With our 20 below weather, the
local people are mostly sitting by
their stoves and not much has devel
oped in the community so will add a
short verse from one of Robert Ser
vice’s poems- it’s one of my favor
ites- and yours?
TTNol There’s the land ( Have you
seen it?)
ItTs the cussedest land that I know,
From the big dizzy mountains that
screen it,
To the deep,deathlike valleys below.
Some say God was tired when He made
it; Some say it’s a fine land to
shun;
Maybe; but there’s some as would
trade it
For no land on earth- and I7m one.”
From TT Spell of the Yukon.”
RiiMPA RT DAM
Local proponents of Rampart Dam are
shifting their campaign into high
gear while conservationists are still
largely urging a go-slow policy until
the Corps of Engineers feasibility
study is made public, At the first
joint meeting of the city councils of
Anchorage and Fairbanks on September
7, Mayors Sharrock and Brewington
urged council members to support the
proposed dam. \ ironically, the meet
ing was held in Mt McKinley Park.) At
the meeting, which was closed to all
but selected guests of the council
known to favor the project, a group
■ called "Operation Rampart", Inc. was
formed to promote the project in and
out of iilaska. A month later, the
Anchorage City council voted to app
ropriate ^lo,000 to.promote the Dam.
The funds will go to an organization
* calling itself "Yukon Power for Amer
ica, Inc." which replaced the parent
with the olive-drab name. Citizens of
Fairbanks were being asked to support
the go-Rampart campaign similarly.
Democracy being what it is today, pro
ponents, neutrals and opponents alike
probably will find themselves contrib
uting to the project, through taxes,
through various municipal and even
| Sate administrations in Alaska. This
would be a good time for a Thoreau
i to appear on the scene, to go to jail
| and write another essay On the Duty
| of Civil Disobedience.
