One of our stalwart landmarks is getting a new face and new purpose. In the process of being converted to the Alaska Depart ment of Fish and Game Kodiak Research Center, the old federal jail has ended one function and started another This conversion is especially fitting since it also marks the end of one era (Alaska as territory and the beginning of a new one (Alaska as state).
 Changes taking place in the low grey concrete structure atop the hill overlooking the small boat harbor are not yet apparent to the casual observer. We still have visitors who wish to see police man or post bond. We must still use the names "old federal jail" or "Greybar Hotel" to get taxi to come to the right place.
 However, changes are in pro- gress. A secretary now holds forth in what used to be the marshal's office. Other offices and cells once used by jail staff and prisoners are now occupied by research per sonnel, working on salmon, king crab and game. The large cell at the north end is being made into a research library Gin cooperation with commercial fisheries) and will also have space for visiting biologists to work. The four walls of the kitchen now look down on various laboratory activities rang ing from examination of stomachS of predators on young salmon to studies of the trigger mechanism which causes king crab to period ically shed their old shells.
 Still more changes are planned

This first week of 1861, instead of an interview, we wish our sub- iects of 1860 very well, send fur ther greetings to the town of Ko- diak, Kodiak Island and the Naval Station, and look back in retro spect. For small town much has happened over the past twelve months. Our readers may not agree as to the relative importance of the item, we have culled from the Mirror files; to objections we will be sympathetic, but we ask your indulgence. !.
 AS the city fathers laid plans for new water supply after an earthquake had cracked and drain ed the reservoir, the first baby of the new year arrived, completely unconcerned, at 2:28 am. on Jan uary 1st. Cheryl Ann Schumacher'S proud father operates the Ships Barber Shop. The City Manager announced there was no longer any need to boil water and, the City of Kodiak established a new tax program, said to be equitable to all taxpayers.
 The city was offered the Federal Jail for use as a library and the two Alaskan senator's introduced bill in the U. S. House of reim- larger and heavier packages to be sent to and from Alaska via parcel
