Alaska Airlines
Plans Transpolar
Jet Flights
SEATTLE, Oct. 19— (if) —Come
1956 and Alaska Airlines hopes to
be running people and the mail
from Fairbanks, Alaska, ove* the
North Pole to Oslo, London and
Paris.
This was disclosed by airlines of
ficials today with the announce
ment that Alaska Airlines applied
last week to the Civil Aeronautics
Board for authority to operate jet
airlines over the roof of the world.
It’s all part of the firm’s long
range plans, officials said, and it
depends a great deal on the dev
elopment of jet powered air trans
ports in the United States. They
took cognizance of publicized strides
in jet transports in Britain and
Canada. They also said they may
consider use of four-engine trans
ports if jets are not available.
’ But we consider the jets to be
the answer in transpolar travel,”
they said.
$243 Million
In Reclamation
Fiinds Earmarked
AMARILLO, Texas, Oct. 19—UP)—j
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation j
announced details last night of a
$242,990,677 construction program
for the current fiscal year.
The program will bring water to
507,300 additional acres in the west
and includes projects costing $31,
581,580 in the states of Washington,
Oregon and Idaho.
Reclamation Commissioner Mich
ael W. Strauss said completion of
the projects started more than a
decade ago will bring reclamation |
water for the first time to vast j
areas. It will increase Reclamation |
Bureau electric power output by,
352,700 kilowatts.
Alaska also will benefit in the,
giant program, as $5,762,280 is to be
spent on the Eklutna project.
Construction will be initiated at
Eklutna dam, the Eklutna power I
plant and other facilities, Anchorage
| substation and the Eklutna to An

Sprague's 20-Year-Old Dream
Would Turn Auke Lake Into
Fisherman's Paradise
Twenty years ago, A. J. Sprague,4
former Territorial Commissioner of
Fisheries, had a dream of making
Auke Lake a good lake for sports
fishing.
Sprague is now interested in hav
ing the Territorial Sportsmen’s As
sociation get behind his plan.
"The Territorial Sportsmen really
do things, and if they approve the
plan and will go after it I think
something will be accomplished,”
Sprague said.
In addition to making the lake,
an attraction for tourists with fish- j
ing on their minds, his plan would
also benefit the canning industry,
Sprague said, at^d provide a desir
able source of water for residents
in the Auke Lake area.
What was his plan?
Well, here it is as he presented
it to Delegate A. J. Dimond in 1934.
According to E. L. Bartlett, present
delegate, who has just returned his
letter to him, Sprague’s plan of
1934 “still sounds like a good idea.”
This is Sprague's letter:
August 30, 1934
Hon. A. J. Dimond,
Delegate from Alaska,
Juneau, Alaska.
My Dear Mr. Dimond:
“In accordance with your request
I submit the following data regard
ing the Montana Creek-/ uke Lake
project:
Froject
“To divert a portion, or all, of a
clear-water stream known as Mon
tana Creek, with an available spawn
area of approximately 14 miles in
cluding its tributary, into Auke Lake.
“1. Montana Creek is a clear
water stream all year and at pre
sent empties into the muddy glacier
waters of Mendenhall River which
at present prevents the red salmon
using same as a fine desirable
spawning area.
“2. Auke Lake has no living all
year stream that empties into it.
Only during heavy rains is there
any amount of water and always of
a tundra condition. Repeated ef
forts to re-stock the lake has proved
unsuccessful.
wnat, win dc accompusneu uy
diverting the clear waters of Mon
tana Creek into Auke Lake is as
follows: Red salmon will only spawn
on stream that has a lake in its
course, and it is desirable to build
up this specie of salmon, for proper
ly speaking the First Division is
not a red salmon but a humpy,
district.
Results and Benefits
“L It will give the red salmon
a d,esired laj:e and additional
spawning area of 14 miles.
“2. The clear waters will wash
out of this lake the undesirable
tundra water present.
“3. The young salmon fry will
remain in the lake the year period
during winter, passing to sea on
the one year age.

throat trout and grayling will be;
of added value to the hundreds of
sportsmen and tourists who desire
this pleasure of fishing—adding ad
ditional revenues to Juneau, as this
would make a wonderful fishing
stream easily accessible by a fine
auto road.
“5. Of a mutual benefit to the
salmon canning industry and trout
fishing for thousands.
"6. All homesteaders living on the
Fritz Cove road will have a clearer
and more desirable water supply
for drinking and if necesary power
supply for the homes.
"Respectfully Submitted,
A. J. SPRAGUE.
"We have been trying to stock
Auke Lake with Colorado brook
trout since 1917, but haven’t had
any luck,” Sprague said. "The water
is too warm. Bass might thrive
in Auke Lake—but trout? No.”
Sprague, who admits he is one
of the oldtemers who helped dig
Lynn Canal, operated the first
hatchery in this area, at Thane,
back in 1917. He was aided in his
project by Bart L. Thane, manager
of the Gastineau Mining Co.
Colorado brook trout from Spra
gue’s hatchery were planted in up
per and lower Dewey lakes at. Skag
way, in Salmon creek, and upper
and lower Annex lakes. A Tread
well dike plane was made especially
for ardent fisherman Phil Bradley,
Treadwell and Juneau executive.
Fish Creek, Rhinestone and Grind
stone creeks and Turner lake all
were stocked by Sprague. Fishermen
are still catching Colorado trout
from these favorite streams and
lakes.
Those cutthroats sportsmen catch |
at Warm Springs Bay. . .Sprague (
planted them, too. They were trans
planted from Lake Eva, on Peril
Straits, to Warm Springs.
The former fisheries commission
er reminisced about the old Al
aska Fish and Game Club, founded
in Juneau 34 years ago. Sparkplug
of the group was A. T. Spatz. Old- j
timers remember the Spatz Cafe as
a very fancy place to eat wonderful
food.
“Charles Goldstein, Charlie Dav
idson were first officers of the Fish
and Game Club. We had 400 mem- j
bers who paid $1 a year member
ship, and we certainly accomplished
a lot in those days," Sprague recall
ed.

Neutral Zones
redded for
Truce Talks
MUNSAN, Korea, Oct. 19—Iff)—
Liaison officers agreed today on the
size of neutral zones around Kae
song and Munsan, thus clearing the
biggest hurdle in the path to re
opening Korean truce talks.
Only two other points remained
in dispute.
The feeling at this U.N. advance
headquarters was that armistice
negotiations might be resumed in a
few days, ending a two months
breakdown.
Krig. Gen. William P. Nuckols,
U.N. command spokesman, cau
tioned:
■ Any point, however small, re
mains a point of contention that
will block resumption of armistice
talks.”
However, he was ‘‘cautiously op
timistic.”

tic]ped push through the legislature
an appropriation for the Territor
ial Fish Commission and Sprague
was appointed first commissioner
by Governor Thomas Riggs.
The commission maintained a
hatchery built into the swimming
pool of the old A. B. Hall during
the '20's. Then. Sprague explained,
appropriations for the fish com
mission were withdrawn and the
hatchery discontinued.
Sprague is still in the hatchery
business, operating the hatchery at
230 Irvine street for Alaska Fisher
ies Commissioner Clarence Ander
son. Here, there arc 100,000 Red
salmon eggs waiting to be distribut
ed to streams as soon as they have
eyed. Thus, they will hatch under
natural conditions and the streams
I eccme the parent waters for the
fish.
But, on the side, Sprague's chief
interest is in doing something with
Auke Lake. He can visualize the
lake as a tourists’ paradise.
Sprague can sec Auke Lake with
row boats and fishing gear avail
able. Because the lake is only a few
miles from town, he says, the tour
ist fishermen in town for several
hours while the ship was in port
would not have to forego fishing be
cause fishing areas are too hard to
reach. He can see Auke Lake be
coming one of Juneau’s biggest
tourist attractions.
"And with support from Com
missioner Anderson and the Sports
men’s association, I think this 20
yerr-cld dream of mine will become
a fact,” Sprague still says hope
fully.
AFL Boss Meets
With Rebels In Try
To End Dork Tieup
NEW YORK, Oct. 19—tT)—AFL
longshore boss Joseph P. Ryan j
agreed today to meet with rebel j
leaders of a five day wildcat dock
strike to try to end the tieup.
Ryan previously had refused to
see the strike leaders, which spear
headed a port-wide revolt against
a newly-negotiated contract.
His capitulation came after 301
officials of striking locals met, and j
called on him for a conference. The j
session with Ryan began shortly i
thereafter.
At the same time, in a surprise J
sw'itch, waterfront tough-guy An
thony Anastasia sent out “flying
squads" of 8C0 men in a fleet of
250 cars to keep striking dock hands
from returning to work.
Previously Anastasia, member of
the notorious racketeering family,
had tried to get the men back to
work by importing crews of strike
breakers.
Police rushed major reinforce
ments—emergency trucks, service
cars and radio cars—to Brooklyn
piers as Anastasia’s caravan show
ed up in the area.
STRIKE SPREADS
NEW YORK, Oct. 19—(Jl—A wild
cat strike of stevedores dissastisfied i
with a newly-negotiated labor con- j
tract spread today as their leaders !
had promised.
Dock workers in Brooklyn and
Staten Island who had been work- j
ing during the past five days of j
sporadic strikes were reported quit- i
ting shortly after 1 p.m.
Leaders of the dissident faction |
had threatened to tie up the en
tire port of New York by 1 p.m. at
a meeting earlier with AFL long
shoremen’s union President Joseph
P. Ryan. , |
Ryan had been urging the strik
ers to honor their contract. But he
said he now may take over direction
of the strike.

Sw “Oil Progress? Should
that mean something to me?”
The oil companies of America are now observing,
Oil Progress Week. Some people outside the industry
have asked, "Oil Progress? Should that mean some
thing to me?"
The answer is “Yes, indeed!”—for oil progress
directly affects the lives of all Americans, and the
rest of the civilized world as well. One indication
of the strides the industry has made is a count of
its products. Fifty years ago, we were getting only
about a dozen different products out of crude oil.
Now Standard produces more than 1100. What we
ourselves produce, plus what’s made with the help
of products we provide, adds up to a seemingly
endless list of things that make your life better.
