kodiak as the
capital than some community near Anchorage. Such a move would
gain some support from the Southeastern sector of the state, and a
heavy majority of Anchorage-Fairbanks voters would prefer Kodiak
to Juneau, so we have picked up some more support in our campaign.
But the most important reason we advance for Kodiak becoming
the seat of Alaskan goversment is that we could cancel out air trans
portation of both the Senators and House of Representative members
until the legislature built us some roads on the island.
We are fully cognizant that it is a facetious argument, but prob
ably no worse than we can expect to hear about in the forthcoming
weeks. Probably we can view the struggle better from a non-biased
point of view than most bidders—at least we had the distinction
once.—B.M.
Obey Speed Laws,
Emergency Rules
Drivers Are Told
Kodiak drivers were warned this
week to pay strict adherence to the
speed limits by Chief R. E. Vick
ery, who insists that all violators
are subject to stiff fines.
Chief Vickery also warned that
the approach of an emergency ve
hicle, going to a fire or an ambu
lance or police car, requires that
all persons in other vehicles pull
over to the side of the road and
remain parked until the emer
gency car has passed. All emer
gency vehicles are equipped with
red lights and siren, and your fail
ure to pull over could bring about
a serious delay in answering the
call.
The chief reports that all emer
gency drivers have also been told
to drive with extreme caution.

mary elections in the middle of the
fishing season. There is strong in
dication that a write-in campaign
to attempt a draft of Pete Deveau
is developing among many fisher
men, many of whom regarded him
as an outspoken spokesman for
their interests in the legislature.
Whether fishermen and their al
lies (particularly cannery workers)
are numerous and unanimous
to accomplish such an upset as to
re-elect the House Majority Leader
is not known, of course . , . but it
is readily evident that such an at
tempt would make the general
election exciting. A three-way race
should serve to encourage Repub
licans in this normally overwhelm
ing Democratic legislative district
in that their candidate, Chuck Pow
ell, received a record number of
votes for a GOP candidate.

Before our good friend George
Ameigh departed Kodiak last
week he found out the right ad
dress for getting all he could want
of our giant King Crab in the fu
ture. In fact, just before he left he
went down to Martin’s Fresh King
Crab and bought 400 pounds of
fresh King Crab at Ray Jr.’s newly
renovated plant from which he
ships thousands of pounds of fresh
King Crab every week now. The
plant is open every day but Sunday
now and orders can be placed by
phone or by mail. He can ship it
to most anywhere in the nation
and it is a good way to acquaint
your stateside friends with the de
sirability of serving fresh Kodiak
King Crab as well as impress them
with the enormous size of our
King Crab.
