FLIES LATEST TYPE
AIRPLANE FOR PAA USE
JUNEAU- Murray Stuart. Pa
cific Alaska Airways pilot, flew
into Juneau recently with $22,000
worth of upholstered luxury in a
r.ew Stinson Reliant seaplane.
The new ship, powered with a
440 horsepower engine, made the
flight from Seattle in seven hours
flying time. Stuart will fly on to
Fairbanks where the plane will
be put into commercial use by
the PAA there.
This latest thing in airplane
design is studded with the “doo
dads" of modern aviation. There
is a fuel analyzer that is read in
conjunction with the manifold
heat gauge to give the exact fuel
consumption per minute and en
able the pilot to feed his engine
the optimum operating fuel mix
ture.
There is also a constant speed
propeller, shorter than normal,
set in the hub of an unusually

may set his dial for a certain
number of revolutions pe min

abruptly, but the propeller speed
remains at the speed to which
it is set.
Mr and Mrs. James J. Keenan
were expected in from the Kou
garok section today but later ad
vices state that they will not ar
rive before tomorrow. Mr. and
Mns. Keenan will be outgoing
passengers via plane shortly af
ter their arrival here.
McGRATH GETS MOVED
ACROSS KUSKOKWIM
T!ie building of now McGrath
is well under way according to
A Shonbeck who just returned
to Anchorage from the opera
tions of the Holky Dredging Co.,
near McGrath.
Tiie oid site of the town is be
ing abandoned because it is so
low that it tl ods in the spring
and fall so that the floors of build
ings and the airport are under
water.
At present the water is over
the floor in the old Northern
Commercial Company store that
burned this summer and the P.
A. A. radio operator had to walk
around in hip boots when he
works.
New McGrath is springing up
on the opposite side of the Kus
kokwim from its old location on
higher ground that is not subject
to flooding, Mr. Shonbeck said.
The N. C. has put in a new store
with a full concrete basement,
which is practically unpreced
ented in that area. Lew Laska is
also ready to open up a new
store and warehouse.
Elaborate plans are being
made to move Dave Clough’s
new road house across the Kusko
as soon as the ice forms and pre
liminary preparations can be
made. The miners in this district
will assemble their tractors and
pull the building across the ice.
The new airport on the high
side of the river is said to be one
of the best in the interior and is
in a position to be open the year
around.
Mr. Shonbeck says the interior
is experiencing its yearly rainy
spell and that everything is
flooded. He also said that the
Holky company has had a “sat
isfactory" season up to date.
