STATE CAPITAL MOVE
Recently the Alaska Supreme Court
ruled that the three year statehood
transition period had ended; there
fore, Juneau no longer has exclusive
rights to the state capital location*
The capital relocation issue will be
placed on the November General Election
Ballot for a decision by the voters.
Are you in favor of moving the cap
ital? If so, where? How about the
-Copper River-Basin? The Copper River
Basin has lots to offer a capital
city in the form of sound potentials.

to offer the State of Alaska as a
capital site.

Tfhile being ..engaged, at the business
end of a number, two shovel, cleaning
rubble out of the excavations .for the
Liberty Falls bridge, I came across
some interesting things buried six
feet deep in the. frozen peat*. One
was a squirrel hole in a perfectly
preserved tree section, another was
a broad leaf imprint which: resembled
_.,the eastern maple but maybe much
larger in size, .twenty six inches
across. The sun and industry soon
.erased any evidence of a by gone age
/though.
M. B. Co. is progressing rapidly
with the road construction on the
Edgerton Cutoff, the. long, grey,
gravel fills are boring a hole thru
th.e muskeg , flats and black spruce
along a ridge far above the Copper;
a far cry from the teams and fresnoes
and gangs of shouting men who first
punched.a twisting, humpy wagon road
thru that country.
No shovel horns hung on a tree as
yet here at,Kenny Lake, Roy Alley
came winging back across the Copper
to Chitina with a black bear and a
sack full of grayling, but the lum
bering moose is still on his feet
over there.
Pat Gobel was appointed Acting Post
master for Copper Center, Alaska.
