FLYING WESTWARD
Speaking of new air routes in Alaska, there are a
couple out of Seward, to the Westward and southwest
ward, that seem not to have claimed the attention they
deserve but which will undoubtedly come in for a try
out during the spring when Seward's new airplane
landing field will probably be completed. We speak of
the route to Bristol Bay over tlie liiamna country and
the route to Kodiak and Southwestward towns of the
peninsula. There will be much air business done over
those routes e?er long. Meilick at Sand Point proposes
to establish an airmail service from that port to the var
ious islands adjacent. This will be the forerunner of
other services, without a doubt. A local business man is
considering the purchase of a plane for commercial
work and it is also reported a plane from the Prince
William Sound area may locate here next spring.
The bulk of the business wall be done in the summer j
time, of course, at which time flying conditions are the j
best and travel the heaviest, but there will always be
considerable winter business during the fur season.
And such a service would stimulate more business.
There are many canneries out to the Westward
and when the season is on there is a surprising activity
in small boat chartering simply for transferring mes
sages or getting in touch with the nearest radio station.
There is considerable court business to be transacted,
people are continually being injured with need of being
rushed to the hospital; there is frequent need of small
machinery parts or. equipment that might only be pro
cured in Seward and which could easily be transferied
by plane.
There should be unlimited appeal to tourists who
would like to make a trip over the Valley of Ten
Thousand Smokes, where natural landing _ fields are
said to exist; there are new mining propositions to the
Westward that will feel the need of quick communica
tion; hunting parties will be quick to take advantage
of planes.
Winter conditions for flying are not so good but
they are no worse than the conditins encountered by the
airmail from San Francisco to New York nearly every
day of the winter when storms are met over^the Sierra
Nevada mountains between California and Nevada, the
Wasatch in Utah, or the blizzards of Wyoming and Ne
braska
Thru the liiamna country*to Bristol Bay there is a
rich fur harvest and from Kodiak out along the penin
sula. A big traffic in furs would reward an airplane ser
vice. There will be a lot of airplane riding to these
points alone, not including Interior Alaska, when those
people are given a chance.
SAWYER SELLING ALASKA
The Gateway wishes to take this opportunity to
doff the derby to" Ernest Walker Sawyer, executive sec
retary to the Secretary of the Interior, who, since his
visit to Alaska last summer, has been the most consis
tent worker for the betterment of Alaska, that this
paper can recall of the multitude of government offi
cials who have promised so much and then forgotten
all about the Territory soon after their return to Wash
ington.
But not so with this man Sawyer. When up here he
informed us of a lot of things we had known Alaska
should have had for years and he also told us of many
other items in line with immediate progress for Alaska.
But unlike the other esteemed gentlemen Sawyer has
and it “hitting the ball on the nose” consistently since
his return and undoubtedly has stimulated not only de
partments to step out and “play ball’ with him but has
revived nation-wide interest through the constant
stream of articles, pertinent to Alaska, which have come
from his office. Not a mail arrives but what our atten
tion is attracted to various newspaper and magazine ac
counts eminating from him.
May his interest never wane!
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct., 25, (/P)—
The Stanford Cardinals and the
Trojans of the U. S. C., tuned as
crucial mid-season clashes, were
preparing for the battle of the un
known.
Howard Jones is here with what
is conceded to be the best squad he
has ever produced at Southern Cal
ifornia. His men, after getting
the feel of the turf at Stanford
Stadium, will retreat to San Jose,
the southern contingent, according
to reports.
Stanford is the favorite by the
betting public at 10 to eight.
ARRIVES AHEAD SCHEDULE
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct., 25, (/P)—
Japan’s newest ocean gray-hound
the N Y. K. Motorship Asama-Maru
was hailed by San Francisco. The
$600,000 vessel, completing her
maiden voyage to the California
coast, arrived a full day ahead of
her schedule, by way of Honolulu.
The time was two and onq-half
days less than the voyage ever had
been made before by a commercial
steamer.
The district court party is due
to return to Seward Monday from !
Anchorage and resume pending !
cases.
NECOTllNSilB
in LOCAL WOMEN
MAY PLAY ANCHORAGE
The basketball season has opened
with a big show of pep, on the part
of the ladies of Seward. Seventeen
ladies were present Thursday even
ing, at the Seward Athletic Club
hall ,when the first practice of the
season was held.
Two-divisions girls’ rules was the
type of ball introduced at the prac- !
tice, and this newer game for girls
which makes for a fast, clean game,
seemed to go over big with the par
ticipants. Miss Verna Wheeler acted
as referee for two teams which
practiced for two hours.
Mrs. Leonard Hopkins, prominent
and popular Sewardite,, was elected
to captain the team for the 1929-30
season, and a better choice could
not have been made. Mrs. Hopkins
was also named a committee of one
to secure a man coach, as one will
be needed to shape the excellent
material on hand into a fast-mov
ing, accurate-shooting basketball
machine.
Negotiations are now underway
with Anchorage, and, it seems pro
bable that the Seward ladies may
have hte opportunity of meeting
the inland city aggregaton later in
the season. A good basketball sea
son seems in prospect.
Next practice wll be held Wed
nesday evening, at 8:30, at the S.
A. C. hall. Any who did not show
up Thursday evening, and would
like to have a hand in the team, are
urged to come out. A good time
will be had by all.
