DESCRIPTIVE ACCOUNTS, PUB
LISHED BY GATEWAY, RE
CEIVES RECOGNITION
In the December issue of Aviation
the oldest American aeronautical
magazine, the cover page of the wide
ly read publication contains a pho
tograph of Noel Wien, pilot for the
Fairbanks Airplane Company for the
last two years, landing cn top of an
Interior mountain top.
On an inside page there appears
another photograph of the well known
Alaskan pilot, just after making a
landing in the Endicott mountains, at
a gold camp, 100 miles north of the
Arctic Circle.
Headed by the caption, “Flying In
«the Far North,” the following para
graph is published with this pic
ture:
“Several noteworthy trips were
made last summer by Noel Wien, of
which several interesting and detail
ed articles were published in the Se
ward Gateway, a daily paper issued
at Seward, Alaska. Wien used the
Fokker plane shown in the illustra
tion. On one of these trips, from
Fairbanks to Nome, five people were
carried, giving a total load, including
gasoline, of 1,850 pounds. The field
from which the take-off was made
was only 1,300 feet long. On the
return flight the Yukon was so high
that there was no sandbars in sight,
■so the 550 miles was made non-stop
in seven hours. On another trip
from McGrath to Nome, three pas
sengers, their baggage and 200 pounds
of gold dust, valued at $47,000, were
carried. The landing field at Mc
Grath is a sand-bar on the Kusko
kwum river. The distance from Nome
is about 2S0 miles and Wien made
five round trips there during the sea
son.
Mrs, F. E. Stone, wife off the for
mer agent of the Alaska Railroad,
accompanied by her small son, ar
rive in town tomorrow, passengers

passed through Seward a month ago
in company with G. Lionel Whit
worth, English mining man, bound
for Fairbanks where he is now em
ployed on Fish creek, where the big
company is erecting a mammoth
dredge.

Those student editors of the Univer
sity who quit their posts because they
were criticised selected the wrong
calling. If every editor should quit
when he was criticised there would be
no papers issued.

Mosquitoes Cropping Out
Along Railroad Points
Reports from various points up the
line, brought to Seward within the
past few days, are to the e*fifecit the
spring weather of the past month is
responsible for the early swarms of
mosquitoes which are now on the
job. Cotton tails are bursting into
bloom and vegetables of every des
cription are being grown in Seward
gardens so one can almost take it for
granted that spring is here. Those
mosquitoes, however, should hunt
their holes.
Of 900 convicts admitted to Sing
Sing last year 800 had only a primary
school education or less and virtually
none were college graduates. Yet 540
of them were under 30 or within the
generation in which high school and
college education have been easily
open to everybody. Evidently the
much-vaunted moral decay of our high
er educational institutions is a fic
tion.
