ening up the attic to put out the
fire. Damage was estimated at

The first flock of crane to fly
north this spring was observed a
few days ago. They were flying j
along the open lead in the ice!
off shore, but due to the cold
weather and abundance of snow)
in the mountains and valleys
they . probably returned south
some distance to await more fav
orable landing and feeding condi
tions. I

The Alaska Road Commission
has been engaged in grading the
airport of snow during the past
two weeks, and now has a field
on which planes may land with
wheel-land ing-gear, of 90 feet in
width by about three thousand
feet in length. %
The danger to planes however, j
is that cross winds map be blow
ing, and with hgh banks of snow
on both sides of the 90-foot run
way, much care must be exercis-!
?d not to foul the wings.
