With a view to bring
ing speedy relief in the case of
a future outbreak of contagious
diseases among the people ol
Alaska during the closed season
of navigation, the Coast Guard
is considering plans for the use
of airplanes in northern waters.
President Coolidge a few days
ago sent to Congress his approv

sel to replace the old cutter Bear.

and storage facilities for the acc
ommodation of two planes, which
will be used to fly from the edgo

eel with pontoons, wiieels aim
skiis, so that it will be possible
to land them either on water,

used, too, for the purpose oi
making surveys of ice condit

delivering supplies and mail to
government schools and 1 eind^er
stations north of Nome. During
the summer the vessel is used as
a floating court and it has been
the duty of the commander to
dispense justice among the Esk
imos arm whites in that region.
On many occasions the ship'
has had to battle through ice for
hundreds of miles.
