FORMER FLYER WITH CAPTAIN
WILKINS TELLS ST. PAUL OF
PROPOSED PROJECT
A new airline from New York and
Detroit thru Canada to Alaska, with
St. Paul the United States port of en_
try, is in prospect in the near future,
Alger Graham, former pilot for Sir
George H. Wilkins, announced after
he arrived in St. Paul recently wifth
the National All* Reliability Tour, ac
cording to the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
By way of St. Paul the transporta,
tion time can be cut between Fair,
banks, Alaska, and Detroit or N*ew
York from 22 days, by rail and water
time, to three days, Mr. Graham said.
He has woroked over a route and
schedule which will avoid bad weath.
er and fogs.
NOT READY YET
“While I wrould like to accommodate
you folks in St. Paul and repay your
kind hospitality by telling you horw
to hit the Northwest for the finest
spot I »3ver have seen I cannot do it
just now,” said Pilot Graham. “In
a very short time I expect to develop
an airway thru St. Paul from New
York and Detroit which will go thru
Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Fort
i Nelson, Pelley and straight on to
| Dawson a,nd Fairbanks. You folks
J think of Alaska as a cold and frozen
country but it is not as cold as you
have it hens. Its agricultural possi
bilities are wonderful.
“Within 10 years you will be eating
more reindeer and yak meat down
here than you do beef. That moans
you will be financing a big industry
up there and the money for that
financing will have to como from
the United States. To facilitate that
financing we are going to have air.
; plane servico because the present 22
day mail service is altogether too
slow.
“Alaska never has been prospected
for valuable stones, though it is the
■likeliest spot in the world for them
; because of its volcanic origin.
TO SUPPLY WORLD’S MEAT
| “Alaska is rich. It is going to be
thte meat market of the world. The
beef cattle trend is North and the
airplane is going to help.
“St. Paul has two principal things
to watch regarding aviation.,It must
develop its airport, though you havte
a dandy today as far as present air.
ports are concerned, and you must
watch your fur market.
“I believ»e St. Paul is going to be
the fur market of the world just as
St. Louis is today, and that the air.
plane is going to bring this about,
Furs come from the North and you
have a wonderful fur business here
right now. Make it grow and it will
become a big industry. Furs are go.
ing to be carried by airplane from the
North and that means you must d'e.
velop your airports.
“You are right on the natural line
from Chicago and the East to the
North and Alaska with your airpon
and it deserves all you can give it
Most folk do not realize the import
ance of aviation. I believe St. Pau
is appreciative of its importance ant
I hope that it will take advantage o;
its favorable Ication. When it does
it is going to be the “Big Middle
Town of the Flying Map.”
