LOWELL POINT AVIATION FIELD
Judging from the interest displayed in the proposal
to have an aviation located down on Lowell Point, where
spacious flats and ample natural protection from the
elements abound, it is a certainty Seward may look for
ward soon to possessing one of the finest in Alaska.
Having none, except the field adjacent to the radio sta
tion, is in Seward’s favor for it is the aim and ambition
of the Territorial Road Board to lay out landing fields
at every advantageous point for the furtherance of air
travel in the Territory.
Lowell Point is ideally situated for a field owing to
natural shelter afforded from wind and storms; its
accessibility to either hydroplanes or airplanes—land and
sea craft—and its close proximity to the city.
It is welcome news to the citizens of the city that
unceasing efforts will be made to obtain this field and
that the whir and roar of planes winging overhead may
shortly become a common occurence and not a curiosity.
Alaskan planes have flown many hundreds of thou
sands of miles carrying thousands of passengers as well
as a huge tonnage, all without loss of life of injury; a
record hardly achieved by any other group or country
and, of a certainty, never surpassed. When it is consider
ed that the Territoi’ial airplanes operate in rugged,
wild regions and at low temperatures during the winter
months, the aviators of the North may well be proud of
their creditable record. Seward will welcome the oppor
tunity to greet the courageous airmen at the propos
ed field which is a necessary adjunct to Seward’s steady
progress.
Combined and persistent effort spells success in
any man’s land.
Some oldtimer has figured that the present apnro
uriation for keenm<r the conntrv—not the Territorv—
dry is 30c a year for each person. How many can be kept
on the water wagon.by 30c worth of law a year?
The next oreot world chammonship should be a nom
stop booster for the old home town.

ONE SHOW ONLY AT 8 O’CLOCK
LOIS WILSON
in a fine fast action drama of New
greatest play-ground
York’s
CONEY ISLAND
A fascinating story of its romance and business
where life is one mad thrill of thrill seeking
throngs who have no time or interest in the
people who serve them.
THE REAL RESORT SHOWN BETTER
THAN EVER BEFORE.
Cameras lashed to the roller coasters give you
the same sensation as though you were aboard.
Where fortune awaits he who is smart enough
to attract the most people.
One of the great concessions was leased to pro
duce this picture, and real crowds of New York
pleasure seekers have a part in the scenes.
The feature was directed by
RALPH INCE
and concerns the struggle of a young indepen
dent showman against a powerful combine
seeking to control the resort. Two different
kind of girls are mixed up in the plot, making
the play intensely interesting and dramatic.
We are also showing a fine
VAN BIBBER 2-REEL COMEDY
“FOUR FACES WEST’
making a program full of joy and thrills
