INTERESTING COMPARISON
While Ex-officio Governor Senator Howell of Neb
raska, Representative Free of California, and other con
gressional pygmies are wailing about federal expendi
tures in Alaska it might be germain to the question to
point out that Howell’s own state of Nebraska during the
last year, received more than $1,000,000 from the Fed
eral treasury and in addition to that in excess of $17,000,
000 of Federal funds have been spent in that state.
Possibly it is the fear of retrenchment in his home
State that has actuated Senator Howell’s assault upon
Alaska. The same might be said of Representative Free
and the Boulder Dam project which divides its distri
bution of revenue between Utah and California, Arizona
and Nevada deriving little from disbursement in wages
and purchase of supplies.
Now that the supposed remnant of the tower of Babel
has been discovered in the ancient town of Akshak, some
scientist will accuse the Aleutian natives of having built
it.

Fishermen of Ketchikan assert that it costs $3.57 per
day to operate and their profits average $1.45. They also
claim that a man with a family must earn $5.00 per day
or accept charity.
Judged by the number of women in the big cities of
the States who are mixed up in racketeering, burglary,
kidnaping and every other avenue of crime, New York
State was not far wrong in building additional women’s
prisons. There is nothing like preparedness.
With the jawbone of one ass Samson slew 1,000 Phil

With an additional 10 per cent tax on cosmetics it is

Magazine writers are advocating “spend your money
in the United States and bring back prosperity.” Well,
we’ve spent it?

CHRISTENED WITH NEW
SOBRIQUET 'PHENIX'
June 12th was a red letter day
lor Pilot Frank Dorbandt, whojvas
in town Monday from Anchoragf
with Mechanic Herb LarLson, prior
to leaving for a flight westward
from Anchorage Tuesday. Dorbandt
counts June 12 his 36th birthday,
although his friends say he doesn’t
look a day older than 60.
“The month of August really
should have the honors,” however
said Dorbandt in his rooms at a
local hotel. ‘ I was scheduled to ar
rive on this planet in that month, j
but flew ahead of schedule time.’’ I
In addition to selecting August
for a birth month, Dorbandt mar
ried in August and will tally up an
< ven 20 years of flying in t h a 1
nonth, during which time he ha-p
had no accident of any kind. He
also holds the record for fastest
time between Seward and Anch
orage having covered the distance
in thirty minutes at 9,000 feet on
the wings of a gale.
“I am now engaged in figuring
out what events will occur to me
this year in August,” he said, “as I
always contrive to have something
happen then, be it good luck or
bad.”
Dorbandt was to leave Anchorage
today with three passengers for
the Westward, in the Bristol Bay
region. He will pick up Father Ber
nard R. Hubbard, S. J., Professor
of Geology at the University o f
Santa Clara, Calif., to fly Fr. Hub
bard and his party into Chivinok
J crater, formerly known as Aniak
chak crater, where they will re
main for 10 days and will be pick
ed up at the end of that time by
Pilot Dorbandt.
His extensive experience with
Pilot Dorbandt has led Father
Hubbard to re-christen him with
the sobriquet of “Phenix,’’ apropos
of the famous bird of that name
which came out of Arabia every
500 years to Helipolis, where it
burned itself on the alter, to rise
again from its ashes young and
beautiful.
Father Hubbard also calls Dor
i bandt “The Virgil o f the Sky,”
! for having taken Dante into the in
ferno of the crater known as An
iakchak, near the Valley of Ten

Pilot Dorbandt is recovering
from a dislocation of a vertabra of
his spinal column, injured recently
on a trip into the Bristol Bay
when he had to shove alone and
mightily on his plane to get it from
the beach into the water. Mechanii
Larison suffered from a similar
injury recently when he took an
Annette Kellerman dive on the slip
pery boards of a runway.
The U- S. S. Discoverer left port
