(OPENS NEW ALASKA PLANT, ANCHORAGE A new industry for Alaska was inaugurated today at Anchorage when Permanente Cement Com- PERMANENTE co.t |pany of Permanente, California, opened a distributing plant in that city. Governor Ernest Gruening gave the opening and welcoming speech, Permanente’s distributing facil- ity at Anchorage was installed to serve Alaska's railbelt area and provide cement for both commeg- cial and military installations in the Territory. { The plant has a bulk storage cap- acity of 30,000 barrels and in s packhouse automatic 3-spout bag | packers can turn out 32 bags of cement per minute—or 66,000 during {a 24-hour period. The plant has an annual capacity of in excess of 300,000 barrels per year. The new plant will make avail- able to Alaska builders the first bulk cement in the Territory’s his- tory and provide a marked saving through cheaper transportation and handling costs. To serive its ‘Anchorage plant, Permanente will ship bulk cement north on its own steel barges and ships. Besides its 17,000-barrel capacity barges, Permanente owns its own Liberty ship, the 8. S. Per- | manente Silverbow, a 10,000-ton vessel converted into a 56,000 bar- {rel bulk cement carrier. Added to this, is a 45,000-barrel ship which Permanente has under charter. Permanente is the world’s largest cement plant. It has distributing centers throughout the Pacific | coast, Hawaii and now, Alaska. Coming up for the opening of the Anchorage plant by speclal plane were the following: Sid Campbell, Alaska manager of the Foss Tug and Barge Co.; Nels Jo- hansen, vice president Pioneer Sand and Gravel Co.; Gene Auvy, | president Valley Cement Co. of | Yakima; Jess Klenker, president of Klenker Sand and Gravel Co., Se- attle; R.

LEAKING TANK RESULTS IN MARINE WAY BLAZE A two-five fire alarm was sounded at 10:45 o'clock last night after & gasoline fire blazed up on Marine Way. The alarm was turned in by O. C. Peterson, who said he saw the gaso- line, which had leaked from a pass- ing car, blaze 15 feet high. He said he did not know what ignited the gasoline. The car, driven by Erling Mar- tinsen, pulled off the road and the flames did not follow the trail of fuel from it. The blaze on Marine Way was out by the time the fire- fighters arrived, but extinguisher fluid was spread over the pool of gasoline behind Martinsen’s auto- mobile to prevent another fire. PH NURSE HERE Miss Arne Bulkeley, Public Health several days this week on public health business.

Pitt, | ,cnmax of spectacular propértions, | | required 12 days of actual shooting. A substantial section of the fort, as it existed in 1763, was constructed in the studio’s largest sound stage. It took fwo months to build the fort with drawbridge. DeMille also used 150 Indians in this production. "LAND OFFICE BUSINESS” JUST WHAT IT SAYS With the Bureau of Land Man- agement celebrating its fourth birthday nnn'iversnry tomorrow, the past year has seen 991 homesteads being held by entreemen in Alaska, it was announced today by Leonard Berlin, Juneau administrator for the office. The bureau was formed in 1946 by joining the old General Land Office, established in 1812, and the | Grazing Service, formed in 1934. ! During the fiscal year ending | June 30 the bureau made rectank- ular surveys of more than 47830 acres of land in the Territory, Ber- lin said. Dependent surveys covered 2,220 acres and other special sur- veys included 248 small tracts, 441 | townsite lots, 175 homesites, 15 homesteads for settlement claim- ants, one trade and manufacturing site and two headquarters sites. b2 Of the 991 homesteads now under process of being patented if they are proved up, 726 are in the 1st and 3rd Divisions, with 265 in the 2nd and 4th Divisions. They total 117,190 acres of land. On top of this, 1,209,106 acres of grazing land are under lease, Berlin said. Lots of business has been aceler- ated by the bureau in the past year, because despite the more than 100 land investigations made each month by field examiners, the bu- reau found itself with 156 more| cases on hand at the end of the fiscal year than it had at the same time last year. ’ The agency's forest division sold more than 12 million board feet of timber during the year, and an- other 2} million feet were given away through free use permits. | Lowell M.
