ALASKA MAY BE
SOURCE FOR URANIUM

WASHINGTON - The Interior Department discosed this week [ is making thorough geological search to determine whether Alas ka may be a source of uranium. the basic material for atomic en- ergy and the atomic bomb.
 Also under survey are Alaska $ potentialities in oil, coal, gold and radium, and means of coping with the construction problem of " canic activity and permafrost-the permanently frozen ground which underlies the northern part of tas Territory.
 The Departments Geological Survey said in a report to seera- tary Krug, 56 geologists took par5 in summer-long field stluy which covered a wide ..nge. Laa- oratory analyses ot thGsf nndIngs will continue through the winter.

THROUGH THE SENTINEL RERTSCOPE

Death of Frank Price last week en
 in Sitka left a vacancy in the First
 Division House representation with
 tie result a special election has been called for January 20, a week prior to converting of the 1947 leg islature. to fill the seat. Price, former deputy marshal and widely known pioneer resident of the First Division, passed away in the Pioneers Home hospital following an illness of several weeks. He had been elected to the House at the last general election with a seye1- vote margin over Joe Krause 3f Ketchikan. Report is that Krause will be a candidate for the seat at the special election. There probably will be others. No filings are re- quired in special elections. Tn y are wide open to anyone who wants to make a campaign. :. While there is no party declara- ton, it is anticipated the Demos and GOPers will each attempt tc concentrate on one candidate from their ranks as balance of par ty power in the House hinges on the outcome. House lineup now stands at 12 Republicans and Il Demos. Latter could win a 12- 12 tie with a successful candidate January 20. There'll probab- ly be a bill introduced at the next session proposing a levy of about dollar a ton per year on small boats, with the money being turn ed back to municipalities for use in keeping up floats and facilities for the use of the boat owners. !. An ether income tax measure also will likely hit the hopper, but there is talk in some sources of boosting the gross revenue tax levy a cent, or possibly two, earmarking part of it for the general fund. One cent on gross sales now goes dir ectly into the veterans fund - Iaises about a million year. .. Back in the Territory this week is Governor Gruening after several weeks in the States in the interest of Alaska. =. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

WRANGELLITEs DO SOMETHING ABOUT WEATHER
 FLOW THROUGH IT

Contrary to Mark Twain's sage remark that everybody talks about the weather but no one does any thing about it, Wrangellites on Christmas Eve ''yula . bucked" through a fluffy snowfall to take Christmas greetings to their friends and Christmas day continu- ed the festivities, although a light rain was slushing up the snow. Next day it turned cold and has continued so since. Sentinel fore cast for New Years week: High winds followed by high skirts fol- lowed by men.
