620-Mile Haines-Fairbanks Pipeline
Is Rapidly Nearing Completion With
Operation To Start In Sept., 1955
ANCHORAGE—Pipeline crews]
are welding along the Haines I
Highway, working on the final
portion of the Haines-Fairbanks
pipeline. The Williams Brothers
pipeliners are reported to have
moved to within 10 miles of
Haines and are expected to arrive
at the little southeastern Alaska
port city soon, the last lap in a
vital defense fuel line.
As the pipeline operation nears
Haines, the most spectacular part
of the giant project is being com
pleted, for in less than six months
two pipeline crews—one operat
ing in Alaska and the other in
Canada — have welded 620 miles
of steel pipeline across rugged
Arctic terrain.
The long pipeline forms the
major portion of a multi-million
dollar fuel line from the port of
Haines in southeastern Alaska to
Fairbanks in the interior, for the
major supply of jet, aviation and
diesel fuels to the military in Al
aska.
In addition to the pipeline, the
overall project includes the con
struction of a petroleum dock at
Haines, pumping stations, POL
storage, housing and other facili
ties needed as support along the
pipeline’s lengthy route. The en
tire project is scheduled to be
completed and ready fo'r use by
the military in September 1955.
When placed into full operation
the pipeline will make up the
overland portion of a new petro
leum supply line to the Army and
Air Force bases in the sprawling
Northern Territory. A continual
flow of the defensively vital fuels
will be fed into the pipeline’s ter
minal facilities at Haines by oil
barges reaching Alaska by follow
ing a protected water route from
the northwestern states.
This water route, the scenic In
side Passage, is a continuous pas
sage of inlets and waterways
through the long chain of islands
that dot the western coast waters
of Canada and southeastern Alas
ka. The Inside Passage offers sea
traffic between the United States
and Alaska maximum protection

from the violent storms of the
Gulf of Alaska and possible sub
marine action in the event of war.
From its Haines terminal, the
pipeline follows the general route
of the Haines Highway to its junc
ture with the Alaska Highway
and continues a northwesterly
route to Fairbanks along this fa
mous avenue to the north.
The Haines-Fairbanks pipeline
project is mute evidence of the
friendship and the joint coopera
tion of two great countries in de
fense of Western democracy. The
permission necessary for the pipe
line to cross the Canadian boun
daries prior to the project’s go
ahead was readily given to' the
United States last year by the
Canadian government.
Just returned to his Anchorage
office following a tour of inspec
tion over the entire project with
Northern Pacific Division Engi
neer, Col. L. H. Foote, Col. Carl
Y. Farrell, Alaska district engi
neer for the U.S. Corps of Engi
nees, stated that the accomplish
ment of the mainline piping for
the pipeline is a feat which will
go down in history as a memorial
to the ingenuity and daring of the
construction industry in the Arc

SPRAY PAINT FOUND
REAL TIME-SAVER
WE TRIED OUT one of the
new aerosol cans of spray paint
last weekend and it certainly
was a revelation. No brush or
roller to clean and you can get
the same high gloss finish that
elaborate spray painting equip
ment puts on automobiles. The
invention is a real time-saver
for small jobs.
This is an easy way to touch
up chipped enamel on a refrig
erator, range or sink. Now that
etffv:
13 colors of enamel, plus clear
acrylic, are available, you'll
probably find the womenfolks
spray-painting almost every
worn object in the house. You
can get a six-ounce can for less
than a dollar.
The clear lacquer type is
handy for the workshop. It will
protect the finish on tools and
chomium and prevent tarnish
on brass. You can use it on
leather luggage to keep it wat
erproof and new looking.
