TRANS-PACIFIC AIR MAIL
Mr. Juan Tripp, President of Pan American Airways,
made public yesterday a statement that his concern had
under consideration, two well-defined routes for the carry
ing of mail by airplane, to Asia.
One route, along the southerly course, he stated would
touch at Hawaii and other Pacific Islands; and the other
route was up the American coast to Alaska and thence ac
ross Bering Straits to Siberia and down to Japan or China.
At present the Pacific Alaska Airways, operating company
for Pan American Airways, is flying a star air mail route
between Nome and Fairbanks twice weekly. It is under
stood that arrangements are nearing completion for the
extension of this route from Fairbanks to Seattle.
If, and when, the Trans-Pacific air mail route is es
tablished in the near future, it will, undoubtedly pass
through Nome, the mpst easterly point on their route at
present. Nome is directly on Mr. Tripp’s stated route. It
has one of the longest and smoothest landing fields in Al
aska, especially adapted for fast, long cruising range planes.
Several times within the last year, airplane flights from
Nome to Siheria and from Siberia to Nome have been made.
A year ago, the Soviets had a steamer frozen in the Arc
tic Ocean, which was wrecked. Airplanes left Nome for
Siberia and helped transport the one hundred and some odd
passengers, from the Arctic ice floes to the mainland. The
Pacific Alaska Airways, with Harlee Branch, Assistant
Postmaster General, and other officials of the Pan American
Airways, made a special flight to Whalen with mail, pro
bably in the interests of establishing a direct air mail route
to Siberia, from Alaska. This flight took place this fall.
Further flights will probably soon be made and arrange
ments perfected for continuing this route down the Siberian
coast to other terminals of the P. A. A., which have air
way systems established over most of Asia, to be contacted
as soon as the Trans-Pacific route is inaugurated.
Note of progress is always big news. This section
of Alaska has been progresing by leaps and bounds. We
should not be surprised that soon, large fast airplanes will
be flying the mail from Seattle to Nome, and thence across
Bering Sea to Siberia, connecting with Asia and continuing
on to Europe.

Did You Ever Stop To Think
Few people ever stop to think of the work that goes
to make the newspaper the most effective advertising med
ium yet devised in this up-to-the-minute world of ours.
A newspaper is a welcome visitor in every home be
cause it carries such a varied and descriptive interpretation
of every day and world news. Local happenings are avid
ly read by the hometowners at home and away from home.
A newspaper is the most effective advertising medium
because it creates a responsive reception for the advertising
it carries. • That people are more susceptible to the buying
urge in their own paper is a factor that is many times over
looked. Remember—it takes time, money, effort and or
ganization to keep the newspaper the most effective adver
tising medium yet devised.
Obviously there must be something wrong somewhere
with a lot of the political machinery in this country, but
now that the searchlight of investigation has been turned
on by the people, we can hope for some needed changes.
Newspaper advertising gains its popularity because it
appeals to the public by the greatest method which informa
tion can always be communicated—the printed page.
It is a good plan to think before you speak. Some peop
le speak before they think and often cause much grief.
No business man should spend his time talking about
the outlook for business. He should spend his time being
on the outlook for business.
A chronic kicker is sure to let his foot slip some day.
Unless you ask for what you want by name or brand,
don’t blame the merchant for handing you some other
brand. He is not a mind-reader. ’ ■ ,
The live-wire, progressive and forward-thinking busi
ness men of our city are the type of men who believe in
newspaper advertising. Newspaper advertising gives them
an inspiration to do greater things and solves the problems
of quicker turnovers of stocks.
A lot of people in this world think that something is
wrong with everything. No matter how bright the present
and future look, no matter how much brighter it could be
made, they do their gloomy best to make it worse.
