Col. b arrell Urges Congress to Favor
Alaska Harbor, Flood Control Program
ANCHORAGE—A vigorous ap-<
peal that Congress “favorably
consider the small boat harbor,
navigational channel and flood
control program in Alaska” was
made Monday by Col. Carl Y. Far
rell, Alaska district engineer,
Corps of Engineers, at his appear
ance before members of the Sen
ate Interstate and Foreign Com
merce Committee meeting in An
chorage.
“An important part of water
transportation is the small boat
harbor which plays such a domin
ant role in the economy of the
territory,” Col. Farrell stressed.
Any discussion of water trans
portation inevitably leads to con
sideration of the full utilization of
water resources, Col. Farrell said.
He cited the 1950 Flood Control
Act which stated in part:
“Federal investigations and im
provements of rivers and other
waterways in Alaska for naviga
tion, flood control, hydroelectric
power and allied purposes shall be
continued under the jurisdiction
of and shall be prosecuted by the
Department of the Army under
the direction of the Secretary of
the Army and the supervision of
the Chief of Engineers.”
“Under this directive we are
proceeding with the survey of the
harbors and rivers of Alaska,”
Col. Farrell stated. In this study
the territory has been divided into
seven general areas and reports
have been completed on the fol
lowing five: Southeastern Alaska,
Cook Inlet and tributaries, Copper
River and Gulf Coast, Tanana
River Basin, Southwestern Alas
\ ka, including the Alaska Penin
sula, Kodiak Island and the Aleu
tian chain.
“A report on Northwestern Al
aska, including the Seward Penin
sula and the Arctic Slope, is es
sentially complete and will be
submitted in the near future.
Work is under way on a report of
the Yukon and Kuskokwim River
Basins,” he said.

Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALVERSON
The clear skies of the night re
veal once more the beauty of the
heavenly host. Like precious gems
sought by man throughout history
they shine like jewels. Like gems,
the stars and planets have names
and we associate certain charac
teristics with each name, some
times brightness and other times
location.
Jupiter, our largest, planet, is
the first to attract our attention
because of its brightness now. Ju
piter is now a morning star, shin
ing brightly at 6 a.m. ip the south
eastern sky. In a sense, it heralds
the dawn and must be sought out
before sunrise.
The planet Jupiter makes ap
proximately 45 degrees with the
horizon. Jupiter is one of our ma
jor and outermost planets, meas
uring 87,000 miles in diameter,
more tran 10 times the diameter
of the earth.

*No Eager Beaver Then
CHATHAM, New Brunswick, GP*
—One of this Canadian province’s
most famous products, British
publisher Lord Beaverbrook, was
n’t a very eager beaver when it
came to school.
Vacationing at his boyhood
home, he was presented with one
of his old public school report
cards.
“The card,” he said, “showed
that out of 100 school days that
year I had attended llVfe days.”
ment of the main stem of the Yu
kon River would involve a step
development starting in the vicin
ity of Ruby and continuing to the
Canadian border, Col. Farrell ex
plained. This development would
consist of dams at Ruby, Rampart
Canyon, Circle, Woodchopper, and
a site near the Canadian boundary
where the major portion of the
reservoir would lie within Canada.

Scrapers
flrrja Caterpillar Scrapers are designed to move pay dirt
‘ cheaper, faster and easier. They give the user quick
loading and full measure production in any material. Bowl and
apron designs are proportioned to allow incoming material to i
funnel up through the center of load with minimum of drag.
Blades are self-sharpening and are set to shear material, then
direct and guide it into loading chute. There are 8 models j
design-matched to the prime movers which power them.
LINCOLN
Welders
Regardless of your
r"® welding problem,
you’ll find the answer to it
in one of the many Lincoln
arc welders. There are Lin- j
coin arc welders for production, maintenance or structural
welding and for farm use. There are portable Lincoln arc j
welders on wheels and engine driven models. Using alternating
or direct current, Lincoln arc welders give weld uniformity at
all times ... and, equally important, they cost less than com
parable welders and give longer service life.
□ Self - Priming
Centrifugal Pump
fpn Rex Self-Priming Centrifugal
\ Pumps are the simplest self
priming centrifugal pumps ever built
. . . there are only six basic parts. This extreme design sim
plicity has great advantages. You get longer pump life . . .
fewer parts mean less wear, less chance for trouble, far lower
maintenance cost and more gallons of water pumped per dollar
of operating cost. You get sustained efficiency, too, for you can
quickly, easily replace all wearing parts to restore new pump
performance. Insist upon Rex pumps.
