FAIRBANKS Alaska* Aug. 10, — Discovery of the

The trio reported they found the Hines plane five
thousand feet up on a barren mountain range, on the
Healy river slope, one hundred and seventy-five miles
east of here, while prospecting.
They said the plane had crossed several ridges
and then crashed into the mountain side, bursting into
flames. They found the burned bodies of its occupants
in the twisted wreckage.
The victims, in addition to pilot Art Hines, were
Mr. and Mrs. John Lonz and Alton G. Nordale, all of
Fairbanks.
The plane got off its course and crashed returning
from a celebration in Dawson last August 19th. Num
erous air and ground trips to locate the plane at the
time of the crash, were unsuccessful.
Hajdukovich brought in the license plate from the
plane. He said that the scant remains of the victims
were hardly recognizable._

Cutting Salaries Of
Officers Little To Do
Senator Henry Roden of the
First Division, on a tour of var
ious sections of Alaska, Saturday

lie from the stage of the Dream

Switzerland, and at the age of 21
years came direct to Seattle and
thence to the Klondike. He be

parts of Alaska except Point Bar
row and Cape Prince of W s,
and that some day he hope i to
go there.
Speaking of his campaign for
the Attorney General’s office he
pointed out that his long resi

him to a greater degree for the

ry G. McCain republican, be

with the needs of the country,
and would be better able to help
fulfill them. ,
Definite Beliefs
The Senator had very definite
beliefs regarding the means by
which Alaska could progress,
and said that one of his reasons
for coming to the Nome and Sew
ard Peninsula sections was to bet
ter acquaint himself with the con
ditions here.
He spoke of the various argu
ments propounded by members of
political parties, that Alaska
should be given exclusive home
rule, or become a state, declar
ing that the territory would pro
bably go bankrupt the first thing
if it were not for the support
given by the federal government,
in the shape of federal agencies
and activities in the territory.

three main industries of Alaska

Dr. E.D. Kohlstedt
Delivered Sermon
Federated Church
Speaking on “Christianity and
Our Country” at the Nome Fed
erated Church Sunday evening,
Dr. E. D. Kohlstedt traced the
territorial, governmental and re
ligious development of the Unit
ed States, from colonial times.
He urged the necessity of an
awakening on the part of organ
ized Christianity to this coun
try’s current religious and social
needs. Dr. Kohlstedt said in
part:
“Codes and compacts have their
values; constructive legislative
enactments serve an essential pur
pose, but economic and social
security are conditioned by the
prevalence of Christian princip
les and interpretations of life.
Those entrusted with government
al and social control should be
dominated by spiritual incen
tives; they should recognize the
Fatherhood of God, the Brother
hood of Man and the infinite val
ue of human life, regardless of
racial relations,
“Despite its limitations and
shortcomings, which humbles us,
the Christian Church is still the
most perfect agency devised to j
date, through which to channel
Christianity’s contributions to
ward the enrichment of our
heart, home and Community life.
It is the only social institution
