DOUGLAS BAYS ANCHORAGE
A GOOD TOWN TO TIB TO
If any further evidence was need
ed that Anchorage is a good town to
tie to, it has been supplied in the
fact that Captain "Sid” Barrington,
of Seattle, has located there and is
building a new steamer for use on
short runs in the waters of that por
tion of Alaska. Captain Barrington
has been on the Yukon for eighteen
years and during that time he has
worked both for and against the old
line companies operating there and
has never failed to make good and
make money at the same time. He
is always ready to umpire a ball
game or referee a prize fight and
is just as ready to contract for hand
ling a thousand tons of freight. He
is a live one and Anchorage is to be
congratulated that he will make that
town his home port for a time.
Captain Barrington makes friends
everywhere and the fact that his
word is as good as his bond is his
principal asset.—Douglas News.

SAYS WE’LL HAVE
TO WATCH JAPS
LONDON, June 17.—Pemberton
Billlng, who is trying to awaken
England in the matter of the mas
:ery of the air and who made the
charge in the British parliament, to
which he had recently been elected,
chat British airmen were being mur
lered, wore a purple dressing gown
and called me “old sport” as he sat
it his breakfast table, being inter
viewed.
"Have you ever been in the
United States?”
“Yes.”
'Do you suppose the United States
could be wakened up in the matter
of air service?”
“Not until you begin to get some
hard bumps. You’ll get them some
day, too, from the Japanese.”
Pemberton-Billing has raised such
a tumult, conversationally, in Eng
land about the air service that his
ideas of how great and extensive the
air service should be made are of in
terest. He believes that it can be
made more powerful than any navy.
“I contemplate a force of 100,000
aeroplanes soon and a torce of 350,
000 within the next ten years, in
general there ought to be five differ
ent kinds of aeroplanes. First, there
will be a scout, small, and very fast.
Another will be a heavier machine,
armored, for bomb dropping, carry
ing, perhaps, one bomb. The third
sort will be a cheap and large ma
chine, made in vast quantities, for
ordinary battle purposes. A trans
port aeroplane will rank next in im
portance. It will be capable of car
rying from 15 to 25 men from one
part of a battle line to another and
also of moving guns, ammunition
and other supplies; it will probably
have five or six decks. Such a ma
chine would rank with the army mo
torbus.
“There are going to be huge bat
tleplanes in the future that will
tarry batteries of perhaps four live
inch guns or three six-inch guns
with tire control like battleships and
ivith a captain and crew.
“Get your army and your navy,
:oo, into the sky. Make your enemy
tome into the sky to fight. Move
rour troops in the sky; feed them in
he sky; let them live in the sky.
lust as Napoleon used to force his
ipponents to give battle on fields
which he himself had selected, so let
he generals of the war-to-be force
heir enemies to come up into the
iky to meet them.”
This is the philosophy of Pember
on-Billing’s campaign. He has a
iery definite idea of the plane that
.vould be made for the use of the
irdinary “infantrymen” of the sky,
he machine that would make up the
julk of the sky flotilla.
“We would stamp the wings out
if metal, by the thousands. The
;>arts would be standardized. The
Frames would be of steel tubing and
the things could be put together
ijuickly, strongly; and scientifically,
like you in America put together
your small, popular automobiles that
you make by the thousands. The
pre-war cost of such aeroplanes
would have been about a thousand
dollars apiece.”
“But could you develop pilots to
man so many air machines?”
“I can guarantee to develop five
thousand pilots in England within
the next six months. I would use a
cycle track, an automobile speedway
and a riding track for horses."
SEEKING SPECIMENS
EOR NATURAL HISTORY
Harold F. McCracken, archaeolog
ical assistant at the Ohio State uni
versity, Columbus, Is at McCarthy to
head an expedition which will at
tempt to scale Mount Logan, and
will cover the St. Elias range in
search of specimens for a natural
history department to be added to
the Ohio state museum.
Mr. McCracken will try to get
Kodiak brown bear, mountain sheep,
mountain goat, caribou and moose
for groups in the new department, as
well as specimens of a number of
smaller species. He represents also
the Museum of Natural History of
New York. An attempt will be
made to establish the identity of the
blue glacier bear.
The scientist will leave McCarthy
with three white guides and live In
dians. He expects to be gone at
least a year and during his trip will
gather material for a book.
