FREIGHT BUSINESS BOOMS;
ARR APPEALS TO SHIPPERS1
Three Alaskan ports are fun- I
neling the greatest volume of j
freight into Alaska since the Ter- ;
ritory was purchased 84 years
ago.
The “big lift” is originating at
Seward, Whittier and now at An
chorage. Tonnage being moved
monthly dwarfs the peak war
months.
Indications are that the Alaska
Railroad will match, and possibly
surpass, the record 125,000 tons of
freight moved during the month
of May, according to Colonel J.
P. Johnson, railroad general man
ager.
“Last month’s tonnage — the
greatest in the railroad’s 35-year
history—is more than double the
54,000 tons moved in October of
1943, the best ‘month during
World War II”, Johnson declares.
Every available railroad car is
being thrown into the campaign
to take freight pouring from ships
at the military port of Whittier
and at Anchorage and Seward.
But more cars are needed.
Four ships are being unloaded
! simultaneously at Seward. Two
are being worked at the railroad
dock and two vessels at the Sew
j ard army dock.
Seward longshoremen are
; working “around the clock” and
j seven days a week, Johnson said.
The net result is a smashing vol- i
I ume of freight for the railbelt of
Alaska.
While the railroad is keeping
the freight moving, its main ob
| jective is providing a pool of emp
ty railroad cars. Although boast
ing the largest fleet of rolling
stock in its history, the railroad
reports that the cars are being
loaded faster than they can be
unloaded.
The railroad general manager j
issued an appeal for all shippers !
to take delivery of their freight!
as quickly as possible.
“Keeping cars ready for service
is imperative to the continued ac
[ tivities of the construction and

KIRK STONE BACK IN TOWN
Kirk Stone, who was in the
Valley studying the Matanuska
Colony for the Bureau of Land
Management in 1941, 1946, and
1948, returned this week for a
summer’s work on a new pro
ject.
His “Alaskan Group Settle
ment: The Matanuska Valley”, a
Department of Interior publica
tion of 1950 is probably the only
objective report on the history
of the colony. He is also the auth
or of several papers on Alaskan
problems which have appeared
in scientific journals.
Sponsored by the Artie Insti
tute of North American and the
University of Wisconsin, where
he is a member of the Geography
Department, Dr. Stone will spend
much of his time studying the
mechanics of the Lake George
breakup. He will be particularly
interested in the effects of the
dumping of such ice-bound lakes
on the power potential and the
danger of flood destruction.
His headquarters will be in Pal
mer while working in Central
Alaska. After the breakup, ne
tvill go to Juneau to collect data
on early Russian and English
settlement of Alaska.
