KbY TO NOME!
Considerable discussion has tak
en place about the ten Army
bo tubing planes which are soon t.i
leave Washington. 1). for Alas
ka. In Nome the people have
been wondering why those planes
are not scheduled to fly to Nome.
A concerted effort, properly car
ried out, we believe, would con
vince the War Department that
those planes should he sent on
ower to Nome from Fairbanks.
Here are several reasons why
we believe that flight should be
extended to include Nome:
The stated purpose of the flight
1s for training and photographic
eurrey work. Between the bound
ary line «f the Yukon Territory
and Fairbanks they • would hav
only slight opportunities for doing
! survey work. Between Nome and
Fairbanks they would have 540
miles of commercial airplane
route to photograph and survey.
There is the Yukon river to fol
low which would afford them suf
ficient opprtunities for training
and surveying
Anothe point: they are going
to attempt to familiarize them
selves with flying conditions In
Alaska. They certainly won’t be
come familiar by flying to only
one city in the Territory.
Granting, that sometime pro
bably in the near futuer, that the
Army will establish air bases in
Alaska, they would have to havu

sub-bases from which operations
could be conducted. Nome ig
not centrally located to be a main
base, but it is locate<f in such a 1
way that they would hi^ve a gub
base here for military protectlou
and a place from which" the army
can carry on maneuverg.
In addition to these facts, the
largest landing field in Alaska is
at present under construction. If
those planes can be brought to
Nome, 2000 feet of that field will
i be in perfect condition to land
■ 1
and take off from according to in
formation from the Alaska Road
Commission, offices. In Other
words by about Juiy 20th that
Portion of the field would be in
I A-l shape. At. present the title
to'taht field rests .with the Inter
[ or Department, but we believe in
the event of any army base being
[established in Nome, the War De
Ipatrment would .probably take it
| over.
ro prove mat *\ome -really need
Icd h large field,, it w ild be a
good move to have mWhm> Army
m( n !ai.d oil tnat field a,id observe
the conditions under which it la
necessary to operate aircraft in
this section. ^ .
With these points in mind, we
believe they constitute a real, and
vital argument for having the
Army bombing t planes come to
Nome. Realities are much more
*
important and impressive than
fabrications and bluff. We have
no bluff here. Every point la
that argument is a fact and real
9. . 1
tty that cannot be side-tracked
without being considered.

the late Joe Hendricks was held

Point cemetery, prior to the
commitment of his body for In
