HARBINGERS OF PROGRESS
The announcement that the Pan-American Airways
have acquired the holdings of the Alaskan Airways, Inc.,
and are preparing to branch out under a progressive pol
icy in keeping with the development of the Territory, will
be received with deep satisfaction.
Coming at this time, when Alaska is on the eve of a
tremendous mining and industrial boom, the announce
ment should be a great stimilus to every activity.
The development of aviation in Alaska has been a
series of forward steps until today the Territory boasts
one of the finest groups of fliers to be found in the world.
Beginning with the first arrival of a small plane, avi
ation in Alaska has developed with leaps and bounds and,
as pointed out in the announcement of the Pan-American
Airways, every problem has been solved and Alaska is
ready for the final step which will bring the air service
up to the guage established in more favorable portions of
the nation. This is the installation of radio service aboard
planes and the establishing of regular schedules.
Next spring should see one of the greatest years of
activity experienced by the Territory, and especially in
Western Alaska, the great unprospected mineral zone.
It is not a far-fetched prediction that the time is near
when big cabin planes will be plying between Seattle and
all points of the Territory, and thus the lines of commun
ication will be reduced to 48 hours.
Thus modern science and invention is banishing dis
tances and time, and with it will come the renaissance of
Alaska.
Professor Piccard is quoted as saying that from a
point in the stratosphere the earth looks like a ball of
red. Are they sure they were reporting Piccard or Ham
Fish?
A California youth says he murdered his aunt and
maimed his uncle in order to secure funds with which to
“finish” college. Evidently it requires money to finance a
wrecking expedition.
In announcing his plans for securing American as
sistance in his next venture into the stratosphere, it is'
probable that Professor Piccard hopes to learn from the
politicians how to go up in the air.

delicious finny denizens were haul
ed out of Resurrection Bay Sunday

seine. Besides herring the youths—
Allen Guest and Edwin Larsen—
caught cod, trout and flounders.
Numbers of residents went down to
the seiners and procured herring
which are destined to grace dinner
tables today.

'Woman from Monte Carlo9
A sophisticated story with all the action aboard a French bat
tleship. An intriguing play with AN UNUSUAL PLOT. The beaut
iful wife of the Commandant secretly aboard his ship by acci
dent when the ship suddenly sails to sea. The effort of the villain
to take advantage of the situation— the effort of the hero to
hide the matter from the Commandant—A most unusual naval
battle—the sinking of the ship—the court martial—the most un
usual ending make a perfect feature of great interest.
And a special added attraction is a 3-reel Educational feature
of exploration in Africa
