/eet. Kadi wilP have four’ l.iberty
motors with a total of 1,600 horsepower
—power sufficiently amplf to buck the
severe gales which sweep over the ter
ritory at intervals. The freight load
capacity of the machines will be six
tons. with which the planes will travel,
one hundred miles per hour. It is
expected to make trips from Valdez
to Fairbanks and return with loads of
this size in four hours. The round
trip from Valdes to Fairhnnk and re
turn will l>o made in one *day with
ease-. With a working period of 126
hours per month and an operating ex
pens • of $0.8549 per mile. It is claimed
that the machines can make a profit
of $670.80 |»er trip carrying freight at
the‘nominal rate of 8.5 cents per pound.
This means that if the 120 hour work
ing period is fully occupied the com
pany will make a profit of $#3,416 per
month, according to the Miner state
ments. The coin|>any is said to liave
been promised all the freight it can
handle for several months to come'and
the malls and passengers should more
than pay the operating expenses.
The feasibility of the project is not
doubted by its backers. It is pointed
out that the planes used by the gov
ernment In carrying mails between
New York nn*d Washington ha Co mad q
smv 'ssful (tights through gales blow
ing. with a velocity of 68 miles per
hour and never missed a trip. During
the past year the mail planes have
traveled more J.han 128,000 miles with*
out accident or without, missing a trip
on account of weather conditions.
The Miner comments as follows :
"The coming of these machines will
mark a new 'em for Alaska. The
country is well adapted to airplanes.'
which, with runners, could alight any
place in winter and rise again. The
vast country is practically inaccessible
In summer time owiife to rapid sUeams
and heavy foliage. In the winter the
streams are frozen solid and the vast
reaches with crusted snow providing
ideal grounds for a plane. The mod
service will he augmented ;rt»d interior
points placed not over four ho^rs from 1
the coast."
Tin* Valdez council and citizens have
announced that nothing will be left
undone to welcome the new enterprise
Owing to the prospect that the'
Cordova would depart early today,
Postmaster Walsh, thoughtfully kept
the |M>stofttee .open for business'Sun
day afternoon until 5 p. m. to give
belated correspondents an opportun
ity to conclude their mail business ini
good seasoy before the steamer sailed.
The courtesy was duly appreciated as
the uncertainty concerning the Cor
dova's arrival and departure left the
public very much in the dark concern
ing whift to expect.
The advertising .Mask: id receiving
in the* states may not In* attracting a
great deal of attention from the much
sought capitalist's, but there is not
tho slightest doubt that it is present
ing an appeal to many femine hearts
which may ultimately result in bene
ficial increases In the population thru
the migration of the fair one's inter
ested. It all depends on whether tho
aforesaid fair one's are wanted here.
Just how far the feminine interest ex
tends is exampllfled by the recent ar
rival of no less than three communica
tions from far away females seeking
to share the delights of connubial
existence In Alaska with some stal
w»rt#son olj the North as partner. And
now comes another from the sunny
reaches of the South written by a
dainty damsel of Georgia who declares
she "loves" this/ country nnd wants
to live hero if she can find some
"wealthy" Alaskan bachelor who is
willing to take her to his bosom. Her
letter inviting the attentions of some
lonely, eke "wealthy” bachelor reach
ed the postmaster on the last mail
and'is published herewith in the iden
tical form in which it is written.
