ALASKA AIR
MAIL
We see by the papers that Seattle is apathetic con
cerning air mail contracts to Alaska and ctoesn t “Wish
to embarrass the postoffice department with too many
side issues until tney can get additional air mail- ser
vice to eastern points.”
That’s well and good as far as Seattle is concerned
but it should not hamper Alaska in her own air transpor
tation development. Alaska has grown “air minded” to
a remarkable degree and it will be an ever-increasing
mode of travel in this country. There are enough monied
men right in the Territory to establish a regular passen
ger service between Fairbanks and Seattle, via Anchor
age, Seward, Cordova ,etc., and mail contracts would
come as a matter of course. The fact that Seattle is in
different shouldn’t worry us a-tall; Seattle was ever thus
in her attitude toward Alaska regardless of their al
leged activities in the behalf of Alaska.
Personally, we’d like to have money enough to buy,
into a Seward-Kodiak-Bristol Bay or a Seward-Seattle
line, so as to be in a receptive mood for the time when
some great international will buy our dinky line as a
link in the great future line from New York to Pans,
via Seward, the practically all-land route. Safe crossing
of the Atlantic or Pacific by airplane is still a matter of
indefinite future but going from Seattle to Japan by way
of Seward is more or less of a cinch. It is probable that
that will always be the dependable route between Europe
and America. *
Anchorage is in for an epicurean feast when those
hundred spring lambs from Albert’s ranch on Kodiak
arrive there shortly. Kodiak lamb or mutton has a fla
vor nearest akin to mountain sheep than which there is
nothing sweeter and is highly prized by those who know.
IN MEMORIAM
All Alaska is saddened to hear of the fatal crash
of Miss Marvel Crosson, while engaged in a
transcontinental air derby. Miss Crosson aster of Joe
Crosson, Fairbanks pilot, had made niany flights in th
Interior and was Alaska’s only aviatnx. At one time sh
was engaged in carrying mail by plane to 1 emote pa
°f was the finest type of woman, and a
girl of wonderful character; a charming lovable person
tora'Not°onlySher ie^tai of Heads in Alaska but thru
out’theUnited State? her flying “West” to the Vahalla
of air Vikings, will be sincerely mourned
Not withstanding the Outdoor Magazine we would
much rather see sheep, catt'e, min ,m NewEngland
deer, racoons, pheasants, elk, chickan an ?
boiled dinners flourishing on W a New York
Westward islands than save a beai pelt
library. __

over the airport she had covered -
!the distance in 16 minutes under i
i 100 hours of flying.
