Aluminum Firm
Studies Skagway
As Possible Site
JUNEAU — Establishment of a
multimillion dollar metallurgical
industry in Southeastern Alaska
took a step nearer realization to
day with announcement by the
Alaska Development Board that
an Aluminum Company of Amer
ica engineering party will arrive
in Skagway soon to continue in
vestigative work.
Plans of the aluminum com
pany call for development of a
large block of low-cost power by
diverting headwaters of the Yu
kon River to the Skagway area.
Water would be brought through
the Coast Range from Lake Lin
deman by means of a two-sec
tion tunnel and dropped hun
dreds of feet to tidewater. Suffi
cient power would be developed
in the initial stages to produce
400 million pounds of aluminum
per year.
The engineering party will
study geology in the area which
would be transversed by the tun
nels. The party will be headed by
Dr. Warren J. Mead, head of the
geology department at the Mass
achusetts Institute of Technol
ogy.
The announcement was made
following conferences in Wash
ington, D. C. between I. W. Wil
son, senior vice president of
ALCOA, James P. Growden, chief
hydroelectric engineer for the
firm, Under Secretary of Interior
Oscar Chapman, Alaska’s Gov
ernor Ernest Gruening and Geo.
Sundborg of the Alaska Devel
opment Board.
The total investment in the
Skagway area by the Aluminum
Company would be $300,000,000,
all private capital. Establish
ment of allied metallurgical in
dustries would boost substan
tially the total investment. It has
been estimated $130,000,000 would
be used to construct a town to
house upwards of 50,000 persons.
Go To Convention
WASILLA — President Fran
ces Sorensen and secretary Her
tha Byers of the Susitna post of
the Veterans of Foreign Wars
Auxiliary attended the territo
rial convention of the VFW this
year. That convention was held
in Fairbanks on June 20. 21 and
22. The VFW also met in Fair
banks on the same dates.
Shirt Shop
Is Enlarging
More space and less pay for
the customer are the objectives
now being sought by partners
David Algarin and JoJe Hudock
of Dave and Joe’s Shirt Shop.
The pair are in the process of
doubling their present shop
space. When the remodelling is
complete, they expect to add a
power machine and a five-yard
cutting table to their equipment.
The partners say the new al
terations are just another step
forward in their move for state
side prices in Palmer. They ex
pect the increased space and
new equipment to add to their
tailoring efficiency so materially
that they’ll be able to make no
ticeable reductions in the prices
of their finished garments.
A new stock of woolen and ga
bardine materials also will be
displayed in the enlarged shop.
Church Time Changed
WASILLA—For the next four
months, church services at Wa
silla will be held at 9 o’clock in
the morning, it was announced
this week by Rev. Victor Alfsen.
The services have been held at
3 p. m. during the past winter.
