Hints B.C. May
Trade Power For
Alaska Corridor
VICTORIA, B.C., IjP)—A veiled
suggestion British Columbia might
be willing to trade Columbia
river hydro power for access
rights through the Alaska Pan
handle was issued Monday night
by Premier W.A.C. Bennett.
The guarded invitation to the
bargaining table was made by the
premier in a banquet address to
the 35th general conference of
the Pacific Northwest Trade Asso
ciation.
The B.C. government is “fully
aware” of the needs of the U.S.
Pacific Northwest for power, he
said, “just as I am sure they are
cognizant of our needs, for ex
ample, of an outlet to the Pacific
through the Alaska Panhandle.”
"If the interests of both parties
are understood then certainly a
mutually satisfactory arrange
ment can be reached,” the pre
mier said.
Bennett said his government
“must safeguard the vital inter
ests of our people . . . and assure
that adequate supplies of power
are available for our present and
future requirements."
But he felt the Columbia river
power development can be “solved
in the best interests of all parties
concerned.”
He said B.C.’s dependence on
the U.S. market for sale of its
products has “potential dangers.”
"A small fluctuation of demand
— lumber, for example — in the
Uni led States can have very un
favorable repercussions on our
economy,” he said.
B.C. Legislator Critical
Of Plan To Swap
KAMLOOP, B.C., liP — Provin
cial Cooperative Commonwealth
Federation leader Robert Stra
chan criticized Premier Bennett’s
suggestion that B. C. might be
willing to trade Columbia river
hydro power for access rights
through the Alaska Panhandle.
Strachan said he disliked “off
the-cuff deals of this nature’’ and
added:
“Mr. Bennett seems determined
to give away Columbia river
power. Is this another Kaiser dam
deal that he’ll be wanting to for
get about 12 months from now?”
The CCF leader said he won
dered if Bennett has discussed the
suggestion with Ottawa or con
sidered the answers to many other
questions.
In Vancouver, CCF member of
the legislature Arthur Turner said
the Columbia river’s power is
worth far more than a corridor
through the Panhandle.
The high point of yesterday’s
achievement should be your strat
ing point for today.

Alaska Retail Sales
Drop $908,000 In
1955 From 1954
JUNEAU, UP> — An analysis of
retail sales based on sales tax
proceeds from 14 cities in 1954
and 1955 shows sales decreased
$908,800, according to a report
compiled by the Alaska Resources
Development Board.
Total inferred sales during 1954
amounted to $53,145,350, com
pared to $52,236,750 in 1955, a
decrease of 1.7 per cent, accord
ing to the report. Six cities show
ed a gain in sales, seven showed
a loss and one remained even.
Ketchikan and Seward showed
the greatest losses with drops of
$1,304,750 and $759,700 respec
tively.
Sitka and Cordova showed the
greatest gain. Sitka’s increase was
$521,800 and Cordova’s was $369,
950.
Retail sales for Anchorage,
which has no sales tax, were not
included in the report. The study
shows that 19 municipalities in
the territory had a 2 per cent sales
tax last year. Pelican had a 1
per cent sales tax.
Anchorage, Kodiak, Port Alex
ander and Unalaska had no sales
tax last year. Kodiak, however,
adopted a 2 per cent tax this
year. ,
Total 1954 sales tax revenue
for the 14 cities included in the
report was $903,706. In 1955 the
sales tax take was $1,039,735.
To be opposed by a certain type
of a man is the best evidence in
the world that you really amount
to something.

Alaska School of Mines
Makes Available Book Or
Geochemical Prospecting
The University of Alaska schoo
of mines last week made available
to the public a copyrighted print
ed booklet titled “Elemental*}
Geochemical Prospecting Meth
ods.”
Editor of the publication, which
is the first of its type, is Lee
Mark Anthony, assistant professor
of mining extension.
The geochemical prospecting
methods explained in the booklet
are the general reconnaissance
methods developed by the U. S.
Geological Survey and the Uni
versity of Alaska School of Mines.
Prof. Anthony said that geo
chemical prospecting supplements
the older methods of prospecting
for ore deposits and enables the
prospector to seek out invisible
signs of mineralization which
have gone undetected in the past.
In its use of sensitive, but cheap
and rapid, analytical methods to
find mineral dispersion patterns
in water, soil, vegetation, sedi
ment and rock, geochemical pros
pecting offers a new approach to
the problem of probing the pros
pecting areas.
Written in easily understand
able terms, the booklet is avail
able at $1 from the school.
