A GREATLY NEEDED ROAD
Eleven miles of easy construction would build an auto
road from Iliamna Bay to Lake Iliamna, across the neck
of the Alaskan peninsula.
No other equal amount of auto road in Alaska, multipli
ed by many times, would serve such urgent need. All of
the Bristol Bay canneries, in the most prolific salmon
waters in the world, would be accommodated by that short
stretch. There are no less than 6000 people employed in
the fisheries of those waters every summer. j
The present long route from Seward around the Alaska
peninsula to Bristol Bay is easily 1800 miles. The short
stretch of 11 miles of auto road across the neck of the pen
insula would clip 1000 miles from that distance.
But the cannerymen are not the only ones who would
benefit. Lake Iliamna and Lake Clark, which the short
roadway would connect with tide water at Iliamna Bay,
are rich in copper and other metals, and have agricultural
and grazing possibilities among the best in Alaska.
Here is another fine job for the Seward Chamber of
Commerce to urge upon the Alaska Road Commission. It I
will have the help and the blessing of all that great West
ward country.
“THEY ARE THE BEST MEDIUMS”
ARTHUR BRISBANE, whose editorial columns “Today”
** and “This Week” are the most widely read in the
world, thinks well of the country newspaper. Here’s
what he had to say of it in his column “Today” recently:
“When Uncle Sam advertises, he ADVERTISES.
The Treasury announcement recalling $1,650,000,000 of
Liberty Loan four and a quarter per cent bonds will be
published in 15,000 American newspapers, daily and
weekly.
“Mr. Mellon shows good judgment, putting the adver
tising in thousands of country weeklies and small dailies.
In proportion to their circulation, they are THE best me
diums.”
In the old days, remarked a local tourist, the men
wore long trousers and the boys short ones, but in these
progressive days things are just reversed.

THOUSANDS OF NEW YORKERS
FURNISHED WITH A THRILL
DUE TO MISHAP
NEW YORK, Aug. 10.(/P)—The wild 1
ride of a lone pilot in a homemade |
blimp. 6000 feet above the ground,
furnished thousands of New Yorkers, j
last evening, with a thrill. The ship !
was constructed by Norris F. Samza
at his home in Union City. New Jer
sey and represents ten years of ex
perimental work. It took three years j
of actual construction wrork. After j
cruising over the city, the pilot was;
forced to shut down the motor ow
ing to a tear in the gas bag. He j
then strapped a parachute on him- j
self and threw out a 1500 foot rope ,
as the blimp began to descend, hop
ing that someone would catch it. The
ship was still drifting too fast and a
litle too high, but thousands were
following on the ground, eagerly a_
waiting for the end of the rope. Fi
nally it descended rapidly and the
rope was fastened securely to the
ground and the blimp came to rest
on the ground in a heap. The pilot
escaped, but was injured.
KODIAK EVENTS
August 2, James Hudson was pick
ed up on the streets of Kodiak in a
drunken condition and with a pint
of “moonshine” on his hip. Haled
before Commissioner Stowe, he drew
from the lottery of Justice, not the
but a grand prize of $150.00 and 90
days board and lodging at the Feder
al hostlery.
At Olga Bay, about as far south
and west as one can get on Mam
mouth Kodiak Island, two Philippines
were shot and killed on the 27th of
July at the lunch hour of the Alas
ka Packers Association Cannery. The
naked facts are as follows, viz.
The Philippines have their own
mess-house and were all eating at
the noon hour. Johnny Villegas
wralked in, went to the door leading
to the kitchen, pulled out a 38_cali
bre revolver and fired five shots at
the cook, Serio Buen, killing, him.
Villegas then came back into the
dining room. Jose Reyes, who is
held to answer, ran back to the other
end of the building, secured an auto
matic shot-gun, came back to the
dining room, fired at Villegas, hitting
him in the knee and breaking his
leg, and, as he fell, fired another shot
into Villegas’s back completely shat
tering the left lobe of his liver, from
the effects of which he died early
the following morning, XJ. S. Mar
shal E. H. Boyer and Commissioner
Stowe went to the scene of the dou
ble killing, held two inquests and a
preliminary hearing, the result of
which was that Jose Reyes was held
to answer to the grand jury.
