Among the 50 seeking nomina- ton for seats in the Territorial Legislature in the Territorial prl- mary election Tuesday. April %, are four from the Valley.
 Running on the Republican ticket for nomination to the House is M. D. Snodgrass. pioneer Alaska agriculturist. Born in In diana he came to Alaska in 1907 after graduating from Kansas College with the bachelor of science degree. For 10 years, until 1917 he operated the U. s. EX- perimental Livestock Station at Kodiak. After that he was assign ed to the Fairbanks Experiment Station, where he inaugurated wheat growing in the Panama Valley and helped organize the first flour milling association in Alaska. In 1923, he served short term in the Legislature as Fourth Division senator. He authored bill for industrial and agricultur- al fairs in the Territory.
 In the fall of 1923 he came to the Matanuska Experiment Sta ton as senior agronomist in charge. In 1929 he was loaned to the Alaska Railroad, Department of Interior, as agriculture devel- opment agent. During the next five years he was instrumental in bringing 100 prospective set tiers to the Railbelt. Sandwiched in between his years of govern nent service have been several years of farming for himself in the Panama and Matanuska Val ley. :.
 Since his retirement from Civil Service in 1894, Snodgrass has been active in the real estate business in the Valley, and has interested himself in community activities, particularly in the Ma tanuska Valley Fair Association and the Northland Pioneer Gran ge.
 Main interests of Snodgrass are the agricultural development of Alaska, vocational education Tn the schools, and the establishment of University of Alaska branch school of agriculture in Palmer, the center of farming develop ment and the center of schoo! population for the Territory.
 Betty Mears (Mrs. Lester), well known Palmer businessWoman and mother of two teen-age chll- dren, is seeking a House seat on the Democratic ticket.
 Before coming to Alaska ID l947. she attended the University of Nevada where she majored in Journalism and education.
 Upon opening her women's and children's ready-to-Wear shop Tn Palmer, she became very active in community affairs. Her best work has been done in the Cham Der of Commerce, where she has worked consistently for the de- velopment of Palmer and the Ma tanuska Valley through adver- tisement of its business, indus trial, and tourist potentialities. She is on the board of directors of the C of C and has also served as secretary for three years. Last fall she was appointed to Pal mer's first City Planning Com mission. She was also chairman of this years March of Dimes campaign for the Valley.
 Mrs. Mears has pledged that she will work for a comprehensive school and construction program ; new access roads for homestead ing. mining, and fishing, includ- ing a highway connecting Cor doya and Seldovia to the Terri torial road system; no increased taxes; increased appropriations for schools; a youth vocational guidance program; development of Alaska's natural resources and industries; and a fair employment practices act,

 He came to the Valley from the state of Washington in 1899 to be general manager of the MVFCA, a post he held until l945 when he went into business for himself as owner of a local cafe and as a farmer.

 Since coming to the Valley, he has taken keen interest in the local school and has served as a very effective link between the Valley and Anchorage C of Cs.
 In two speeches to the local Republican Club, he has stressed the need for Legislator permitting the employ of qualified dental hygienists to save on the dentist s time and the patients dollar. He is also interested increasing the educational opportunities f O r Alaskan children.

 Olaf \. Olson. Anchorage Re. publican who describes himseli as one of Anchorage's largest in dividual real estate tax payers, has lived in the Third Division for 20 years.
 Formerly a county auditor in his home state of North Dakota. Olson said that present revenues from taxation for Territorial pur- poses. if handled in a business like manner, would he adequate" He IS opposed to socialistic or bureaucratic forms of govern ment whether Territorial or na- tional and feels that all Territorl- al executive officials should be elected.
 Olson worked for the Alaska Railroad for five years. resigning as personnel officer in l946 to en- ter private business. He is member of the Masons, Shrine. and Elks.
 Another Democrat running fol the Territorial House is James H. Clemens of Anchorage, who spent four and one-half years in the Army Engineers and served III the Aleutian campaign. After his discharge in 1945, ne settled in Naknek, where he help ed oranize the Civic Club and a flying club, and edited the Nak- nek Bulletin.
 Clemans would work for a re- vision of election laws to allow outpost dWellers to vote. Be cause their group is too small to qualify for a precinct and mail is too infrequent for voting by absentee ballot, he says, these people are now denied that priv ilege.
 He proposes a law which would allow small communities to in- corporate and work for many things they need. Present law re- stricts incorporation to second class or first-class cities, and the public utility district set-up is "too restricted" Clemans said. He also favors a revision and clarification of the property tax act with an assessment policy as- surfing fairness in distributing the tax burden.
 Fred Olivera. Democratic can- didate for the Territorial House, has resided in Anchorage for the past three years. He is manager and owner of Alaska Contractors and owns the Olivera building in Spenard.
 Olivera feels that the primary issue at stake is statehood, which would, he believes. stimulate growth in population and indus try" He advocates setting up a liquor control board to limit the number of liquor establishments on a per capita basis. He also ens dorses a recreation program to go hand and hand with the schools needed to keep pace with the population. Other items he supports are improved highways and tourist facilities, action NOW on fishtraps, and more personnel in the law enforcement agencies | in Alaska.
 Anchorage Attorney Buell. "A. Nesbett is another Democratic candidate for the House. A com mander in the US. Navy during World War II, he is the father of four children and served five years as a city judge. He is for statehood and better schools and is against fish traps.

IN MEMORY

In loving memory of Lee and
Cecil Mincks who passed away
one year ago, Feb. 3, 1851.
One year ago today,
My two brothers passed away
After leaving their home on
Friday morn,
They leave all their loved ones
to mourn.
Their names were Cecil and
Lee,
And they both meant all the
world to me,
Now all we can do is hope and
pray,
To meet them in a better land
someday.
Everyone knows who has lost
as we have,
That we all have to be big
and brave,
They didn't know they'd never
return,
They left us behind with
hearts that yearn.
God saw the hill was getting
steep,
And very hard to climb,
So he took them both away,
And left us all behind.
To bear our awful loss,
Is very hard to bear,
But up in Heaven around the
throne
We hope to meet them there.
Sadly missed by:
Parents, Brothers and Sisters
Written and dedicated by their
sister, Enid Fisher.
