KODIAK ASKS ROAD TO NAVY
 AIR BASE SITE

Improvement of road from Ko- diak to the site of the naval air base is imperative if Kodiak is to derive just benefits from the &C., tivity and if labor and enlisted per sonnel are to enjoy the benefits afforded by an established com munity," the Governors office was informed today in telegram from Warren A. Taylor, Secretary of the Kodiak Chamber of Commerce.
 The present road is narrow, has many sharp curves and needs a new bridge at Buskin River.
 The Alaska Road Commission has estimated it would cost $75,000 to improve the road and Kodiak sug- gests that part of a $100,000 navy appropriation for road construction on the reservation be used for this purpose.

GOOD NEIGHB0R COUNTRIES HITTING AT FOREIGNERS BY
 TACTICS OF APPROPRIATION
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, June 23.-The good neighbor countries to the south are showing an increasing disposi- ton to take a.larger share in the profits from foreign exploitation of their natural resources, as Chile's current deal with the oil companies indicates.
 The process Chile adopted was somewhere between outright ex- propriation and a forced sale. Mex ico went it the hard way with out right appropriation of oil and land properties. Her rather limited suc- cess with the plan may have discour- aged outright appropriation by some of the other countries.
 Bolivia seized Standard Oils hold ings in that country after some ill., natured pickering between the gov- ernment and the courts. Costa Rica has pending a piece of legislation authorizing seizure of power prop critics of Electric Bond and Share, but that has been quietly forgotten for a year or more.

BIG BATCH OF
 TROUT EGGS TO
 FLY TOMORROW
I65, 900 Eyed SteeIhedd Going 10 Fairbanks
 on PAA Plane

Some 65,000 steelhead trout eggs in the eye stage are aboard the Baranof enroute here from Ketchi- kan to be taken by PAA plane to- morrow to Fairbanks for planting in barren lakes in the Interior.
 The eggs, the first batch to be transported in this manner, arc from the U. s. Forest Service hatch cry at Ward Lake. They are to be planted at Fairbanks with the CO., operation of the Panama Valley Sportsmen's Association.
 If it proves impossible to find room for the two and a half bulky cases of eyed eggs on the Electra, they will be shipped around through Anchorage by steamer and railroad.
 Premature
 The first batch of eggs from the hatchery was ready last Tuesday, but transportation was not avail able, so they were planted in Punchbowl lake near Ketchikan, having already started to hatch out.
 The eggs are shipped in iced trays.
 Planting of eyed eggs has proved much more economical than plant ing of fish, the Forest Service has found. Their rate of survival is better and they are transported more easily.
 A shipment of 10000 eggs from Port Walter is expected shortly for planting in Southeast Alaska.

NEED MONEY BADLY


 All the southern countries need money (and who doesn't?). That has led them to look inquiringly into larger participation in the returns of the big foreign companies operating within their borders. In- cidentally, there is written into the constitution of every last jack one of them a provision authorizing them to seize private property, in cluding that of foreigners. Each constitution also carried an em- phatic statement that such seizures must be paid for, but not necessarily in cash. Mexico hasn't paid for her seizures yet, either in cash or bonds, although she doubtless will when an agreement on price is reached
 In Chile no oil fields are involved, just a distribution system-service stations. The companies, of which Standard Oil was one, were willing enough to turn the business over to the government and set a price at 5000 0O0 for the whole works.
 "Too much" said Chile.
 So Chile made a counter offer. She had the right to seize the prop erty and dicker afterward, but didn't. At the present moment the companies and the government are about to agree on something between $2,O0OOOO and $2,5ne,0O0. When a price is agreed upon, Chile will lex propriate."
 To observers here it appears a fairly orderly process. Chile is hard pressed for money, perhaps more than any other South American na- ton. The earthquake several months ago cost heavily. The gov- ernment expects to make a little money out of the oil distribution monopoly-enough to pay off the oil companies and help rebuild the country.

SALMON STUFFED CABBAGE
TEMPS YOUR APPETTTEs

Cabbage has undoubtedly had one
Of the most iIlustrious of vegetable
careers! Once worshipped as q deity
by the ancient Egyptians this hum
bic green vegetable was credited
with possessing the power Of pre-
venting drunkenness by the epicurea
of Greece and Rome. Today it ia
praised by nutrition authorities as
one OF the most valuable of all veg
etables fom a dietary standpoint.
To modern menu-planners faced
with the problem of satisfying sub
stantial appetites as well as not-so-
substantial budgets. cabbage has the
additional virtue of economy to rec
ommend 1t.
One of the most satisfying and de-
licious main dishes for late winter OF
early spring service features two OF
Alaska's native products head OF
cabbage cooked whole, stuffed with
canned salmon. In this excellent fla
vor combination are united two OF
the most wholesome and economical
of foods.
Canned salmon, the featured pro-
TEN food in this entree Is rich In
essential minerals and vitamins,
making it an excellent choice as the
protein food for many cold weather
menus. A few extra cans of salmon
is a wise choice on the grocery or
der and one that will save many
shopping trips on clustering days.
To prepare cabbage for stuffug
with salmon, remove the outer
leaves from a medium sized head OF
cabbage. Place the whole head in
a large pan of boiling, sailed water
and cook rapidly uncovered for
approximately fifteen minutes. Re-
move from boiling water and cut
inner leaves from head of sabbage.
Stuff with creamed salmon.
Salmon Stuffed Cabbage
l pound canned salmon

Salt and pepper

Make a white sauce with butter,

mon and sprinkle with lemon Juice
and add to white sauce. Fill cabbage
with salmon mixture, sprinkle with
bread crumbs and place stuffed cab
bage head in baking dish. Place in
hot oven for ten minutes or until
mixture is thoroughly heated and

ALASKA BOUND TENDERS

which has tied up three cannery

The tenders. picketed by the ALL

Duwamish waterway, with Alaska
Fishermen's union crews remaining
aboard. Harris said that unless the
deadlock is broken there is small
hope that any of the company's fleet
of tenders will go north this sea-
son. Other canneries face the same
dilemma.

THANKSzDUE

Thanks are due the newly inaug-
urated radio station W6XBE at
Treasure Island, San Francisco, for
the excellent programs offered the
residents of Alaska. The station is
on from to z p. m. Pacific Stan
dard Time, on 1890 kilocycles. 1t
is excellent at dinner time and an in
creasingly large number of Wran-
CELL families report listening in ev-
cry afternoon and evening. AS the
station will be on for the 2s8-days
duration of the Golden Gate Inter
national Exposition we will have
much enjoyment from it
Prior to the inception of The
transmission, the only reliable short
wave reception on the Pacific coast
was offered by the odd transmissions
by the RCA stations at Bolinas for
benefit of the islands. The regular
standby was W8XK, which at times
is very good, but not certain.
However, those who have been
keeping close check on the Treasure
Island frequency since shortly after
the first of the month find that
with the exception of a slow fade
approximately once in two seconds,
and which is manifested about every
other day, reception has been ample
to drown out even the most severe
local noise.
The excellence of the Treausre
Island programs is such that it will
pay all having radio sets to have
them serviced peaking on that sta
ton. Where It is possible to trim
the oseillator on sets which do not
ordinarily tune as high as $500
kiloclcles. it should be done even at
the expense of improper dial read
ings at that point.
Radio plays such a tremendous
part in the daily lives of Alaskans
who are deprived of the opportun-
tiles of enjoying many of the
things offered in the states, that
it is certain the Treasure Island
station will become most popular
with US in the north country.

Thirty-three years age today,
Wrangell was swept by a disastrous
fire that is still spoken of by those
living here who went through that
event as THE FIRE,
The Alaska Sentinel, published by
A. v. R. Snyder and Son, was in the
path Of the fire and the greater part
of the printing plant was destroyed.
Enough type and equipment were
saved so that the suyders were able
TO set up a temporary shop and on
the following Thursday issue the
newspaper as usual with the exeep-
ton that in the emergency it was
prited in red ink on butchers wrap
ping paper salyaged from the fire.
The newspaper was diminished to
four-page two-eolumn, six by eleven
inch formal.
Copies of this issue are today a
curiosity and the Wrangell Sentinel
acknowledges with thanks a copy
recently received from Larry C. Nc
Kechnie of Juneau The paper, with
the exception of some advertising,
is devoted entirely to the fire which
is described as follows.
Shortly after 4 o'clock Saturday
afternoon smoke was seen issuing
from one of the rooms on the sec
ond floor of the Pioneer Hotel, and
an alarm of fire was quickly sound
ed The citizens turned out soon
and every possible effort was put
forth in an attempt to squeleh the
fire and thereby save the burning
building and adjoining ones. But
without avail The fire crawled
along between the walls. and before
much effective work could be done,
had taken hold on all the adjoining
buildings, after which nothing could
be done except to stand back and
watch it burn. When the fire had
reached almost to the store of the
st. Michael Trading Co. a small
building or two were torn down,
forming a gap over which the fire
could not leap in the face of the
brisk north breeze. This, alone was
all that saved the town from being
obliterated from the map of Alaska
