The seedlings of the ancient de- |cidious tree were planted in Ju- | neau, Ketchikan, Craig, Petersburg, 'and Sitka and several points to the | Westward. Of the entire number, 46 are alive and healthy, 15 are still covered with snow or have not yet leafed out, and only five lare known to be dead. | Because of these first indications lof success, 100 more of these for- mer inhabitants of Alaskan forésts during prehistoric times will be distributed to far-flung outposts ir ! the Territory, the research center said.

E. (Bil) Hixson from Fairbanks. Under a Fairbanks dateline Mon- day, The Empire told how fliers from Ladd Air Force Base dropped 500 pounds of bombs to break an ice jam on the Koyukuk River nedr the isolatec Eskimo village of Cut- off. This community is about 300 miles west of Fairbanks. Hixson has received a letter from Sam White, northern bush pilot of 20 years' experience. in which he says, in part: As you know, Cutoff had ab- solutely no communitcations before I obtained their radio for them through your good offices. 1fcy were absolutely defenseless against whatever might assail them, and only obtained relief through hap- hazard arrival of a plane or on my regular mail trips twice a month. Friday, Cutoif radio came through to Fairbanks station KAZW wiih a bona fide emergency message— a real disaster in the .makig There was not enough water in the Koyukuk River breakup to carry off the jce, with the result that it jammed below Cutoff and backed up, jamming the river full of ice and raising the water very rapidly. Knowing the topography there as I do, I understood that the mes- sage really was a frantic call for lhelp. with not a minute to lose. In a short time more—a matler of a few hours—high water and blocks. of ice on the rampage would have wiped the town out, As Cut- off is completely isolated, the res- idents would have no place to go and would probably perish. The Air Force at Ladd Field was contacted. They called me and, since Cutoff is on no maps, three officers hurried to my house and I spotted Cutoff in on the map for them. In a few hours, they were bembing the ice jam.- They were over the Cutoff country all nfsht and I am told that about 30 bombs were dropped, The jam was broken up and Cutoff was saved from a major disaster. . This was cue wholly to the radio you provided for use at Cutoff. I will be on floats next week, and as soon as the ice is clear of the river, I am going over on a mail and checkup trip. I shall gather all the data I can for your use.
