TO TH E
EDITOR
Editor
rhe Frontiersman
Palmer, Alaska
Dear Sir:
The recent article published
14 June, 1962 and subsequent
article published 12 July, 1962
in the Valley Frontiersman
quoting Mason LaZelle, man
ager of the Matanuska Valley
Cooperative does appear gross
ly unreasonable to the writer.
The claims made by Mr. La
Zelle that steam power is more
economical than the proposed
lydroelectric power from Brad
ey Lake have not been sub
stantiated and are very con
xaditory to the published re
sort of the Corps of Engineers
:or Bradley Lake which uses
steam power as a basis for cal
:ulating the benefit-cost ratio
)f 1.7 to 1.
The problem for traversing
he lands needed for erection
)f transmission line within the
National Forest on the Kenai
3eninsula have been resolved,
so it is most doubtful that this
lazard exists.
It is correct that the con
struction time is greater for a
lydroelectric project than for
i steam plant, however, once
he hydro plant is completed
md the loan is amortized, the
costs for generation are ex
;remely low. Steam generation
•equires the continuous expen
iiture of funds to mine the coal
'or the operation. Labor prices
:ontinue to mount and steam
engines do wear out and re
quire replacement.
As one local resident recent
y stated, “The good Lord
lasn’t changed the rates for
rain in a 1000 years and isn’t
expected to in the future.”
The figure of nine mills ad
vanced by Mr. LaZelle is not
consistent with information
verified by the Federal Power
Commission. On a 100 year
amoritization schedule, the fig
ure furnished by the Corps of
Engineers is 5.7 mills at the
generation site.
Perhaps one of the major
reasons that the residents of
the Homer area are so solidly
in favor of the Bradley Lake
project is because we are tired
of paying 150 mills for the first
50 kilowatts of energy used.
Even though the Homer Elec
tric Association is now buying
Cooper Lake power at 13 mills,
our consumer rates have not
gone down one mill because of
he long debt accumulation
E.'om prior years operations.

Bion line from Bradley Lake
will open up a whole new area
to settlement and will give
greater impetus to the proposed
Turnagain Arm Causeway and
will provide the opportunity to
interest light industry in the
trea until 2 mills power be
comes available from Rampart
Dam.
In all likelihood as further
power studies are made, it
will be shown that there is a
reed for the coal-mine mouth
generation plants in addition to
hydroelectric power sources
Certainly, the construction of
Rampart Dam is not based on a
quarter million Alaskan power
consumers! Accordingly, it does
appear that construction of in
terim power sources will have
little effect on the need for
constructing Rampart Dam.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Editor:
Thank you so much for send
ing me the newspaper from the
homeland. From it I learn who
has passed away, the doings at
the Fair, in Palmer, and many
other happenings. Of great in
terest was the picture of “Coal
Miners Help Build Palmer
Park.” The Kiwanis are build
ers. The writer received his
honorable membership card for
building a railroad on 5th Ave
nue in Anchorage some years
ago!
Alaska is a wonderland for
scenery, but in the whole state
of Alaska we have no zoologi
cal garden where the tourist
could see our wild animals
such as bear, mountain sheep,
moose, etc. I understand some
folks in Anchorage have been
talking about it, but usually
these towns want the state or
the federal government to
build it for them.
I believe that the Palmer
Valley Chamber of Commerce
and the businessman’s associa
tions of Wasilla, with Chugiak,
Houston, Willow and other or
ganizations, should unite under
one head to have such a garden.
Nothing can stop us if we work
for such a project, which no
doubt will bring thousands of
visitors to our valley. By join
ing all these organizations to
gether, there is no doubt in my
mind that we can, and will,
have such a garden. There is
strength in numbers.
Ed Ueeck and his friends
have already started in the
right direction to have a place
for our historical valuables. It
first takes concentration (to
think about it), next work, and
what we have in mind will
come in due time.
As the Dutchman says, “Un
ited we stay, and separated we
fall together.”
Sincerely,
Heinie Snider.
Dear Editor:
May we take this opportun
ity, and means, to express our
appreciation for a very pleas
ant holiday spent in the Mat
anuska Valley. Most certainly a
beautiful spot, and the grand
eur of the locality is exceeded
only by the graciousness and
hospitality of the people.
Sincerest commendation
should go to Mayor Bill R. Mil
ler, the City Council and the
Fair Committee. It was an in
spiring occasion and we look
forward to the time when the
Fair will have statewide par
ticipation.
We look forward with antici
pation to future pleasant visits
to your community.
Yours for progress in Alaska!
