Kodiak Gaining As Halibut Port

Seattle (P) Increasing amounts of halibut are being landed in Alaskan ports and at Bellingham, Wash, while land ings at Seattle are falling off, according to the Bureau of Com mercial Fisheries Market News which reported landings in Se- attle for the first eight months of the year at 9,10O,OO0 pounds compared to 11H2 million pounds at the same time last year.
 But Ketchikan landings re- ported for the same period are 1o,20O,00O pounds and Belling- hams 5,1OO,OOO pounds - both new records.
 The report said that Kodiak, operating for the first time as a major halibut port had landings of near 100000 pounds.

near our fertile Portlock Banks fishery, that, Although the stated objective of the Russian fishermen is sea bass, sea perch, and bottom fish, Alaskan fishermen are in- creasingly resentful of the activi. ties of foreign fleet in OffshOre Alaska waters during times and in places where American and Cana. dian fishermen are prohibited from fishing. Alaska fishermen have noticed that since Japanese and Russian fishing fleets have been active in off shore North Pacific waters the past few years, the sal mon have been appearing in Cook Inlet in scattered punches, rather than in concentrated schools as in years past. 1t is generally believed that the schools are broken up by the fishing effort in Offshore Wa ters, and that the salmon do not reschool before approaching the spawning grounds"
 l.
 We note with considerable satis- faction that the US. Senate this past week approved an amendment to the 1862 trade expansion bill which would empower the Presi- dent to act to help protect the American fishing industry from foreign encroachments. T h e amendment, strongly opposed by some soft-headed state department striped-pants diplomats worried about good relations" accom- panied a resolution (among whose sponsors were Alaska's Senators Bartlett and Gruening) calling for an international conference on fishery resources. Taking note of the intensive and extensive for eign fishing fleets in Alaskan Wa ters, Senator Magnuson of Wash ington stated: "The prospects of ocean areas being turned into des- erts, in which little or no edible life exists, should be of particular concern to nations of the northern hemisphere"

Sports fishermen may have a new specie round these parts to angle for. According to the Sep tember issue of the Alaska Sports man 10000 Grayling eggs were shipped from the Fire Lake hatch cry to Kodiak for stocking in June.
 t
 Also according to an item in the same publication (Whyn't someone bother to let the Kodiak Mirror know about these things anywayO Game Biologist Ron Batchelor of Kodiak reported that a local pilot has sighted sixteen mountain goats Tn the area where seven males and II female goats were released in 1852 and 1853 This is the largest number of animals observed at one time since this transplant and in dicateS that it may not be long before mountain goat hunting will become reality on Kodiak Island"

 Talking about transplants |. whatever became of the plan to bring moose and bison to Kodiak? It seems like a wonderful idea and maybe these animals would, like the transplanted Olympic Elk, be- come the giants of their breeds un- der our apparently ideal grazing conditions. Maybe Kodiak Island would, within few short years be- come the Home of Alaska's Giant Game AnimalS!" While they are at it perhaps it might be fun to try out a few walrus. Perhaps there are good geological reasons for not introducing these fine game ami mals here :. but it sounds like a good idea anyway, off hand.
 t
 Even with an increase over past years in the number of vessels en- gagged in king grabbing, it is hoped
Kodiak mirror., 1962-09-28

that there will not be repetition of last winters disasters when over 20 Kodiak fishermen lost their lives at sea. The newer additions 70 the fleet are generally considerably larger in size which adds to the safety factor (they still don't begin to compare with the huge Jap and Russian ships). Not only have the vessels increased in size, but also the crab pots are much larger and heavier and more expensive. Some pots now reach the 6'X6' square size! Fishing with the larg- CT, heavier pots in ever-deeper wa terS brought about general use of nylon lines and these nylon lines now cost as much by them selves as the pots When a fisher man loses pot :. =. not an infre- Quent occurrence it costs around S200, which doesn't take into consideration the loss of fish ing time until a replacement is made. In short, everything the fisherman uses today costs more than it did before and costs still keep rising in what is, at best, a risky and dangerous enterprise.
 t.
 At the peak of the summer sal mon, crab, shrimp and halibut sea- son, the small boat harbor had the appearance of a virtually empty sports boat marina But now with most of the salmon fleet moored in for the winter and many crab boats coming and going, it is be- coming apparent that it is just that :. small boat harbor :. too small. If they already haven't, city officials would be we'll ad- vised to make inquiries with the various canneries to determine how many more boats might be ex- pected in addition to the present fleets.

 Anchorage Times Correspondent Elsa Peders0n of Seldovia reported this week that a silver salmon, tagged east of Kodiak Island and south of Cape St. Elias, travelled 260 nautical miles to a point be- tween mid-Kalgin Island and the Kasilof River in a period of 23 days.

1t could well be, as one
county official puts it, "a
very interesting summer for
Montgomery County vot-
ers."
Chances of the state of Mary

political history quicken each
day, as the long and hard
fought battle for legislative re-
apportionment and invalidation
of the unit vote moves closer to
three major turning points.
Efforts to gain the county a
more equitable voice than it has
in decisions of the State Legis-
lature in Annapolis could keep
the fireworks going well past
the Fourth of July, and give the
voters a return trip to the pri-
mary polls before November.

and politicians alike - will be

Plans for a new Rockville
post office were announced this
week.
Michael Monroney, executive
assistant postmaster general,
said the new facility would be
located on a tract on N. Wash
ington st. that begins at Mar
tins la. and extends 352 feet
north.
The site Is at the con-
fluence Of N. Washington and
HungerfOrd dr., diagOnally
across from Hechinger's.
Monroney said the Post Of
flee Department holds an "as-
signable option" on the site and
that plans and specifications
for the new building, as well
as bidding forms and other per-
tinent data, will be made
available to prospective bidders
lat an early date"
The building will be con-
structed by private interests
who will retain ownership of
the structure, leasing it to the
federal government on a long
term basis.
A Post Office Department
spokesman said a conservative
estimate of the buildings cost
is $4,000 and that II could
take up to one year before con-
struction is started. The lease,
he explained, could run for as
long as 40 years.
Rockville postal workers have
worked for years under seri-
ously overcrowded conditions
in the present post office at f.
Montgomery and N. Washing
ton ayes.
In 1854, the post office -
about to burst at the seams
was nearly doubled from 5000
to 5000 square feet by convert
verting the basement into us
able space and adding a sub
station at TWnbrook.

Reapportionment Riddle
Voter Confusion Could Just Begin
When Ballots Are Cast on Tuesday

day members of both the Demo
cratic and Republican State
Central Committees meet to
cast their traditional county
unit votes for the candidates for
statewide office.
Under Maryland's unique
election system, primary candi-
dates are nominated on the
basis of unit votes, rather than
on the popular vote. This has
resulted, four times in the past,
in candidates winning the popu-
lar vote but losing the nomina-
lions.
The Fair Representation
Committee, In a second court
action filed this week, also
seeks to prevent the unit.vOte
system from being followed
when the state central com.
mittees meet.
Specifically, it asks that the
unit vote under present appor-
tionment be declared unconsti-
tutional and that the presiding
officers of the two central COM
mittees be restrained from Ger.
tifying any nominees other than
those who win the primary pop
ular vote.
Pending Judge Ducketts rul-
ing on the two court actions,
decision on the victors in the
primary presumably will be de-
layed and the candidates win,
lose or draw-could remain just
candidates.
If Judge Duckett rules the
states present system of repre-
sentation unconstitutional, Gov.
J. Millard Tawes - himself a
candidate for reelection - has
announced he will move quickly
for a special session of the Cen
eral Assembly to set up a new
apportionment formula.
To sidestep the necessity for
a special referendum on making
the new formula part of the
state constitution, the Maryland
Court of Appeals has ruled that
the referendum can be waived
to allow legislators to establish
the formula by statute.
What happens after this is
still In doubt. The best legal
minds In the county see three

was a discussion of the pro-
posed town right-of-way through
the Bogley property opposite
the Gaithersburg Civic Center.
The right-of-way would be for
an extension of Cedar ave. from
Frederick ave. to Summit ave.
No decision was reached.
The Council also opposed an
increase of fire rates from
seven cents to ID cents in the
commercial area. Members OPP
posed the hike because of the
towns fire-fighting equipment,
unlimited water supply and fire
inspection system.
Members adopted the national

ACLU Files
Pleading in
Rape Case

The American Civil Liber-

Maryland Court of Appeals
to allow it to intervene on
behalf of two Montgomery

fenced to death in the rape
Of a 16-year-old girl.
The motion, it was learned
yesterday, was filed with the
states highest court where the
sentences of John and James
Giles, of Spencerville, will be re-
viewed.
Local attorney representing
the youths is Stedman Prescott,
