FWS Agent Is
Stationed Here
With the arrival of Stanley
Patrick in Palmer, the Matan
uska Valley gets its first Fish
and Wild Life Service agent sta
tioned here. Mr. Patrick, who
came about two weeks ago. is
with the predatory animal con
trol branch of FWS.
The Valley newcomer also is
new to the territory. At this time
he still is engaged principally in
surveying his district, which will
reach as far as Tok Junction.
Mr. Patrick, who will spend con
siderable of his time in an at
tempt to eliminate Alaska’s
wolves, had only an 18-day field
trip in the Cold Bay area to pre
pare him for his Alaskan assign
ment.
The agent, who has no family,
is living on the William Hoskins
farm. His will be principally a
roving assignment, he thinks,
but he will maintain his head
quarters in Palmer. Mr. Patrick
also will assist in game law en
forcement and control.
The FWS representative for
merly was stationed at Akron.
Colo., before transferring north.

Independence Road
Closed Again
When a jeep attempting the
drive to Independence Mine this
week mired to its headlights in
mud. Alaska Road Commission
foreman Clyde King, Sr., ruled
the highway impassable and
erected a barricade. The mine
now is closed to all but foot
traffic for a mile and a quarter
distant from the highway.
Mr. King said it probably
would be several weeks before
the road could be re-opened to
all but essential traffic.
The Road Commission head
also surveyed the Willow Creek
Highway from'the air during the
past week-end. He found bridges
washed out at Thomas Creek
and at Deception Creek, and one
w’ashout on the road.
Equipment will be moved by
railroad to the area, to attempt
the replacing of the washed-out
bridges and roadway. Mr. King
made no estimate on the 1949
opening of the Willow Creek
road.
