Ask Abolishment
OfKatmai Reserve
A request that the Katmai
National Monument, on the
mainland west of Kodiak which
embraoes famed Katmai moun
tain and the Valley of Ten
Thousand Smokes, be abolished,
is being made by the local Cham
ber of Commerce in an endorse
ment of a memorial to be pre
sented for adoption at the Terri
torial Legislature.
The memorial was drawn up
by William H. Olsen, for his
client, Hubert Keefer, who has a
clam cannery on Swikshak bay
iu the monument
mr. rvesier was granteu a
temporary permit to obtain
darns and fish in that area, and
the permit lias been denied be
cause of the ending of the war
and subsequent easing of the
food situation bast week the
chamber wired asking that the
order restricting fishing off the
monument be rescinded because
of the importance of commercial
fishing in the area. The permit
was refused by the National
Park Service, which said that
“such use of Federal property is
no longer justified in view of
termination of the war.”
The memorial requests that
the monument be removed so
fishing in the aien ca 1 l>e carried
on legally; claims that the area
maintains predatory animals;
asserts that the Valley of Ten
Thousand Smokes is no longer
active; and points out that 20
■per Cent of the local fishing area
w affected hy the monument re
strictions.
