$13,584,640 during 1962.
HAILS INTEREST
HOMER—Roscoe E. Bell, director
of the state division of lands, has
hailed a bid by Texaco in the recent
oil and gas lease sale as indicating
“very serious interest in the oil
prospects of the southern end of
Kenai Peninsula.”
Bell, in commenting on Texaco's
high bid of $604,000 on one offshore
tract east of here, said it also gives
“good reason to hope that drilling
will be launched in a reasonable
period since the offshore leases are
only for five years and cannot be
renewed except by production.”
“EGANOMICS”
ANCHORAGE—State Democratic
chairman Wendell Kay has branded
Gov. William A. Egan’s latest ap
praisal of state financial needs dur
ing the next fiscal year as “Egan
omies,” not economics.
“KAY-OS”
JUNEAU—Gov. William A. Egan
brushed aside questions about his
running battle with state Demo
cratic Chairman Wendell Kay over
state finances with the comment:

Alaska and to the Nation as a whole

developed potential of all the other
states, are permitted to lie unde
veloped.”
The report is bound to have quite
an effect on the Rampart economic
feasibility study now being done
by Resources and Development
Corp. of New York. The firm is
presently making a survey of the
power needs of the entire Western
world in relation to the Rampart
project. The report, which is to be
finished in 1962, will determine the
economic feasibility of the Rampart
Dam.
Opponents of the Rampart Dam
have stated that there is no present
i market for the power, and that one
might not develop for several years.
If the proposed EHV DC transmis
sion lines were established between
Alaska and the Pacific Northwest,
a ready market for Rampart power
would be established. As industries
in Alaska develop, the power could
I be supplied to them, as Governor
Egan suggests, rather than to the
out-of-state markets.

economic consultants, according to
the Governor’s Advisory Committee
on Economic Development.
The studies are part of an action
program undertaken by Arthur D.

industries. The company has used
the studies as the basis for discus
sions with potential investors in the
United States and Japan.

December 31 after 40 years in trans

Gillespie joined Alaska Steam
traffic booking section in 1949 and
became damage prevention agent of
that line in 1951.
Are there any experiences that
Gillespie can remember? Well, yes!
He was on the North Star when she
hit Indian Island. He was on the
“Emma’’ when she collided with a
sulphur boat off California and he
was on the North Sea when she hit
Cape Marsh. Then there was the !
tragedy Gillespie helped not to hap
pen. He always made it a practice
to make a tour of his ship each night
before retiring.
“One night when I was making
the round on the ‘H.F.’ I discovered
a fire in the tailor shop,” he re
called.

Alaska Airlines
To Keep Present
Passenger Fares
Charles F. Willis Jr., president
and general manager of Alaska Air
lines, says that the company will
maintain present fares throughout
its system rather than adopt the
three per cent increase permitted
domestic trunkline carriers by a
recent Civil Aeronautics Board rul
ing.
The airline president said he be
lieves the answer to the industry's
problems of shrinking profits since
the introduction of jet service is
to convince more people of the. low
cost of vacations by air rather than,
to increase fares.
In this connection, Alaska Air
lines has launched an intensive na
tionwide campaign encouraging vis
itors to the 1962 Seattle World's
Fair to include Alaska in their va
cation itineraries while in the Pa
cific Northwest.
