CLIPPER SERVICE
TO ALASKA
Within a few days, the first
Tegular flight of the Pacific Al
aska Airways Clipper service
will be made between Seattle
and Juneau. Advices tell us that
the first trip will be in the na
ture of a test cruise, with spec
ial passengers and personnel to
be carried on the second trip.
Tire expansion in the Territory
wide service of this large com
pany, has been sought by Al
askans and others for the past
two or three years. Officials of
the company, notably Joe Cros
sin, have worked unceasingly for
this connecting link with the far
flung scheduled of the major air
lines of the United States.
This month sees the realiza
tion of the dreams of many Al
askans—the connecting by air of
Nome with Seattle on a two-day
schedule. Farthest west in tire
United States, of Pacific Alaska
Airways’ terminals, Nome will in
deed benefit highly with the cut
ting of time in dispatching and
receiving of mail and air express.
When the service is finally
down to schedule, Nome, Fair
banks, Juneau and Seattle, will
be on a direct airline, served
with the finest, and speediest of
equipment available.
