FIRST Building, 1892
The first building at this To-
cation was erected in 1882 and
the Church was formally orga-
nized the following year. Growth
in membership as the result Of
stirring revivals required a larg-
er building, completed in 1889.
The present building. erected in
1908, has been a landmark for
these So years.
Through all these years the
FarmV.lle Methodist Church has
served the spiritual needs of the
town and the surrounding coun-
try. A close relationship with the
neighboring schools has always
been maintained. The leadership
Of the Church has been felt in
many Conference activities as
well.
Here. 50 near to the heart of
the Old Dominion, our Church
has been an exponent Of the
highest and hottest aspirations of
our people. We rejoice in our
improved facilities only because
a larger opportunity of service
is offered. OF the whole past we
may say: Truly. the Lord was

TuN D RA TIM E S
C0NSERvATI0NIST OFFERS REBUTTAL TO ATTACKS BY RANlPART HACKERS

Editors note: Early in September a group of prominent Alaska busi- nessmen and politicians gathered in Mckinley National Park to map strategy for selling" the idea of Rampant Dam on the Yukon River to the nation.
 The Tundra Times covered that meeting and our last issue reported the speeches of Sen. Ernest Gruen- ing and his subordinate, George Sundborg, who lashed out at the nations conservation movement for opposing the dam.
 Following the Mt Mckinley meet ing, Fairbanks Mayor Darrell Brew ington took to television in Fair banks, and repeated the sentiment for Rampant that came out of the Mckinley meeting.
 Because of the strength of the attacks against individuals and groups who do not see eye to eye' with the pro-Ramparters, Television Station KFAR-TV, Fairbanks gave equal time for opponents to present views on the expensive and contro- versial project.
 Miss Celia Hunter, secretary of the Alaska Conservation Society. one of the groups named by Sund- borg as against Rampant, took the offer

 Dear Friend Editor:
 Back in the sos I was trapping up the Koyukuk River. There was a big celebration (potlatch), native dances singing, and dog racing, Christmas and New Year.
 One morning early, we were bum- ming around for something to drink. home brew or anything. One woman started cooking for their dogs. All of sudden men and women holler- ed. When We ran out the house, the woman had cooked herself by slipping and the boiling dog food all over her body.
 First thing I noticed was the writ ing on her underwear. It read, "Pillsbury's Best" across her sto. mach. We were using flour sacks for underwear and. you Eskinnos was using them for parkas.

take him from his home to the camp through whatever-at a speed of at least 40 mph, he purchased a 4-wheel-drive pickup, put a l6- foot boat on top and Az tons of merchandise for "Linda's Store" in back, and drove it to Anchorage this March.
 Out of this trip came yet another story to add to the dozens for which Archie is famed. Quote = When approached the customs I knew had to do some fast talking to get through, because I didn't have my vaccination shots. You know if you take those guys minds off what they're supposed to be doin,' some times they forget to ask all of them questions. Linda and I were in the truck with our cat-his name is Hercules-sitting between us. He's a big white cat and has been all over the country with us"
 Well, I asked those guys if they ever saw such a big cat before. This customs guy looked at that cat and asked what kind he was. I told him it was special cat - it was half cat and half rabbit. I don't think he believed me right away. so told him a bunch of stuff about how have to bring in lettuce and cabbage because that is all he eats"
 q told him about all of the guys that I had been bothered with out side to let me put the cat on exhi- bition. Pretty soon this fella and the other guy there got to tellin' each other that its nose sure looked like a rabbit and the legs were sure "a b bit legs anyhow they convinced each other that it sure was the first half cat-half rabbit they ever saw.
 "They got so excited about it that they was tellin' the tourists, and pretty soon guy came through that got real interested. told some friends about the big joke on those guys and pretty soon one of 'em sent me clipping out of the Fair banks paper. I sure did get through that guard place too. Anyway, they got to talking so much about Her cules they forgot to ask me about my shots" The clipping read as fol- lows: Would like to buy, or infor- nation, leading to offspring result ing from mating of rabbit and cat.

 It is presumed that Archie will live forever, and will, as long as he is alive, and long after he's gone, continue to provide us with a good laugh for he is a True Alaska Char acter,

Excerpts from speech given by Celia Hunter, secretary,
Alaska Conservation Society

"1'm not going to talk about ducks. Not that I'm not concerned about ducks, and not that I'm not | personally convinced that build ing Rampant Dam and flooding ten million acres of ideal waterfowl nesting area won't eliminate lot of ducks. But the value of a duck varies from person to person, and there are other negative aspects to the Let's Build Rampant Now cam paign that I want to comment on.
 T want to talk about money . The money these people are reach ing into our pockets for is not chickenfeed GA proposed request to the State Legislature for promo tion funds)
 "The figures of $100,000 and $30O,- 900 were quoted at the Mckinley Park meeting. And what do they intend to do with this money of yours and mine? Gus Norwood, who is not an Alaskan, but who is executive secretary of the North west Public Power assn, indicated that over $l0O,0O0 would be needed for hospitality and publicity alone for the first year -.
 ''In the first place, how can they be so certain Rampant is going to be an unqualified boon for Alaska until all of the reports covering the geology, the hydrology, the fish and wildlife resources, the sociolocical aspects, and most important, the real marketability reports are in? ..

Devils Canyon Dam


 Devils Canyon Dam
 "1f power costs in the Fairbanks area could be dropped from the present 60 to 70 mill per kilowatt cost to something like the or 8 mill cost promised from the Devils Canyon Dam on the Susitna River, and that power be delivered here in fraction of the years necessary to get Rampant Dam going, this should be considered very serious ly ..
 One notable feature of this dam Devils CanyonD in addition to it's location adajcent to existing rail transportation, is the clean bill of health given it by Fish and Wild Life Service biologists.
 Devils Canyon has none of the hazards that plague Rampant. It will be built in a steep narrow canyon, with a far smaller acreage under water. No migratory fish are involved and damage to other wild life habitat would be negligible =.
 And what about other possibili. ties for power generation? Atomic power is reality :. The Kenai and Gubik gas fields represent one of the largest known reservoirs of natural gas in North America Alaska has coal $. And what about the gigantic tides of Cook Inlet?
 Maine is harneSsing the tides in the Passamagquoddy pro ect. I have heard Rampant advocates pointing to this project and de. manding equal expenditure for pow research on harnessing our tidal power?
 Real Rampant Cost
 How much is Rampant really going to cost us? The Corps of Engineers usually quote a figure of $1.3 billion 10 cover cost of the construction, the railroad to the dam construction village and power transmitted to tide water
 Not included in this are items like the indemnity payments for persons who suffer loss of lands and hunting grounds due to the lam payments could continue all the way to the mouth of the Yu- <on River Such payments can each staggering proportions over he years.
 "Neither does the figures cover costs, and this program restoration and improvement of fish and wildlife habitat is manda- ory whenever an impoundment Hoods game and water habitat -.
