CELEBRATE TONSIL DAY
Tuesday was tonsil day at the
Jesse Lee Home. Sixteen children
parted forever with their tonsils
which were deftly extracted by Dr.
A. D. Haverstock of the Seward
General Hospital.
Rev. W. R. Macpherson, of
the Seward-Anchorage Episcopal
Church, who held local services
here this week, departed today for
his Anchorage home and parish.

MUST FACE FOG
WEATHER AROUND ALEUTIANS
NOT FAVORABLE FOR
FLYING, SAID
Normal summer weather condi
tions over one of the routes con
sidered by Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh for his proposed flight to
the Orient are almost anything
but conducive to comfortable fly
ing, according to an Eastern pa
per.
Almost constant fog banks and
quick rising storms make flying
rather hazardous along the south
ern coast of Alaska and the Aleu
tian Islands — the most popular
route outlined by all who seek to
cross the Pacific by plane.
The major difference between I
winter and summer along that j
route lies in the absence of rain
and snowfall during the summer
months. Other elements remain
about equal.
Fog banks are more common
than not along the Aleutians. Vi
cious storms have the habit of
springing up quickly. Weather

A Big Chance
Any flier who chooses the Aleu
tian route takes a big chance. If
he is lucky he has a chance of
pulling through, for islands are
numerous. Almost all of them
have a few natives and some pro
visions on them. But aviators
who fly the north country would
rather trust themselves over the
desolate Yukon river, where land
ing places and habitants are few
and far between, than over the
Aleutians, where natives, and
fishing boats make the region ap
pear somewhat populated in com
parison.
Fog banks and storms are ele
ments which no flier likes to com
bat. The violent storms of the
northern regions place a plane at
their mercy.
If Lindbergh decides to take the
“usual” route across the Pacific he
would probably have clear sail
ing along the coast line of North
America as far as Seward, Alaska.
There would be the possibility of
I sudden storms and some fog banks
(but if he encountered trouble he
j would probably be able to reach
jsome landing point, as there are
[numerous habitants along the
| southwestern Alaska coastline. But
I j from Seward on the success of the
I flight largely would depend upon
j the weather.
I Another proposed route would
carry him north of Juneau to
Skagway, Alaska, and thence to
Atlin lake in northwest British
Columbia, and the headwaters of
! the Yukon. This mighty river
I could then be followed to its
! mouth, a point south of Nome,
j This route would be longer, but
;normally weather conditions would
be more favorable. The Yukon
flows far inland across the north
■ central part of Alaska. During the
summer the weather in this re
gion is usually pleasant, with long
hours of sunlight. There is not
much danger of serious storms.
Fueling points and other places
of habitation are somewhat scarce,
but the river would offer a wide,
comparatively safe avenue of
flight, with a landing possible for
a seaplane at almost any time.
There would be two hops across
the open water, one from the
mouth of the Yukon to Nome,
about 100 miles across Norton bay;
the other from Fairway cape
across Bering strait to Siberia, i
about 60 miles. The flight would j
men pioceed down the coast line!
of Siberia and Kamchatka.
Land-Locked Harbors
Natuial land-locked harbors ex
tending at intervals almost all the
way from Seattle to the end of
the Aleutian Islands would pro
vide Lindbergh with frequent land
ing places.
Starting at Seattle, where he
would have the choice of Lake
Union, used by the Alaska-Wash
ington Airways for seaplane land
ings and takeoffs, or a section of
Lake Washington, where the Sand
point naval air station is located,
he would have a long array of
smooth-surfaced landing points
that would make frequent stops
possible.
The Alaska-Washington Airways,
flying planes between Seattle and
Juneau twice a week, maintains
regular landing points at Victoria,
Vancouver, Nanaimo, Alert Bay’
Prince Rupert, B. c., and Ketchi
kan, Wrangell, Petersburg, Juneau,
Sitka, and Skagway, Alaska. All
of the$e are in protected harbors
along the “inland passage” to Al
aska.
From Juneau, Sitka or Skagway
there would be a hop of 100 to
150 miles to Cordova, and 100 to

Seward.
From Seward to Dutch Harbor
there is only one regular landing
place for plapes, Chignik, some
400 miles from Seward, and that
is seldom used. But numerous
bays and inlets all along the Al
aska Peninsula provide emergency
landings.
Dutch Harbor, approximatley 350
air miles from Chignik, is the
most important point of habita
tion between Seward and Siberia,
and boasts of a good harbor. West
of there, along the entire string
of Aleutian Islands, small bays
and harbors are numerous, but
provisions and fuel would have to
be arranged for in advance.

j tion, so to speak, at Dutch Harbor
and from there until he reached
Kamchatka he would be almost
out of touch with the world, ex
cept for his own radio and the
few radio equipped fishing ves
sels that might be plying along
the Aleutians. He would be north
of the regular steamship lanes.
