No finer example cf the val
ue of air traL portation in Alas
ka could be forthcoming than
was displayed in a recent an
nouncement of Pilot Bob Reeve
of the Reeve Airways that dur
ing the 75 days preceding the
breakup lost spring he trans
ported 88,300 pounds of min
ing machinery and supplies by
p'ane from Valdez to outlying
points in that section.
Two hundred and thirty-one

period. All the freight con
sisted of mining supplies and
included such diversified com
modities as 80 barrels of diesel

mill, mining timbers, building
mateiials, sheet steel and tin,
steel pipe, powder, an air com
pressor, mine hoists, and other
miscellaneous supplies, in . d
do ion to food products ai.ci

freight was lost through dam

cieeks beds, on lakes and over

GCVT. COLONIZATION
IN ALASKA RECEIVING
ATTENTION OF ERA
Flans for colonization in
Alaska have been submitted to
the federal relief administra
tion and are receiving attention
from that department, accord
ing ib a recent statement by
Joseph Baker, assistant feder
al emergency relief adminis
trator, during a 13-day trip to
the Territory.
The department has as yet
no set scheme, Mr. Baker said,
but indicated keen interest in
one plan now before his de
partment concerning coloniz
ation along the Alaska Rail
road. He also wanted to knfbw
what facilities there are for
numbers of small homes in
Alaska. He said the usual pro
eeedure was for itowns to ac
quaint the department with
land available in their immedi
ate districts and indicated that
in this way practical cooper
ation was more apt to be se
cured for actual needs in indi
cated areas.
E. A. Steiner, former resident
of the Territory, is reported
hopeful of interesting the
emergency relief administra
tion in a cooperative colony.
Steiner, who spent ‘:ome time
in Washington during the sum
mer, proposes to borrow money
from the ERA to establish a
colony made up of people re
cruited chiefly from Minneso
ta. The colony would repay
the iban over a period of years.
Steiner claimed ithat enough
people to create a good-sized
community have signified their
eagerness to go to Alaska.
o
Dimcnd Leaving For Home
A. J. Dimond, Alaska dele
gate to congress, was scheduled
to leave Washington for Alas
ka today, according 60 advices
from Juneau.
The delegate’s visit will be
the first he has made to his
homeland since taking over the
duties cf his office in 1932.
During the interval he has ac
complished much in the way of
eg.' lative benefits for the
Territory and hais displayed
qualities of ability and energy
which have won him unstinted
praise from Alaskans of every
shade of political complexion.
It is apparently the general
view that Alaska never had a
more able and industrious rep
re entative in Congress.
