AIRE3LANE SERVICE IN
ALASKA
P. G. Noyes is clearing a large
tract on the Garden Island side
of Chena slough at Fairbanks
to be used as a landing field for
airplanes. It is understood that
Mr. No.ves plans to import a
flying machine for commercial
use between that city and the
coast.
It is highly probable that an
airplane service will be in oper
ation in this section some time
next year. Roy bnyder, one of
our business men contemplates
purchasing a machine this win
tei, capable ot carrying two pas
sengers and thousand pounds
of freight. Roy figures on giv
ing the Chisana miners a first
class weekly service and some
of us an occasional trip to the
coast at excursion rates all the
time.
A tax of two cents on bank
checks, a flat tax of $10, on all
automobiles,irrespective of cost
or horsepower, an increase of
first class postage rates to three
cents, and added levy on cigars
tobacco and cigai ettes are under
stood to have been among tax re
visions suggested at Washington

an orchardist will locate where
he can keep his eye on future
crops, and the large office is
evidently planned to accomod
ate those who are interested in
the harvest.
