who knows he mpy yet' cob
tribute to the world in a life of
usefulness.
The child was obtained for adop

games cross country skier from

Finland in February. Ttore being
no snow within miles of Anchor
age, the skier—you guessed it—is
moving to where there is snow. He

would have thought Alaska, with
its reputation of fee and snow,
would have let him down like that.

It '•osts 30 per cent more for
forty ^ ms of food found on the
shelves of Kodiak stores, than it
does in Seattle, according to a
study made by economists of the
University of Alaska. The report
just released was for September.
No record was kept for Kodiak a
year ago, but the cost was about
the same for September last year
in several Alaskan cites. Meats,
and bacon showed the greater
price rise.
SMALL BOAT HARBOR
(Continued from Page 1)
Hauling and dumping started on
October 29th and up to November
9th, 703 truckloads had been
driven from the quarry. Of there,
250 truckloads were dumped on
the road between Monashka Bay
and the harbor site for repair pur
poses.
Tice pointed out that the eight
trucks being used have been aver
aging 60 truck loads a day with
eight or nine yards of rocks per
load.
Dredging started Monday Nov
ember 4 and to date 17,400 yards
of fill have been sucked from the
basin and channeled through pipes
to the sites of two outer break
waters.
Working 24 hours a day, the
dredge has travelled ,630 feet in
the two weeks of operation. The
barge moves by two long pivots,
called “spuds”, which dig into the
sea bottom and “walk”-the dredge
along, swinging the front, of the
d-;dge in a 150 feet arc as it
moves forward.
Of the suction pipe which pro
vides in front of the dredge, Tyce
Issued a warning. “Last Saturday
some children were coming into
the harbor site in skiffs and had
to be sent away. If they had got
closer to the dredge and pipe, they
would have been sucked down.”
Scheduled completion date for
the construction is September 1,
1958. Tyce said that dredging will
continue until completed, unaffect
ed by bad weather. It is not known
yet if weather conditions will pre
vent breakwater construction dur
ing the winter.
Captain of the dredge, Art
Mulvar, designed it himself. He
has worked on every harbor con
struction in Alaska. Superinten
dent of the job,, Roger Morris,
chief engineer, Floyd Barney and
Mulvar have all worked in Kodiak
previously—once in 1939 on con
struction at Womens Bay and in
1953 for the Navy.
