DR. BUNNELL | GUEST SPEAKER ATROTARY GLUB T . . . noon. University President Tells| The rev. Eriing k. Olafson was! discourse paying of Excellent Progress at Institution If all the graduates of high schools in Alaska during the next ten years gualified to enter the University of Alaska @nd graduated from that ation, still the growing de- mand professions and industry in Alaska for University of Alaska graduates could not be filled, Charles E. Bun- nell, LL. D., President of the Uni- versity of Alaska told Rotarians assembled at the weekly meeting of | the Juneau club in the Terminal | Cafe, today { “All living graduates of the Uni-| versity of Alaska are now gainfully | employed,” Dr. Bunnell told his au- | dience, “a record, I believe, that is unequaled by any similar insti- | tution.” Picking out at random the grad- | uating class of 1933, Dr. Bunneil read the names of the graduates and told where each was employed. The University President further said that out of a total of 111 grad- uates eighty-three of them were| living in Alaska. He stressed this | significant fact, and pointed out that Alaska needed young people to| carry on the vast work of develop- | ing the great natural resources of the Territory, and at this point said | that it was encouraging to see many | young business and professional men | in the Juneau Rotary Club. The demand for trained young people in the Territory, Dr. Bunnell said, perhaps was an indication that Alaska is thriving from the pioneer days. 1 As a progressive step for raising the standards for graduation at the | University of Alaska in engineering and mining engineering, Dr. Bun- nell said that a five-year course was now required to obtain a degree in the branches of engineering offered | by the University. Introduced by Bert Caro, James | McGovern entertained the Rotarians with several violin numbers, and with club singing by the members. | Rotarian F. E. McDermott gav i | | | | a review of a recent Rotary Maga- zine article on business men mind- ing their business. President A. B. Phillips told a humorous story relative to a friend- ly prank Dr. Bunnell arranged many years ago while U. 8. District Judge. Dr. Bunnell was introduced to the club- by Robert Bender, who said for graduates from business, | Believe It Or Not, It Happened Here, At Church A church door looks just the same as a-door to a private house and this caused a slight but humorous disturbance at the Resurrection Lu- Iore»' theran Church last Sunday | impressively making his and the congregation was close attention. Suddenly the calm was broken by an unusual sound. | Several distinct raps were heard jon the front door of the church. | The pastor stopped and the au- | dience suddenly sat tense. “Rap, Rap, Rap,” again echoed through the church auditorium. The tenseness increased. Then one of the elders near the |door opened it to be confronted by |a small boy who said: “Want dance?” The young man had been calling on all houses in the vicinity of the church and the church looked the to buy a ticket to the isame to him as any other abode.| Nope—you guess the answer. |to the affairs of the University of Alaska, say that the present status of the institution is largely due to the consistent, and untiring efforts of Dr. Bunnell. C. OF C. EXECUTIVES VISIT U, S. FOREST SERVICE ‘PROJECTS Some of the members of the Exe- cutive Committee of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce were guests |of the U. S. Forest Service yester- day for a visit to various Forest Sfervice projects out the Glacier Highway. Under the direction of Charles G. Burdick, Administrative Assistant, the party made up of H. R.

E. Halberg, one of the owners and operating manager of the com- jpany who is in Juneau enroute to Seattle for the winter. The company, which is incor- porated in the State of Washing- !ton, holds 11 miles along the main channel of the Kougarok River, six and one-half miles of the claims lying below, and the remainder above the old Taylor station. Some jof the holdings were acquired two years ago and added to last year. An area of a little less than one half square mile, was last year blocked out for working this sea- son, and the drilling indicated values of about one-half million dollars in the block. This year, equipment, consisting principally of a Washington combination pon- |toon flume-stacking dredge, was put !into operation on the property, and in the short period in which it ! worked, from September 3, till October 13, nearly paid for the purchase and installation cost of | the equipment. g gy e Peculiar difficulties had to be jovercome to land the. dredge- on the properties. The equipment was brought in through Teller, and tak- en 60 miles inland by special light- er, to Davidson’s Landing; from where it was transported across forty miles of country in which no roads exist. Five hundred tons, in all, were landed on the property by that route during the summer. The overland haul was accomplished by two RD6 Caterpillar diesel tract- ors, pulling track-type trailers, and the first of the pontoons was landed at Taylor on July 1. All was assembled and the dredge in operation by September 3. With a one hundred twenty-day season, expected, it is planned to do considerable drilling next sum- mer, and block out extra ground, for a second dredge, which it is planned to bring in'to the claims next fall, Mr. Halberg said. With two dredges in operation, is thought that fifteen more years will then be required to exhaust the properties. An average crew of thirty men was employed by the company dur- ing the past summer, Mr. Halberg stated, and the work was unmarred by mishaps. Accompanying Mr. Halberg on the trip to the States lis Dan Kelly, also connected with the Kougarok Consolidated.
