By Air To Alaska
The Army Air Service is,
showing commendable inia
tive, says the Boston Tran
script, in arranging for a
flight by army planes from
New York to Nome, Alaska.
Over the greater part of the
8970 miles to Nome, the ma
chines will be blazing a pio
neer trail. The vast stretch
of the Canadian Rockies,
and the wilderness of the in
terior of Alaska, have never
been the field in a similar
test of the skill and daring
of the twentieth century air
men. The difficulties to be
overcome in the New York
Alaska flight are, in a real
sense, of the same brand
that faced the continent con
quering frontiersmen of the
eighteenth and early nine
teenth centuries. There are
the same perils that come to
those who venture into an
imperfectly known wilder
ness. There are the same
hazards of storms and the
treachery of the elements.
The danger of Indian am
bush and attack alone has
been spared the army aviat-i
ors, a fact which is counter
balanced, in some degree by1
the mechaanical perils of a
science in its infancy.
The New York-Nome flight
will result in bringing far
away Alaska closer than ever
before to the continental
United States. The success
of the army flight will de
monstrate the feasibility of
direct and regular air com
munication to Alaska. It will
make easier the establish
ment of commercial and post
al air routes, by which the
inhabitants in •’he remote
Anaska fastnesses /ill be
able to get news and rr aili
from the United States'
while both are fresh. Byj
present means of communi
cation, most points in Alaska!
are approximately thirty orj
more days from the United;
States. If established, com-j
munication by air would be!
possible in but a fraction of
this time, to the great profit
and joy of the American citi
zens who live under the
Stars and Stripes in far-off
Alaska.
In trying to prove the
practicability of air com
munication with Alaska, the
Army Air Force is render
ing a real service to the na
tion. It is demonstrating in
practical fashion, that the
army is not something apart
from the nation, unrelated
to its daily life. On the con
trary, the army is revealed
as dedicated to the service
of the American people in
peace no less than in war.
Such flights as these give
promise of advancing mater
ially the well-being of the
hundred million and more
persons who owe allegiance
jto the American flag. At the
Isame time, they help to keep
up a high pitch of profess
ional fitness among the men
in the air service or the army
organization, and maintain
their preparedness to meet
the supreme test of war.
The Candidates
Governor Cox and Senator
Harding are personal friends
points out an exchange, and
each has profound respect
for the other, and each has!
given expression to that feel
ing of friendship and re
spect. Here is what Senator
Harding has said of Govern
or Cox:
“1 don’t know what he
thinks of me, but Cox is a
shrewd man, possessor of
great political wisdom, and i
has made a very able gov-|
ernor of Ohio, whom the j
people like and approve. He
has done many things in
Ohio. Cox is smart. He un
derstands politics. He makes
a very impressive speech. I
have great respect for his
newspaper ability.
Governor Cox has this to
say of Senator Harding:
“Harding is a man of great
personal charm. Strange as
convictions may appear to
me, he is perfectly sincere
in his belief that the future
welfare of the country lies
in the custodianship of the'}
Republican party under the i
policies which he represents.!
He is of the McKinley type,!
brought up on the Old Guard;
Republican faith. I respect;
his journalistic achievements
but we stand very far apart.”
That the fisheries of
Alaska should be put under
the control of a commission!
either such a commission as'
that proposed in the so-called
Alaska Development Board
Bill or a separate commis
sion which would report di
rectly to the President and
not to a Cabinet officer is the
opinion of Col. E. Lester!
Jones, Director of the Coast
and Geodetic Survey, who'
investigated the Alaska Fish
eries seven years ago and
made a report upon them.
Col. Jones was asked for
his opinion by representative
of the Juneau Empire, be
cause of the fact that he
made the investigation refer
red to and has been deeply
interested in Alaskan de
velopment. In his report.
Col. Jones warned the people
that unless something was
done to protect the fisheries
industry it would be de
stroyed.
Col Jones says a commis
sion or development board
would not be worth much to
the people if appeal could be
made to a Cabinet officer.
He says in that case the

Cabinet officer ould report
the matter to the bureau for
report, just as at present,
and Alaska would be in the
same predicament as it is
now in. It would mean only
the addition of another link
to the chain of red tape.
DOGS KILL YOUTH
ON NUSHAGAK TRAIL
Denis McLean, a five-year
old boy at Nushagak, son of
Alex McLean, a former
school teacher and a brother
to Hector and Donald Mc
Lean, of Valdez, was attack
ed and killed April 1 by a
sled team of three dogs
which he was driving in
company with his aunt, Mrs.
Berglund, according to a let
ter received at Valdez by the i
marshal’s office. The dogs
turned on the drivers and
pulling young McLean off
the sled, tore him nearly to
pieces before his aunt could
interfere. The distracted
woman rushed to the lad’s
assistance, but the wild ani
mals turned on her and tore
nearly all her clothes from
her body before she could
escape. She ran a short dis
from the team and fainted.
Upon reviving she ran for
assistance and when a num
ber of men arrived and beat
the dops off their prey it was
found that they had eaten
the flesh of his head and
neck, and partialy dismem
bered the body. The woman
says the boy was dead before
she got away from the team.
