Will Re-Route
Alaska Railroad
ANCHORAGE, (^P)—A $1,000,
000 railroad line between Anchor
age and Seward will wind within
touching distance of Bartlett Gla
cier, Alaska Railroad officials
have announced.
The new route will replace the
famous Alaska Railroad loop, cut
ting one and one-tenth miles from
the Anchorage-Seward run.
Alaska Railroad officials said
bids for construction of the new
railway would be called soon,
with the project slated for com
pletion this year.
When the Alaska Loop line was
originally surveyed in 1906, Bart
lett Glacier occupied the valley
through which the railroad will
pass.
Since then the glacier has pull
ed back three-fourths of a mile,
leaving a deep basin.
The new route will hug the
mountain, passing directly below
the glacier which will be only a
foot from the railroad.
Railroad company spokesmen
said the new tracks would elimin
ate the loop’s tunnel heating plant
and an annual maintenance cost
of $31,600.
: Develop Radio
Controlled Lifeboat
DAYTON, O. (/P)—Development
of a radio-controlled lifeboat that
can be guided to survivors, held
in place for them to board, and
set on course—from an overhead
airplane—was announced by the
airforce last week.
The A-3 lifeboat, all metal, is
30 feet long, and carries 15 men.
It is powered by a four-cylinder,
water-cooled engine, and is drop
ped to survivors by a 100-foot
parachute.
When the boat hits the water, an
explosive charge releases the par
achute. and a sea anchor goes out
to keep the boat in position.
After the parachute is released,
a radio operator in the plane takes
over.

Alaska Fishermen
Gel Pay Hike
SEATTLE, (/P) — The Alaska
fishermen’s union (Independent)
and the Alaska Salman Industry,
Inc., have agreed on 1951 season
salmon prices for Cook Inlet. The
prices are as much as 66 per cent
above those of last year.
Oscar Anderson, secret ary
treasurer of the union, said the
agreement is subject to approval
by fishermen but that step is ex
pected to be only a formality.
Reaching an agreement this early
in the season is without precedent,
he said.
The Cook Inlet prices, Anderson
said, will be: king salmon, $3.25
per fish compared with $2.40 last,
season; Reds $1 compared with 70
cents, cohoes, 90 cents compared
with 70 cents; chums 40 cents com
pared with 26; and pinks, 30 cents
compared with 18. The union said
the prices are the highest in his
tory.
Actual prices paid last year
were bid *above the contract level
in many instances, and bidding
may send them above contract lev
els again this season, Anderson
said. #
