GELLES ARRIVES
FROM KENAI VIA
CURTIS PLANE
TRIP FROM KENAI TO SEWARD
MADE IN 1'/2 HOURS—WILL
RETURN FOR MAN.
Gus Gelles, the first traveling sales
man to use the airplane in calling
on his trade in this district of Al
aska, arrived in Seward via the air
at 1:30 o’clock this afternoon in
the Curtis seaplane with Pilot Mer
rill at the wheel. The trip to Sew
ard from Kenai was made in one
and one-half hours, the air travelers
taking the air at 12 noon today. Avi
ator Davis was left behind at Kenai
owing to the inability of the plane
to rise from the water on account of
lack of wind. Pilot Merrill will hop
off at about 3 o’clock this afternoon
for Kenai to pick up his team-mate.
They should return to Seward about
8 o’clock this evening.
Mr. Gelles is remaining in Seward
overnight and then expects to take
the air again tomorrow bound for
Kodiak, thence to Seldovia. From the
latter point Pilot Merrill will fly
him to Russian river on Saturday
where Mr. Gelles will spend the re
mainder of the day fishing. A par
ty of Anchorage fishermen are plan
ning going to the river on Saturday
to greet the arrival of the plane and
also to get in a good day’s fishing.
“I never saw so many lakes in all
my life,” Mr. Gelles stated, shortly
after he stepped ashore from the
plane. “We were flying over the
mountains sometimes at an altitude
of 7,000 feet and from this height
dozens of lakes could be seen in
any direction. Apparently the noise i
from the exhaust frightened the wild j
game for I closely scanned the moun
tains and hills for game but missed
seeing ^ny. If anyone wants to see
something new, and experience a
never-to-be-forgotten thrill, I suggest
they *take an extended airplane trip.
I myself, have just started on them.
It wonderful.”
Mr. Gelles is a guest at the Van
Gilder.
