Tourist Development
Gets Strong Support
By ODEP Committee

Further consultations have been
since Dixon's report
and on June "a the Denver Post
carried an extensive report upon
the plans for the $50 million tour
ist project.
The project is expected to even
tually include 81 tourist centers
in Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico,
Utah, Wyoming, Montana, North
Dakota and South Dakota.
According to company officials
OF Frontier West Corporation. the
developers, the five stations now
planned to be open next June will
cost near $4 million each and will
have sleeping, eating, shopping and
recreation facilities for l 900
guest plus wagon-train type of
compound for mobile camper vans.
The centers will be patterned
after the remount outposts of
100 years ago and will feature
bunkhouSes which can be parti-
toned and sleep up to six people
for large families or groups.
Also, bus companies and From
tier Airlines will cooperate in
tourist promotions for various
types of tourist tours and it is
expected the 81 tourist recre-
ationa, centers will have an an
nual revenue of $48 million when
all are in operation. Payroll will
add about $33 million annually in
the eight state area.
Each center will have a trading
post area where native craftsman
can work in silver, rug weaving,
pottery and make leather goods.

Letter to the Editor
The Editor KODIAK MIRROR Kodiak, Alaska

The headlines of your May IT is- sue and the article dealing with fish prices for the coming season proved to be a real shocker to sey- eral of us who were here expressly for the purpose of negotiating a settlement, in fact, it left me with the feeling of being shot down as was about to take the witness stand.
 To briefly review the mechanics of arriving at settlement let me explain that the packers as group are not permitted to bargain with the Fishermens Marketing Associa- tion, we individually meet with their negotiating committee, listen to their demands, then make our offer. Naturally the committee ac-
Kodiak mirror., 1963-05-24

cepts what they consider to be the best offer and that is the price for the season.
 I met with the committee sev- eral weeks ago and spent some time going over contract changes but had very little discussion on fish prices. As was pointed out to them at that time the Pink salmon market was in very unstable condi- ton for three reasons, first, the botulism discovered in some tuna was having serious effect on sales of canned fish of all types, second ly, there was a large pack of sub standard canned Pink salmon still being held in warehouses over the country, and third, the big 1862 pack of Pinks (1,900,0O0) plus a carry-over of 3OO,OOO cases from the 1861 pack.
 The combination of these factors made it impossible to predict what price we might expect to get for fish we pack in 1863, and without some indication of the 1863 market we could not make a price offer.
 In the past two weeks there have been numerous developments, as Lloyd Cannon's article points out, Cordova has recognized the above problems and settled on a per pound basis at very much lower per Pink cost than in 1862 I must take issue with his statement in which he says: ''Cordova fishermen accepted a substantial cut in the price they get for Pinks but main tained their price for Reds. This is probably due to the fact that Reds are a substantial portion of their catch $. :"
 The record shows the catch of Reds was 748 ,222 with a value of S1,122,3 ,330 to the fishermen.

Big Increase In
 Bristol Bay Gear

A large increase in the amount of fishing gear licensed for use in Bristol Bay this year compared with last year is noted in state sta tistics just released.
 Licenses for gear issued thls year were 474 more than last year There will be 120 more non-resi- dent drift boats in the bay and 99 more nonresident setnetters than in 1862. There will be 108 more resident boats and 147 more resi- dent setnetters than last year. Al together the state issued 1865 fish ing gear licenses to resident Bris- tol Bay fishermen and 639 to non. residents this year. a total of 2,304
Kodiak mirror., 1963-05-24

t The P1nk eaten was o,oo ,U4l with a dollar value of S, ,431 ,946.52 to the fishermen. The Alaska De partment of Fisheries is predict ing a Pink run of from 8 to 12,0O0,- 900 Pinks for the coming season, so pinks again should be the money crop.
 The most disturbing information comes in a letter received today from our sales department--'The s19.50 price on 48/T Pinks on the part of California Packing Corpora tion for their "Silver Bar" and Lilly" brands has become more widespread. So far we have heard offerings out of San Francisco, Los Angeles, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Texas. This certainly gives every indication of being a nationwide offer"
 The above may not seem to be of importance to the fishermen but when fish costs and other canning expenses are geared to a $25 sell ing cost it is easy to see what a drop of S5.50 per case does to com panies not backed by large national corporations. The current price is the first time since 1854 that Pink prices have been quoted below $21 per case.
 Mention has been made of a 3hTe increase granted tender crews. This is the first increase these people have had since 1859. In that same period Pink prices have advanced from 40 cent to 45h cents-an increase of 13.75To and Chums from 50 cent to 60 cents an increase of 20%.
 MT. Cannon'S statement citing the fact that canneries though singing the blues to the fishermen now have been able to boast grand ly to stockholders about their div idend declarations recently" I am sure that statement will be read with great interest by every sal mon cannery owner in the busi- ness. To my knowledge the only dividend declared by any salmon packer in the past year was a s1 per share by P.AF. Their state ment made it very clear the money did not come out of earnings, rather it came from the sale of the ship ''Neva" to South American interests.
Kodiak mirror., 1963-05-24

Tn looking back through recoros of Pink salmon pack prior to the late 193O's packs were from 21s 10 in excess of 4 million cases each year and these packs were sold without too much trouble. At that time wages were low and the flsn price from 2 to 4 cents each The uniform price to the packer was S3.6O per case and 10 cents per can was a relatively standard retail price. Much of this pack was used as cat and dog food, market that has now disappeared.
 After the war when packs be- came progressively smaller, the price of fish advanced rapidly until it almost reached the cost of a luxury item. There still remained enough loyal customers to absorb a pack of 6 to 100000 cases at these inflated prices if the quality was good.
 Our problem at the moment IS that there is on hand twice that amount and much of it is sub- standard. It might be of interest to the Kodiak public that the much criticized limit placed on boats fish ing for the so-called combine" last season resulted in a pack of 518,O0O cases. Of this total amount only 300 cases had to be recondi- tioned. I mention this to make 1t clear that the sub-standard fish now being dumped on the market did not come from that operation
 Our Company has been in busi- ness on Kodiak Island continuous ly since 1912 and employs more residents than any other canner in this district. In 1862 we paid out to resident fishermen $1,346,578 for salmon in addition to the monthly wages to many other resident work CTS.
 I sincerely hope we can resolve this price dispute and continue the excellent relations we have had with these people for over fifty years.
 Very truly yours,

THE BUOY LINE

As most if you know by now' President Kennedy recently ap- nointed senator Benjamin Smith. the ex-senator from Mas sachusetts who stepped down so Kennedy's little brother, Teddy, could run for the office, to head our negotiating team when we deal with the Japs and Cana dians, and re-write the North Pacific Treaty.
 Smith was given plenty of prestige; the rank of Ampassa- dor. But, don't think prestige alone is the answer. l can't un- derstand why the President overlooked all the capable peo- ple we have right here. smith, 
 after all, is from the North AL lantic-and this is a Pacific treaty.
 It is true, and we shouldn't overlook the fact that Senator Magnuson was appointed to help him, which is good. But the logic of putting a Pacific Coast man in the Number Two spot escapes me. I think the Presi- dent should have appointed someone to head the delegation, like the late "Squeaky' Ander- son. One who knows the prob lens, and with close personal interest, could make this per sonal fight, like the Japs do. Not just someone who happens to be a nice guy, and who has some thing coming from the Presi- dent.
 It seems to me this is our trouble. We're busy trying to be nice guys, while the other fellows are cutting us to rib bOns.
 Senator Bartlett, on the other hand, is turning up the heat un- der the State Department. He wants to know why Rusk refuses to enforce International Law, which would actually stop the Japs from fishing crab on our continental shelf. We're behind him 100% on this!
 The Japs now are admitting that they have nearly depleted the Bristol Bay King Crab fisn- cry; this is why they want to move down to Kodiak. And I seriously doubt if the State De partment will stand up to them. Because it's easier not to. Yet, power bargaining is the only language the Japs under stand-or respect. We'd better
 worry little less about repay. ing our political debts, the Big
 Picture, or our international popularity, and begin to think a
 little more about the cold. hard
 facts of survival. We'd better
 oegln thinking about the fish for
 a change before they are gone
 and we'er all digging clans for
 a living.
 They can't take those!
