FLOOD CONTROL
AFTER INSPECTION OF LOWELL
CREEK ENGINEERS LOOK
OVER ILIAMNA ROAD
“In a way, the flood that hit Low.
ell Creek thru the City of Seward
after the recent heavy rain was a
blessing in disguise because the tor
rent moved sand and gravel to places
where we wanted it and will help
jin t.h'3 excavation work necessary in
the building of the flood control
flume. There are places whore it
piled up too much, but on the whole
tho flood control work will be ex.
pedited, and after inspection of the
upper dam work already put in by
Wba Warrack Construction Co., which
|withstood the extraordinary assauit
!° t:: •vp.ters and debris, I feel con
i’ !’”nt th: the entire project can go
juii'u a workmanlike exp->.1: clous
manner even belter than our original
plans called lor. Such a re some of
the blessing that may befall from an
act of God.”
Such was the startling :iatement
| of Major D. II. Gillette, engineer o
j)cer oi the Alaska Road Commission,
jwho has just been in Seward, called
|hen? by report of the flood and upon
jtne advici of President Malcom
jElliott on . the assumption tliat the
.Seward district, might be in need of
• assistance. \t or looking over the
jsituation here, Major Gillette and Ike
; Taylor, muster mechanic for the
j commission, Sunday morning fpr i
|;| three-week’s trip along th© Kenie !
[!t>ninsula and acroos Cook's Inlet to!
Tliamna.
"Feeling uir.t everything is in safe
.nands here, and having heard so ■
I much la tely about that Iliamna road
ro'T-of^c’ Iliaiftn:; Bay with Iliamna j
Lake, we are going to give that pro.
position the "double O” again said j
Major Gillette. “We have long felt I
that a road might do a greaf deal of j
good and are willing to go as far as I
l our funds will permit. In the mean
time we have a number of things to
investigate on Kenai Peninsula and
will look after the Nuka Bay region
as soon as we can get at it. In view
of the late report of big gold discov
eries there this seems desirable.”
Referring again to the Lowell creek
flood control flume, Major Gillette
said that he had heard fears expressed
that the proposed flume would not
carry off tbs high waters of the can
yon when the waters were on ram.
page. “You can spike that talk right
now,” he said “beeauso nothing has
occurred to change our original plansj
based upon measurements of stream
flow. Thts flume after construction
according to present specifications
will easily carry off any waters that
may ever come down that stream.”
Captain Guthrie
Sends His Regards
—
“Pretty hot out here,” writes Cap
tain Ralph R. Guthrie, formerly in
charge of the Signal Corps activities
in this area who, with Mrs. Guthrie,
departed some weeks ago for Merna,
Neb. “Came here on the Northern |
Pacific and while enroute learned
that your new general manager of
tit© Alaska Railroad, Otto F. Ohlson,
is very popular with everybody.”
Captain Guthrie informs the Gate
way he is putting in his| spare time
writing a new novel entitled “The
Man Without Brains,” (not an auto
biography). In closing he says Mrs.
Guthrie and liimsfelf are preparing
to leave Merna for Sam Francisco,
24S5, Chestnut St., and sends his best
regards to friends.
