Dirigible To Arrive In
Seward Next June, Says
Head of Alaska Company
->,
Prior to his departure from Sew
ard last week. James C. Langley,
head of the Alaska Dirigible Compa
ny, which company proposes to in
stall airships in the Alaska trans
portation srevice, stated he was pro
ceeding direct to Akron, Ohio, where
the first ship, a small one, will be
ordered. The airship will probably
be sent to Seward in June, inflated
here and makes its own way to An
chorage, which has been chosen as
the logical base of operations.
The cost of the ship will be in
the neighborhood of $35,000 he said;
it will measure 95 feet in length, will
make a speed of 40 miles an hour,
with a carrying capacity of from
four to six passengers. With the
arrival of this ship in Alaska, Mr.
Langley said, work of procuring the
second and considerable larger size
dirigible, would begin.
LEITH RUSSEL ON CHRONICLE
Leith Russel, former employe of
the Fairbanks News-Miner, s now a
member of the shop force of the Ket
chikan Chronicle, recent arrivals in
Seward report. The Russel family
is well known here. Leith left re
cently ' for the States but the “call
of the North” no doubt was too
strong.

Dance Preparations
Firemen's Annual Ball
Making Good Progress
But two more days, then the big
event of the year—the Firemen’s An
nual Mask|Ball, at the S. A. C. Hall,
Thursday jevfcning. A big forward
stride was made last evening when a
swarm of volunteers pitched in and
assisted the decorating committee in
hanging draperies of crepe paper. By
tomorrow evening the S. A. C. hall,
where the dance will be held, will be
entirely converted into a vision of
loveliness.
Wednesday night another crew will
work the floor over with a special
wax preparation which, when com
pleted, will not be excelled by any
dance floor in the Territory.
Yesterday, the committee on prizes
made a canvas of the majority of the
business houses and a splendid as
sortment of practical awards were pro
cured.
