PARKING SPACE RESERVED
FOR TRUCK
Shoppers using trucks for
transportation appealed to the
city council for aid in finding
parking space off 4th Avenue,
Monday night. The regulation
prohibiting the parking of trucks
in the shopping district, works
a hardship on shoppers during
the day, according to Frank
Wood s, spokesman for the
group.
Truckers proposed the pur
chase of signs designating truck
parking space, if such space
could be alloted, Woods stated.
Police commissioner Wilson,
said that he thought the city
should furnish any signs needed,
thus avoiding possible pressure
groups in the future.
A decision was reached to re
serve the south side of Adams
street, from the alley to 5th
Avenue, and the block between
4th and 5th Avenues on Wash
ington street for truck parking.
Signs will be posted to that
effect.

AUTO ACCIDENT AT BRIDGE
Clifford Halton, Public Roads
Administration employee, was
seriously injured in a car acci
dent at the Mile 3 covered
bridge eai'y Sunday.
The station wagon, driven by
Halton, hit the approach to the
bridge, about 3 a. m. Sunday
morning, when the driver lost
control of the vehicle. The car
turned over approximately 97
feet from where it struck, wed
ged itself crosswise inside the
bridge, holding up traffic an
hour and a half.
There is little traffic on the
highway at that time of the
morning, and it is not known
how long the injured man lay
unconscious.
Patrolman Kellogg was noti
fied, and with Dr. R. O. Sellers,'
gave first aid before Halton was
taken to Seward General Hospi
tal by ambulance, where he was
found to have sustained a sev
ere back injury.

mystery:

Very little is known about the Alaska salmon, back
bone of the Territory’s economy. Despite years of
, study, scientists still have much to learn about this
highly important resource.
With more knowledge there will be better opportunity to
insure future runs of salmon in Alaskan waters, for this
reason, salmon packers of the Bristol Bay, Westward, Kodiak
Island, Southeastern Alaska and other districts each year assess
themselves a fixed amount per case of salmon to finance the
University of Washington Fisheries Research Institute.
The industry in the past five years has allocated nearly a million dollars
to finance these studies. The University’s Institute is an entirely inde
pendent, scientific research organization, directed by Dr. William F.
Thompson, who has won an international reputation for his studies
of the halibut and Fraser River sockeye. The Institute’s research pro
gram complements studies being made by the Fish and Wildlife Service.

CLAIM HOLDERS SHOULD
CONTINUE WITH
ASSESSMENT WORK
Delegate Bartlett stated this
week that it would be well for
mining claim holders to be pre
pared to perform assessment
work for the present and suc
ceeding assessment year.
His advice was given follow
ing a canvass of members of
both House and Senate in an ef
fort to ascertain what the pros
pects would be for even a simple
moratorium bill applying prin
cipally to gold miners in Alaska.
Earlier this year, Bartlett and
Senator Ecton (Montana) intro
duced similar legislation seeking
to waive assessment work dur
ing the national emergency. A
sizeable portion of the mining
industry itself opposed such a
waiver, however, and certain
government agencies stated that
the waiver should not apply to
minerals necessary to national
defense purposes. A second bill
sought to curtail the waiver of
assessment work to gold and re
lated minerals. Response to that
measure has been vigorously in
opposition with few exceptions.
“There is a preponderant and
rather strongly held feeling
against any further moratori
um,” Bartlett stated. “I do not
believe as the result of conver
sations made that it would be
possible to pass a measure for
the United States and Alaska, or
for Alaska alone. As of May 3,
I am bound to say to you that
claim holders should be prepar
ed to do assessment work.”

Ever consider homesteading
on the Kenai Peninsula?
Even those only mildly inter
ested will want to read the Alas
ka Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion’s new bulletin Number 13:
“Agricultural Possibilities of
Alaska's Kenai Peninsula,” by
Richard E. McCurdy and Hugh
A. Johnson. Copies may be ob
tained from University of Alas
ka Agricultural Extension Serv
ice offices at College, Fairbanks,
Palmer, Anchorage, and Homer.
Rased largely on information
gathered by the senior author in
1950 from 127 settler families,
the report deals with the agri
cultural progress made on the
Kenai Peninsula, the difficulties
faced by settlers, their hopes for
the future, and their interest in
agriculture as a means of livli
hood.
The report also covers an
evaluation of land now available
and in withdrawn areas on the
basis of quality, cover, and
weather conditions. The econom
ic basis of agriculture on the
Kenai Peninsula is considered
from the standpoint of present
and potential markets for its
produce.
