FAIRBANKS-NOME
FLIGHT JUNE 4-5
WITH NEW PLANE
The seven-passenger monoplane
which was sent to Fairbanks yester
day from Seward attached to the
regular passenger train, is expected
to be completely assembled by to
morrow (Wednesday), and make its
initial flight in the Territory. At
least that is what Pilot Wien, who
spent the week-end in Seward, hopes.
Only a short test flight will be made
for, while he was in New York last
winter, he thoroughly tested out the
big shop to his satisfaction, both solo
and with passengers.
Either on inursuay or rnuay 01
this week, Pilot Wien said he hoped
to hop off for the first airplane flight
from Fairbanks to Nome. A num
ber of reservations have been made
for sometime for this trij) which will
take approximately six hours. The
distance measured by an air line
from Fairbanks to Nome is about
500 miles, he said. Norman Stines,
head of the big Fairbanks dredging
company, has stated his intention of
making several trips to Nome, via
the air, this season. He will be a
passenger on the first trip.
It is anticipated that the mono
plane will be flown to Seward this
summer, the aviator continued, for
last season the airplane company had
a coupler of opportunities to convey
passengers to the coast. This sea
son they expect to take advantage of
these offers. Aviator Wien stated to
The Gateway Sunday that he is un
der the impression he will fly the
big plane down to Anchorage from
Fairbanks on the Fourth of July, for
exhibition purposes. If it were pos
sible he would like very much to
make the short flight to Seward at
that time.
Pilot Wien was just as disappoint
ed as Seward citizens when he found
out upon his arrival here last Satur
day, that it would be impossible to
fly the ship from Seward to Fair
banks. The flight would have taken
about four and one-half hours, he
said. He had intended to set his
course following the railroad, as
near as possible, with the exception
of eliminating the big curvature
near Anchorage. Upon taking off
from Seward he would have flown
to about 8,000 feet altitude, in or
der to clear some of the mountains
further inland. He estimated he
would have to rise to an altitude of
at least 4,000 feet to clear these
mountains adjacent to this city. When
crossing mountain ranges he said,
it was best to be flying at least at
the same height of the mountains on
account of the existing air currents.
DONHOES RETURN.
Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Donoboe and
daughter, Ruth, returned to Cordova
on the steamship Alaska, after spend
ing the winter in California.
City Clerk J. P. Hannon calls at
tention of local contractors to the ad
vertisement appearing in today’s pa
per for furnishing the labor for build
ing an addition to the college, and a
dormitory and power plant at Fair
banks. This is a good job for some
carpenter. Mr. Hannon has plans and
specifications at his office.
Capt. O. A. Johansen of the steam
ship Starr, reminded the Gateway yes
terday that certain petitions to be cir
culated by him for the Chamber of
Commerce had never been received,
and that he would sail next Monday
for the westward. “These petitions
should be out now,” said Capt. Johan
sen.
Clifford Lang is reported to be im
proving steadily after ten days of
serious illness.
