At the present moment we have the case of Colonel
Carl Ben Eielson, the pioneer aviator of Alaska, the
one man to whom all credit is given for placing Alaska
on the air-map. Missing for almost two weeks Aside
from what his own flying pals are doing, what else is
being done? Think it over!
Contrast Alaska’s hay-wire system with that of the
N. W. M. P. When Merrill started his long journey
to Alaska in a small Curtis hydroplane in 1924 he ex
perienced engine trouble south of Ketchikan and was
compelled to taxie into that town. Friends m Seward

and the federal agencies to go to Merrill s aid. Alter
days during which no response was received, a wiie
was dispatched to the Mounted Police at \ ancouver, B.

True, there is little crime in Alaska of the felonious
sort, hut what has happened in the cases of men dis
appearing never to be heard from again is a seale(
book so far as the law-enforcement machinery is con
cerned. How many more cases like Merrill’s, and nov
Eielson’s must arise before common sense over-ride:
