Plan Four Power
Projects In Alaska
(By Charles D. Watkins)
Washington, (Ah — The interior
department announced yesterday
I it will ask the new Congress for
funds to develop at least four
power projects in Alaska, with
the first to cost $20,000,000 and
develop 30,000 kilowatts of power
I
annually.
W. E. Warne, assistant secretary, I
said the reclamation bureau had !
surveyed the four sites and de
cided they are feasible for devel
opment.
The Eklutna Lake site, with the
project estimated to cost $20,000,
000 is listed as first for develop
men!.
This project, he told a news con
ference, would serve Anchorage,
Palmer and the Matanuska Valley,
a farming community.
The other projects which have
been found to be feasible for year
round operation are at Blue Lake
near Sitka, Dorothy Lake near
Juneau nad Swan Lake near
Ketchikan.
The power survey made by the
bureau is part of a general ex
panded industrial program for
Alaska. VVarne said the power
would be needed for civilian and
industrial uses.
The projec's would be chiefly
for power, but whre feasible
would provide for irrigation and
recreation.
The official said the program
would aid national defense in the
Territory and the Eklutna lake
project would be able to supply
power to Fort Richardson and the
big air force field near Anchorage.

Unalakleet News
- - i
Emily Ivunoff of Unalakleet is j
in town for a few days for medi- j
cal check-up and brings news of
the death of Mrs. Muktuk who
was burned to death a few days
ago. She lived for seven hours af
;er being burned.
She also brought word of the
death of Reindeer Queen Sinrock
Mary, who was known throughout
he northland for her generosity to
the pocr and to orphans. She was
omewhere between the ages of 95
and 100 years and remembers the
time when Russia sold Alaska to
the United S ates. She went to Si
beria at that time with govern
ment officials as interpreter for
the U. S. A., and remembers be
ing slapped in the face for not in
terpreting word for word, which
was hard to do.
She was known here as the rein
deer queen and willed her rein
der to Mrs. Frank Ryan, her
granddaughter.
Emily Ivanoff states that the
wolves are very bid in Unalakleet
this year and the reindeer herd is
in constant danger although the
herders are on the alert. 12
wolves have been caugh to date
and ‘he Unalakleet people are hop
ing someone will come with a
plane on a wolf hunt.
The people of the United States,
with nearly three-fifths of the
world’s telephones, made more
than 42 billion telephone calls in

FISHERIES TO MAKE
DRASTIC REGULATIONS
WASHINGTON, (£>)—'The fish
and wildlife service is going to try
“desperately” to halt next year the
declining trend "in Southeastern
Alaska’s salmon fishery, director
Albert M. Day said today.
Day told a reporter the agency
is considering fishing regulations
“drastic enough to turn back the
downward trend.” The new rules
will be announced in mid-January.
Fifteen or 20 years ago, Day
said, the catch averaged 2,000.000
cases a year. Last year it was
down to 682,000 cases, and this
year it hit a new low, of 665,000
cases.
Day returned this week from a
conference at Victoria, B. C., with
Alaskan packing interests. He also
attended a meeting there of Amer
ican members of the Canada-U. S.
sockeye salmon commission.
Efforts of the past several years
o rehabilitate the sockeye salmon
runs in the Fraser River of British
Columbia are beginning to show
results, Day said
‘‘The expensive fishway of Hells
Gate Canyon has paid off in big
profits,” he added.
“The salmon run up the river
was good and the pack was good.
This is one of the outstanding con
servation jobs of our time.”
