ALASKA INTERESTS AT
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
By W. A. S.
(Special Correspondence)
Washington, D. C.
June 15, 1931
Alaska was given consider
able publicity the other morn
ing by a Washington newspa
per in referring to the letter
and maps sent by Delegate
Wiekersham to Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh, suggesting the ad
visability of making his flight
to Asia via Alaska. The Col.
has indicated that he will
make the flight early in July,
and has under consideration
four different routes, with the
probability that however he
goes, it will be in a sea plane
equipped with pontoons, which
could land on rivers and lakes
and would be as safe to de
scend on land as if the plane
had wheels. The one route the
Lindberghs are considering
and which would not favor
Alaska is via Greenland and
Spitzbergen, up in the Arctic,
then to the northern European
mainland—Norway or Russia—
and then down and across 4,
500 miles of Asia. The other
routes that they are consider
ing are First-across the United
States or Canada, up the Pac
ific coast to Alaska, along the
Aleutian Islands to the Kam
chatka Peninsula of Siberia,
and down the Japanese Kurile
Islands to Japan proper. Sec
ond—to Alaska as in the above
route, then up beyond the Ber
ing sea across the narrow Ber
ing Strait to the Siberian main
II!
through Canada to Hudsons
Bay, then along the Northern
' coast of Canada to Alaska
and Siberia.
P. N. Neal, who has travel
led all over Alaska as a post
office inspector for many years
past, was in Washington last
week. While here he took up
the matter with the Depart
ment of filling the site and
surroundings, for a park, in
connection with the new post
office or Federal building at
Ketchikan. The sum of $10,
000 has been appropriated for
filling of site, which will be
done by the Board of Engin
eers under Major Elliott. There 1
has been allocated for the
building, but not yet appropri
ated, $400,000. In a visit to the
Supervising Architect’s office I
Mr. Neal found that the blue
prints and specifications had !
not yet been completed for the j
Fairbanks public building,
with the probability that bids
would not be received and con
tract awarded until possibly j
too late to do much work on
the building this season.

I
The Land Office has advised I
Nils Andreas Olsen, of Ketch-1
ikan, that his homestead entry
has been favorably considered
and patent issued.
The Washington Herald on
Friday published an illustra
tion of the diving bell that is
now trying to reach the Steam
ship Islandor, which sank in
Alaskan waters in 1901, with
78 passengers and $3,000,000
in gold.
