Ger era! Sfeese,
Pioneer Road Man,
Coming io Aiaika
One of Alaska’s pioneer road
builders is coming to Alaska, it
was announced today by the Alas
ka Road Commission.
He is General James G. Stcese,
who was president of the Alaska
Road Commission from 1920 to
1927. His home was in Juneau. The
Steese Highway, from Fairbanks to
Circle, was named for him.
W. J. Neimi, chief of operations
for the commission, said that Gen.
Stcese is leaving Seattle around
August 1 on the steamer Aletuian
and will go directly to Seward,
Anchorage and the Interior and re
turn to Juneau via Haines the last
of August.

Hospital building
For Native Service
Ahead cf Schedule
Construction on the Alaska Na
tive Service hospital building at
Anchorage to house hospital per
| sonnel is far ahead of schedule,
! according to Hugh J. Wade, area
director for the service.
“The building is expected to be
! finished by October, 1952, nine
months ahead of the contract
deadline,” said Wade. “The three
story reinforced-concrete struc
| ture will house more than 200
nurses and help for the hospital.”
“The hospital at Kotzebue is
crowded due possibly to the fact
that part of the load from the
Bethel service hospital is taken
care of there,” he said.
Tire Bethel hospital was des
troyed by fire early this year.
Wade returned Tuesday from a
supervisory trip to service instal
lations in the Bristol Bay and
Norton Sound areas. (

Here Comes
Another 'Big'
Alaska Novel!
SEATTLE, July 23, —.Pi—It seems
that Kathryn Winslow, of Chicago,
wrote a highly successful book on
the Klondike gold rush without ever
setting foot in the far north. It
was published last January under
the title. “Big Fan-out.”
Now, she’s starting her second
book on Alaska, but this time she’s
gathering her material first hand.
She will leave Saturday on the first
leg of a 20,000-mile air trip that
will take her to almost every town
and hamlet in the Territory.
“This book—and maybe there will
be two or three of them—is going
to be about the people who built
and developed Alaska,” said Miss
Winslow, bubbling over with her
plans. “I want to tell the story of
the Western Union representatives
and the men of the Army Signal
Corps who began dickering with
Russia for the purchase of Alaska
back in the sixties.”
(Editor's Note: Miss Winslow is
somewhat haywire. Russia tried to
sell Alaska to the United States in
the 1850’s, when they* were afraid
England would seize the country
during the Crimean War. We were
n’t interested.)

eries, according to C. L. Anderson,
director.
He returned from Kodiak where
he had gone with Clinton Stockley,
the new watershed management
supervisor, who will launch the first
stages of the project.
Stockl°v will get red salmon eggs
from Perenosa Lake and will set
up a station w'here they can be
“eyed out” and planted in streams
flowing into Pauls Lake above Pere
nosa Bay. Pauls Lake was chosen
for the planting because it is barren
of salmon due to a 15-foot falls
on the outlet stream, Anderson said.
Apparently there is an abundance
of food in the lake because it sup
ports a large rainbow trout popula
tion.
By planting the red salmon eggs
this year the department will have
four or five years in which to work
out a plan to build a fish way or
divert the stream to an easier grad
ient before the salmon return to
spawn, Anderson said.
The lake is about four miles long
and has three "splendid" feeder
streams, he said.
The Washington Fish and Oyster
Co. at nearby Port Williams has of
ferred its facilities and boats to
assist in obtaining and hatching the
salmon eggs, Anderson said.

Man in Hospital
One in Court as
Result of Accident
Agapito Echaves, cannery wor
ker, was In the hospital yester
day and Andy Julflpon, cook at
Percy's Cafe, was in court as the
result of an automobile accident
on tlie Douglas road.
Both men suffered cuts on the
face which necessitated several
stitches by Dr. W. M. Whitehead
who was called for the emergency,
and Echaves also suffered a bro
ken leg.
The accident occurred about
3:30 am., Thursday two miles
north of Douglas, according to
Highway Patrol Officer John
Monagle. The car was traveling
toward Juneau.
Julapon, who was driving, ap
parently lost control of the car
and it went into a ditch on the
wrong side of the road according
to Monagle. Besides a broken
steering wheel hcv said there was
slight damage to the car.
At a trial this afternoon in the
U. S. Commissioner’s Court, Jula
pon pleaded guilty to a charge of
driving while under the influence
of intoxicating liquor and was
lined $100 and given a suspended
30-day jail term by Judge Gor
don Gray. Julapon’s driver's li
cense was also suspended for one
year.
The complaint was signed by
Monagle and U. S. Attorney Pat
rick J. Gilmore Jr., prosecuted
the case.
Good Pink
Escapement in
Seymour Canal
An excellent seeding of pink sal
mon is showing in streams at the
head of Seymour Canal and in
streams on the mainland side of
Stephen’s Passage.
This was reported today by C.
Howard Baltzo, assistant regional
director of the Fish and Wildlife
Service, who made an aerial survey
of the districts yesterday.
With Clay Scudder, fisheries spec
ialist from the Alaska Native Serv
ice, he flew along both shores of
Stephen’s Passage and to the north
end of Rocky Pass. He said that
from the number of fish already
in the streams the escapement
should be excellent by the time
schools, lying off the mouths of
streams, get up-stream. However,
he said there was no showing yet
in Rocky Pass or the immediate
south.
Today Baltzo was flying over the
Icy Strait district. Scudder and Gus
Hilsinger, of the Fish and Wildlife
Service, were surveying the Chath
am Strait, Peril Strait and Tenakee
districts.
The pink salmon season opens in
Southeast Alaska August 6.

'Steel Helmet'
Ends Run Tonight
At 20th Century
“The Steel Helmet" now show
ing at the 20th Century Theatre
was designed to be sound, intel
ligent, exciting and thoughtful
screen drama—and it emerges as
every one of these things. It will
be the first literate treatment of
the Korean War to reach film
goers; consequently it will be one
of the substantial boxoffice at
tractions of early 1951.
By no means is "The Steel Hel
met" a cheap attempt to capital
ize on a world-wide calamity. The
Fuller story is well knit and dis
courses subtly and efiectlvely on
the diffeernces between democ
racy and communism.
The characters are believable. |
Fuller's eloquence as a writer is |
matched by the finesse of his dl- i
roction—his understatmfent lends |
terrible reality to the action and
dramatic motivation.
Gene Evans' superbly shaded
characterization of the tough, bat
tle-worn sergeant is memorable.
Robert Hutton's quiet portrayal
of a one-time conscientious ob
jector is sincere, and Steve Bro
die's officer wins sympathy. James
Edwards is spendid as the Negro
medico.

W. K. Boyd Wins
Prize for Paper in
Engineer Journal
>.V. K. Boyd, materials engineer for
the Bureau of Public Roads In Jun
eau, has been honored by the Am
erican Society- of Civil Engineers,
it was anounced today by R. A.
Stoddard, division engineer,
Boyd was awarded the Thomas
Fitch Rowland prize for 1951 by the
civil engineer society. It is award
ed annually for the best technical
paper to appear in “Transactions,”
publication of the Society.
Boyd was co-author of a paper
entitled "Design Curves for Very
Heavy Multiple Wheel Assemblies.’'
It develops methods for determining
the amount of base and pavement
required over any soil found in air
field construction to withstand
wheel loads produced by airplanes
such as the B-36 bomber. Although
the method was developed for use
in airfield construction, it is also
applicable in design of highways
used by heavy trucks having sev
eral axles.
Presentation of the award will be
made at the time of the annual
convention of the society In Oct
ober in New York City.
