THE DAY OF THE AIRPLANE.
A hydroplane could do considerable
business in Seward, according to C.
P. Hale, and some of the cannerymen
from the Bristol Bay district. Mr.
Hale came to Seward from San Fran
cisco prepared to fly to Bristol Bay.
With him were several other passen
gers. Many trips per month could
be madej to Nuka Bay, Skilak and Ke
nai lakes, as well as Seldovia and to
eastward canneries. Hardly a week
passes that some one arriving on a
steamer does not ask for airplane ser
vice to his destination.
A few years ago a man was satis
fied to come to Alaska and taking a
dog team and his supplies put in sev
eral months mushing to his property.
Today he wants to go in a few’ hours.
There is no doubt that an airplane
or rather hydroplane stationed here
could be made to pay well. The can
nerymen at Bristol Bay have offered
$5,000 toward a plane service from
Seward, carrying their mail in fol
lowing the arrival of each steamer^
A chain of large lakes extend from
Seward to Bristol Bay, by way of eith
er Lake Clark oi^ Iliamna. During the
summer months the trip could be made
in a few hours.
Nuka Bay, about seventy miles from
Sew’ard is becoming quite a camp. It
is visited by many prospectors and
miners. Nearly everyone would avail
themselves of plane service if it could
be obtained.
Seward is ideally located from an
aviator’s standpoint. The winds are
either blowing up or dowm the bay,
making for easy landings. The Valley
of Ten Thousand Smokes is less than
three hours away, and planes could
land passengers in the bay at the foot
of the trail leading to the mountain.
There is no doubt but that within
the next year or so, the mails on all
interfor routes will be carried by air
plane. The last Territorial legisla
ture blazed the way when it appro
priated money for the establishment
of fields throughout the Territory.
At the present time R. S. Sommers,
territorial engineer, is engaged in
looking over prospective fields in dif
ferent parts of Alaska, and will in
vestigate the possibilities for a field
in Seward upon his return here.
Unlike Salome who danced Seward
is now shimmying with rapt ec
stasy under the sunny skies of pros-,
perity. More men are at work in the
city at the present time than for many
years past. The Jesse Lee Home has
forty or fifty at work, the new Ar
cade annex is working a large force,
and Gerhard Johnson, the artist who
makes curlycues out of cement, has
a number of men employed stuccoing
the court house building. Several log
ging and ties camps are employing 60
or 70 men and the Bureau of Public
Roads has a score at work on the
roads leading out of Seward. The
halibut fleet is increasing daily and
probably 75 men on a dozen or more
boats make this port weekly. With
an increasing number of tourists on
every boat, Seward can shimmy with
delight. Prosperity is here.
Representative Matsuda of Japan
expressed gratification at the pre
sence of American delegates at the
Geneva arms traffic conference, say
ing that the United States never
failed to air movements aimed to
promote peace.
NEW FERTILIZER
PLANT INSTALLED
AT LARSON BAY
YOUNG ENGINEER OF OAKLAND
COMPANY INSTALLS A LATE
MODEL MACHINE AT A. P. A.
CANNERY.
One of the new Stanley-Hiller fer
tilizing plants, an F-6 model machine,
the latest of its kind on the mar
ket, has just been installed at the
Alaska Packers Association’s can
nery at Larson Bay, states M. S.
Lamm, erector and engineer of the
Stanley-Hiller Company of Oakland,
who arrived in Seward yesterday on
the ocean going tugboat, Chilkat.
The machine is the large unit
type with a maximum production of
approximately four tons an hour of
fertilizer. From 12 to 15 gallons
of fish oil is extracted from each ton
of fish. The machine is a model of
efficiency and requires but two or
three men to operate it. Following
the entry of the fish into the machine
no handling is necessary for the fin
ished product pours out into sacks
and drums, reducing manual labor to
a minimum.
This makes the fourth plant of this
type in the territory, Mr. Lamm said
last evening, but it is expected many
more will shortly be installed in va
rious canneries, owing to the wonder
ful success this machine has met
with. One of the plants is at Chig
nik, one at Ketchikan, one at Ali
tak and the one just installed at
Larson Bay for the big company. The
plant which was formerly at this
cannery has been dismantled and
shipped to Alitak where Mr. Blan
kenship, formerly of the Oakland of
fice, will be in charge of its opera
tion this season. Prior to the ar
rival of the machine at Alitak there
was no fertilizing plant operating in
conjunction with the A. P. A. can
nery located there. Lumber was re
cently unloaded at the cannery and
a new building constructed to house
j the outfit which will be set up and
! ready to operate at the opening of
| the fish run, next week. Captain
| Steadman, well known in Seward is
the foreman in charge of the Alitak
cannery this year. Gordon Jones,
is superintendent in charge of the
Larson Bay cannery.
This is Mr. Lamm’s first trip to
Alaska and though the last months at
Karluk and Larson Bay have been
more or less bad, he has enjoyed
the change from California and hopes
he may be a constant visitor to this
district, in the interests of the com
pany he is employed by. His arriv
al in Seward yesterday was the first
glimpse he had of Seward for upon
leaving California for Alaska he sail
ed north out of San Francisco aboard
the A. P. A. sailing vessel, “The
Star of Shetland.” One of the own
ers of the company, Mr. Hiller, who
is also president of the concern and
the designer of the fertilizing plant,
is making a trip to Alaska the lat
ter part of this month. He is ex
pected in Seward about that time on
his way to the Westward on a per
sonal inspection of his company’s
plants now in operation in this dis
trict.
upon Mr. Lamm’s arrival at Seat
tle he is expecting orders to pro
ceed to Vancouver Island where sev
eral of the new model machines have
been sold. He departs from Seward
1 tomorrow afternoon on the North
western. During his stay in Seward
he is a guest at the Hotel Sexton.

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 13 (JP)

TUG CHILKAT HERE
FROM LARSON BAY
|
| MAKES TRIP TO WESTWARD
FROM SAN FRANCISCO IN REC
| ORD TIME OF EIGHT DAYS—DE
PARTS UPON ARRIVAL OF THE
STEAMER NORTHWESTERN.
TAKES ON OIL FOR CANNERY
Chilkat Carried a Crew of Fifteen
men—Considered One of Finest
Steamers In Westward Cannery
Service—Officials Aboard.
From San Francisco to Karluk in
eight days, was the time required by
Captain H. Hendricksen of the ocean
going tug, Chilkat, which arrived in
port yesterday afternoon, to make
the journey. “Yes! Sometimes it
gets pretty rough and the trip takes
a few days longer to make,” the Cap
tain remarked, “but the recent trip
north was fine from the day we
steamed out thru the Golden Gate.”
Captain Hendricksen came to Sew
ard to await the arrival of a num
ber of offcials of the company he
is employed by, the Alaska Packers
Association, who will arrive in the
morning on the Northwestern. The
officials will be taken to Iliamna
Bay and set ashore, the tug Chil
kat returning to the Karluk fishing
grounds, from where the tug hauls
the fish catch to Larson Bay, where
one of the Alaska Packers canneries
is located.
i ne tug Doat earned a crew or 10
men and is equipped with wireless.
Captain Hendrickson has been skip
per on the boat for some years. He
has been in the service of the A. P.
A. as master for the last ten years
and previous to taking over the Chil
kat, was skipper of several of the
company’s famous sailing vessels. Oc
casionally, the Captain said, he longs
for the command of one of the sail
ing vessels again, but they are rap
idly becoming extinct, being sup
planted by modern steel steamers.
The Chilkat tied up at the Ocean
terminal yesterday but moved over
to the oil dock this morning and
took aboard a large quantity of fuel
oil for the Larson Bay cannery. The
tug boat itself is a coal burner, con
suming on the average about ten
tons a day. The run over from Lar
son Bay to Seward was made in 22
hours. When asked about the tre
mendous size of the boat in con
nection with the fishing business,
Captain Hendricksen said a staunch
ship was needed in that district,
for heavy seas frequently and unex
pectedly arrive within a period of
five minutes, and it requires a strong
boat to buck the weather and tow
in the barges of fish in safety.
