OFF TO A FLYING START
Aviation in the year 1929 is literally “off to a flying
start.” The first few days of the new year saw the epoch
making sustained flight of the big Army plane “Question
Mark.” which remained aloft more than 150 hours being
refuelled more than a score of times in mid-air, both day
and night.
Another important development since January 1 is
the inauguration of the air mail between the United
States and Central America and to the islands of the Car
ibbean. Within a few months time the air mail will be
serving Southeastern Alaska.
Woman’s part in aviation was also emphasized by the
record-breaking solo endurance flight for women, bv Miss
Bobbie Trout, who remained in the air more than 12
hours; also by Miss Amelia Earhart’s flight with the Cen
tral American mail.
We have heard of the remarkable flights made bv
Alaska’s Ace. Ben Eielson, and Sir Contain George Wil
kins in the Antarctic; and of the exploits of Byrd. With
two non-stop flights around-the-world planned for this
summer, and the Spanish aviator who will top the Aleut
ian chain in the spring, and other ambitious flights being
planned throughout the world, it looks as though 1929 is
going to be another great flying year.
If you have ever been finger-printed, watch your
step. John Newland, 35, arrested in Newark for stealing
a necktie, was found by an examination of his finger
prints to be wanted for the murder of his brother-in-law
in Buffalo several years before. Newland said he stole
the necktie in order to get into a warm jail for the winter.
The Heinz variety of bureaus in Alaska, with their
Heinz laws, are a crime against the development of the
Territory. Some of the methods of enactment should be
investigated.
Quite a lot of Mr. Hoover’s energy might be conserv
ed by omitting to shake hands with job hunters.
I Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
John Coolidge plays the saxaphone. Which may ac
count for his need of secret service protection.

II.IAMNA HAY FUR SALE
AAAY BE HELD APRIL 1
ACCORDING TELEGRAM
Jack Bailey, of the Uiamna firm
of Severson & Bailey, has arrived
at Dillingham on his annual fur
buying expedition, acording to a
telegram sent the Gateway today.
Mr. Bailey, who has advertised
a fur sale at Iliamna Bay in the
spring, mentions the date of April
10 for the sale but another radio
is expected from him within a
couple of days which will give a
definite date. He arranged with
Capt. Heinie Berger, of the M. S.
Discoverer, to make a special voy
age to the bay, from Seward and,
in a way, the definite date an
nouncement really depends upon
Captain Berger from whom the
Gateway is expecting a cablegram
within the next two days.
Mr. Bailey stated in his telegram
that he has 500 red fox now in
hand, as well as many other furs,
but tmat fur is scarce. He is now
on a trip down the peninsula and
thus far has had fair results.
