ANOTHER OCEANIC FLIGHT
Raymond Orteg, whose $25,000 prize for the comple
tion of a nonstop flight between New York and Paris in
a heavier-than-air-machine has inspired all the efforts to
span the ocean by airplane, is authority for the announce
ment that another such flight will be attempted this fall.
The aviators will be French, Paul Tarascon and. Capt.
Francisco Coli, the start will be made from Paris, and
the machine they will use has been completed and is now
being tuned up.
The date chosen is October 21, tomorrow, upon which
date the aviators feel “the moon is in the right phase.”
This is the second time Coli and Tarascon have planned
the flight, the previous attempt having been made in the
fall of 1925. On September 26, last year, their plane had
been completed and was being tested when it struck the
tops of a clump of trees while flying in a rain squall,
crashed to the ground and burned up. Tarascon’s experi
ence was somewhat similar to Capt. Fonck’s. He was
pulled from the wreck of the burning plane just in time to
save his life.
Both these fliers have enviable records. They are
among the pioneers of French aviation. Tarascon lost a
leg in a crash in 1912, but wag allowed to enlist in 1914. At
the end of the war he was officially listed wdth the first
five French aces. Coli, likewise, was a member of the
French forces during the war, and lost an eye in action.
It is hoped that success will attend their efforts.
SEND MARQUAM TO WASHINGTON
TKe various issues of the delegate campaign have
been set forth so often during the last sixty days that the
ordinary mortal is perhaps sick and tired of all this poli
tical talk, but don't forget for one moment it has become
wearisome to those who have carried it on. The only rea
son they have carried on, particularly the newspapers of
the Territory, is because they are fighting for the welfare
of their country—Alaska.
The Alaskan newspapers do not always coincide with
the sentiments and voice of the people but, the greater
portion of the time they do otherwise, they would not be
in business. So it can be taken as an assured fact that
with all the Alaskan papers backing up the candidacy of
Thos. A. Marquam, for delegate to congress, they are
voicing the pent up feeling of the majority.
If there ever was a time for a change in Alaskan af
fairs it is now. All we want to see is the country go ahead.
And the only answer to this, at this time, is send Mar
quam to Washington.
Judging from this distance, away up here in Alaska,
if the State of Washington is purchasing hat racks, mere
six foot planks with hooks in them for $180 per, and spi
toons—pardon—cuspidors, at $75 per, maybe Governor
Hartley has a perfect right to upset the apple cart.
The court rules today that the undraped figure is art.
Well, art has always been a little naughty, but only of late
has naughtiness got by as art.
Now the girls can see for themselves if those beauty
aid Queen Marie indorses really do anything worth
while.

MORE ONRADIO MAN
(Continued from Page One)
Akiak by telephone failed on account
of a short circuit on the line. Satur
day night however, the government
radio station at Iditarod reported him
“silent” to headquarters at Seward,
and Sunday inquiries were begun to
ascertain whether or not Estle had
for some unknown reason stopped on
the way home. Then it was learned
that an hour or two after his depar
ture the Kuskokwim froze solid, that
the freeze must, have forced him
ashore in a very desolate region or
wrecked his frail craft.
Searching parties were organized
but did not leave until Monday, await
ing word from the Signal Section
headquarters, here in Seward, to pro
ceed and that sufficient time had
elapsed for him to have mushed thru
to his station. The word came and
several men fully equipped to remain
in the field for a week, have departed
and are now working their way slow
ly down the river scanning the ice and
watching the banks carefully for
tracks or signs of a landing. The riv
er has several huge bends between
Akiak and Bethel and it is possible
that Estle still is fighting his way
home in bitter weather, or “holed up”
with some trapper or Indian family
until the temperature moderates.
Estle is 24 years old and the son of
Ira T. Estle of Lafayette, Pa. He is
married and has a small daughter, his
family residing in the States. He
has an excellent record both as a sol
dier and as a radio operator.
Capt. Ralph R. Guthrie, officer in
charge of this, the second section.
W. A. M. C. and T. system, head
quarters, stated to The Gateway last
evening that he still has hopes that
Estle is alive basing his opinion on
the fact that soldiers are pretty well
trained to take care fo themselves,
also from the fact Estle knows that
particular part of Alaska very well.
