Freight Shed
 Soon To Be Constructed

Bids for the construction of Palmer's long waited new freight shed and renovations to existing warehouse space in the depot of The Alaska Railroad were opened last week. They close at 2 o'clock next Wednes- day and work will begin as soon as the contract is signed.
 The contract requires that the work be finished 90 days after it's date of signing. A railroad spokesman estimated that all construction would be finished by the first of the year. It is planned to rush necessary out door work, while weather still is fair. Interior work will be left until the last, so that workmen may complete it after it is too cold to work on the exterior.
 Plans call for an addition to the present freight house and for changes to the interior of the present office. The office will be enlarged by 128 square feet, and 54-foot addition to the freight house will expand it's capacity to 31O0 square feet.
 Five new overhead roll-up doors will be installed in the freight house. A truck loading dock is to be built at the north end of the structure and public restrooms will be installed in the south end of the new addition. An extension to the exterior plat form also is planned.
 In the renovation of the freight house, new warm storage room will be created, 38O square feet in size.
 All work will be conducted without closing the freight house or office, the railroad spokesman stated. Business is to continue "as usuaP' during the entire re- modelling and new construction.
 Complete specifications on the planned new construction may be secured from Room 21O, Gen. eral Office Building, Anchorage.
 Original plans for the construc- tlon of a fire hall in which to house the railroad-loaned fire truck, with an upstairs dormitory for railroad men stationed in Palmer, have been abandoned.
 No further information is avail able at this time on the construc- tion of the wye at Palmer. This work originally was scheduled to begin early in June, but bids have not yet been opened on this job.

Soil Men
 Start Work At Dunbar

Members of the force of the Palmer soil conservation district, who are working in cooperation with other branches of the gov ernment to prepare for new colo nization projects in Alaska, left for Dunbar Monday. James Hur- ley, John Thomson, Henry Fox and Rudy Mayko are at work on a survey there, which will deter mine the agricultural fitness of the land.
 The land-use capability study will be conducted at both Dunbar and Kenai this summer. It is 3 part of the governments effort to settle Colonists only on land suited for agricultural produc- tion. A number of auxiliary stu dies of economic and market fac tors are under way in the Valley now, in order that the new colo nists may avoid some of the pit falls which have slowed the pro- gress of the Matanuska colony.
 The soil scientists of the Pal mer soil district work u n r Charles Wilson, territorial con- serVationist, but have been loan ed to the Bureau of Land Man agement to conduct this survey. They will attempt to conclude enough of their work in both the Dunbar and Kenai areas, to fur nish them with material for study all winter. It is expected that large crew of survey men will be sent north to complete the job next summer.
 The men expect to be finished with 10 miles of the Dunbar area by the middle of the month, MT. Wilson said. They then will go to the Kenai district for the re- mainder of the working season.
 The Dunbar area is much the smaller of the two sites selected for future colonization. It con- tains only 32,437 acres, while the Kenai location stretches from a point 24 miles east of Kenai to a location six miles south of kasilof. It contains 16O.794 acres. , Although the Kenai-Ka silof area has recently been with drawn from homestead filing. the claims of earlier homestead CTS already are dotted along the area through which the new high way cuts. They cluster thickest along the road sections which are oldest, thinning down to almost none in the areas where the road has not yet reached.
 However, because of the num- Der of homesteaders already in sthe area, it is the conjecture that any program of government aid for colonists also would be ex- tended to the earlier settlers. The failure to do this in the Matanus- ka Valley has been pointed out as one of the major weak spots Of the first colonization plan.
 All branches of the govern rnent are cooperating in this la- test venture. Palmer districts soil scientists are transported and supplied by branches of the Army. The colonization project. when it is inaugurated, will be the joint responsibility of the De- partment of Agriculture and the Department of the Interior.

they arrived safe home and
that Mrs. Bird has recovered

Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert Brack-

George and Will, in Texas and
Albuquerque, returned to the

their home in Victoria, British
Columbia.
The lots, which the Branch
has purchased, are all grad

and it is hoped that the archi-
tect will have the plans ready
this week. Rain is badly need

very grateful that since New

Remains of Ermil Brewer Are
On Ship Coming
From Italy

The body Of Cpl. Ermil V. Red
Brewer, "a, son of C. ID. Brewer,
$40 East Third street, is among
those being returned from Italy
aboard the U. S. Army Transport
Carroll Victory for burial in Port
Clinton.
Brewer was fatally injured July
rs, 1943, in Sicily, and passed
away two days later. He had pre-
viously been slightly wounded
while serving in Tunisia in April
1943.
Born in Athens, Ohio, January
2, 1909, Brewer had lived in Port
Clinton since 1924. He was a grad
uate of the local high school, hav-
ing been a popular football, bask-
etball, track and baseball star.
Brewer was sent overseas in
August, 1912, and had been sta
toned in England, Scotland and
North Africa with the 1st infantry
division.
He was posthumously awarded
the Purple Heart and Silver Star
medal awards. Major General
Huebner signed the Silver Star
citation, which read as follows:
"For gallantry in action. Cor
poral Brewer proceeded across a
terrain under constant mortar and
small-arms fire and reconnoitered
a favorable position for his mach
inc gun. He personally carried,
set up, and operated this weapon
and protected his company's flank
until reinforcements could arrive.
Although mortally wounded in this
action, Corporal Brewers gallant
action enabled his company to
maintain it's position.
