KODIAK ISLANDS
I
That the Island of Kodiak and the
adjoining islands forming the Kodiak
group, have today one of the greatest
t opportunities for the average man ot
limiited means, in all the south west
ern portions of Alaska, is the state
ment made by Mrs. Stubaugh who
came from Kodiak and who goes out
side for a short business trip.
The group being directly in the
Japan current gives a good climate
and during the winter very little snow
fails.
The volcanic ash which fell a few
years ago, gave the islands only a
temporary setback. All vegetation Is
growing better than ever now, prov
ing the ash to have been a good ferti
lizer. Different kinds of berries grow
in abundance. For miles upon mile
you can see the high grass rolling as
does the ocean with the wind, making
a most beautiful sight, and awaiting
only the hand of man to convert same
into beef or mutton, and make Kodiak
one of the greatest grazing countries
in the world.
On parts of the islands there are
great forests of spruce. Kodiak island
having many fine harbors the fishing
industry is an important one. The
Northwestern Fisheries cannery at
Uyak is one of the largest on the Paci
fic coast Blodget and Blinn have a
cannery near the town of Kodiak and
are now in the midst of a very busy
season, the catch this summer being
one of the best on record.
The government hatchery on Afog
na island under the able management
of Mr. Winn is doing very good work
in replenshing the waters with sal
mon. This hatchery is one of the few
of its kind in the United States.
The mining industry is coming to
the front and br prospecting is in
creasing more valuable lodes are be
ing discovered and developed. The
Uyak mines, under the management
of F. A. Oarnell, are busy at the pres
ent time. During the past year con
siderable development work was done
on the Uganak copper claims, show
ing large deposits of copper, nickle
and cobalt ores of very high grade.
Some work is being done on Dry island
and the gold and copper mines of
Women's bay are showing up well.
Thus the islands are offering good in
ducements to the prospector.
The fox industry has been success
fully carried on during the past 25
years but owing to the low price of
furs at the present time raisers are
not doing so well as they ordinarily
would. Better prices on furs are
looked for in the near future. Even
as it is the fox industry is a very
good investment under capable man
OUTLINES IRK
TO BE DONE
THISTEIR
In a letter which was received some
time ago by all of the members of
Congress, Chairman W. C. Edes of
the Alaska Engineering Commission
warned the senators and representa
tives from the various districts of the
United States against a possible
stampede to Alaska by persons look
ing for work. The letter reads as
follows:
"As you doubtless have many In
quires from your constituenrs con
cerning the proposed government rail
road in Alaska, asking how the work
is to be carried on and what method
should be pursued in applying for a '■
position in connection therewith, a
brief statement of the conditions may
be of value.
“The work this season consists, first
in completing the surveys. For this
purpose five locating parties, consist
ing of from 15 to 20 mpn Pnrh have I
been put in the field. Each of these
parties contain two or three technical
engineers of experience with a com
plement of rodmen, chalnmen and ax
men.
“Secondly, some construction work
has been started and is being carried
on mostly by station men, these be
ing associations of a few men who
form a partnership to grade short
stretches of work and who do the
work themselves. A small supervis
ing force of engineers and foremen is
necessary. This work is under the
general supervision of members or
the commission. In addition to this a
few men are employed dirertly by the 1
commission in establishing terminal
facilities, unloading freight, etc.
"Later in the season some work
will be done in repairing the Alaska
. Northern railroad, lately purchased
I by the government.
“A large number of applications
.has been received for all positions
connected with the work and it is im-1
possible to consider but a small frac-j
tion of them. All the engineering!
positions have been provided for and
it is unlikely there will be any va-1
cancies. Not more than two or three
construction trains will be in service
this season and these will require all
other branches of the work.
“We can therefore offer but little
encouragement to applicants. There
are already many men in Alaska cap
able of serving Ip all the various posi
tions, many of whom will have to be
disappointed in getting work. Posi
tions are made by appointment and
are made solely on the base of merit.
Appointments do not come under civil
service. All applicants should ad
dress the Alaska engineering commis
sion at Seward, Alaska, stating posi
tion desired, experience and giving
