Features and Prizes
Added 10 Fair List

New features and attractive
prizes continue to be added to
the growing list for the 1858 Ma
tanuska Valley Fair.
This week Alba Brooks, fair
board president, announced there
will be a special attraction, feat
uring original colonists of the
Valley. Pat Hemmer was granted
permission of the board to erect
a replica of original tent-housing
used during the early colonization
days. This tent will be located
just inside the front entrance and
will serve as registration center.
A designated Fair date will be
announced shortly, Brooks said,
to commemorate the colonization
of the Valley. For the first time
in several years, no SAebration
was held this year for Colony or
Settlers Day. Instead it was de-
cided to concert efforts during the
fair. The tent will help convey the
early Colony day spirit.
Valuable cash and merchandise
awards have been arranged for
through the Coop and Stateside
companies. The Charles Lilly
company of Seattle will give a $50
cash award to the entrant having
the largest variety of vegetable
entries. Goodyear will donate one

Lake George Splitting
Out In EorIy Breakup

Spectacular Lake George is
spilling it's waters into the
Knik River earlier han usu-
al this year. Alaska's famous
self-dumping lake started its
annual break-through this
past week end, sending the
Knik river water out from
bank to bank and causing
it to rise many feet above
the usual level.
Although the road is pass
able, the Alaska Road Com
mission reported this morn
ing that there was water on
the Glenn Highway in the
Mile 80 area for disance
of about 100 feet, six or more
inches deep. The water ap-
pears to be receding from the
area, they said, with no ap-
parent damage to the road.
Last year the lake broke
through its barrier on Au-
gust II.

HEALTH COUNCIL
REQUEST FREE PHONE

Mrs. Minnie Clark, represent
ing the Matanuska Valley Health
Council, appeared before the
city council at the July 81 meet
ing to request the free use of
the telephone in the health coun-
ell office. I'VE are at present
faced with $500 shortage in our
budget and have no money to pay
this BILL" she told Mayor Hagen
and council members. In the
past there had never been any
charge made for this telephone.
Mayor Alfred V. Hagen refer
red the matter to the telephone
committee for a recommendation
and explained to Mrs. Clark that
the telephone system had been
running in arrears for quite some
time. In an effort to plug all loop
holes, he said, we billed the
health council along with others
in the same circumstances, in an
attempt to get on a better finan-
cial basis. The telephone commit
tee will make their recommended
ton at the next meeting on July
%.

SPRAYING WORK
Believed effective
IN INSECT CONTROL

Early on the morning of July
Is, Clyde Snyder, under the di-
rection of Jim Wilson, Commits
sioner of Agriculture, completed
the .Aldrin spraying in the Butte
area, planned for the control of
grasshoppers.
The spraying, done by air, has
apparently controlled the spread
and increase of the grasshoppers,
Wilson said. Ground inspections
showed a high percentage of kill.
Spraying by air is probably the
best way to control Them" Will
son said. The Aldrin is still eff
fecting the area.
Costs of the spraying work will
be borne jointly by the Depart
ment of Agriculture, ARC and
several farmers living in the But
tie area, including C. L. Dreg-
horn, I. M. Sandvik, DR.. Lee Nc
Kinley, c. P. King and Paul Mel
son. Completed results will be
reported at a later date, Wilson
said this week.

ECHO Lake PLANTED
WITH RAINBOW FRY

Over 5000 rainbow trout fry
were planted in Echo Lake, a few
miles south of Palmer, on Tues
day of last week by Alex McRae
of the Department of Fisheries.
The fry were shipped by air
rom the Fairbanks hatchery to
Anchorage and from there trans
ported to the Valley in a large
galvanized can. During shipment
from Fairbanks approximately
rs fish died when an aerating
inc in one section of the ship
ment tank faileo to work. McRae
described the four-unit transpor-
tation tank as being five feet
ong, and about one foot square.
Each section is aerated by a
motor, run off a battery. This
was the first shipment loss ex-
parienced this year.
To illustrate the size of the
fry, the 5000 rainbow's total
weight SoiiiC W OOI lOQI pOu1lOS.
In two years time that weight
will be doubled many times, de-
pending on the rate of survival.
Anyway, it would appear that
there will be lots of good fishing
in Echo Lake in the future. Adj
ditional fry will be added to the
lake this year to bring the total
plant to approximately 5000.
Although the fry were re-
leased in one area at the lake,
within a few days time they
will have spread out over the
entire lake, McRae said. Spot
checks will be made periodically,
although he said that within a
year it will be difficult to know
what the survival rate will be-
When the fish are full grown and
the lake opened for fishing, re-
suits will be known, he added.
If we get from so to 70 per-
cent survival, we will consider
it successful. Survival will de-
pend more or less on several eff
fects including this particular
plant and survival conditions
The lake was cleaned about a
month ago and a toxicity test
conducted before the fish fry
were planted.

Street Survey Work
Starts in CITY

Street survey work was started
in Palmer this week by Charles
Tryk, engineer and Brad Shaw,
party chief, on those streets
where the city water distribution
system will be installed.
The pipe line will be buried
eight feet below the surface. By
establishing grades before the
pipe is installed, filling and cut
ting down work can be done at
the same time, making it un-
necessary to disturb the pipe
line at future date.
Some discussion was given to
the subject of the city hiring
maintenance man for the water
system at the July 81 council
meeting. Don McKechnie of the
water committee pointed out
that work should be started with
in a short time. Connections from
the city system to the user will
be made by the city. One appli-
cation for the position has been
received Mayor Hagen announced
Work on the distribution
system was started last week,
according to George Lilly, con-
tractor. The water distribution
contract covers only the construc-
ton of the supply line, distri-
button lines and the required SER
vice connections up to the pro-
perty lines. Upon completion of
a given section it will be steril-
lied and the city allowed to use
it.
Water users lines must meet
city specifications before tying
onto the new system. Applica-
tons for tie-ons must be made
at the office of the City Clerk,
the same policy followed upon
the installation of any other utili-
ty. Installation fees, not yet es-
tablished, will be charged on the
first billing, with all billing to
be done from the clerks office
the first of each month.
Water rates were established
at six dollars per month for
home users and $15.75 for bust
ness establishments. Meter rates
will be established from these
monthly rates, following meter
