CITY NOW SERVED
 BY 1925 HIGHWAY
 TILL REPAIRS MADE

Valdez was cut off from high way communication with other Alaskan cities this week, when the bridge over the Lowe River at Mile Seventeen on the Richard son Highway washed out. The. bridge was a temporary structure, erected when SnoWSlide wiped out the permanent bridge two years ago.
 The bridge went out in two sec tions. High water swept away the second span from that anchored to the roadbed. An Alaska Road Commission crew, called to repair damages, backed a truck out on the remaining span, to inspect the bridge when the weakened structure gave way.
 No crew members were injured but the track plunged into river water so deep that it is complete ly immersed.
 While the bridge is being re- paired, the abandoned road across the pass has been opened. At first, this road was thought to be too hazardous for heavy freight ing trucks, but an inspection by truckers and road engineers re- vealed that it could be put to temporary use.
 This abandoned road was con- structed in 1925, and was used until the present road was opened in 1946. ->::.
 However, neither is the earliest Valdez highway for the first trail out of Valdez was opened in 1906, when Valdez present banker, John Gilson, blazed canyon trail for pack horses. MT. Gilson, who came to Valdez direct from earth quake destroyed San Francisco. was an employe of s. Blum & Co.,, bankers and merchants, at the time he assisted in locating this first trail.
 In company with Jack Ingra- ham, later the first district engi- neer for the Alaska Road Com mission in Valdez, MT. Gilso.. blazed his pack-horse trail.
 The first real freight lines ts operate out of Valdez was the packing service operated by Ed s. Orr. Mr. Orr was first to give service on a mail, freight and pas senger contract. He made three round trips week over the old trail.
 Packhorses only were used in the summer. There were no sleds and the animals Waded or sWam into swift rivers that crossed their path. In the winter, sleds were the method of transportation. These conveyanceS, drawn by horses, sometimes carried 15 or 20 passengers. If the load grew too bulky for the sled, trailers were attached.
 Passengers stopped overnight at roadhouses, located at 10-mile in tervals along the trail. They sup piled all of their own warm cloth ing and blankets for the trip.
 Horses literally overran Valdez during these early freighting days in the 19O0s, old-time residents recall. The animals, 400 strong, roamed the city and grazed where they pleased. Garden minded residents built strong fences to protect their products.
 In those early heydays of the freight lines, two steamship lines

Kelly For The Council?

The Victory Committee of the county Democratic
Party which is headed by the Mayor of Rockville, G.
Lamar Kelly has asked party workers to recomend
nominees for county offices This follows the announced
policy of the National Democratic Party in getting the
participation of workers at the precinct level
Mr.. Kelly, in letter sent to $40 party workers,
states this is the first time that party slate of candi-
dates will be formed by truly Democratic process of
having the suggestions come from the voters them
selves"
We think the idea fine one-but deplore the short
time the committee gave workers to decide on whom
they will recommend For our part we strongly recon-
mend Mr. Kelly himself for one of the posts on the
County Council. He is engineer and a student of
potcs-he has proven himself tireess and persistent
worker-his ability to pull the strings" in the most
effective places has been demonstrated-he is both
persuasive and aggressve-when is necessary he does
pull his puncheswe believe his election to the Council
woul be beneficial not only to the town of Rockville but
to the county as whole We predict that many of the
lists submitted will carry the of Kelly"
Should the Republican incumbent, the popular
Thomas c. Kelley, decide to again. Kelly against
Kelley might make very interesting general election
in November.

Last Decade Brings Growth

While Montgomery County as whole has nearly
doubled its pouation since 1940 according to preliminary
census figures, hometown of Rockville has more
than triped its population. This is partly due to
alton in 1948 of surrounding territory to which it either
was giving city services or had been pettioned to do
From political standpoint the county's gain of
$50 1917 for total of 163829 is said to have no
immediate significance. The county already sends its
six delegates to the General Assembly the limit under
the present State Constitution.
In terms of elbow room, the census figures show
the county's 494 square miles filling up rapidly.

G'Burg Residents
Warned To Keep Weeds
On Property Cut Down

According to the Mayor of Cal
theirsburg, Harry c. Perry, ST.,
all property owners are liable to
be fined unless the weeds on their
property are cut. Mr.. Perry re-
minds the residents of the town
that the weeds are misquito
breeders, detract from the beauty
of the property, and in many
cases cut the view of the motor
lists entering the property.
Members of the town council
will inspect the property in the
town shortly, and those residents
who have tall weeds will receive
notice to cut them. If the order
is not obeyed, a fine will then be
imposed. This does not apply to
shrubbery or trees.

he Office of Alien Property has adj
ministrative power to validate late
claims from West Coast residents
against three Japanese banks vested
by the American government.
Several hundred claims for up
wards of 100000 yen, deposited
before the war with American
branches of the Yokohama Specie,

Phenomenal Growth OfP -TA'sm Japan
Told by Tokyo Visitor to Yakima

Mrs. Yamamoto was recent visi-
tor in the home of Mrs. Keith Jones
at Grandview. The two were fellow
students at Washington State college
which called Mrs. Yamamoto back
to receive a special certificate of &C
complishment at its graduation pro-
gram.
Teaching Women
Mrs Yamamoto was asked in Oct
ODER of 1948 to start a home extern
sion program. She was the sum total
Of the staff. This is only 1850 but
Mrs. Yamamoto is working out a
program that will. in few years, call
for 900 women workers busily en-
gagged teaching japanese women the
best of American home-making while
retaining the cultural advantages of
he Japanese artisans and artists.
A tiny woman, Mrs. Yamamoto
radiates enthusiasm and power
plus Mrs. Triplett described.
Tn my country" Mrs. Yamamoto
explained. there are two kinds of
men. The first kind considers that
when a woman starts any enterprise
'he must begin at the very bottom
and work upward very slowly and
through many years. The other kind
also believes that women should
start at the bottom but that they
can never work upward and should
STAY at the bottom.
Believes in Beauty
Mrs. Yamamoto is firm believer
n the value of beauty but also wants
efficiency. AS an example of what
he means. she is conducting a quiet
campaign against the wasteful XII
mono except as a ceremonial dress
II is. she tells the women, diff
cult to really work while wearing
japanese kimono and, from the
goods used in one kimono one can
easily make seven other articles of
clothing. The 'kimono exhibit" and
the articles to be made from it,
form a real economy sermon.
One of Mrs. Yamamoto's camp
igns was against the Japanese hab-
it of rolling all bedding up the in
slant one stepped from the floor
couch and placing it in an air tight
box She issued a clever booklet to
show how warm and comfortable
he disease demons were under such
circumstances and now japanese
housewives air their bedding before
putting it away.
Mrs. Yamamotos husband is a
sculptor and keenly interested in his
Wifes projects.
