Here There Everywhere
Dedication of the new High School
tomorrow is the big event of the
week for Kodiak. This fine ultra
modern school should be a source
of pride to the School Board and
those who had a hand in its con
ception and planning stages to see
their efforts brought to fruition.
iCodiak now has an educational in
stitution where the formative
years of her young men and wo
'
EE
men can be developed al *ng the
proper lines, in an atmosphere to
bring out the best in them
This is not to say the school
makes the pupil or the student.
For without certain attributes of
leadership and aptitude for learn
ing, the finest surroundings will
in the final analysis fail. It would
be a pity if the young of Kodiak do
not avail themselves of the splen

at hand.
We understand a bear killed
four of Joe Zentner’s eattle last
week. This is a low-blow to the
Pasagshak cattle raiser. With many
sorties of this sort it wouldn’t be
long before the comparatively
young industry would be wiped out
in this area. From all accounts
bears seem to be on the increase
in the Chiniak and Pasagshak re
gion. Hunters who prize the furry
animal might well look the area
over for happy hunting grounds.
But look carefully into your sights
if you do. There are some fine
cattle there, too.

Here’s something for the live
stock and dairy man on Kodiak
Island. In fact it might be the
answer to the high cost of freight
ing feed for his cattle. The Mar
shal County News, of Marysville,
Kansas, reports that Sylvester
Ham, a local farmer, has a machine
called a “Herbadere" that produces
lush, green fodder for his twenty
cows in six days. “The machine is
located in a small room in a barn
on the Ham farm," says the paper."
It consists of just an enclosed
frame for a number of trays in
which the plants grow. Seed of
oats, barley, wheat, corn and other
grazing crops are soaked and pre
sprouted before being placed in
the machine. After planting, the
seed are covered with a solution
of a small amount of nutritive oats
in water. Within six days, the
plants reach a height of from eight
to twelve inches to afford fresh,
green feed for livestock. For poul
try, only about three days growth
is required. The “Herbagere” will
produce green grazing the vear
‘round.
Ben Hitchcock, Independent
Candidate for the territorial House,
has this to say: “Alaska’s Organic
Act of 1912 is as dry as most legal
writing, but for an Alaskan, read
ing it is an emotional experience.
The emotion is anger. When it
comes to self-government, we are
..treated as inferiors; but when it
;comes to Federal taxes and obli
.gations, we .are not only treated
:as equals, but more than equals.”
; Hitchcock seeks a 100% differen
tial. That would be good going—
but in the meantime, all we have
to look forward to is increased
taxes/

The federal government will
take in about $69,800,000,000, in
1957. This includes your nickels
and' dimes and mine, too. Expen
ditures'are estimate! at $69,093,
000,600, which according to my
arithmetic leaves a surplus of
$707,000,000. But don’t get an idea
that taxes are going to be cut
Treasury Secretary Humphrey has
said that tvro-an-a-half to three
billion must be in sight before a
tax cut is justified. Furthermore
it is learned the Administration
will ask Congress for $900,000,000
more in “supplemental appropria
tions for this fiscal year.
T. Coleman Andrews, the form
er Internal Revenue Commissioner
who established a record for ef
ficiency in collecting income taxes,
has been nominated for the presi
dency by the Houston convention
of the Constitution party. He calls
present tax collecting structure
“legalized confiscation,’ and is
gathering quite a following among
members of both major parties. A
tax-cutting president would be an
innovation in the White House, to
be sure.

There were only about 9100 rooms

Then there’s the fisherman in

prize-winning trout with a marsh

A U. S. Coast Guard station was
destroyed on the site during the
Civil War and in 1879 Charles
Schuld built a house on the land.
Since then some member of ihe
