The dynamiting incident yester- day at the site of the new Alaska Ofiice Building came up for discus- sion and Chief of Police Bernard E. Hulk reported that windows had been broken in the Zenger reslder‘cé, the Cooper Building, and a parked car. A check showed that no per- nission had been requested from either the city clerk or police to do | dynamiting. | Permission was given to order 500 feet of steel guard rail at $1.11 |per foot and for 12 ends at $3.25 | each. It was decided to experiment with the painting of stop signs vertical- ly ofi poles instead of the attached metal signs whi¢ch are hazards to linemen. Miscellaneous Matters It was decided to clean up and fill the city property known as the |‘chicken Yard” where youngsters play basketball and some discussion of fencing it and enlisting the aid |of boys who use it. Decision was made to put out the old 6 or T-year old scoopmobile for sale on bid. A protest from the Northern Commercial Co. was read regard- ing a sewer outfall near the NC Co. grid. - The matter was referred to the mayor to look into and see what could be done about obtaining sew- er pipe to extend the sewer farther into the bay. The Chief of police was directed to collect an assortment of old bills due the eity. Further investigation regarding a concrete sidewalk and retaining wall on Gastineau Avenue will be made. The council agreed that a 40-foot retaining wall should be built to prevent water from under- miring the Union Hall and Shabal- dak properties. Kelly Larson, a property owner was agreeable to a concrete sidewalk but no authority was available on the Charles Mil- ler property adjoining. SINCIC ON SECOND SECTION OF TREK BEGUN JUNE, 1949 Paul Sincic, who began his pho- tographic trek on fogt to the inter- ior two years ago, started on the second chapter of his trip Wednes- day when he was taken by dory from Skagway across Taiya Inlet to Burro Creek. His tentative route from Skagway will be westerly up Burro Creek and across Ferebee Glacier and Chilkoot River to Klukwan. From | there, Sincic will cross the Chilkat tand Klehini Rivers near Wells then southwesterly to cross the Tsirku River and continuing south to Gla- From Glacier Bay he ke exceptionally tenuous as there are so many glaciers and high mountain peaks that I'll have fo | 'feel’ my way. To make it even more difficult, I haven't been able to ob- tain a map of the area between |Glacier Bay and Yakutat,” Sincic ‘sah‘l. | No Course Planned i Sincic gives two reasoms for not |planning a definite course so that a search party could attempt loca- ting him if he does no sl up in |three or four months. e first reason is that the terrain he is to traverse is so mountainous and |glaciated that a person cannot travel “as the crow Flies,” he said. His route, he noted, must be altered day by day according to the obstac- les confronting himy. His second reason is that since his trek is a photographic one, he must change his route from time to time depending upon what he {considers photographic possibilities of the country he will be going through. Assuming Hazards “Both reasons I have given rule out the idea of a search party if THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE I fail to show up after three or four months. If I get into any trou- ble, T'll try to signal a plane., If that isn't possible, then no search party could locate me either. That's one of the hazards I'm willing to assume,” Sincic said. His equipment has been increased in that Sincic has added bear paw snowshoes, ice crampons, ice pick, light fur parka for the higher coun- try, and about 15 pounds of food including dehydrated vegetables, yellow corn meal and white biscuit flour. He expects to bring down game with his 30-30 carbine and a 22 rifle. Sincic said that his pack is ac- tually built around his photogrdphic equipment. His film, a speed graph- ic camera, tripod, 35mm camera, filters and other photographic equipment weigh about 30 pounds. He hopes to cover the approxi- mate 300 miles to Yakutat in three to five months. In the first week of June, 1949, Sincic left Juneau on his photo- graphic trek that he still hopes will take him to the upper Koyukuk River in the Endicott Mountains of the Brooks Range within the Ar- tic Circle. At that time he spent 55 days on the trail to Comet on the north end of Berner's Bay. During the time he traveled on this first seg- ment of his trip, no contact was made with anyone until he met Lawrence Frank who was caretaker at Comet Mine number two on Ber- ner’s Bay. After returning to Juneau from Berner's Bay, Sincic went to Skag- way and covered part of the area from Skagway back toward the bay area. He has been working in Skag- way since then. 9 IN, 19 0UT ON PRINCESS LOUISE Nine passengers arrived on the Princess Louise with 19 embarking southbound Friday morning.
