Three Injured In
Alaska RR. Blast
ANCHORAGE, (/P)—Three men
were hospitalized yesterday—two
of them northwest residents—be
cause an Alaska Railroad speeder
made an untimely stop alongside
a huge rock which workmen were
trying to break with a dynamite
blast.
Most seriously injured was Earl
Sargent of Renton, Wash. A piece
of rock was reported hurled
through his faca He was to be
flown to the States for treatment.
Also injured were Edward Lass,
36, of Anchorage, and Robert
Howland, 32, who has a wife and
four children living at Ocean
Lake, Ore. Howland was expected
to be released today.
Four other riders of the speed
er were treated and released.
The mishap occurred Monday
night near Rainbow, about 20
miles south of here on the Alaska
Railroad.
Gus Rathert, Morrison-Knud
son company project engineer,
said the workmen had been un
able to budge the rock with a
bulldozer and had planted seven
sticks of dynamite beneath it in
an effort to dislodge it.
“Just as the trigger was pulled
the speeder came around a curve
and stopped opposite the face of
the rock,” Rathert said.
“There wasn’t a chance to warn
them. The charge threw small
rocks everywhere and caught
them as they were about to un
load their tools.”
A cow has been found to utilize
up to 25 pounds of chopped white
potatoes a day in milk production.

SEATTLE, VP)—A coast guard
plane from Port Angeles searched

120 miles west and a little north
of Grays Harbor, the coast guard
said.
