Normal Progress Seen at Kodiak
Kodiak is making normal pro
gress, and while there are new
faces to be seen there is not a
great influx of population, and
there is not the activity there
that would justify such influx.
Charles Lechner of Seward con
firms report of survey work be
ing in progress at Woman’s bay,
that things point to the steady
growth natural with such magni
tude as the naval base the gov
ernment has in view, but at the
present time there is nothing to
get excited about.
A new business to be started
at Kodiak is a drug store by L.
J. Swift. Warren Tayor is open
ing a law office. W. E. Falconer
is building a substantial home.
Other small living quarters are
going up. The new hospital is
practically completed.

ALARM AT BETHLL
DI E TO SOIL LOSS
Soil erosion due U th cutting
action of the Kuskokw m river
at Bethel has been the cause of
many urgent requests for aid be
ing filed at the Governor s office
iin Juneau. Dwellings ard other
buildings are being moved away
from the river bank which is
periodically slipping into the riv
er and being carried away.
According to persons recently
returned to Fairbanks from Beth
el, most of the damag. is done
when the tide is high and the
water reaches the softer earth
toward the top of the bank.
About one week ago during a
high tide, the river took away
earth to the extent of 75 feet
toward the mission end of town.
This large inroad that was
made into the soil was done in
the space of two hours.
Received by the Governor's of
fice was a message from Nels
Anderson, who is chairman of
the Bethel Chamber of C im
meree. Tiie message, in part, read
“river situation in Bethf! is very
serious. River is cutting into
banks the entire length of the val
ley and forms eddies causing the
banks to cave in.”
“Help is urgently needed to
prevent if possible, property loss.
If no action is taken, it looks as
though the grounds of the Terri
torial and Federal selva Is and
the airport will be endangered.
Houses are being mot ad away
from, the bank as rapidly s pos
sible. We beg and urge Federal
authorities to investigate and
grant aid immediately. Sent com
petent engineer.”
The Kuskokwim sir. am is do
ing its worst cutting at two dis
tinct places. Upstream . tin part
of town given to res donees, a
targe eddy has form, d and is
working into home pi pi i ty. At
the lower end of town, toward
the Moravian mission, the river
is said to be doing the heaviest
cutting. A message from the mis
sion to the Governor stated, "the
strategic value of Bethel as an
ocean and a;r port will be de
stroyed.” The message went on
to say property of great .mport
ance was in immediate danger.
According to persons who have
watched the river action at Bo‘h
for the past several years, the
Kuskokwim has been carrying
away Bethel soil for the past
several years, growing worse
each year in the amount it takes.
The problem has been before the
authorities for some time, but it
is said that moving of the town
toward h.gher ground is the only
expedient solution because of the
prohibitive cost that would be
entailed in bringing about con
trol of the waters.
