War Prisoners Will
Dismantle Disused
Secret Port
SEATTLE, June 29—(^—Col
onel Conrad P. Hardy announced
that the first German prisoners of
war to be sent outside continental
United States as workmen will go
north next month to dismantle a
port built secretly m an Alaskan
fiord while the Japs were menac
ing the continent from the Aleu
tians,
He said seven hundred prison
ers will be moved to Excursion
Inlet off Icy Strait, between Jun
eau and Cape Spencer to recover
the twelve million board feet of
lumber and three million dollars
j worth of other material.
The Army built the port, which
is unneeded now that the battle
i
I front has receded, at a cost of
eighteen million. It was built as a
I
j transshipment point, where barges
from United States could transfer
i
(military supplies to ocean going
| vessels between Kodiak and the
Aleutians.
Colonel Hardy said it was com
i pleted in November, 1943, and

LOUIS BIANCHI ARRIVES
FROM DETROIT
■ .
! Louis B’anchi arrived from De-;
troit to be employed by Polet’s j
Store. When he reached Fairbanks
he decided to try a little prospect
ing up the Tanana River before
coming to Nome. Although he is
a cheechako, he feels that he is
almost a sourdough, as he en
countered many pioneering ex
periences on his trip. He, with his
associate Mr. R. W. Silver, were
caught in the flood of the Tanana
•
river and narrowly escaped being
I
caught in several log jams. They
also encountered three big bears
and were forced to run as they
did not have their guns with
them. All this, with mosquitose
and constant rain made the trip
very interesing, even if they did i
j not find gold.
