Alaska Hinnies
Looking Inside
From Outside
Chamber of Commerce dele
gates from the 11 western states,
who last week in Portland were
considering measurements for
the development of Alaska, have
decided that highway improve
ment is most vital to the terri
tory’s future.
The group passed a resolution
asking for development of Alas
ka’s transportation facilities and
for specific improvement work
on the Haines and Alaska high
ways. Seattle delegates pushed
a plan for building of a standard
guage railway from Fairbanks to
Puget Sound, over the Rocky
Mountain trench route which al
ready has been surveyed.
The Department of the Inte
rior has announced that there’s
coal enough, of a good burning
quality, in the Arctic to meet all
fuel needs there. The coal can
be mined more cheaply in the
Arctic than it can be imported
from Outside.
Fields at Wainwright, Deering,
Fairhaven and Point Lay have
been investigated by the Bureau
of Mines. It is reported by de
partment officials that the coal
may be developed economically,
either by mining local coal de
posits lying nearest Arctic vil
lages, or by large-scale opera
tions at a single source, where
the fuel would be stockpiled for
barge delivery during the sum
mer.
The Alaska-to-States opera
tions of unscheduled airlines
were causing Pan-American of
ficials a big headache last week.
The company says that 24 un
scheduled airlines now are mak
ing flights to the states, with the
result that Pan-American lost
two million dollars in its first 10
months of operation in 1947.
That means money out of the
taxpayers' pockets, airlines heads
point out, since the government
is committed by law to keep
scheduled airlines operations on
a paying basis, through mail con
tracts.
Pan-American figures, pre
sented to the Civil Aeronautics
.board, which the airline wants
to put a stop to non-scheduled
xngnts, show that one Alaskan
air carrier made 32 trips to Se
attle in .November, 34 in Octo
oer, 40 in September and 49 in
August.
uncie Sam’s Army has moved
into Alaska for a long, long stay,
if recent figures approved by
the Senate lor military appropri
ations in the territory mean any
thing. There are some who say
it doesn’t, until Congress digs up
the money to finance the spend
ing it recommends up here.
However the permanence of
the military’s stay here is strong
ly indicated by the percentage
of funds which are earmarked
for “family quarters and utili
ties” by the congressmen. These
stations are slated to get funds
for construction of family quar
ters, if present plans materialize:
Mile 26, Fort Richardson,
Adak Army base and airfield,
Adak air communications sys
tem, Anchorage ACS, Big Delta
ACS, Ketchikan ACS, Cathedral
Bluffs ACS, Naknek ACS, Skag
way ACS, and Nome ACS.
The naval operations bas? at
Adak got the biggest slice of the
expenditure budget, with a rec
ommended appropriation of over
eleven million dollars. Other
sites which will get a million
dollars or more include: Whit
tier port, Mile 26, Fort Richard
son, Adak Army base and air
field, Fort Yukon Army airfield,
naval supplementary radio ac
tivity at Adak, and the naval
radio station at Kodiak.
