Says Juneau Making Progress
Juneau is going ahead by
leaps and bounds, in spite of
depressed conditions, accord
ing to Warren S. Harding, for
mer local representative of the
U. S. Marshal’s office, who is
now in the capital city.
Mr. Harding writes to local
friends that there are 20 bar
ber shops doing business there
and $42,000 is being spent on
filling and grading Willough
by Avenue, one of the import
ant thoroughfares. Beer is
selling at 10 cents a glass, and
a very large glass, too, and
beer signs seem to adorn every
other business establishment in
town, Mr. Harding says. He
reports having encountered
various people from Hyder
since his arrival there October
10 and they all appear happy
and claim to be doing well.
Mr. Harding is slated to take
a position in the Juneau feder
al jail this month.
New York to Nome
Three Days Trip
From New York~or any j
other eastern city—to Nome in
three days.
Such a trip will be easily
possible next summer, accord
ing to Nick Bez, president of
the Alaska Southern Airways,
operating between Southeast
Alaska points, says a Wash
ington, D. C., report.
Mr. Bez told Washington
correspondents how it will be
easily possible 'to be in Nome
on the third day after leaving
New York, traveling only over
established commercial air
lines.
Let us say a person Nome
ward-bound steps into a plane
Monday morning at New York.
In 24 hours, or slightly less,
he will have arrived in Seat
tle. Incidentally, he need do
night traveling to complete
his trip on schedule. From
Seattle he flies on to Juneau,
a trip of about nine hours.
Tuesday night he remains in
Juneau and early Wednes
day morning he is off for Fair
banks. With the fast planes
which will be in service it
should not take more than six
hours for that leg of the flight
and then he can continue di- I
rectly to Nome, arriving there j
Wednesday evening.
This will be made possible,
Mr. Bez says, when Alaska !
Southern Airways inaugurates
a regular service next May
between Seattle and Juneau
and other Southeastern Alaska
cities. It is undarstanding i
that similar service will also |
be provided between Juneau
and Fairbanks and, of course,
several lines operate from
Fairbanks to Nome.
