GENERAL WILDS PRESTON RICHARDSON
Alaska parts with General Wilds Preston Richard
son. whose death occurred yesterday in Washington, D.
C., with a sincere regret. No man ever came to this Ter1
ritory and made more warm friends. Beginning his car
eer in Alaska as a Lieutenant with the Army road build
ers, he entered into the life of the North-country with
a captivating zest and today, there stands as mon
uments to his enterprise and love of Alaska, roads
and trails the greatest being the Richardson Highway.
A good officer, a good man, broad, tolerate and
genial, General Richardson endeared himself to those
who knew him Pack horses, sleds, autos and men will
follow ovei the roads built by him thru years to come
and it is from these living monuments, especially, that
the memory of the kindly-faced old gentleman who said
good-bye yesterday will forever be recalled by
the citizens of this great empire in the making.
General Wilds Preston Richardson’s roads may
cnimble, his trails grow over or supplanted by more
modern highways, but the seeds he planted are already
bearing fruit, making life brighter and fuller in the
fnendly green country he loved so well.
TWO YEARS AGO TODAY
It was about the year 1376 when Eric the Red point
ed the prow of his little craft to sea and sailed out of
the Norse port in search of new lanes across uncharted
seas He might have been the original Odysseus in his
memorable voyage from the castle of Circe into the mys
tic land of Hades. The ultimate result of that adventure
was the discovery and settlement of Greenland. Many
years later Biarni, son of Heriulf, intent upon spending
the winter with his father, sailed out of Iceland for
Greenland, wandering the sea and sailing by instinct,
sought the land of his father. And on that memorable
voyage he encountered what is set down in the old Norse
bagas as “Vineland,” believed to be America.
Since that day the sea and the Norseman have be
come practically svnonimous terms ,with the blood of
Eric the Red and Biarni blazing the trails of the sea to
the farthest corners of the earth.
Two vears ago today, with no more seas to con
quer the Norseman lifted his eyes to the sky and Colonel
Charles A. Lindergh leapt from earth to challenge the
uncharted seas of the air.
Like the old Viking who sought Vahalla via the
sea, Lindbergh plunged into the unknown. He found his
living Vahalla on Labourget Flying Field, Paris, when
he sailed out of the night, having traversed the air trails
from New York to Paris alone and unassisted, thus set
ting up another monument to the Norse courage and
spirit of adventure.
Wonder if the seizure of the five American fish
boats will command as much attention as the sinking
of the booze-boat ‘Tm Alone?” We’ll venture the opinion
it will not.
In view of the recent dispatch wherein it was report
ed the general land office had rejected 5,528 oil drilling
applications, or permits, and that 2,128 permits have al
ready been cancelled, it would seem the* Hoover oil con
servation program —not applicable to Alaska—might
compel oil men to turn their eyes and efforts Alaska
ward. There is oil as well as gold in Alaska.

FIRMS. ALASKA
COLONEL, IN SEWARD SUNDAY,
RETURNING NORTH FROM
NEW YORK SHORTLY
Rumors to the effect that inter
ests controlling the Gorst amphi
bian plane, while in Anchorage on
its initial flight to the headquarters
town, entered into negotiations for
the acquisition of the Anchorage
Air Transportation Co., interests,
were set at rest by A. A. Shonbeck,
in Seward Saturday, who has an
nounced that the only negotiations
'pending for acquisition of his com
pany were with Colonel Ben Eiel
json.
Mr. Shonbeck stated Colonel ]
jEielson had opened the subject and j
its final disposition will be contin
gent upon Eielson’s success in Fair- 1
i banks.
As far as can be ascertained, it
| is not Eielson’s plans to enter into
competition with the Gorst plane
in business between Alaska and the
states.. Rather it is his intention
to create a powerful Alaska organi- .
zation capable of covering all of j
western Alaska, including excur- I
sions or tourist parties to the Arc- j
tic.
It is known that two of the larg- 1
est airplane transportation com
panies in the states have directed
enquiries to this portion of the Ter
ritory with a view to entering the
field. It is believed that Colonel
Eielson has at least one of these at
his call.
Now that the time between Nome
and New York has been reduced to j
48 hours, it will soon be possible to
eat breakfast in Seward, lunch at
Nome and supper at Point Barrow,
thus giving the tourist seeking the j
unusual, an opportunity to see the
greater portion of Alaska by air
and travel from the north tempera
ture into the Arctic zone and back
in 24 hours.
TO CHRISTEN BOAT?
It is reported that the Rolph No.
3, formerly the Buffalo, will soon j
be launched next week into the I
blue waters of Resurrection Bay
and shortly thereafter begin carry
ing freight between Seward, NuKa
Bay and Cook Inlet.
