PAGE TWO JUNEAU COUPLE TO START SMALL DAIRY AT HAINES IN JUNE, The thriving community of Haines will this spring taste fresh milk for | the first time in some five years. | A young Juneau couple, Mr. and Mrs. George 3enesch, leave today | for the Lynn Caral town to begin | work on starting a,small dairy com- | prising six cows, to be located in an abandoned mule barn at old Fort Chilkoot. The Benesches drove north over | the Alaskan Highway in August last year and drove direct to Haines, | where George went to work for Lytle and Green, construction firm pav- | ing the Haines Cutoff, In November he was made electrical engineer with the Bureau of Reclamation in Jun- eau. His wife, Peggy, worked for the Alaska Native Service here. A $mall dairy once furnished milk to Haines, but went out of business near the end of Wor,d War II. The Presbyterian mission, Haines House, | ment to separate | Trinnell | company, of Seattle is registered L) rure, described the Engebreth flur- which arrives monthly on an Alaska Steamship company freighter. Both raised on farms in Colorado, the opportunity for starting a dairy appealed to 26-year-gld George and his wife. A few months ago they saw their way clear to finance the oper- ation and made arrangements to buy cows in Seattle and to take over | the old mule barn. They will live on the post. They hope in June to start fur- nishing some 70 quarts of raw un- separated milk a day for the town of 400 persons. Later, they hope to add to their herd and obtain equip- and pasteurize their product. The couple’s pickup truck anc personal property were today loade: aboard the freighter Coastal Ram bler. George will ride the ship tc Haines, with Peggy flying up vic Alaska Coastal Airlines this after noon. FROM Charles P. Byrnes, Co., piping SEATTLE Jr. and fitl'ng the Baranof Hotel.

Gunnard Engebreth of Anch- orage for Delegate to Congress” ap- | cears to have aroused no enthus- iasm whatever among Republicans slsewhere in the Territory. “Purely a splinter movement,” is of thefihe way one old-line Republican, | a former member of the Legisla- ry. “You will find,” he added, “that this movement centers somewhere tetween No. 446 and No. 820 on Fourth Avenue in Anchorage. The splinter may cause a little fester- ing around there, but I do not be- lieve the inflammation will spread.” He explained that No. 446 isthe address of the Bank of Alaska in Anchorage, a bank headed by Ei- mer E. Rasmuson who has aspira- tions to become Republican Na- tional Committeeman. And No. 820 is the address of the Anchorage Times,” headed by Robert Bruce Atwood,” who has aspiretions. Chicago-born Gunnard Marshaii Engebreth came to Alask. <. 1934 and entered the Alask: Nutive Service as a teacher. After riding out the tough depression years in that berth, he went into the hard- ware business in Anchorage in 1940 and has made a tidy clean-up dur- ing the boom times of the past de- cade. After serving on the Anchorage Public Utilitiez Board, he entered Territorial politics in 1946 and edged out Stanley J. McCutcheon Ly 807 votes for a Third Division Senate seat. . Last fall he was re-elected when the Republicans in Alaska staged an up-surge that paralleled the one on the - national scene. Engebreth ran second in the Third Division Senate race, 101 votes behind the popular Geyrit “Heinie” Snider. In the evenly divided 1949 Sen- ate, Engebreth inched his way into the presidency on a compromise between Republicans and Demo- crats and after a five-day deadlock. In ‘the 1951 Senate, with another 8-8 split in party membership, he bulldozed his way back into the THE DAILY ALASKA EM same seat, with an assist Democrat William Beltz. This did nothing to endear him to a majority of the Republicans in the 20th Legislature. Nor was party harmony helped by Enge- breth’s vote to seat a membet the Democratic Precinct Commit- tee as Secretary of the Senate. And Northern Notebook Galley 2 HH his vote during the entire session, mainly cast on the side of the dwindling crowd of Gruening Dem- ocrats, widened the rift. Engeoreth’s adherence to the Gruening gang gained him a place on the new but perhaps invalid Board of Administration, but it krought him little help on his own legislative program, mest of which went by the board. He shed bitter tears and squealed “double-cross” when the Grueningites failed to suppoit his bill providing for el- ective Mational Committeemen—a bill designed primarily to help kanker Rasmuson achieve his am- bition. But the principal rift between Engebreth and the larger portion of the Alaska Republican. Party started more than a year ago. When Republicans from Ketchikan to Nome west to Juneau for a bury-the-hatchet gathering — a gathering that laid the groundwork for the Republican victories Iast fall—Engebreth failed to show up. And he became sharply and pub- licly critical of nearly everything the Republican assembly ac- complished. In view of these tn'ngs, Enge- breth can scarcely be cons.deved a strong possibilily for the Delegate’s seat, even in the unlikely event that he is nominated. Even in his own home town, where there is continual guerilla warfare among koth Republicans czd Democrats, he might run second best, and elsewhere, look, he could expect little support. “Engebreth for Delegatéd” said a grizzled old Democrat, veteran of many a hard campaign. “Well, if the Republicans nominate him, they’ll have a stronger candidate from than if they put up Alexander Baranof. But not much.” Good news for Alaska’s trappers from the present out-, PIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA comes from the Treasury Depart- ent in Washington, which disclo- that it is investigating charges that forced labor is used to produce Russian furs. 1f this is foupd true, importa- tion of the furs will be banned. For years Alaskan trappers have protested the dumping of vast quantities of Soviet-produced furs on the American market, in dir- competition with their own i-won pelts. Not long ago Russian crab meat was barred from this country be= cause it is produced by convict and forced labor. oct The tariff act, according to the|Stores, Inc.; Lamy's, Inc; Green \sury Department, provides for|Lantern, Inc; Last Chance, Inc.; manufactured | Hangar Lounge, Inc.; Laurence S. Fr exclus by whe in the United States in sufficien quantities. Ccanned crab meat, it was felt, is produced here in sufficient quan. tities to meet the demand. Perhaps the United States, inclu- ine Alaska, does not presently pro- duce all of the fur for which there is a market in this country. But it could easily do so. Fur farming was iderable industry in Ala: doubt could bc again if some pro- tection were afforaed the farmers from unfair foreign competition. The importation of Russian furs is a double-barreled weapon. It not anly hurts our own industries {but provides the Soviets S. dollars to use in building I(l r war machine. 'ALASKA RAILROAD UNIONS DEMAND §1 HOUR BOOST ANCHORAGE, Alaska, April 20— #—Operating personnel of the gov- ernment-controlled Alaska Railroad rejected a pioposed interim wage increase ranging Iron. to 20% cents an hour.
