“Another site which would
provide readily available power
is the Blue Lake project in the
Sitka area. This plant calls for
15,000 kilowatts of power cap
acity by construction of a dam
at the outlet of Blue Lake, 7,
000 feet of tunnel and a pen
stock and hydroelectric plant.
“Another is the Swan Lake
project which could provide 15
000 kilowiatts of power capacity
for the Ketchikan area. A d!am
would be needed at Falls Creek
the outlet of Swan Laike and
2,400 feet 6f penstock and a
power plant.”
‘"Both the Blue Lake and
Swan Lake projects, however,
like the Lake Dorothy project,
are dependent on the demand
of new industry for the new
source of power.”
“Two years ago, in 1953, a
census report indicated a pop
ulation increase in Alaska from
128,463 in 1950 to 182.000. The
largest growth took place in
the Anchorage-Fairbanks rail
belt area. A large part of this
increase was due. of course, to
the step-up of defense activities
in this northern outpost.
“I am inclined to believe it
also reflects a pickup in the
permant population. Alaska re
presents one off the few remain
ing frontiers of pioneering set
tlement and industrial oppor
tunity. As a growing national
and world population increases
| the pressure on the more settl
ed areas of the world, it is in
evitable that the adventure
I some will turn to these new
I frontiers. Those areas whioh
1 can provide opportunity for s
' good life will have a big ad
vantage.”
