and Sweden.
"A potential population density.
midway between that of Norway
and Sweden, would result in a po-
tential Alaska population of more
than 100000 persons.
"By this reasoning, It is not I'M
likely that Alaska ultimately will
have 100000 people"
The report said Alaska can
never hope to be entirely self suf-
ficient in food production. 1t add
ed:
with "a population of 100000
to 100000 however, it would be
highly desirable to balanced
economy to have 100000 to 90
100000 acres of land in agricul-
tural production.
The commissioner of agricul-
ture of Alaska states that agricul-
tural land suitable for develop
1ent is approximately 100000
acres.
Ample loW-cost power is a
prerequisite to the development of
4 mature and balanced economy.
Fo~t unately, Alaska river systems
could produce more than 50,000,-
600, 900 kilOWatt-hourS of energy
a year.
This much power would give
100000 people more than twice
that now available to each person
in the States" E.
individuals can reclaim small
areas within their abilities and fl
nancial backing, but for agricul-
ture 70 expand in Alaska-even to
meet the present needS-Will re-
quire aid by the federal govern
ment both in know-how and fl
uancial support.
Reclamation, to be paid for
from the production of the lands,
can best be accomplished by an
extension of the basic reclamation
laws. provided that for Alaska
these laws are broadened to in
clude land clearing and reclama-
ton by drainage.
The report proposed that the
surveys be started i'm
-ncd.ately:
l. Irrigation prospects in the
Fairbanks-Du Cinema and the
Anchorage Spenard
districts.
2. Municipal water supplies for
the Fairbanks area, Anchorage,
Cordova and other Alaskan COM
munities. "In Fairbanks we'll wa
ter supply is contaminated by
cesspools," the report said. "Epi-
denies are imminent and improve
ments are critically needed"
3. Resources of the Big Susitna
river basin.
4. Possibilities of transmountain
diversion of water from the Lewes
River, Yukon, drainage basin in
Canada, with its chain of lakes, to
the Taiya river outlet 10 miles
north of SkagWay.
4. Other potential power sites in
Southeast where pulp industries
are investigating the possibilities
Of establishing pulp mills.
This action program would help
bring at least $4,000 acres of new
land into agricultural production,
the report said.

of the state.

of the state.
i Two spokesman for the state
highway department were present.
George Shearer, district engineer
from Vancouver said the develop
ment asked for was fully justified
but neglected. Earl simpson, as
sistant engineer from the Olympia
office of the department, repre-
scented the director O. r. Dins-
more. Simpson reviewed the his
tory of the road, variously known
as the Columbia River highway,
/, the North Bank highway, and now
| as the Evergreen highway. He also
spoke in favor of the early COM
pletion of the entire route.
All three legislators from the
10th district, in which most of
! the route lies were present. Rep.
C.. c. Miller pointed out that much
more rapid progress would be POS
sible On this as well as other
highway programs since the legi-
stature passed the increased gas
tax and adopted the fifteen year
program of which this road is a
part. Sen. Stanton Gamblers point
ed out from personal experience
the necessity of getting the route
established as a connecting link
from east to west. Rep. o. H.
Olson stressed the need of re-
vising the old methods of seeking
justification for roads. Progress
was made at the last session he
felt, in getting the legislators to
abandon the old method of basing
appropriations On traffic counts
and substituting a realistic APP
proach on the basis of need in
development.
Clarence B. Shain, former high
way director and now city engln-
eer Of Pasco, emphasized three
requirements for full develop
ment of the resources of any
country, these being an intelIi-
gent population, unlimited elec-
trio power, and adequate trans
portation. This area has these
potentialities if only we develop
them, was his claim. Added recog-
milton and development of the
ports of Vancouver, Kelso and
Longview are necessary for this
road, said Mr.. Shain and other
speakers.
Individual association member
ships will be sold at 81 each.
Chambers or organizations will
pay $40 per year. Each community
Will be entitled to one member
on the board Of directors and an
additional one for each 10000
population, but no city may have
more than three.

Norma Lee
!. COUNSELOR !.
Dear Mrs. Lee.

| Dear Mrs. Lee, .-...-
What can be done about the
people who hit animals and
leave them on the street to be
flattened out and make mess
for others to clean up? We live
on KenneWick Ave. and cars are
always hitting dogs and cats and
just leaving them lying there.
Isn't there some law about taking
care of what you hit?
/ Animal Lover
Dear Animal Lover,
The law says you are not sup
posed to hit them. But some
times it is impossible as they
dart out in front Of the unsuspec-
ting motorist and he is unable
to avoid hitting them.
But when one is unfortunate
enough to hit an animal one
should have respect enough for the
owners feelings, if not for the
animal, to remove it from the
street SO that it can't be removed.
the animal and it is hard enouv1
to lose something you love with
out having it flattened into the
street os that it can't be removed
Also it makes every other
driver who passes that spot feel
bad about having to witness the
mess.
It might be well to remind
people that the state of Washing
tom has large fine privilege
where animals are hit and the
driver continues on. He can be
prosecuted under the hit-and-run
act. There is also $4,000 reward
posted by the Washington Humane
society for the apprehension and
arrest of hit-and-run drivers that
leave injured animals along the
road.
The best solution of course is
for the owners to keep their
animals off the street in the first
place. The animals deserve pro-
lection. Barring that, then motor.
lists should be careful, for some-
time it may not be a dog that
darts out from between parked
cars, but a little child, the effect
is the same, the penalty greater.
