Kodiak Diary
(continued from nasre 2)
manager for the Northern P tcific j
Airlines and Club Liquor store, i
1 first arrived in Kodiak several
' months ago, he made inquiries as
to his need for a pass to get
through the guard house to tht
base, on his trip to and from
planes with U. S. mad and pas
sengers.
He was told that it wouldn't
be necessary for him to get a
pass.
So for approximately 4 times a
week for many, many weeks, Art
made the trips to and fro.
But just the other day, with
i the back end of his little truck
loaded with the mail pouches, li
i headed in a mad rush to meef
the plane at the base, and when
he got to the guard Douse he wa
stopped. It seemed he had n
pass.
i
J3e explained why he had no
pass, pointed out the mail sack
and liis reason for the trip, and
added the fact that he had b eo
getting through under the same
situation for may moons, but to
no avail
He and the mail and the truck
waited several minutes for sever
al phone calls to several parties
on the base to be made before
they let him through.
Not because of tha\ but „r
rangements have been changed,
and Art and his trink no longer |
go to the ba e, so the situation
simply resolved itself.
A. Verle Collar, deputy coN
ector of internal revenue, arrive
( d in Kodiak recently to collect
taxes at about the same time A
laska Life magazine arrived with
an article about A. Verle Collar
arriving in Kodiak to collect
taxes.
Author of the article is Fred
L. Eisingcr, who, we are told,
Formerly worked on Woody is
land as a CAA employe.
Calling Kodiak the “southern
most base of the Aleutian chain
and describing the tall grass of
Kodiak as “tundra” didn’t set so
well, nor did the picture the au
thor drew of income tax data be
ing flown from Tacoma to Anch
orage in a rush and parachuted
outside of Ancho age, where a
native picked it up and deliveted
t to Collar! The true story con>
eerned data flown from Anchor
age to SeHovia.
Having been a “victim” of
“executioner” Collar ourselves,
we admit that our judgment of
the article may be prejudiced.
We really aren’t surprised that
reading it taxed our patience.
W. j; Erskine purchased the
present Erskine’s store in 1018,
but the lineage of the establish
ment is traced back through A
meiican commercial companies
to Russian commercial compart
es to the very eailiest days of
Kodiak. The year 1796 is mark
ed as the true beginning of what
is now the W. J. Erskine & ( o.
store, ant] thus it is that this
anno Domini of 1946 is the seiM
quicentennial of that venerable
institution.
Even if sesquicentennial werfe
a shorter word it would repre^
sent a lot of years, and we think
nothing points up the historical
background of Erskine’s morp
than the fact that three other
local institutions have birthdays
this week.
On Monday, March 4, the
Bank of Kodiak celebrated Its
6th birthday.
On Thursday, March 7 thp
Kodiak Mirror became 5 years
old.
And today, ivjarcn », me 01
pheum theatre is 6 years old.
These three institutions rep
resent beginnings in the growth
of Kodiak that began with con
struction of the Naval base and
the ensuing war peiiod.
Erskine’s represents a growth
that, began with the establish
ment of Ktdiak in the days ef
the Russian ownership and occu
pation j
That the latter has carried on
to overlap the former is a record
to be proud of, and to Eiskine’s
we offer a sesquicenteunial sa
lute!
