Activity On Beef
Front Continues
Kodiak’s beef cattle industry,
still in its infancy, came in for at
tention at last week’s Chamber of
Commerce meeting when a letter
was received from a group repre
senting the Farmer’s Home Admin
istration program in Alaska wrote
saying that loans might be avail
able for the industry here.
A1 Hochberger of the Kodiak
Branch of the Alaska National
Bank commented that much re
search is needed and cooperation
of the University on desirable
grasses to be grown which would
serve as replacements for alfalfa.
Also mentioned was the possi
bility of a slaughter house being
erected in Kodiak in the near fu
aure.
VISITING HERE
Mike Carroll, son of Gen. and
Mrs. Thomas P. Carroll of Juneau,
is visiting his grandparents, Etta
and Chuck Edris in Kodiak. The
lad’s father is the Adjutant Gen
eral of the Alaska National Guard.
Kodiak 25,000
Population Ten
Years From Now?
Kodiak, a community with a pop
ulation of 25,000 in 1972?
It just could be.
In a report to the Anchorage
Chamber of Commerce last week,
the committee studying the state
ferry system reports:
“In our committee report we
have suggested a tie of this (the
ferry system) nature may be ex
pected to accelerate the popula
tion of Kodiak upwards to 25,000
persons in a decade. The reasoning
is largely formula and it revolves
about the effect of surface trans
portation that ties supplementary
communities together in a grow
ing complex.”
The rising generation doesn’t
like to miss anything—and most
of them have cars to provide the
transportation.

Salmon Packing Picture Is Good
A healthy indicator of salmon
fishing in the Kodiak district
came this week with the release
of the salmon pack from seven
canneries in the area through
July 15 as reported by Dexter
Lall of Kodiak to the Alaska De
partment of Fish and Game.
The report reveals that
through the middle of July the
following number of cases were
packed: Kings 106; Reds 19,
621%,; Cohos 547; Pinks 38,100;
Chums 21,121; for a total of 79,
495%.
This compares with the 1961
pack report through July 16.'
Kings, 130; Reds, 15,845%; Co
hos, 15; Pinks, 16,246; Chums,
11,538 — for a total of 43,783.
(Note: the above figures do not
reflect the record catches that
began this week.)
The fellow who is thoroughly
satisfied with himself is about as
worthless as they come.
