i-WS, Alaska Fisheries
Co-Operate With Funds
For Better Enforcement
The co-operation between the
Alaska Department of Fisheries
and the Fish and Wildlife Serv
ice, inaugurated last year, will
continue this season, it was an
nounced recently by C. L. Ander
son, fisheries director. Mr. An
derson explained that last year’s
experiment cut overlapping costs,
and enabled the Fisheries Depart
ment to supplement the work of
the Fish and Wildlife Service,
when budget limitations cut into
its planned projects.
Last year the two agencies co
operated in supplying stream
watchmen for the red salmon
grounds in June, in construction
of a fish ladder at Paul’s Creek,
and in the study of troll salmon.

'Anyone Can Get a
House,' Says Kadow
Kenneth Kadow, chairman of
the Alaska Field Committee, re
cently told a Juneau audience
that “there is no reason now, if
anyone needs a house, why he
can’t get one, either by providing
the necessary 10 per cent equity
or by personal labor,” according
to a report in the Alaska Daily
Empire. Mr. Kadow said the first
objective of his committee was
nouaing and he felt the problem
was licked.

Tulsequah-Tidewater
Road Must Be Initiated
By Canada, Noyes States
A road from Canada’s Tulse
quah mining area to the shores of
Taku Inlet is both practical and
possible, Col. John R. Noyes, head
of the Alaska Road Commission,
told the Juneau Chamber of Com
merce recently. He added, how
; ever, that Canada must take the
! first steps to get it built.
The ARC head further added
that he didn’t think it would be
, reasonably possible to continue
i the road for an additional 25 miles
! to Juneau, but that the distance
; would represent only a short car
ferry haul.
! Juneau-ites are hailing the
possibility of the Tulsequah road,
since its construction, plus the
completion of other roads now
under construction in Canada,
would give the city a highway
and ferry connection with the
Alaska Highway and the states.
At 100-Plus. Kanatak Now
Decides He Needs Check-Up
A Kanatak resident, Andrew
Yackoshoff, who believes he is
more than 100 years old, made his
first visit to Kodiak in more than
20 years recently. Mr. Yacko
shoff thought he’d better make a
trip in to visit his physician, but
he plans to go right back to Kana
tak again. The old-timer remem
bers much of the original history
of Kodiak, friends say.
