Survey '70 Report By OSCAR PETERSON Wo arrived at WhIU'horse, Yukon. Whlti'horso was once a resting place for stampcdcra on their way to Dawson City and the now famous Klondike Gold Fields. We are in the Yukon Territory established as a ep urate district of the Northwest Territories, because of the con tinuing movement of people In to the area during gold rush days. Whitehorse is now the capital. Made such In 1953 In stead of the historic town of Dawson. Immediately upon arrival at Whltehorse airport our group is serenaded by a group of enter tainers from the Frontier Follies. Thla seemed like a most friend ly way of bidding our very sed ate group a hearty welcome. We are now boarded into buses for a tour of Whltehorse and vicinity. We see the rapids In the river, Yukon, and several of the stern-wheeler boats which, now drydocked here, carried freight down the river Into the interior and the Klondike reg Ion. There were many In the earlier days but as of now, pos sibly only one in operation. This evening there is a reception and dinner at the Associates Club. The speaker at the banquet was a Mr. Kenneth Lieber, President of the Anvil Mining Company. Here again we hear something of the tremendous mining re sources of the Yukon Territory. Among others at the banquet is Mr. Gus Norwood, formerly with the Northwest Public Pow er Association, Vancouver, Wn, but now administrator for the Alaska Power Administration, He will be our official host from Whitehorse to Anchorage. I can't say that Norwood has changed much from the time of the ear ly days of our REA movement, when we would see him fre quently. He did sort of want to compliment me though, it seems. Said I hadn't changed much in the last 20 years. But, I could say the same about him All except, he had probably put on some 20 pounds or more in weight Whitehorse enjoys the title of "Hospitality Capital of the North." Nothing to do following banquet and program but to enjoy some of this "hospitality." We are scheduled for the 2nd showing for the evening .of Frantic Follies. This turned out to be a unique Yukon show, a production with a '98 setting. The show includes Can-Can girls, honky tonk piano stylings and sing-alongs as well as a variety of authentic music and skits dating back to the Gold Rush days. In all it turned out to be a very pleasant ending to a long and eventful day. On our way to Anchorage Mr. Norwood did brief us on some power resources of the great state of Alaska. Particularly the Yukon-Taiya project. This project would divert a portion of the flows of the Yukon Riv er in Canada through a 17-mile trans-mountain power tunnel, under the coast range, to a pow er plant near tide water in the Taiya Valley, north of Skagway, Alaska. It's an international project. The development at Miles ' Canyon with develop ment of full powerhead of 2200 feet could have an installed ca pacity of 600 to 1400 mega watts. Mr. Norwood says there is hope that the project can be completed within 5 years. The Yukon-Taiya could be a replace' ment for the Rampart project on the middle Yukon. I said that in 1!X'.6 wells were started Into production with a 'pipeline earning 100.000 barrels of oil per day from the drilling piairorms in the water, to stor age facilities on Kenal Peninsu la. There are now some 60 wells plus 11 gag wells in the areii. We are only In Anchorage for a couple of hours. There is a lunch and educational program arranged for us at the Anchor age Airport. A Colonel E. L. Har din. Jr.. District Engineer for the Aliuska District. Corps of En gineers, Is the speaker. We have so many briefings and educa tional programs that by now It's most too much to keep notes of it all. However Colonel Hardin was a most interesting speaker and caused many questions to be asked. Richard G. Prasll, Manage ment Biologist for the National Park Service in Alaska Is with us from Anchorace to Fair banks. We fly over the Mata nuska Valley and see a bit of it. Looked a bit crowded be tween the huge hills, I thought. They say about 50 of the orig inal 900 who settled here fail ed. Now, of those remaining and on larger farms are doing quite well. We flew over Mt. McKinley National Park and close to Mt. McKinley but cloudy and overcast, so saw nothing there. We are now at Fairbanks. Fairbanks is Alaska's second largest city. Can't help but no tice some of the huge aircraft. The Hercules for Instance, for heavy hauling, is used a great deal in bringing equipment and supplies to the North Slope Oil fields. We are at the Traveler's Inn. Speakers from University of Alaska conduct the briefing session here. Very good. Fair banks is a very clean looking city. They say 23 of people here work for Uncle Sam and the other 13 support them. Lo cation of the city is on the Chena River not far from where it empties into the mighty Yukon. The reception and din nor for the members of our Sur vey '70 group was on Captain Jim Brinkley s new stern wheeler "Discovery , and on the Chena River. We are joined by representative groups of the Fairbanks Chamber of Com merce. Brinkley proved to be an ideal host. While his son acted as pilot he mingled with the group and in a most jovial manner proved to be an excel lent host. Next Prudhoe Bay and Inu vik. (to. . be continued) HEPPNER GAZETTE -TIMES. Thunder.
