It has been conceded that these
projects, especially the major ones,
are essential to the continued dev
elopment in the areas in which they
are located. In aimost every in
stance they will open mining coun
try of promising nature where pro
gress is now retarded by lack of
adequate transportation.
The allocation for air fields, al
though comparatively small, will
make it possible to build new fields
at Cordova and Nome, two strategic
air centers, and will improve other j
existing fields so that they can be
used by the bigger and faster air-,
planes being used in Alaska.
An International Truck was un
loaded from the SS. Aleutian for the j
Northern Commercial Company, at;
Anchorage.

Cooper's Landing vicinity .and F. E.!

DOG AND BEAR,
HORSE, MOOSE
ARE REAL PALS
Dogs fraternizing with black
bears and a horse which chums
with a cow moose and calf are
strange contradictions in the vic
inity of Cooper’s Landing.
Frank Towle allows his horse to
run at large and roam the country
between Cooper Creek and Schoon
er Bend bridge. Recently the horse
attached himself to the cow moose
and calf and the strange compan
ionship has endured throughout the
Summer.
A week ago, Jacke Lincke, who is
spending the aeasJon prospecting
in the vicinity, observed that his
pure-bred malamute dog. Dainty,
was absenting herself nights from
his camp. Several days ago he had
occasion to cross Cooper creek,
near the old Kenai Placer Company
diggings, and was surprised to see
his dog frolicking about a yearling
black bear cub- .What should have
been hostility was real comradrie,
with each animal displaying friend
ship.
Tracks showed that the dog and
the bear had been frolicking on
the sand bars.
