THE FLIGHT TO ALASKA
'(Seattle Post-Intell igfencer.)
Army,aviators have successfully ac
compln&ed the air journey from the
Atlantic Coast to the Alaskan Coast
at Nome. It was an adventure into and
oter new fields, over much of the
sparsely-settled districts of Western
Canada and the mountain wilderness
of British Columbia and Alaska, where
repair shops and supply stations are
uncommon, and an accident would
have meant danger and hardship, if
not death. Hundreds of miles were
travelled by these four army planes
over rough, broken, mountainous,
primeval wilderness where no human
life existed, without accident, th<
planes and their crews landing at
Nome in good condition.
r 10m the standpoint of pioneering
a difficult air route ^the performance
is as notable as the recent air journey
9f British planes ove£ Central Africa.
To the. £osto(jfice service it opens up
the possibility'of* shortening the line
* of mail communication with Alaska
• i •*«
and opening an- aip; mercantile service
for Stimuli packages. . It means the
bringing of the great Northern terri
tory viato closer communication with
th(*States. It is a splendid accomplish
ment fcu\Alaska, and brings to the na
tion -the realization' that the territory
is not so remote after all.
Ifis aotable that, though the actual
**■l - c % . /
I
time consumed in the air trip was
something like thirty-eight days, the
actual flying time from New York to
Nome was only fifty-five hours. Mea
suring distance by time, Nome, Alas
ka, is thus brought closer to New York
than is Denver, or many of the mid
west cities.
The four army planes left Mineola
Field, Long Island, on July 15, and ar
rived at Nome on August 2d. Kxhaus
tive notes of the trip, topographical
and otherwise, information on the pre
vailing air currents and other useful
data are in the hands of the aviators.
All this is but the preliminary of re
gular service later on, and will be
added to from time to time in subse
quent flights. The airway from New
York to Nome has been proved feasi
ble by the army men. Begul&r mail
service must come in the course of
time, w'hen the necessary' preliminar
ies have been accomplished.

When Secretary Daniels returned
to the states from his Alaska trip he
* as asked whether the Alaska people
were interested in politics. He replied,
i “They talk politics everywhere in Al
' aska. Wherever. I went .1 could hear
them discussing some phase of polit
ics. You know that Alaska is a very
close district. The delegate to the
house of representatives from Alaska
is usually elected by a very small.ma
jority. This being the case l believe
that the voters of the Territory have a
keen interest in politics, both local and
general.” The Secretary ought to take
a trip around the territory at the pre
sent time. He’d hear politics over>
minute, everyplace and by everybody
They are playing a dozen political re
cords right now compared to one or
two that were being played during
the Secretary’s visit. Some talk.
