AIR MAIL SERVICE H»R NOME POSSlBnJTY.
The aeroplane flights which have been staged over Nome during
the last week have been observed with interest by the public. Aviators
Lajotte and Compton are two very capable young men in the world of
Aeronautics, receiving their training in the best school in the world for
aviators, the United States Army.
Lajotte and Compton are both ex-army fliers and their under
standing of the management of aeroplanes is far superior to many who
are flying every day in the States. Very little danger results from taking
a flight wiith either of these aviators, who are both dependable.
With a possibility of.air mail service being inaugurated for Nome
within the next year to connect with outlying districts, the advent of this
plane into Nome is of essential benefit to the public. Once it is proven
that, landing fields can easily be established, the corner stone of .-nr mail
service has been established. With very little work a landing field could
be built at different towns thruout Alaska and air mail service inaugur
ated. It may seem like an insurmountable project when one first gives
thought to the (proposition, but taking the map of Alaska and glancing
over, the distance from one city to the other and figuring the distances
between, a fair idea of the time consumed in flying between these places
can be arrived at.
From Nome to Nuiaio ii m a distance oi approximately zdu id lies,
which can be covered with an aeroplane in practically three hours at
the most. From Nulato to Nenana is a distance of about 300 miles,
three and one half hours of flying would put a plane in Nenana from
Nulato. taking into consideration that eight days is all the time necessary
for mail to reach Nenana from Seattle, a letter mailed in Seattle would
Teach Nome just 8 days and six hours after leaving Seattle. Nenana and
Nulato are located in a direct line with Nome. One plane could connect
Nome with Nenana very easily, with a landing field at Nulato the plane
could land and refuel, thereby enabling the plane to carry a less amount
of fuel from Nome or Nenana and having more capacity for mail.
The question will naturally arise, why connect Nome with Nenana
and ■ ignore all the rest of the towns between those places? That is
where the benefit would reach all these places, with Nome as a distribut
ing center or routing point for the mail routes to outlying towns and
districts another plane could successfully give weekly service to all
towns within 300 miles of Nome.
The use of the plane as a mail carrier is not the only use a plane
could be put to with much advantage, in keeping in daily commanica^
tion with the outlying mining camps, the plane would be an idea) machine
for furnishing quick transportation to and from the camps both in trans
porting human freight and small amounts of supplies that are needed
quickly.
Now is the time for the progressive citizens to-get together and
work in a body to bring something to Nome that will benefit every one.
The plane in the states is recognized as a necessary instrument to further
the interests of the commercial world, why not adopt this same plan here,
Just because we happen to live in a country that has ice and snow in the
winter, and we do not happen to have railroads connecting our many
towns is no reason that we cannot be Just as modern as any city in the
world, the fact that we do not possess railroads is a good argument why
wo ahodld have other facilities for travel and communication, and the
plane is with out a doubt the* other facilities.
Aviation would not necessarily'be confined to the summer months
only, winter flying can be successfully performed, it has been proven In
places where the thermometer drops as low if not lower than here. It
will only be a matter of a little while before aviation will have overtaken
ua and passed us, why not facilitate this and make it a possibility right
now. Every live wire in our city will no doubt boost this move, and
that being the case the boosting should be unanimous as Nome has proven
that nothing but boosters and live wires reside in this locality.
The tremendous sale of extra copies of the last edition of the
Nome Nugget proves to us that our efforts have not been in vain. Nome
will benefit tremendously by this trip of the excursionists and we hope
this is only a forerunner of annual excursions to our city from the outside.
