New Trail Be Built by
Forestry Service at Five
Work is progressing rapidly on the
new trail bein gbuilt by the Forestry
Service tapping the Lost Lake coun
try, a short ways from Seward.
The trail starts from the gravel pit
at Mile Five, and about a quarter of a
mile has been completed in the three
days already spent on it. When com
pleted, the trail will be about eleven
miles in length, crossing Lost River
about seven miles from the start of
the trail, and then following up the
far side of the river. The new' enter

to it, hitherto impossible. The region
around Lost lake is one of the best
game districts on the peninsula.

Jones’ Plane Falls
Into Waters of Inlet
ANCHORAGE—Plunging from a
height of forty feet, Roy Trachel, for
mer air service man, late last week,
in the A1 Jones seaplane, crashed head
long into the waters of Cook Inlet,
says the Anchorage Alaskan.
The aviator narrowly escaped death
owing to the low altitude at which he
was flying the plane, as there was no
chance to make a good landing. The
plane lit about 100 feet off shore, di
rectly out from the end of Fourth ave
nue.
In making a turn the plane gradu
ally fell off and then plunged headon
into the water. Owing to the fact that
the tide was just coming in, it was
seen that the plane remained resting
on her nose, and the aviator sitting in
the cock-pit, apparently was not in
jured for he soon clambered out and
stood upon the wings wating for the
rescue parties, rowing out to the dis
abled craft.
The pontoons which were attached
to the plane broke free when the crash
came and were slowly drifting out to
sea when they were rescued by anoth
er boat. A1 Jones, owner of the plane
is under the impression that it is not
seriously damaged, and he will pull
it out as soon as the tide recedes.
Roy Trachel, during the World War,
flew planes, according to Jones and is
an experienced aviator. This type of
machine he was rather unfamiliar with
due to the fact that it had depth con
trols and he had been used to stick
controls.
