City Must
 Incorporate To Qualify

Palmer stands in line to be re- cipient of possible $3,000,000 worth of civic improvements un- der the public works program for Alaska, if the city can meet it's responsibilities toward that pro- gram. That was the information disclosed this week by Don L. IT, win and Jack Maze of the Val ley Chamber of Commerce, who have been working on requested information for the project for the past several weeks.
 The project, first planning for which began in January, 1946, is based upon proposed legisla- tion for public works act initi- ated as part of the development program for Alaska. This legis- lation was submitted to the Blu reau of the Budget on March of this year, and soon is to go to Congress for approval.
 An April 6 of this year, Earl D. McGinty, district engineer in charge of the Alaska Public Works program, wrote to the Matanuska Valley Farmers Co., operating Association to ask the type of municipal improvements needed in Palmer and how the city was prepared to assume it's percentage of the cost of those improvements. That letter was unanswered by the MVFCA. The letter was given to Chamber of Commerce representatives late this month.
 In response to a folloW-up wire from MT. McGinty on April 19, MT. Maze and MT. Irwin together drew up a list of projects which it was felt are most urgently needed by Palmer. This list in- cluded:
 A Federal building to cost an estimated $1,4OO,OOO; grading and gravelling of Palmer's streets and alleys to cost an estimated

Don Rates { Students Tops as Teachers

Students most likely to suc- ceed as teachers in the coming years, according to the profes- sional rating scores released by Superintendent" Don Irwin at the conclusion of a recent student instruction day in Palmer's class rooms, are Duane Huntley, Georgia Small, Evelyn Foster, Peggy Yohn, Evon DeLand and Noel Woods.
 Don rated those six 95 per cent higher on his teacher efficiency scale. Nancy Smith was close be- hind with a rating of 90 per cent, while Earl Onkka at 88 per cent and Sophie Vanderpool and Alice Ray at 85 per cent were still good teaching prospects in pon's book.

Kitchen Fire
 Does No Damage

Fire broke out in the Ron-Da- Woo restaurant late last Thurs day evening as a result of de- fective wiring in the kitchen. Fortunately the flames were dis covered soon enough that prompt action on the part of volunteer firemen confined the fire to the restaurant kitchen.
 A number of buildings in that block are of frame construction, and it was the consensus of fire men who worked on the blaze that another five minutes might have doomed most of the struc- lures in that block.
 The flames were first discov- cred by Mrs. Steve Ward, who called the fire department inn mediately. Final damage was negligible, and owner Pete Lu- cey was back in his kitchen and ready to serve his customers on the next day.

Soil Men Analyze Alaska's Woes

Valley are outlined in the report as follows:
 Provision for orderly develop ment of lands, guidance for set clement, conservation of soil and water resources and prevention of erosion, conducting of capa- bility surveys, development and dissemination of information on conservation, broadening h e range of adapted crops, increas- ing the quality and quantity of adapted crops, promotion of the conservation of national forests, promotion of a fire prevention program, encouragement of the development of lands of known agricultural value and the en- couragement and development of other industries and resources which will provide greater market for the agricultural prod ucts of the district.
 The report points out h t most of Alaska's land is very new, with shallow top soil reach ing to not more than a depth of six to 10 inches. Because of the newness of the land, con- stant renewal of the soil is nec- essary through the use of fer tilizers and crop rotation. The average acreage in cultivation in Alaska varies between 15 to 30 acres, with row crops the pri- mary commodity produced for market, and little crop rotation

planned as are needed to take care of those who enroll
 The classes will last for five weeks and will meet one after noon each week. Each class will last about two hours.
 The course oh arge for the sketch class will be S10 for the full five-Weeks session. This charge does not include the cost of supplies. Needed supplies as sketchbook, pencils and .erasers, may be purchased at the Palmer Photographic Center.
 Students who enroll for the class will be notified by Miss Bleck as to the date and meeting time of their group.

practiced.
 The condition is brought about, both by the high cost of clear ing land and the high prices for this type of crops. One objective of the district program is to bring abont a more complete production of adapted crops. The list of crops known to be adapt ed to growth within the various areas of Alaska include:
 Berries, grain, dairying, live stock, poultry, potatoes, carrots, turnips, celery, cabbage, cauli- flower, lettuce and onions.
 It is the recommendation of the report that clearing costs and methods be studied, in order that the cost of bringing new land into production may be lowered. A credit policy for land clearing, both public and private, is advocated in the published report.
 Present problems in the agri- cultural development of Alaska, which will be studied by Alas ka's Soil Conservation Service, include:
 Lack of information on the soils and the capability of the land, wind erosion, water eros ion, loss of the organic content of soil already under cultivation, loss of organic content of the soil in the process of land clear (Continued on back page)

MONTANA MEN VISIT

Several of the Great Falls, Mont, members of the Chamber of Commerce tour which visited in Anchorage last week motored to the Valley on Saturday morn ing. They were accompanied by a United Press photographer and were escorted on tour of Valley points of interest by M. D. Snod- grass. All of them expressed great interest in the Valley and were unanimous in their state ment that they intended to re- turn sometime.
Valley frontiersman., 1948-05-25

Frank Linn, Lyndon Funk and Max Sherrod, three members of the Alaska Soil Conservation Board, last week released for publication the district program of the Soil Conservation Service for Alaska. The three board members, in company with ad- visory committee members c. w. Peters, Frank Heintzleman, I. M. C. Anderson, Don Irwin, Loren T. Oldroyd and G. w. Gasser, have been working on the Alaskan program for the last several months.
 The published report, pro- duced in mimeographed form, outlines in brief the purpose of the Soil Conservation District, the problems to be faced within the Alaskan agricultural area, existing agricultural conditions alredy prevailing within Alas ka, and planned steps through which the solution of Alaska S farm problems will be attempt ed.
 The Alaska Soil Conservation Board includes the whole of the territory within it's boundaries. However the individual prob lems of the various agricultural areas will be attacked through local organization of Soil Con- servation Sub-Districts.

( of ofCCensus Reveals 57l Live In City

According to the most au- thoritative figures possible to get, there are now 571 people living within the municipal boundaries of Palmer, it was announced this week by Jack Maze, president -of the Valley Chamber of Com merce. MT. Maze estimates that this figure represents a popula- tion increase of All per cent since 1889.
 The census was undertaken to supply needed information to sev verdi government agencies which recently have queried the Valley Chamber of Commerce concerning the number of resi- dents here. The latest questions came from the Alaska Housing Authority, which also requested estimates as to increased home construction since 1889.
 Using the only figures obtain able, MT. Maze estimated that family dwelling units in this same area of Palmer have in- creased BIO per cent since 1889.

Increased Rail Rates
To Spur Capitalization
Of Metal Industry

CLEVELAND, Jan. 12.-The mag
azine Steel predicted today that
metal working companies distant
from steel-producing centers may
have greater difficulty in obtaining
steel because of the railroads 20 pei
cent freight increase.
TN the postwar sellers market
trend has been for producers to
withdraw from remote areas rather
than absorb freight charges" the
weekly publication asserted.
Steel said the trend would be
accentuated by the higher rates
and might presage considerable re-
vamping Of the steel distribution
pattern.
Eventually" the magazine added,
"the freight rate increase may mean
higher prices for both raw ma
terials and finished products"
The expected third round of

ask substantial advances to meet

adding:
Unions will follow their usual
pattern of asking for large in
crease, possibly Is or 80 cents an
hour, but will settle for considerably
less"
Steel said hat-rolled steel soon
may give way to ferrous castings
as the No. l bottleneck in the auto

that the shortage OF iron foundry
products was caused by the scarcity
Of cast scrap and the tightness Of
