THOROUGHNESS IN ROAD BUILDING
MOTORISTS returning from a trip over the Moose Pass
highway, constructed by the Bureau of Public Roads,
report the average speed of motor cars over the greater
portion of the road is 30 miles an hour.
When it is taken into consideration that most of the
roadway traverses a foothill country, with many curves,
this speaks well for the manner in which the work has
been done.
In point of scenic beauty it is debateable if there is
another mountain region of America offering more that is
pleasing to the eyes. As expressed by one tourist who is
spending a few weeks in the Pass country, it is a mingling
of rugged grandeur and soothing influences, with wide
vistas, pretty little lakes, crystal streams and broad up
lands carpeted with verdure.
Absence of extensive rock work and with immense
gravel hanks has made it possible to combine great econo
my with perfection of construction in the perfect roadbed.
The value of this road in its influence upon develop
ment between Moose Pass Station, Sunrise and Hope, if
connected up with the Seward-Kenia Lake road, is
almost inestimable. Not only does the road pass through
scenic beauties, but it traverses a country rich in placer
and lode deposits containing many millions of dollars in
wealth.
Bobby Ephim, a native boy 19 years
old, died at Tyojnek on July 24 of tu
berculosis. The body was taken to
Anchorage, where it was laid at rest.

MUST BE CONTENT WITH RE-!
FLECTED GLORY; TWO NOW
IN EUROPE
i
NEW YORK, Aug. 1. (/P)—There are ;
“heroes down below” in trans-oceanic '
flights as well as in naval battles.
“Ground fliers’* they are, engineers |
and mechanicians, twentieth century,
grooms to the steeds of the air, who
sometimes must travel 3,000 miles by
water so that the trans-oceanic plane
may fly back again. Two such men,
typical messengers of modern times,
sailed fro France recently to help re
condition the trans-Atlantic plane Co
lumbia for its return flight with Mau
rice Drouhin, French aviator, and
Charles A. Levine.
One was Thomas Harold “Doc” Kin
kake, who as field service engineer
for the Wright Aeronautical Corpora
tion, helped tune and groom-the Ame
rica, Commander Bryd’s plane. The
other was John Carisi, chief mecha
nician of the Columbia Aircraft Cor
poration, who toiled to prepare the Co
lumbia, flown by Chamberlin and Le
vine.
During and after the flights, both
had to be contend with only such pale
rays of reflected glory as came their |
way. But probably the aviators them- j
selves worked with no more eager en
thusiasm than they. Remaining on
land they shared the suspense of the
fliers at sea, in much the same way i
as the traner of the racehorse watch- i
es the jockey race his mount.
Carisi went to France by sea, in the
wake of the machine he helped make j
ready, carrying spare parts for its re
pair. Kinkake, grievously disappoint- j
ed when he could not stow away on j
Bryd’s flight, sailed to help recondi-;
tion the America, holding the hope!
that he might fly back. He was doom-1
ed to disappointment again. Later he
was commissioned to go over the en-1
gine of the Columbia.
