Linking of the Orient with Am
erica by the establishment of a
regular airplane mail and express
service is contemplated by an Al
askan engineer, now in Los An
geles to investigate details of this
service, according to an announce
ment made through the Los An
geles Chamber of Commerce in
the Los Angeles Times issue of
August 7.
The sponsor of the idea is Jack
McCord of McCord, Alaska, citizen
of the north country.
The Times Story
McCord came here to confer
with airplane manufacturers at
the request of Maj Cecil A. James,
foreign trade expert of the Cham
ber of Commerce, who recently
toured Alaska in the course of
preparing a survey as to that
country’s commercial possibilities
for trade with this territory.
As disclosed by Maj. James, Mc
Cord is definitely planning an
air mail and express service from
Alaska to Japan, and expressed
the opinion that it is certain the
service will be linked with one of
I the operators now serving Alaska
I from the United States.
Interest Shown
Interest in Alaska and the pos
sibilities for the development of
various types of enterprise in that
country are shown in the num
erous inquiries received by Maj.
James since his return from Al
aska. For the past week he has
been contacted every day by per
sons interested in the business
possibilities of Alaska, both from
the standpoint of trade as well as
looking toward the establishment
of various projects there, .these lat
ter ranging from plans for a cof
fee shop business to the building
of a complete resort city.
Data and information gathered
on his Alaskan tour are now being
compiled into a report or survey
for distribution to chamber mem
bers, Maj. James said, stating that
this material will show both ad
vantages that will accrue to Los
Angeles manufacturers in the pur
chase of certain raw materials
from the north country as well as
good markets for a variety of
commodities and merchandise.

(Special Gateway Feature)
(By Babe Hayes)
Dr. Classen Mowry of Provi
dence, R. I., who made the Golden
Belt Tour a number of years ago,
speaking of his trip, says:
“I some time think I would like
to experience a winter in Alaska,
in Cordova, for instance. If there
were more men in Alaska at the
different stopping places who
could take an interest in tourists
and be cordial to them as you are
it would stimulate interest in vis
iting far away Alaska.”

Allen M. Irish, a prominent ship
builder of Maine, was through Al
aska in 1927, making the Circle
Tour. He was accompanied by
Mrs. Irish. Speaking of the trip,
he says among other things:
‘‘Mrs. Irish and I enjoyed every
minute of our Alaskan trip and
hope to repeat it some time in the
coming year. We visited several
of the parks Outside, and while
we enjoyed these visits very much,
they dd not measure up to the
Alaska trp.
“Our Alaska trp was not only
enjoyable from a scene stand
pont, but was made doubly en
joyable by the cordal recepton
whch we received from all the
people living there.”
STREAMS RISE CAUSING
FLOOR MBS ARRIVE
The local flood season appears
to be preparing for an ecxeptional
ly early start this year. Out on
the local highway, beginning on
the long stretch at the end of the
cut-off, this side of the McConnell
homestead, the ditches on each
side of the road were overflowing !
Sunday to the extent that in cer- !
tain portions, water had almost!
crossed the road.
Further out, near Woodrow and 1
by the railroad bridge, the stream !
was backing up and the road was j
completely covered; the formation
of a regular lake had a good
start at this point.
| With the present hot days con- i
' tinuing indefinitely and the re- j
sultant rise in rivers and streams,!
[this area, as occurred about three j
! years ago, will probably again be !
J flooded over and traffic impaired.;

what meat doth this our Gandhi j
feed?” might well be asked by

all.”
The daily diet of the nationalist
leader is this:
6 a. m.—A few dates, three or
four spoonfuls of curds from goat’s
milk.
11 a. m.—A few dates or raisins,
with milk curds.
2 p. m.—Cup of water with lem
on juice and bicarbonate of soda.
5 p. m.—Cruds, dates, and oc
casionally some cooked vegetables.
