OFF BAFFIN ISLAND BOUND FOR HERE A famous Alaska bush pilot has made a fine name for himself on the other side of the continent, ac- cording to a recent issue of The Montreal Star. Maurice King, formerly of Fair- banks and Kotzebue, but now a resident of Juneau, is credited with much of the success of an imporl- ant Arctic Institute expedition on Baffin Island. Col. P. D. (Pat) Baird, Canadian co-director of the Institute, who has been here in connection with work on Seward and Malaspina Glaciers, was pictured and inter- viewed in a story more than a col- umn long. Quoting from Th(‘ Star: “The expedition leader praised the pilot, Maurice King, who, he said, could make the Institute’s Norseman do practically everything except smnd| still in the air. “Much of the success of the ex- pedition, Colonel Baird said, was | due to the facility with which the party of 20 and supplies were mov- ed about the island on the airp\anc‘ “The Royal Canadian Air Forcc gave the expedition a speedy start by flying the main groups in, trav- eling to Goose Bay, Frobisher Bny and then Clyde Inlet, expedition headquarters for the five base camps, This point is located about midway on the east coast of Baf- fin Island, well above the Arctic Circle.” Staying at the beautiful Wind-i sor Hotel in Montreal, Maurice King again sends greetings to his Juneau friends, whom he hopes to see the first week in October. He will remain in Montreal while work is being done on the airplane at the Norseman factory and while awaiting arrival of the wheels and skis by boat. He used floats to come from the 90-by-40-mile ice cap. Of his part in the expedition, the veteran Alaska bush pilot writes: “The summer turned out very well for me, as well as for the Institute. As long as they got back, it was successful from my point of view. They did much more work than they had expected.” King has been pilot for the Arc- tic Institute for the two seasons the scientists worked on Seward Glacier, where research will be con- tinued next summer. Colonel Baird, who left Montreal in May as a clean-shaven “long, lean drink of water,” returned from Baffin with luxuriant beard—and an extra 10 pounds. He said the 1950 expedition was a highly successful one, research concentrating chiefly in a heavy scientific program of geology, glac- iology and biology, No oil was detected, but the party collected many specimens which in- dicate ore of economic value. Thou- sands of specimens, which may take two years to “work up,” as well as voluminous data on a largely un- explored territory (scientifically speaking) will be landed at Que- bec late this month by the C.G.S. vessel C .D. Howe. Colonel Baird will discuss many } of his findings in a series of lect- ures on “Polar Regions and the Canadian North” sponsored by fa-: mous McGill University. — | SITKA FAMILY HERE & | Mr., and Mrs. Earl K.

LIGHT TRAFFC ON HAINES HIGHWAY: WATER RECEDING Rumors have been flying about the condition of the Haines High- way, causing both the Alaska Road Commission and the Territorial Highway Engineer to arrange for first-hand reports. George M. Tapley, chief of the ARC engineering division, flew to Haines today, planning to come back |, tomorrow, and Highway Patrolman Al Lubcke of Haines was expected to report to his chief, Frank A. Met- calf, on arrival late this afternoon. “The thinking Calls a YELLOW* ‘AW@AW PHO L22 OR 14 FOR A YELLOW CAB fellow tarrived Friday. | chief, Electronics and Maintenance THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA Meantime, both offices say that reports are greatly exaggerated. The road is still passable for light traffic over the Big Boulder Creek bridge, which had been reported washed out. Metcalf expects the ap- proaches which were partly washec be ready for general traffic bv Wednesdny Some of the fills in that area were undermined and the blacktop was cracked, but not too much to hold up light traffic. Boulder Creek is at about Mile 35, |on the Alaska side. The Canadians have had the |more serious problem, as a second slide at Mile 43, just over the border |was said to have blocked the road again. Road Commission engineers un- !derstood that Canadians expected {to complete repairs by today. Returning from Haines, Highway Patrol Sgt. John Monagle of Juneau |reported that the Chilkat River overflow caused “higher water than ever before.” For two days, it came in at the rate of four inches an hour. The flash flood resulted from the melting of deep snow by a Chmookl wind and rain. Flood danger is about over, ac- cording to Metcalf, who says the water is going down at about two feet an hour. FWS SEARCHERS LOCATE LOST MAN, DIRECT RESCUERS “All right but hungry,” after being lost in the woods most of ‘a week, Archle Dunbar was glad to be spot- | ted by a rescue aircraft Saturday morning, and he called the emer- gency rations dropped to him “the finest dinner in my life.” Having been lost since Tuesday | in the rugged Klahina River Valley near Haines, Dunbar was located about 25 miles above Wells, by a Fish and Wildlife Service air-search party. Equipped only with a gun, knife and matches, Dunbar had shaved willows and alders and built a smudge fire. After communicating with the lost man, the FWS party flew several miles up-river to a searchers’ camp and used aerial drop blocks to ask the searchers to go downriver by boat while the aircraft guided them. This they did, and took Dunbar to Wells by river boat. Dunbar, an Oregonian employed on construction work near Haines Returning from the area .Satur-|by Lytle and Green, said he had day, Dan Ralston said the entire ivalley was flooded, adding, “I never saw so much water.” CAA PARTY HERE ON INSPECTION Visiting and inspecting major in- stallations in Southeast Alaska, a group of Civil Aeronautics Admin- istration officials from Anchorage They plan to go o Yakutat tomorrow in the C.A.A.

Becoming confused and realizing he was lost, he stopped in| an open flat space in the river val- | ley and kept a small fire going. Dunbar had gone into the ‘moun- { tainous country to assist Jack B. Gucker and Kenneth Loken, both of Juneau, in packing out a moose they had killed. Dunbar started without a gun, but took one to lighten the load of one of the hunters. He said he had “just wandered off.” FWS officials here receiyed the search request Friday night from their Haines agent, Clarence Mat- son, who had been put in charge of the search by U.S. Commissioner Ross Hevel. He was assisted by Highway Pa- trolmen Al Lubcke, who is stationed at Haines, and Sgt. John Monagle of Juneau. They were greatly aided by residents and hunters, who formed a number of search parties. Aboard the Widgeon _aircraft which went out early = Saturday, piloted by Bob Meek, were Dan Ral- ston, FWS law enforcement:super- visor, and Sven (Whitey)&#fhorpe, Juneau construction man who had just come from the Klahina, region. , GENUINE REBEKAHS l OLD STYLE SOUR MASH KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY BONDED 100 PROOF _— STITZEL-WELLER DISTILLERY, INC., Losisvills, Ky ——— Distributed throughout Alaska by ODOM COMPANY TONIGHT The American Legion at 8 o'Clock IN THE LEGION DUGOUT Visiting Veterans Invited ROBERT N.
