Seek Land
Opening
At the request of the local
Chamber of Com metre Delegate
E. L. Bartlett is joining in seek-i
ing to have the presidential order,
revoked that withdrew from set-j
tlement all land on Kodiak and
adjoining islands.
He has requested action from
Secretary of the interior Ickes, in
conjuction with the War and
Navy Departments.
The order, dated Febiuary 10,
1940, withdrew all of Kodiak,
Whale, Uganik, Spruce, Sitkali
dak and Aiaktalik islands, an
area of 2,500,000 acres.
Delegate 'Bartlett’s letter to
Secretary Ickes said:
“1 am in thorough agreement
with the Kodiak Chamber of
Commerce that present necessity
ought no longer to require the
withdrawal from settlement, loc
ation, sale or entry for classifica
tion and in aid of legislation of
such an enormous acreage. As I
understand it, the Executive Or
der was issued because of mili
tary necessity but if would seem
that need has now ceased to ex
ist with respect to the entire
acreage.
On several occasions, 1 Iiave
talked with officials of your de
partment about my opinion of
the desirability of restoring to
the public domain much, if not
all, the land that was withdrawn
during the war years, but it
seems particularly appropriate
at this time to emphasize the sit
uation with respect to the islands
named above.
“Settlement of Alaska on the
scale which we hope for so as to
aid returning veterans and others
cannot, of course, take place if
all the desirable land is closed to
entry. All indications are that a
ve>y considerable migration to
Alaska will start next spring. Ac
cordingly, may I respectfully
'suggest that action be taken
forthwith, incluoing conversa
tions if necessary with the War
and Navy departments, in rec
ommending revocation of Execu
tive Urdu 8344.”
Eighteen members we.e pres
ent at the Chamber of Commerce
meeting Thursday presided over
by < >. A Torgerson, where it was
reported mend ership fees are
now due and a new committee
will be appointed to undertake
to g«t more people interested in
joining and ai tending.
Pat Cannon, chairman of the
fish committee, who returned re
cently from the States, reported
that in Seattle there are many
expressions of intere t in Kodiak
by the large canning companies
He said there was much discus
sion of halibut canning po-sibil
lf.ies
Jack Allman and Max I.a
Lande were named as a commit
tee to assist, in the preparing of
the new chamber pamphlet by
contacting business men for the
advertising n preparation for in
cluding pictures of the business
places in the booklet

recently opened a tailor shop i>
