ALASKAN INDUSTRY
HITS FORWARD STRIDE
Midsummer, and Alaskan in
dustry is at her seasonal flood
tide in industry in her major
activities of fishing, mining and
transportation. More than that,
she has hit an unprecedented
stride, which she promises stead
ily to increase. No portion of Am
erica is developing more rapidly
none offers greater inducements.
The opening of the mad fishing
season on Bristol Bay with thou
sands of men employed is one
^token of activity in the North.
Another is the booming condition
in mining throughout the terri
tory. Millions of dollars worth of
heavy equipment—dredges, drag
lines, tractors, bulldozers, hy
draulic and similar materials has
come into Alaska this season.
More is coming and every section
is humming with new mining en
terprises.
Tourist business this year has
reached unprecedented propor
tions and preparations by the fed
eral government, transportation
lines, hotels and others for in
creasing facilities for handling
the growing traffic augur great
things for fhe future in catering
to those who come to see the
scenic wonders of the Northland.
Aviation is developing in the
territory so rapidly that it has
revolutionized conditions. Far
flung centers of the Northern
empire, formerly weeks and even
months apart, are now only hours
apart. Alaskans have become 70
times more airminded per capita
than any portion of America.
Man’s accomplishments in the
North has speeded up more than
one hundredfold with aid of the
phone and other facilities as
compared to pioneer days when
the dog team and the canoe were
the only m«ans of inland traffic.
Round-world air routes as well
as inter-Alaskan services criss
cross the territory—and the game
is only begun.
Polar flights and promise of
immediate services between the
Occident and the Orient—be
tween the old world and new
w’orld centers—have w’rested Al
aska from her isolation and
thrown her in the center of the
world theater of activity.
Every Alaskan community is
enjoying unprecedented progres
sive status. Construction, home
build.ng, farm development, lum
bering, coal mining, as well as
mineral production are contribut
ing their part—and Alaska con
tinues one of the great fur pro
ducing regions of the world.
As a land of opportunity for
the young, for investors and men
and women of all pursuits, the re
gion has no superior.

Alaska Pilots
Disagree With
Glacier Priest
I
_
(Bv The Associated Press)
FAIRBANKS. Sept. 1—Veteran
Alaska pilots commenting on Fr.
Hubbard's statement in his story
to the press, disagreed with the
priests observations that “there is
) very little probability that the
fliers survived” or his criticism of
the choice of Barrow as a search
base. Noel Wien said: “as to
whether the Russians are alive—
one person's guess is as good as
another, as to the establishment
of a base—suppose consideration
was given Wainwright as free of
ice—but all search planes would
have to pass Barrow to reach the
route of t he Levanefsky party.
Ski equipped planes are best and
Barrow is much better base for
ski equipped planes than Wain
wright.”
Pilot Joe Crosson said: “every
body is doing the best they can,
Barrow is the logical point for
operations.” King Baird said:
“My honest opinion is that the
Russians are still alive”. Soviet
representative Vartanian said:
“We believe they are still alive
and we will do everything poss
ible to locate them.”
Weather Today
j
(U. S. Weather Bureau)
Cloudy and unsettled weather
prevails this morning generally
in all sections of Alaska except
fair weather is reported along the
CJulf and in southeastern Alaska.
Occassional light showers were
recorded over the southern por
tion of Seward Peninsula,
charted over northern Alaska
Low atmospheric pressure is
while an extensive high pressure
area still covers southern Alaska
and the north Pacific Ocean and
it is likely that cloudy and unset
tled weather probably with light
showers will continue for Nome
and Vicinity with not much
change in temperature.
The lowest Nome temperature
last night was 48 and the highest
yesterday 53.
