Ketchikan Aviator Is Willing Come
To Seward—Put On Planes for
Westward Mail Service.
Regarding the air mail service
out of Seward for the Westward,
Secretary J. P. Hannon of the Sew
ard Chamber ol Commerce, receiv
ed the following letter from C. D.
Garfield, assistant secretary in charge
of the Alaska department of the Se
attle Chamber of Commerce, which
was read at yesterday’s weekly meet
ing and luncheon held at the Seward
Grill:
“Your letter of the 11th inst. ac
companied by a copy of letter ad
dressed to the Commander-in-Chief,
U. S. Air Forces, War Department,
Washington, D. C., was received.
"Over a month ago Mr. Frank
Wlright of the Carlisle Packing Com
pany informed this office, and an ar
ticle appeared in a local paper at
that time, that arrangements were
being mde for a Government air
plane to carry the mail and perform
other service between Seward and
Bristol Bay points. He requested our
cooperation stating that we would
later be informed regarding what
service we could render.
“Mr. Wright went to Cordova
shortly afterwards without furnishing
us any additional information so no
action has been taken up to the
present. Upon receipt of your let
ter I discussed the question with
our Washington representative, Mr.
J. J. Underwood, who is here, and
he suggested that we take the mat
ter up with the War Department the
same as you have done. This mat
ter will be brought to the attention
of the Alaska Committee at its next
meeting and doubless recommenda
tions will be made in support of the
service
“This is an off season of the year
to accomplish anything in Washing
ton, and I doubt very much if you
will be successful in putting it over.
Our experience has been that action
should be begun in matters of this
character a year or at least many
mouths in advance in order to accom
plish anything.
“If nothing can be done this sea
son by starting in soon enough we
can put it over for next year.”
Mr. Garfiled, who, accompanied by
Mi's. Garfield, is now on his way to

Seward, passengers on the steamer
Alaska, which will arrive in Seward
Saturday, also sent the following
letter to Mr. Hannon, bearing on the
matter of increased geological sur
veys appropriation in Alaska.
“Replying to your letter of the lltli
inst. the matter of increased appro
priations for geological surveys in
Alaska will be presented to the next
meeting of the Alaska committee
early in August and doubtless they
will recommend that the Chamber
get behind the proposition, as we
have for several years been urging
that the pre-war sum of $150,000 be
restored.
“It is noted that copies of your
letter have been sent to Portland
and San Francisco and the principal
towns in Alaska. We would thank
you to advise us regarding what ac
tion has been taken by any or all of
them. This will have no effect upon
our attitude but will be an addition
al incentive for the support of this
Chamber and the Washington delega
tion in Congress.”
Mr. Flickenger, who occupied the
president’s chair at the chamber
meeting, due to the absence of Pres
ident Charles Hinde, made the sug
gestion that a special meeting of the
Chamber be called upon the arrival
in Seward from the States of Major
General Harry Taylor, chief of engi
neers of the United States Army;
Colonel Wilds P. Richardson, retir
ed, former sourdough army officer
and at one time head of the Alaska
Road Commission, and Colonel Jas.
Gordon Steese, president of the Alas
ka Road Commission. A committee
of two -was appointed by the chair
to greet the visitors, consisting of
Mayor L. V. Ray and T. W. Haw
kins. Announcement will be made
at a later date as to the form of en
tertainment to be given the officers,
during their brief stay in Seward.
It was stated Col. Steese would be
making a late trip to Seward for
the purpose of inspecting local har
bor facilities and to confer with lo
cal citizens with respect to future
improvements. Captain Johansen of
the steamer Starr made the sugges
tion it would be advisable to take
Col. Steese and his party, about the
harbor on his ship, in order the vis
itors may obtain a practical knowl
edge of local conditions.
Regarding the trip to Seward by
Major General Taylor, Col. Steese in
his communication to the Seward
Chamber of Commerce says: “Maj
or-General Taylor is the man who
passes upon all of our estimates for
roads and rivers and harbors. He
has already approved my report upon
the Lowell Creek control, and will
later have before him our report up
on survey of Resurrection Bay with
a view to providing a harbor of ref
uge for the fishing fleet.”
The officers will arrive in Sew
ard on the steamer Yukon, on Sat
urday after next, departing for the
Interior on Sunday. They contem
plate returning to the coast via the
Richardson Highway.
From the Department of Justice
headquarters at Washington, D. C.,
John Marshall, assistant attorney-1
general ,in a communication to Mr.
Hannon, says he is in receipt of a
letter from the Seward chamber in
regard to the proposed change of
2ourt headquarters of the Third Judi
cial Division of Alaska. In reply to
the missive, Mr. Marshall advises
Lhat the Department will be glad to
give due consideration Jo the state
mens contained in the letter, and in
event a change is made in the head
quarters now fixed for that Division.
A. J. Davis of Ketchikan, writes
the chamber he has been informed
by several people that the canneries
in this vicinity are in need of an
airship. He states in his letter that
he has at present a flying boat at

tory proposition is made to Mr. Davis
he will be glad to consider it.
Volney Richmond, head of the Al
aska Commercial Company stores and
trading stations in the Territory, will
arrive in Seward, southbound, in Au
gust, Mr. Flickenger reported. A
committee of two was appointed, L. V.
Ray and J. p. Hannon, to meet and
conler with Mr. Richmond with re
gards to the establishment in Seward,
of a wholesale distributing business,
supplying the company’s various enter
prises thruout the Territory. It was
pointed out that Seward is centrally
located and the establishment of such
a business, would not only work out
particularly advantageous to the com
pany, but to the Territory as a whole.

the Alaska & Northwest Dirigible

Caw Packing Company at Uzinki; W.
