U OF ALASKA GETS
WORKING DREDCJE
modElIfor DISPLAY
h A working dredge model has
been donated to the University' of'
Alaska School of Mines: by the
New York-Alaska Gold Dredging
Corp. of Nyac, Alaska, in the
Aniak district, through the cour
tesy of the corporation’s presi
dent, James K. Crowdy.
Dean Earl Beistline arranged
for the contribution through Wil
liam H. Race, resident manager
for NYADC, and a 1942 mining
engineering graduate from the
University.
“This dredge is an extremely
valuable contribution to the Uni
versity” Dean Beistline stated.
“We sincerely appreciate the sup
port given the School by the min
ing industry. President Crowdy
and his men went to considerable
time and expense to see that we
received that dredge in fine
shape.
“Ernest Clements and fellow
employees, reassembled, painted
and refurbished the model and
volunteered considerable time
and effort in doing so.”
The dredge is set up in the ore
dressing laboratory of the Mines
building, and will eventually be
for actual operation. Its use is
two-fold, Dean Beistline said, as
an excellent laboratory piece to
show dredge operations, and as a
tourist attraction since dredging
has played so much a -part in
Alaska’s development.
The five-by-seven foot model
with stacker nad bucket line will
span 14 feet when in actual oper
ation. The boat was originally
christened “No. 2V2 Nyac,” and
it will eventually bear a bronze
plaque to show the name of its
donor.

Potatoes Big
In 49th State
By PJHILIP KEIF
ATT TAKE CITY .(*>>—Maine
and Idaho note: Potatoes grow
big and fast in our 49th State,
Alaska.
Mark Nichols. Utah’s supervi
sor of agricultural education who
iust returned from a farm survey
of Alaska, says they dont grow
very manv spuds — there isn’t
much farm land being cultivated
— but they’re bi<* and of good
quality, though a little watery.
The reason is light. In the
Matanuska Valley, about 60 miles
north of Anchorage, the plants
may get 20 hours of sunlight a
day. compared to about 12 hours
in Idaho and Maine — maybe a
bit more in Maine because of its
far north latitude. But Alaska is
farther north — the sun hardly
gets a chance to set.
And since plants grow bv pho
tosynthesis. and since light is
what keeps photosynthesis going
— the more light, the more
growth.
They even grow spuds north of
the Arctic ircle. Nichols visited
Ft. Yukon, north of the circle and
said he saw some good-sized
spuds on Aug. 5 at the experi
mental farm run for Alaska bv
Indian Harold Petersen there. He
said the potatoes were bigger
most of those grown in Idaho or
Maine at that time of the grow
ing season.
But Maine and Idaho, the po
tato ’ producing leaders in the
other 48 states, need not fear
being overtaken for awhile, for
at this there are onlv 200 full
time and 300 part time farmers
in all Alaska.
Nichols made a survey of agri
cultural educational needs at the
request of the Alaskan Educa
tion Department, along with C.
O. Mcorkle, Administrative dean
of California State Politechnic at
San Luis Obispo, from July 11
to Aug. 11.
Rocket Scare
In "Idaho
POCATELLO, Idaho. UR—You
can come out now, Earth people.
That rocket from outer space
came from a teen-ager’s base
ment.
The thing turned up on Ruel
H. Barrus’ lawn last weekend —
still smoking. Jt was a rocket
shaped aluminum cylinder 10
inches long and three across. Its
crumpled nose was buried deep
in the dirt, and its burned outer
shell suggested the kind of heat
a rocket might encounter on hit
ting the earth’s atmosphere.
The find , caused a stir in this
east Idaho community, where
flying saucer reports have turned
up lately. The press played it big.
It was the publicity that flushed
the worried engineers of the
prank, Roy Bennell, 14, and Paul
Napper, 15, decided to go to the
cops before the cops came* to
them.
In a statement written out yes
terday before police let them go,
the-boys explained: “This . . .
was primarily a psychological ex
periment, to see what would hap
pen if the reported flying saucers
had actually fired a reconnais
sance missile.”
NOTICE
There will be a fire, electrical
