YOUNG PIONEER AIRMAN.
NOEL IH, IS VISITOR
Accompanied by his brother, F.
Wein, airplane mechanician, Noel
Wein, pioneer airman of Alaska, ar
rived in Seward this morning on the
S. S. Alaska, en route to Fairbanks.
Mr. Wein, with C. Ben Eielson, can
I claim the distinction of laying the
foundation ofr what has become a revo
lution in rapid transit, furnished the
groundwork for Arctic exploration by
airplane and proved to the world that
the airplane is wholly suitable for all
the needs of transportation in northern
latitudes. As the result of the work
of Eielson and Wein Western Central
Alaska now has two established com
mercial airplane services plying to the
remote precincts of the Territory,
with the result that distance and time
has been annihilated, as witnessed by
an airplane making a trip from Anchor
age to McGrath in two hours and 15
minutes as against 15 days, 'the short
est time by dogteam over Rainy Pass.
Mr. Wein has been in the States for
more than a year, and spent 'the past
five months in the East and in New
York. Previous he was with a flying
circus in Ohio, Wisconsin and Illinois.
With the arrival of Noel Wein and
his brother in Seward there are now
three Weins in Alaska, another broth
er being employed by the Fairbanks
Exproration company.
While Mr. Wein did not state his
plans, it is assumed that he contem
plates engaging in flying in his old
field, with Fairbanks as headquarters.
From this point, during his former
residence in Alaska, Mr. Wein pio
neered the Kuskokwim region, where
he had many thrilling adventures, but
no serious accidents. On one occa
sion he was caught in a blinding snow
storm while having for a passenger
an aged pioneer lady. The snow
blotted out the landscape compelling
him to fly by compass. It was impos
sible to determine height from the
ground at all times, with the possi
bility of a swoop toward projecting
hills, or encountering trees when
seeking landmarks that would serve
to assist in reaching the landing field
at Fairbanks. There were times w’hen
his exact whereabouts was vague, but
with the instinct of a trained flyer
he held his altitude and battled the
storm. From time to time he glanced
at his passenger, who smiled back
sweetly in motherly affection. This,
says 'the airman, gave him the cour
age to make the battle of his life. He
being possesed of the fatalism of all
airmen, was not concerned so much
about his own safety—but that saintly
old mother, beaming confidence from
the passenger’s seat! Never once did
she reveal perturbation or evidence of
anxiety, fully trustful of the polit
and unafraid up there in the darkness.
When he finally picked up the lights
of Fairbanks and found the landing
field, it was with, such a feeling of re
lief as he had never experienced be
fore in his flying career.
When the plane came to a stop and
he reached to assist his passenger
to the ground, she remarked: “Why
I son, you are cold!”
It was not cold, but the reaction of
the ^erve tension under which he had
been held during that memorable hat
tie with the elements.
Three halibut vessels > arrived in
port today from .the banks bringing
reports of the heavy winds still rag.
ing making fishing almost impossible
The schooners included the Zenith
in port for shelter; the Brisk, Capt
Andrew Knuteson, here for gear;
and the Yukon, Capt. Ed. Ongstead
after supplies.

LOOKING AHEAD
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead” to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—-the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is "Looking Ahead.”
