EDITORIAL
Local organizations and merchants should capitalize on ;
the interest created by the coming four day deer hunt on Ko- j
diak Island. Some group shuuld sponsor a contest and award
prizes to the hunters taking the finest trophies.
This is the first time since the 1920’s, when deer were !
first placed on the Island, that a legal bunt has been author- i
ized. Other progressive towns and cities in the territory regu
larly sponsor fishing derbys, hunts, and other sporting con
tests. ! •
Hunters from many parts of the territory and possibly j
from the states will come here to hunt deer between August i
20 to 23. Hundreds of local and Kodiak Naval Station residents
will join in the hunt. ■
These hunters will spend a considerable sum of money
on -tuns, ammunition, transportation, hunting clothing, guide i
fees etc. to hunt the deer.
Business houses and organizations should offer a prize.
The cost would be negligible when you consider the good will
and favorable publicity that will result from such a move.

Governors Favor
Alaska Statehood
Seattle (A*) —For the first
time in seven years the Na
t’onal Governors’ Conference
failed to adopt a resolution
backing statehood for Alaska
and Hawaii.
No resolutii n for Alaska
sta: . hood was p esented for
tin ^ovtrnors consideration.
The Nat: mal Republican Ad
miniHr; t >n’s policy has been
to favor statehood for Hawaii
but not Alaska.
Governor Heintzlemen,
President Eisenhower ap
pointee, apparently followed
that policy in not presenting
the usual Alaska resolution.
Since the National Demo
cratic policy favors statehood
for both Alaska and Hawaii
the Democratic governors of
the resolution committee
killed the measure supporting
Hawaii.
Fish Ladders
May Be Built
The Alaska Department of
Fisheries is considering build
ing “salmon ladders” along
the stream leading to Frazer
Lake, located on the south end
of Kodiak Island.
■ C. L. Anderson, director of
the ADF, was in town this
week to check on the plan and
to inspect a similar project at
Paul’s Lake, on Afognak Is
land.
The department constructed
salmon ladders so that the re
turning salmon can get around
the fall and into the upper
lakes to spawn.
Green salmon eggs were
planted in Frazer lake in 1951
52 and 53. Recent test show
that there is enough food in
the lakes for the young salmon
fry.
If the territorial legislature
appropriates enough money a
series of ladders will be built
around the falls which make
it difficult for the salmon. En -
giheers have surveyed the
area and believe this can be
accomplished with a small a
mount of concrete work and
by blasting out sections of
rocks to form resting nools.
Application for a marriage
license has been made by
Robert R. Meads of the navy,
of Provincetown, Mass..and
Miss Pariscovia Pestrikoff of
Ouzinkie.
