The Blue Rock Mine
Crash

Buried for fourteen days and
eleven hours after the 200-foot
mountain crashed into Blue Rock
mine, Harrison township, Muskingum
County, the last of four trapped
miners was hauled out into the
moonlight at II p. m, Friday, May
9, 1856.
Artificial respiration and medical
care soon had them all breathing and
it was but a matter of hours before
apparently the miners were "as good
as ever"
The point where the four men
were found was away from the mine
entrance and it had been necessary
for rescuers to burrow through more
than 400 feet of earth and rock be-
fore they were reached.
When the disaster came, a check
of the 20 miners who usually worked
in the mine revealed that James
(Duck) Menear, John Hopper, James
Harrison, George Ross, George Robin
son, William Edgell, Sr., Uriah Me-
Gee, William Gheen, Timothy Lyons,
G. W. Simmons, Patrick Savage,
Hiram Larrison, Franklin Ross, Will
liam Miller, James Savage and
Thomas Edgell not yet had gone in
to the mine and were safe. The
latter six were boys.
That left William Edgell Jr., 20;
James Pearson, 81; James Gatewood
p, and Edward Savage, 16, un-
accounted for.
That was the mine operators
story. William Edgell Sr. gave a
different account.

A. W. Pierson Gets First Caribou

First hunter of the 1949 sea- son to bring in concrete proof of his marksmanship was A. w. Pierson. MT. Pierson bagged a somewhat skinny specimen of caribou early this week. His kill weighed in at just 110 pounds on the scales of Palmer Cold Stor- age.
 Four caribou carcasses entered the freezing compartments of Harry Ryan's Cold Storage on Monday of this week. The suc- cessful hunters included, in ad- dition to MT. PierSon, the Ray Grasser party, which shot two, and Buddy Liebing.
 The best of the early kills fell to the Grasser party, which brought in one 275-pound ani- nal.
 MT. Ryan reported, that judg- ing from Mondays results, the caribou are in average condition this Season-'The small ones are poor and the big ones are fat" he stated.
 The outlook for the majority of Valley hunters is not too good. Many hunters find their animal so far from access roads that they refuse to shoot. One local farmer reported that he saw several fine animals, but all so far back that he returned home without firing a shot.

Airship Pines
 For Home Field

The new four-place Bellanca plane of Gil Anthony last week end displayed an unexpected streak of homing pigeon in it's makeup. Landed on the runway at Anchorage's Merrill Field to pick up passenger, the ship felt the tugging breezes of it's Valley home flowing across it's red wings, and promptly answered that tug - without the guiding hand of MT. Anthony at the con- trols. However, a combination of a flying tackle and several wres- ting holds held the ship to the runway, until MT. Anthony was settled in his seat behind the throttle again. Mir. Anthony now losses out an anchor whenever he parks the Bellanca, in the hope of discouraging the homing pigeon strain.

Assessor FinoIIy Named For Third Division

George Taylor, former An chorage resident, has been named tax assessor for the Third Judicial Division of Alaska, it was learned here recently. MT. Taylor's somewhat belated ap- pointment has delayed the tax assessing work in the Division, but the job is now getting under way.
 M. P. Mullaney, territorial tax commissioner, is expected to be in Anchorage this week, to assist Mir, Taylor in getting the work in gear. Tax forms, by means of which Alaska residents are ex- pected to assess their own prop erty, will be mailed to all prop erty holders.
 These forms, now in the mails, are expected to begin arriving in the Valley in the very near future.

Radio Cab Co. Will Operate
 In The Valley

A new cab company, the Radio Cab of Palmer, began operation here early this week. Owned by Edward Thwaits of Anchorage, and an affiliate of Hy's Cab there, the cabs operate from headquarters at the Shamrock Lounge.
 Although preparations are not entirely complete, the cabs have been on the stand there since Monday. It is planned, according to MT. ThWaits, to install a dozen or IS call boxes at strategic points throughout Palmer, from which patrons may put through a direct call for a cab. These call boxes are expected to be ready for use by Sept. l.
 Lady cab drivers will operate the vehicles of Rabio Cab. We emphasize quick. courteous serv- ice in our business, Mir. ThWaits asserted. We plan to give Pal mer and the Valley a really good cab service"
 Later it is planned to operate a light delivery and transfer service in connection with the cabs. Both businesses will be op- erated on a 24-hour basis.

Lake George, On The Wone, Sets No Records

It's all over for another year. Lake George had disgorged its waters, and the level of Knik River was slowly receding at press time. High-Water mark this year was a measured 16 feet, three inches from the guard-rail of Knik Bridge, as compared to a 30 foot, eight inch level before the waters began to swell. This measurement is a good nine inches from a record high, according to Clyde King. ST.
 Prosaic is the word which best describes this years event. The waters took a day longer than usual to rise, and they brought nothing unusual in the way of jams or drifts at the bridges across the river. This is the first year, since I've been here, that we haven't had to dynamite drift trees" Mir. King reported.
 However, uneventful though the phenomenon might have been, there were almost 1000 motorists day who thought the spectacle was worth drive across the Knik Bridge. MT. King stated that there were just three cars a day short of the 1000 mark, during the Seven-day spill period.
 He conceded that hunting sea- son, good weather and general construction traffic might have had something to do with that total, too. And it's not so high anyway, he added. A similar count taken on the Spenard-A An chorage highway in late August, when there was no special event to swell traffic, clocked 5000 cars day travelling that road.

GROUP VISITS PALMER ON TOUR OF TERRITORY

A team of doctors, including pr. Winfred Overholser, Dr. Dale c. Cameron, Dr. James Googe and pr. c. Earl Albrecht, accom- panied by M. w. Goding of the Alaska branch of the Depart ment of the Interior, visited Pal mer last Sunday. The medical men and Mir. Goding are touring Alaska to study the mental health needs of the territory.
 pr. Albrecht explained that their tour had three-fold pur- pose: CD to investigate the es- tabliShment of an educational program for the prevention of mental illness, possibly through the establishment of three men, tai health clinics; @ to deter mine if there is need for the es- tabliShment of diagnostic and treatment centers; (3) to investi- gate present mental hospital care, including methods of com mitment.
 It was explained that the group also is Investigating the need for and feasibility of construction of a mental hospital in Alaska. Dr. Albrecht said that 98 per cent of the patients at MorningSide Hospital in Oregon are Alaskans. AlaSkanS now are committed there through a contract nego- tiated by the Department of the Interior, which expires in 1853.
 pr. Albrecht emphasized that the medical team could do no more than investigate mental needs of the territory, and later make recommendations concern ing construction of a mental in Stitution in Alaska and concern ing better methods for commit ment.
 The group met at luncheon With members of the Chamber of Commerce, who were invited to express their opinions. A num- Der of local men spoke of the need for a mental institution in Alaska, and the Valley was ad- vanced as the most practical site for such an institution, in view of it's central location in the territory, and it's accessibility.
 pr. Albrecht pointed out that it was still too early to discuss possible sites for an institution, which Congress has not yet de- cided to build. A bill has been introduced by Delegate E. L. Bartlett, calling for the con- struction of a mental hospital in Alaska, but it has not yet re- ceived committee action.

Banana
ChiffOnCake

Remember how your family
went for that last chiffon cake you
made? You'll give them an even

new banana cream chiffon cake,
the latest variation of the original
chiffon cake.
Few people can resist bananas
or whipped cream, and when you
combine them with a tender,
moist. fresh banana favored chif-
fon cake, you'll have a delicious
dessert fit for the most festive
occasion. Made with cake flour
and the mystery ingredient of
salad or cooking oil, it's light as
angel food, yet rich as butter
