WILSON CLUB
) f >
CHITINA, Jan. 6. — The Demo
crats of Chitina met at the A. B. Hall
on Wednesday evening and organized
a Woodrow Wilson Democratic club,
M. J. Healey being elected president,
and Charles O'Connor as secretary
and treasurer. The purpose of the
organization is set forth in the fol
lowing declaration:
“We, the undersigned, citizens of
the Territory of Alaska, having full
faith and confidence in the wise, pat
riotic and statesmanlike administra
tion of President Woodrow Wilson in
the affairs of the nation, and in his
policy for the development of this
territory, and having confidence in
his policy in dealing with the diffi
cult problem growing out of the Eu
ropean war, we do pledge ourselves
as favoring his renomination and elec
tion for a second term;
“We further pledge ourselves to the
support of all measures, necessary to
the development and best interest of
the mineral resources of the Copper
River and Chitina valley, and to that
end we associate ourselves together
in this organization, to be known as
the Woodrow Wilson Democratic Club
of Chitina.”
In addition to its political activities
this organization will *try to fill in
some measure the need for a com
mercial body at this place.
Mr. Morris Ashton and Miss Ethel
Arnholt were married at Copper Cen
ter on December 28. Mr. Ashton op
erates one of the big trucks for the
N. C. Stage Company, and has brought
his bride to Chitina, where they will
I
make their home.
The A. B.*8 gave a masquerade bal
at t'aeir hall on New Year's night
which was well attended and greatly
enjoyed. Mrs. Rowe, who was dressed
as an Eskimo, took the prize. Harry
Hoyt, who came disguised in femi
nine attire, was the cause of sonn
jealousy among the boys.

POWER SITES IN'
;; ALASKA ARE
— ■— —
.
The water supply of parts of Alaska
1 has been a subject of study by the
’ geological survey for several years.
* j and some of the results of it are bc
* | ginning to appear in survey bulletins.
1 1 At first the work was confine^ to
; Seward peninsula; later it was ex
pended to the Yukon-Tanana region;
! | and then to the Copper River, Prince
1 William Sound and the lower Susit
5 na. It is this last region which is
i the subject of the latest report.
Stream measurements made during
only one season, it is pointed out, can
* not of course be relied upon for esti
' mating average flows, but the survey
engineers, besides making measure-1
ments of flow, obtained much Infor
[ mation on the topography of the
1 drainage basins, reservoirs and power J
1 siles.
The data thus obtained whet com
bined with the weather bureau rec-1
■ ords, will, it is said, serve as a gen
1 eral guide to the engineer, who, how
3 ever, will at once realise that these
facts must be supplemented bv care
ful and thorough surveys and meas
urements before he can plan In de- !
tall any water power project.
Water Power Sites.
The report shows that the water
power available throughout the year j
are not so abundant in the south cen
tral part of Alaska as lias sometimes
been assumed.
The general province discussed in
the report contains valuable mineral
deposits. Ih its eastern part lies the j
Bering river coal field with its high- _
grade fuels, and also the Katalla oil 1
field. In the Copper River basin and
In the Prince William Sound region, 1
to the west, there are valuable de
nosits of gold and copper, and In the
Willow Creek district of the Kenal
peninsula, which is also in the prov
ince, are deposits of gold.
Matanuska Field.
Close at hand Is the Matanuska coal
~ field. Take it all in all. say survey
engineers, this is one of the richest
mineral districts in Alaska, and it also
contains arable lands. Moreover, it is
. pointed out, it embraces the Copper
river and Snsitnn valleys, two of the 1
most important gateways into inland
Alaska.
Appended to the report is a reprint
of an article on the water powers of
Southeastern Alaska. The new report,
therefore, contains all available Infor
mation on the water powers along the
-
Pacific coast of Alaska as far west
as Cook Inlet.
