FLYING ALASKA SKIES
A combination most difficult to beat, dropped from
the skies upon Seward today in the persons of Karl K.
Katz, Anchorage manager of the Alaskan Airways, one
of the best known transportation men on tihe Pacific
seaboard, and Pilot Matt A. Nieminen, acknowledged
“ace” and pioneer of Alaska sky-ways.
Each summer sees transoceanic flights increasing;
these ventures, such as the present Lindbergh flight to
the Orient, are paving the way for commercial passen
ger and mail aviation, but we compare the daily exploits
of Alaskan aviators with far more respect than these
attempts at lowering records. Not so, however, is Lind
bergh’s flight. That is another voyage of good-will and
route-making.
In the years of Alaska aviation, but three deaths
have occurred, and thousands upon thousands of people
are now traveling in Alaska by plane. The hardest task
confronting aviation concerns and publicity mediums is
that of assuring the public, flying is not as hazardous as
the more common means of transportation. Alaskans,
as a whole, are slowly beginning to realize ;this all-im
portant fact.
While there are a number of Alaska aviators who
appear to stand out more than others, they themselves
will concede that whatever prowess displayed, Was prob
ably due to opportunity and circumstances; that the
rank and file of aviators who pilot ships in Northern
skies are, man to man, greatly superior to those found
elsewhere.
They must be, for here they take to the air and
straighten out for their destination, in the main, hun
dreds of miles away, beween which landing or emerg
ency fields are as rare as a smile on some people’s face.
Daily they perform humantarian services and thereby
saved countless lives; gallant, cautious, courageous and
withall, regular fellow's, we doff the derby to them in
profound respect and admiration.
If such a thing is possible, Karl K. Katz will make
Alaska aviation even more efficient. Little need be
said here about Matt A. Nieminen, whose fame has at
tained a national reputation.
A sweet team? We’ll say so!
TROPICAL ALASKA
% _
The art of cultivating gardens requires real care
and personal interest. Such is the attention given to
Seward’s show place and pride, the Arcade Park, by
H. V. Hoben, whose most interesting work is the study
of the out-of-doors.
The most recent of these was the experiment of
planting, in the spring, of a mock orange tree, believed
to be the first in Alaska, and its growth has been amaz
ing. At the present time the plant is abloom with bios
soms, attesting to the fact that besides flowers of almost
every description, fruit trees also thrive and flourish.
With apple orchards at Hope, orange groves in
Seward and “banana” plantations near Anchorage, why
go tG Florida?
No kidding dearie!
A marked increase in Alaska malt sales during
these hot days may lead suspicious persons to fear that
home brew is being made.
Visitors to Centralia Wash., just now might think
they had landed in Russia or Alaska. All the men of
thetown are raising beards, to give realism to a pioneer
festival to be held shortly, When scenes of the old Wild
West will be reenacted.

NOT ENOUGH NWS
TO GO ROUND, FLIGHT
BERLIN, Aug. 11. VP)—While the
Graf Zeppelin was on her Arctic
cruise she passed over so many dis
covered glaciers, mountain ranges,
bays and other geographical fea
tures that there were not enough
names to go around Professor Ro,
dolfe Samolovitch, scientific direc
tor of the expedition said.
Breaking the silence heretofore
imposed by a German newspaper
contract, he expressed his elation
over the results of the cruise, but
was careful not to say nothing sen
sational had been encountered and
nothing of the kind had been ex
acted. He did, however, say the
Graf did not get to the North Pole.

lingham club polo com\ti;tco al
ready is laying plans for Us next at•
nmpt to win the Wes'.hMli: cup
from the United States.
The attempt will be made in 1923.
and the team probably will contain
the old 1930 membership. Louis
Lacy, the Argentine, may wish,
however, to be replaced by a young
er man.
Captain C. T. I. Roark, star of the
British play in the 1930 matches,
likely will lead the new group.
A suggestion is being considered
that a British army team be sent
to America to compete against an
American army team, possibly next
year. There has not been such a
contest since 1925.
