TACOMA, July 15, (/P)—-With
experts working on the motors
of two planes in which pilots
hope to fly from Tacoma to To
kyo. the aviators today gave up
hope of taking-off before Friday.
They admitted little hope of
starting on their 4,800 mile hop
even then as a burned out ring
on the exhaust has been discov
ered on the City of Tacoma.
Harold Bromley, who expects
to fly the plane, will pick up 800
gallons of gasoline at some un
announced beach on the Aleu
tian Islands. Instead of making
a non-stop flight they may make
one or two stops.
It will take a day to make a
new exhaust ring and the motor
is being completely overhauled.
On the “Pacific Era" Bob Wark
and Eddie Brown, Seattle pilots,
expect to fly the plane, refueling
the City of Tacoma in the air
above Juneau or Nome. They
have sent 400 gallons to Juneau
and full tanks to Nome. Bromley
discovered his ship couldn’t make
fast enough time for the non
stop flight.
<it lias previously been reporter
in Seward that the refueling in
midair would occur over Seward*

FAIRBANKS LEGION POST UN
DERTAKES LARGE TASK TO
OBTAIN SUM OF S100.000
Local aid is asked by the Eielson j
Memorial Committee, Dorman
Baker Post No- 11, Fairbanks, to as
jsist in raising the sum necessary
for the plans projected which is
| given in detail in the following let- s
ter which has just been received
land which was read at today’s
j Chamber of Commerce meeting:
' The movement to raise $100,000
thru popular subscription for the
purpose of building a concrete fire
| proof building on the campus of
ithe Alaska Agricultural College &
!School of Mines, which will be
known as The Carl Ben Eielson
Building of Aeronautical Engineer
jing was started by various frater
mal and civic organizations, also'
upon the solicitation of prominent
I citizens thruout Alaska and the
United States, and, acting upon this
request the Dorman H. Baker Post
No. 11, The American Legion, Fair
banks, Alaska, has undertaken the
large task of accomplishing this
worthy project.
We were all more or less ac
quainted with Carl Ben Eielson, !
Alaska’s outstanding aviator, who
did so much to develop Alaska, and
I am sure that we cannot show our
appreciation for his services in a
more befitting manner than to
make whatever contribution we
feel we can afford to make.
This building will also strengthen
the position of the Alaska Agricul
tural College and while it is not
thought that the entire amount
can be raised in Alaska, as advices
has been received thru various
sources that substantial donations
will be gladly offered from indivi
duals out in the States, every effort
should be made to reach every Al
askan so as to give him an oppor
tunity to subscribe as much as he
feels that he is able to.
I am enclosing herein a subscrip
tion list which I will ask you to be
good enough to present to the peo
ple that you come in contact with,
and if you should find time to do
so, spend a little time soliciting
from people that you feel can af
ford and are willing to subscribe.
After the work has been finished,
jwill you be good enough to forward ,
the money to the First National j
Bank, Fairbanks, Alaska, and the i
subscription list direct to me. ]

IT SUET OFF1GED
The sequel to a year-old mystery
is nearing an end with the re- •
cent finding (July 12) of the
wrecked gas boat “Spirit” at the
entrance of Nuka Bay by C. N. j
Chapelle, officer, U. S. Survey
ship Discoverer. A letter to this l
effect reached The Gateway to
day.
While doing survey work at
the entrance of Nuka Bay, the
letter says, the wrecked “Spirit”
No. T-2132. was found. Among the
debris there was a full can of j
coal-oil, a mattress and the fact
the engine and hull were badly
smashed, it is assumed the crew
were lost.
Capt. Pete Sather. who operates
a line of boats to Nuka Bay from
the Port of Seward, recalls that
just about a year ago he received
a letter from some lady at An
chorage who desired information
regarding her brother and anoth
er man who had left Cook Inlet
in the “Spirit” for Nuka Bay. He
does not recall her name but is
certain she has since left for San
Francisco.
Report of the finding of the
boat has been turned into the
local customs office and it is
thought more details may be
learned.
