WOMAN MAKES
RECORD“MUSH'
FROM NENANA
ANCHORAGE, Feb. 6 (Special to
the Dally Times).—Averaging about
eighteen and one-half miles a day in
bad weather and over a rough trail,
Mrs. W. A. Ryan, a cheechako from
Washington, D. C., established for a
woman a new record for “mushing”
between ends of steel on the Fair
banks and Anchorage divisions of the
government railroad. She made 147
miles in eight days. She began her
dog-sled journey at Mile 373, which is
the southern end of track in the Fair
banks division, and ended it at Mile
226, Talkeetna, which is the northern
end of track in the Anchorage divi
sion. She experienced weather as
cold as 40 degrees below zero. At this
temperature, on three nights, she was
unable to reach roadhouses because
of having been delayed in her sched
ule by snow-obliterated trail, and was
compelled to sleep in the open—
“Riwash” it.
Mrs. Ryan was accompanied on her
trip by her husband, who is examiner
of accounts in the office of the sec
retary of the interior at Washington,
D. C., and by G. H. Gamble, who is
connected with the Washington office
of the Alaskan engineering commis
sion. After having been at Nenana
several days on official business, Mr.
Ryan and Mr. Gamble, with Mrs.
Ryan, took the train from there to
Mile 375, the southern end of steel
in the Fairbanks division. Their dog
slcd trip of 147 miles over the trail
was without mishap. At Mile 226,
Talkeetna, the northern end of steel
in the Anchorage division, they
boarded a train for Anchorage.
On the voyage north from Seattle
both Mr. Ryan and Mr. Gamble were
accompanied by their wives. At Cor
dova Mr. and Mrs. Ryan and Mr.
Gamble left the north-bound steam
ship to take the Copper River &
Northwestern railroad to CUitina, and
from there the trail to Nenana. Mrs.
Gamble remained on the vessel until
it reached Seward, where she disem
barked and came to Anchorage over
the route of the Seward-Anchorage
line of the government railroad. She
awaited in Anchortfcfcithe arrival of
Mr. Gamble from Nenana.
Mr. Ryan ad Mr. Gamble came to
Anchorage on official business in con
nection with the Anchorage division
of the railroad.

FOG AND STORM
WEATHERED
BY AIRPLANES
MANCHESTER, England, Jan. 2
(Correspondence of the Associated
Press).—Within the next six months
the allies should reach an agreement
regulating commercial traffic in the
air, and within the next five years it
should be as easy and as safe to pilot
an airplane through fog and storm as
it is to pilot a ship, asserted Lord
Weir, secretary of state for air forces,
before an audience here the other day.
| In order that ambitious projects now
being discussed might be entirely suc
cessful, he said, these things were
necessary:
Development of navigational in
struction by really sound and severe
navigational training.
Creation of an energetic metero
logical service especially designed to
help air transport.
The adoption of improved systems
of wireless telegraphy and telephony.
The adoption of a first-class system
of day and night marking of landing
places and airdromes.
“We now possess in substantial
numbers, either delivered or in course
of construction, airplanes which will
carry a crew of seven and thirty pas
sengers; which will climb to a height
of 10,000 feet, and which will travel
1,200 miles without a stop,” said Lord
Weir. “One type can come down at
sea, float on the waves and rise again
with .a fill! load.
“We have machines that can land
safely at definitely gliding angles en
tirely without human control. This
means that when the pilot can set
his instruments by means of a kite
balloon anchored in clear air, he will
be able to land with safety in an air
drome completely fog-bound.”
Lord Weir made it very plain that
he did not think the best ends of civ
ilization would be served by keeping
civil aviation for a government mo
nopoly. Co-operation between the
state and individuals, he believed,
would bring the best results. The
state would of necessity be the pio
neer, and from the present air minis
try would spring an air department
of the government which not only
would cbntrol the administration of
the Royal air forces, the fighting air
branch of the British army and navy,
but would act as the supreme author
ity for the development of civil avia
tion.
“The first step of the new ministry
would be the organization of interna
tional flying—that is, flying among the
different countries. This would in
volve an international aircraft con
vention.
"Already we have drafted the arti
cles of this convention, and they are
now being submitted to our allies,”
continued Lord Weir. "If they sub
stantially approve it, an international
air conference will be held. I have
reason to anticipate that within the
next four or five months the princi
pal nations of the world will have
reached agreement on this momentous
matter.
uumcowi; ICglDiaUUU Will
have to be enacted to govern flying
in this country. The bill has been
prepared, and I anticipate that wiithin
a few weeks of the opening of the
new parliament a useful act will come
into force. Until this convention and
this domestic legislation become oper
ative there can be no private flying
at all, either international or in this
country. It would be unfortunate if
the development of civil aviation were
retarded owing to the effects of a
series of fatal accidents due to the
lack of absolutely necessary regula
tions.
“The state should require in per
manence a large proportion of the ex
isting military airdromes, and should
render them available for general use
by leasing sheds to private opera
tional companies, and merely charging
a fee for landing.
“The department should undertake
the training of all pilots to be em
ployed on public transport service
and map out and light the aerial
routes. The department should be
ready to undertake mail, freight and
passenger services when private en
terprise may be found lacking.
“From the superabundance of ma
chines at its disposal upon the con
clusion of peace, and suitable to con
version for commercial use, the state
should be ready to dispose of a con
siderable number at a low price to
private operating companies.”
Lord Weir frankly admitted the
scheme would cost a lot of money ac
cording to pre-war standards, but said
the expense would be very little when
compared with the standards set by
war.
