AVIATION AND ALASKA TRANSPORTATION
PROBLEM
During our long residence in Alaska one of the most
discussed problems confronting us, our politicians, pros
pectors, mine operators and everybody else in the Terri
tory, who did not have twenty million available for a rail
road of their own, has been how to reach certain points,
also with supplies. Then how to get out again. This prob
lem still exists throughout the greater portion of Alaska.
Our Uncle in Washington has solved it for the region
covered by the Alaska Railroad, the benefits of which
are now commencing to be realized, particularly, in the
Tanana and Fairbanks districts where capital can now
operate on a large scale being able to ship in their machin
ery and supplies in a safe and speedy manner and at rea
sonable rates. But the Alaska Railroad taps only a very
small part of the Terirtory. Large sections. have
never been explored on account of their inacessibility.
Modern science, however, has perfected the art of
flying to such an extent within the last ten years that
aviation is now7 a recognized commercial means of travel
and offers a solution for a great part of our transporta
tion problem.
Along the rugged coast lines, with its many indenti
tures and small protected inlets, hydro planes can be used
without expensive preparations for landing fields wrhich
are rather expensive to prepare. We believe it to be a
good investment for the National Government to prepare
these fields at the more important and strategic points.
By so doing private enterprise would soon establish new
trade routes. Prospectors would be able to reach regions
now almost inaccessible and perhaps the Postoffice de
partment could after awihle be. persuaded to modernize
the Alaska mail service.
A great capitalist of New York, recently donated a
large sum of money to the government for aviation pur
poses. A great part of this man’s millions come from the
mines, the fish and transportation in Alaska and it is only
fair to ask that some of this money be expended for the
benefit of the Territory and the people it came from.
WHAT IS IT?
Inside dope from outside men very seldom gains any
so-called impedus if it escapes the editorial column or the
front page. A little secret, a tip or whatever you would
call this “splash of ink,” comes to our mind in the lucid
variety in everyday happenings. The one in particular
noted has its connection with the Arctic Pole expeditions.
Point Barrow, by our small observation into the news dis
patches of the day, will teem with excitement and pande
monium will reign, and weird tales no doubt will be the
grand total of what lies hidden way up North. That the
crusaders going into the far reaches are causing no little
comment, it will be but the inevitable—whatever it is,
that will carry the true story of this giant undertaking,
by so many men of wealth, into these desolate wastes of
ice, lies buried a secret, one that will stand as motionless
as the Statue of Liberty, but like the Statue of Liberty,
the incomparable significance is but a symbol of better
things, which if we are not on the “sensational” list will
bear the stamp that has long endured,—that stamp carry
ing with it Old Glory to the “top of the world.”

FUNERAL SERVICE
JACQUES JUNTE
HELD BY IGLOO
ASHES'FORMER RESIDENT SEW
ARD STREWED OVER RESUR
RECTION BAY
Funeral services for Jacques Junte,
former resident of Seward, was held
yesterday afternoon at 2 o’clock by
Igloo No. 9, Pioneers of Alaska, of
which organization he had been a
member.
Services were conducted on the
Seward wharf, as it was the wish
of the departed, his ashes be strewed
over the waters of Resurrection Bay,
immediately following the prayer
which was rendered by Rev. Thomas
Philip Graham, Brothers Pete “Pis
tol” Anderson and James Paulson
took the container of ashes in a
rowhoat, and while the large number
of friends of the departed Brother
stood on the dock in the rain, un
covered and with bowed heads, gave
to the waters the ashes of the de
parted.
Brother F. B. Moore, president of
the Seward Lodge, prior to the pray
er, delivered a splendid tribute and
a brief resume of the Alaska life
of the departed brother.
William C. Lyon, special writer or
the New York Times who happened
to be passing through Seward at
this time, photographed the rites.
It is announced a copy of the photo
graph will be mailed to the widow.
In part, Mr. Moore said, “Brother
Pioneers and friends, we have as
sembled today to pay our last re
spects to all that is mortal of Bro
ther Jacques Junte, who was a mem
ber of Igloo No. 9, Seward, Alaska..
He passed away suddenly while on
a hunting trip, which was a favorite
pastime of his, on December 24,
last. Evidently his thoughts wan
dered back to Seward many times for
him to have arranged for his ashes
to be strewed on the waters of
Resurrection Bay.
“Mr. Junte was an early Pioneer
of 1S97, having gone over the Skag
way trail of that year. He remained
in Dawson until the Nome rush of
1899 when he joined it. He was
a charter member of Igloo No.l,
until 1916, coming then to Seward,
remaining here until 1923. Prom
Seward, he went to Oakland, Calif.,
where he resided until his death.
Mr. Junte was an .honorable and re
spected citizen by all who knew him.
He, as well as Mrs. Junte, had the
well wishes of their many friends
upon their departure from here.
“We comit to the waters all that
is Mortal of Brother Jacques Junte,
j of Igloo No. 9, Pioneers of Alaska,
whose spirit has departed. Earth to
| Earth, Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust,
to be resurrected on the last Day.
May the memory of his virtues al
ways be green and his faults for
gotten.”
