jSQUADRON AT RUBY;
MAY HOP TOMORROW
Fort Gibbon, Aug. 26—Ac-!
cording to a statement made
early today by Captain Doug
'las, advance agent of the
;army air squadron, it was the
{intention of Lieut. Kirkpar
jrick to hop from Ruby to
day, landing on a gravel bar
three miles east of Tanana.
It now appears doubtful if
Kirkpatrick will leave Ruby
ahead of the other planes,
or it may be that he will hop
this evening. It is impossible
to get anything definite on
the movements of the out
fit. If Kirkpatrick arrives, it
is the intention of Captain
Douglas to board the plane
for the flight to Fairbanks
tomorrow, and if the plane
does not arrive, the captain
will return/ to Ruby on the
steamer Reliance this even
ing and join the squadron
there.
Captain Douglas has as
sured the people of Tanana
that the planes will fly low
over the town on their way
back to Fairbanks tomorrow.
When enroute to Nome they
iflew ten miles south of Tan
ana, the machines looking
like geese to those who were
able to see them at all. And if
they do not come closer on
the return flight, the people
;here will be very much dis
appointed.
Left Nome Yesterday
Nome, Aug. 26—Three of
the army planes started on
their return flight to the
States at 3:30 yesterday aft
ernoon, and reached Ruby in
safety. Engine trouble pre
vented Captain Street from
getting away with the others
'but it is possible that he will
{hop this afternoon, going
jstraight through to Fair
• banks.
Upon the arrival of the
{squadron at Nome, Captain
jStreet summed up tne re
sults of the trip in the follow
I ■- -
ing words: “W are enthusi
astic over the success of our
flight because we accomplish
ed the impossible. The entire
trip was made with the orig
inal motors and they are run
ning beautifully still.” The
flight, he said further, de
monstrates the feasibility of
the establishment of mail
express and passenger air
routes to Alaska, and he pre
dicts that they will be estab
lished within a short time.
The captain expected to take
his planes west over Cape
Prince of Wales and even
planned a flight to the Siber
ian coast, but his stay was
cut short by orders to re
turn to the States.
New York Pleased
New’ York, Aug. 25—The
news of the arrival of the air
planes at Nome aroused a
lot of enthusiasm among the
members of the Aero Club of
America. “It was a remark
able, epoch-making achieve
ment, which foreshadows bet
ter communication not only
with Alaska but also with
other distant lands. We are
going to urge the govern
ment to establish an aerial
mail route to Nome immed
iately” declaied \ "ustus
Post, secretary of the club.
Nenana May See Them
There is a wire at Ruby,
awaiting the airi/al of the
commander of the aerial
squadron, in which 'be air
men are urged to fly over
Nenana on then* return to
Fairbanks—and to fly low,
so that the people can ob
tain a good view of the ma
chines. The wire was sent
by Mr. Packer yesterday, at
the request of a number of/
Nenanaites and employes of
the commission who were un
able to see the planes when
they were enroute to Nome.
The planes should be along
some time tomorrow.
The Portland received a
shipment of the famous Bud
weiser beer on the Tanana.
It’s on tap today.
