A SIDE TRIP INCOMPARABLE
Next summer the Los Angeles Chamber of Com
merce party, about 250 of them, will visit Alaska; a
number of them will remain in Seward. We would like
them all to stay here but that would be unfair for un
til they have seen the great Interior country, they will
not have a true conception of what Alaska really is.
First the splendid service and maintenace of the
Alaska Railroad will be noted; the ever winding
curves about massive nigged peaks and through silent
eloquent valleys, with bounding white water dashing
recklessly from cloudy heights, will convey a message of
its own. Who knows but over the ground they will be
speeding raw gold in fabulous wealth may lay. The visit
at Nellie Neal’s will deight them; the figure eight, high
in the mountains, then the blue colored inland glacier.
Anchorage has a charm all its own; the Matanuska
farming center, the coal fields, Fairbanks, where they
may glimpse at first hand, placer and quartz mine op
erations. We want them here, of course, but we also de
sire that they see it all while in the Northland.
What a delightful surprise awaits them!
RELIEF AND POLITICS
Every right thinking person has profound sympa
thy for all those who through no fault of their own
find themeives unable to obtain the necessities of life.
Measures for relief for such cases have a strong ap
peal, and it is to the credit of human nature that this
is so.
But, unfortunately, certain politicians are apt to
play—some are now doing so—upon the generous im
pulses of the public by seeking approval of ill-advised
and unsound schemes which are advanced in the hope
of making political capital for their promoters. It is
perfectly easy for a Senator or other legislator to gain
a certain amount of publicity and applause through in
troducing a bill for raiding the treasury under the
guise of affording relief for the destitute.
To cany out their plans, they would not hesitate
to hamper the recovery of business and industry by
imposing oppressive public burdens which would coun
teract the constructive efforts now being made to put
more men on the payrolls. And right now bigger pay
rolls affords the most effective and permanent means
of relief. Given work, the public will work out its own
salvation and destiny.
Our guess up here in Alaska, which is probably as
good as. another’s, is that these same politicians have
not hesitated to reflect upon the Red Cross Society,
the most capable and effective agency in the world in
matters of personal relief. One’s personal opinion may
differ with that statement but facts authenticate it.
Red Cross officials declared the other day that their
efforts have been hindered by these attacks of politi
cians who want credit for themselves, which they seek
to obtain by proposing vast government appropriations
to be expended under the directions of other political
ly-minded agents.
President Hoover very aptly characterized such
tactics as “playing politics at the expense of human
misery-”_.im* m
A scientist says that movements of the big toe tell
how one’s mind is wdrlring. A young fellow sometimes
finds out how his sweetie’s papa’s mind is working
that way.
A German was arrested for swindling through
pretending to make gold from base metals. It may be
merely a coincident that he is a plumber.
“Believe or not” Ripley could hardly get away with
this yarn: The New Hamphire legislature forgot to ap*
propriate money for the members pay before adjourn

| EXPECT TO 8JSE PUKE :
HERE IEXT SUMMER i
IFJUINS HIM;
It is the present plan to base
; a plane in Seward next summer i
I unless circumstances prevent it, i
' declared Pilot Frank Dorbandt,
of the International Airways of h
Alaska, an overnight business j
visitor from the Anchorage base.
Edw. Lowe, Jr., of San Fran- I!
i cisco, head of the company, ac-;|
companied by Mrs. Lowe, and
Pilot Alonzo Cope, also made
the round trip, the entire party
returning today to the Anchor
age headquarters.
As was stated by The Gateway ,
some days ago, Pilot Dorbandt
proposes to fly Father Bernard
R. Hubbard into the crater of
Aniakchak, next spring. The;
takeoff will probably be made j
from the down-river area, possi
bly Holy Cross.
Joe Barrows, general operation
manager of the company, who j
also was a member of the party j
arriving yesterday, is remaining!
over until the next train, it was,
said. He flew Mr. and Mrs. Lowe
to Alaska from the States in a
Fleetster plane, which is now in
Fairbanks, and which is said to
be the last word in airplanes. The j
craft is said to have cost $35,000.
It is capable of making a top i
speed of approximately 200 miles
an hour; its cruising speed is
150 miles an hour. The plane ,
will be flown to Seward in the j
near future, equipped with pen- \
toons. Mr. and Mrs. Lowe, Mr. ^
Barrows, and Dorbandt and Cope, j
are the directors of the company j
which is now preparing plans 1
toward larger expansion.
Mrs. Dorbandt accompanied j
her famous husband on the pre- j
sent trip.
