Damages About
 $l,O00 al Aafanuska Expf. Station Fire

A fire at the Matanuska Ex- pertinent Stations dairyman's cottage last Thursday about 8:3O pm. resulted in about $1,0OO damages, according to an esti- mate made by Ivan Branton, agricultural engineer.
 The fire broke out in the chinl- ney flue and its prompt discovery by residents at the Station prob- ably prevented the complete de- struction of the dwelling. They had their hoses already at work when the Palmer Fire Depart ment arrived and helped to get at the source of the fire. Most of the damage was caused in getting at the smouldering areas. The as- phalt shingled roof was not dam aged, but some of the rafters SUD- porting it may have to be re- placed as will downstairs walls in the kitchen and living room and part of a gable.
 The origin of the fire was un- known. The chimney, although defective at the point of entry into the flu, had served through out the winter. Oddly, the fire followed few hours after the William Hoskins family had mov- ed most of their belongings from the house. They had moved 10 their own farm home, since Hos kins recently resigned the posi- tion he had held at the Station for the past six years. Mrs. Hos kins had left about 3:30 pm. Mrs. Linnus DePriest, who was to move into the house with her husband next day, had taken some things to their new home about 2 pm. There was no sign of a fire then.

D. OF ALASKA HON0RS ANDREW NERLAND AT COMMENCE

Fairbanks Andrew Nerland, president of the Board of Regents and grand old man of Alaskan education" was honored at the University of Alaska Commence ment ceremonies Monday when President Ferris Moore conferred an honorary degree on him.
 Nerland, who is now 82 years of age, has been actively associat- ed with the University for over 30 years. Back in 1915 federal land grant and yearly appropria- ton of $50,000 established what then was known as the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines. Nerland was a member of this group which selected the site at College. Elected to the Territorial Legislature, he was instrumental in getting appropria- tions for the first buildings on the campus.
 In recognition of his active in- terest in the school, he was ap- pointed to the Board of Regents in 1927 by Governor George Parks. In 1884 he became presi- dent of the board, a position he has held ever since.

SCS AND BUREAU COOPERATE ON SNOW SURVEYS

The use of snow surveys to forecast power production from yearly run-offs is being used this year for the first time in Alaska in connection with the Eklutna Power Project.
 The Soil Conservation Service and the Bureau of Reclamation are continuing their cooperation on snow surveys in the Eklutna Basin. Already two trips have been made this year up to select ed areas and the depth of snow measured. One more trip will be made before the season is over. George Woodruff and Tom Day from the SCS Territorial office at Pamer made the initial trip during the first part of April. Will Reedy, hydrologist, with the Bur- eau of Reclamation in Juneau, ac- companied them on their May first trip.
 Unless the snow melt is unusu- ally slow the third trip will be done the easy Way-by airplane ito see if the snow courses are bare of snow. But if this air plane check shows snow to be still there a ground measurement will have to be made again. This will mean another long, uphill hike to complete the seasons records.
 The purpose of these Alaskan snow surveys is to help in the forecasting of how much water will flow into Eklutna Lake each year. With this information estimates can be made of the power that can be produced dur ing a given year. It has already been determined how much power can be produced during an average season and also how much variation can be expected from one season to another. How ever, it is hoped that these snow surveys will make it possible to forecast power production several months ahead.
 The snow program is under the direction of the Division of Irri- gation of the Soil Conservation Service which has been conduct ing snow surveys in the western states for many years. It has had great success in forecasting year

Famed SoPruno Murif0 Farrell Muy Teach Voice in Palmer

Word has been received here that the distinguished Metropol- ltan Opera soprano, Marita Farrell, will reserve one day for Palmer during her current stay in the Territory if there is a sufficient number of interested voice pupils in the Valley.
 Ray Nelson, who went to An chorage yesterday to sign up for lessons, sounded out Miss Farrell on the possibilit yof her coming to Palmer to give lessons. To his surprise, she appeared delighted with the possibility. She offered to bring her own accompanist with her to Palmer once a week if minimum of five pupils de- sired lessons. The charges re- ported by Nelson were exception ally low for a teacher of such wide musical experience. Inter- ested persons may get in touch with Nelson or Miss Farrell.
 Miss Farrell has been the guest artist for Anchorage's Arctic Summeretta" the past few years. While assisting in the commun- ity production featured during the annual program, she has also made herself available as teach CT to singers who wish profes- sional training.
 Miss Farrell returns to Anch- orage each year because she con- siders it now her second home. She plans to remain in the Ter ritory this year about six months.

BOSTON. July 3.-Red SoS
Manager Lou Boudreau was quot
ed today by Ed Costello, Herald
sports editor, as saying he was
forced to send Jim Piersall to the
minors after hearing that the
talkative rookie had spanked Vern
Stephens 4-year-old son in the
clubhouse last Friday night.
PierSall was sent to the Birm-
ingham Barons the following
morning.
Costello quoted Boudreau as
follows:
when I heard Saturday morn
ing about the Piersall incident
with Stevie's son Friday night, ]
knew that to prevent serious in
cident that might involve Stevie
and Piersall, it was best to send
Jim away.
II couldn't announce why I was
sending Piersall down to Birming-
ham for obvious reasons, but his
action Friday night was the cul-
mination of a series of incidents
that forced me to drop him from
our club"
Costello quoted Piersall as say
ing in a telephone conversation
from New Orleans. where the
Barons played last night:
During the game I did go into
the clubhouse and Vern's boy, q
cute kid, was there. I started
fooling with him and I guess
gave him little spank on the
seat of his pants that was a little
too hard because he started tt
cry.
