sometime during July. People in
the community of about 200 be
came so incensed finally over these
incidents that they were preparing
to shoot such invaders.

And another lady, Alice Lekan
off, who recently made a trip home
to visit her folks in the Pribiloff
Islands tells us about a Japanese
fishing fleet that was in that area
in May. “There was over 30 boats.
Once when Dad was camping he
saw two boats. One was larger
than a Navy supply boat. It was
using a search light along the
shore. My Dad and brother didn’t
sleep well that night because they
were afraid some of the crew
would try to come ashore. It evi

dently was closer than the three
mile limit. Another boat was seen
off the shore last month and the
man who saw it said it looked like
a carrier.”
And still another lady, Virginia
Kvasnikoff, tells us about receiv
ing a letter from her sister at
Sand Point telling about foreign
ships whaling in the straits be
tween Unga and Nagai Islands.
She said these foreign whaling
boats wtere easily visible from
Sand Pont and were Russian and
Japanese.

At last week’s chamber of com
merce meeting the Fisheries Com
mittee, headed by Dave Savoie
during the absence of chairman
Ralph Jones, received unanimous
approval of it’s suggestion that the
chamber write to Alaska Steamship
Co. and railroads requesting a thru
rate for Kodiak fisheries products
destined for the midwest, south
and eastern states. The action was
requested by Alaska Ice & Storage
after such a rate arrangement was
granted to Ketchikan.

ADF&G’s Dexter Lall tells us
that although the catch of pink
salmon this season exceeds that
of the parent year (1961) by about
600,000 the total case pack is be
hind by about 31,000 cases. He ex
plained that this is due to the fact
that there were less chum and
red salmon caught than in 1961.
The 1961 pack was about 352,000
cases while this year so far the
pack is about 321,397 cases.

Skipper Odd Ronstad of the
North Beach insists that he recent
ly spotted a mermaid . . . “but she
got away.” Claims he saw this un
usual sea creature “at about 5 a.m.
just off the beach near the “Beach
combers.”

Suggestion: City Fathers and/or
the Harbormaster might well take
note of the fact that numerous
fishermen and other people have
been complaining about the slip
pery condition of floats in the
small boat harbor during wet
weather. Sprinkling with salt has
been suggested as one means by
which to avoid a perhaps costly
law suit.
Arrivals of Jim Branson here and
his permanent assignment as a
high seas fishery enforcement
agent of the federal government
is significant and encouraging. It
suggests that the feds are begin
ning to become aware of what has
caused foreign nations to outfit
fleets costing hundreds of millions
of dollars ot operate in our Kodiak
and Gulf of Alaska waters:
That is that our waters are per
haps the richest in resources of
any on the entire planet! Those
with this knowledge and any sense
at all know these resources are
barely touched at present even
though they already represent mil
lions of dollars of products.
