Alaska was consumated, by the
Third Article of that treaty all
subjects of Russia, and their
descendants, who chose to remain
in Alaska, became and are cit
izens of the United States, and it
is but fair to see such persons
have well fulfilled the duties of
citizenship in their adopted
country so far as permitted.
“Alaska still remains a pro
vince, now of the United States
of America. So, there can be no
political significance attached
to our endeavor to welcome you
to Seward. We have no voice in
the affairs of our nation, our
officers are appointed and for
the greater part selected from
continental United States by the
federal sovereignty at Washing
ton.
“However, history and trdition
all make it fitting that we peo
ple here in Alaska tender you
a sincere welcome as an ac
knowledgment of your enter
prise, and as a tribute to your
courage and intrepidity. Who
knows, the names of your com
mander and of his companions
now voyaging into space with
your aeroplane will also be re
corded in history with the names
of those illustrious Russians to
whom I have referred.
“It seems but a short time
ago that the United States Army
fliers, Major Martin, Lieuten
ants Smith, Nelson and Wade,
in the Around the World Flight,
dropped out of the air and moor
ed their craft very close to where
you landed the ‘Land of Soviet*
on the beach here in Seward. As
laymen, without mechanical or
air knowledge, we sense a re
markable advance in the design
and motive power of aircraft. It
has been remarked by many
who saw your flight for some
15 miles coming up the bay with
the wind behind you that your
motors were practically noise
less; we have been with the old
er types of planes advised by the
roar of motors of the coming of
an aeroplane sometime before it
actually appeared.

“We take great pride in our
pioneer Alaska airmen. By rea
son of our location we became
well acquainted with Capt. Hu
bert Wilkins and the personnel
of his expeditions. Of course our
one and only Ben Eileson is
known to you as well as to us.
“The Army World Flight from
Sitka to Seward was dangerous
and made in a -blinding snow
storm. The fliers told here of
their vast relief at having com
pleted what they termed an ex
tremely hazardous flight. How
ever, that flight took place in
early spring. We are all sure
that present indications all point
to an off-shore breeze giving you
excellent weather and most fav
orable flying conditions for ' your
flight, from Seward to Sitka.
“We wish you to land there
in safety; and as you depart
from Alaska to continental Unit
ed States, let us assure you that
you carry with you the friendly
wishes of this community: that
we will follow with great interest
the course of your flight to New
York; that you will there meet
our congratulations from this
side of the World. We are confi
dent in the successful culmina
tion of your undertaking. For in
dustry and skill combined with
daring and cool courage make
victory.
“Best wishes, and may good
fortune attend you.”
