A posslbliily ilinl tli* ten Irniy
|e.lulling planes wliieh me to tly
from Washing ton. I) < to Fall
hanks, will ilv to Nome became
more asm red lit* week than ever
before._
From several soun ea.—LnXawlW—
lion geefns to Indicate that the
planes will probably base at Fair
banks for a Considerable langtn
of lime, and will then carry on
able-line (lights in their regular
Tonline "
From in for in a lion obtained, if
was learned that about 4fl,ftu0 gal
lon* of gasoline were ordered de
livered to Fairbanks by July 17th;
In the same order was a large
quantify of oils.
The two advance planes of A he
big squadron, which have been hi
lirilish Oulumbia for som%_ lime,
were expei ted to arrive at Falr
banks almost an) day, to make ar
rangements for the accommodation
and storing of equipment when tli
army men get there.
Following the transmission '
soy era! .telngniiiV* io Delegate l)i
mond and the War Department,
agencies In Nome, who have been
working “hIong the lines proposen
some lime ago. reported that the
moat” "feasible way in which tin*
people of Nbhie could get the Army
planea to Nome, would be to wire
directly to Ideutenpnt Colonel
Henry H. Arnold, commanding 'of
ficer of the f!igin.ceQUttdrwti^wffer
the planes arrived at Fairbanks
With respect to the r.'nressus o'
Options of people in *lie interior 1
ul Alaska, it is thei*- belief that!
ibe plane* expect to lemalo in ■
Alaska for gone tine, and will
jrobebly fly to eeveral titles in ■
Alaska before returuaing to tbe
K'ties and bone to Wigh'ngton.
fi C. In view of tbe luge quan
iiy of gasoline ordered, which
uould give each plane Sbout forty j
hours of cruising, this* belief seems j
logical and assured.
Jt was also understood that the
aviators themselves were especially
deeirous ofijlying to Point Har
row, but *i(li their largge planes
it would not seem advisable, due,
[it is reported, to the dffficutie*
<>f landing and taking off at that
point. There is only a "small sand
spit at Harrow where a plane
could land. It is sloping, and If
a cross-wind should come up |lie !
plane woul dhave a great deal o
trouble ending and woud then
[probably never be able to tak'e off
from It# However, that is or them
to choose.
Today the—Drat half of the
largge Held at Nome was offi- '
dally completed and in perfect
condition for use. Aboutu 2200 feet [
iof the Held are completed, re-KgTav
eted, surfaced, graded jind rolled.
The Held looks more like pave
ment than a newly constructed
airplane Held. It Is smooth «nd
level; an ideul place on which t«j
land of take off. There Is more
than enough room for the krm.t
planeb to land and take off In. R*»
