CURTIS CONFIDENT OF
"AMERICA'S" SUCCESS

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE)
is perfect except for practically one
detail. and that this is so. is really a
great and exceptional achievement
we believe, because TO build a double
sized model Of the Curtiss hydroplane
and have it behave exactly as we'll as
the regular size model Is a much
harder problem than appears on the
surface.
We are most highly grauded at the
immediate solution the America
made Of the gravest of the problems
we felt a transatlantic flyer would
have to meet
First our initial test disclosed the
fact that she was strong enough TO
carry through the air the required
load of 1000 pounds and at the speed
necessary for the successful compile
ton OF her set task. And, secondly.
we found that she would travel in the
air with one engine dead for so long
time as ten hours, a thing a hydro
plane with two engines had never
done before. And this meant to US
that she could actually fly the Allan
tic on half fuel by alternating the
use of the engines every ten hours.
But, of course, to be on the safe
side, we want the America to be able
to lift and to carry enough fuel to
run both engines at the same time
and not for 20 hours, but for "a
hours. AS the America weighs
she must raise and keep in
motion is about 1000 pounds.
Porte Trails PontOOns
THE one problem, detail as il has
always seemed to me, still left to
solve, is the one of getting the Amer
lea to plane in the water with the
required load. She carries beautiful
ly any weight in the air, but does not
rise from the water readily enough
with the weight. SO far she has been
able to raise from the water no more
than 100 pounds We are now eX-
perimenting with pontOOns placed on
either side of her hull to see if the
greatly increased surface of the float
alton presented to the waves in this
manner won't help her to mount rap
idly into the air.
Lieut.. Porte is very much in
favor of the use of the pontoon on
the America so, if he is forced to
land at sea, she can jump up into the
air again Therefore we are doing
everything we can to construct some
successful pontoons for him.
Il am of the opinion personally
that we shall eventually have simply
to add to the America more planning
surface, this to be placed low on eth
er side of the hull, where the pontoons
now are, and to add, besides two
submerged fins. Then / am certain
that she will lift her ton load out of
the waves like the great swimming
eagle she is and the Atlantic will be
crossed for the first time"

Opening Up Alaska

The passage of the Alaska railroad bill by the house, by overwhelming vote, emphasizes again the value of the campaign of education systematically carried on by the Seattle Chamber of Commerce for three years past, says the Post-IDtelliRencer Now this bill only needs detailed adjustment in con- ference to receive the signature of the president and become a law. Then will follow constructive development that will bring the territory into ifs own. To the men whose united action at Washington has made tbis splendid outcome possible Alaska and tbe whole of the Pacific coast will be eternally grateful
 Additional egislation is also aesured. Authorization of the building of rail- road from the coast to the interior is but the first step in opening up the rich country. The administration and con- gress are committed to policy of real development-which means that Alas ka's dreams are speedily to come true.
 The shipping interests on the Pacific will be gratifed to learn from the re. cent address of Secretary Redheld, be- fore the Cham Der of Commerce of the United States, that he is fully awake to the necessity of providing additional aids to navigation in Alaska waters. No part of the coast line of the United States, nor indeed of any other civilized country, is SO painfully lacking in such aids as is the coast line of Alaska.
 There are upwards of 400 steamships year plying between Seattle and the ports of Alaska. The toll taken of life and property through the absence of proper charting of the waters and proper aids to navigation is an eppal- ling one. No year passes without the recording of the loss of some vessel through striking an uncharted rock or through the absence of proper liRhts and beacons.
 But all this is to be belatedly rem- edied.

] -Father Dunean on War Path

] Father Duncan on War Path
 The Petersburg Progressive sayg Partly as an expression of defiance to the United States, and partly to punish bis "children," as the white-haired priest calls the Simpsean Indians of Metlakahtla, on Annette island, for their rebellious action in demanding a government school, Father Duncan, the aged missionary, cut off the fresh water supply of the village. Ever since the secretary of the interior issued the order for the establishment of a gov ernment school on the island, a hostile move on the part of the missionary has been expected, but the shutting off of the water supply had never been thought of and came as a surprise.
 In ts predicament, the natives, to gether with the government school teachers, appealed to Governor Strong, who issued a peremptory order to the old missionary to start the water through the pipes again. With the impudence and dignity of a Napoleon, he paid not the least attention to the governors order, and by his action made it perfectly clear that he holds with as much contempt the powers that be at Washington. Superintendent Beattie was ordered to proceed to the island to see what could be done, but SO far no satisfactory settlement of the trouble has been effected and the na- tives are still carrying water with buckets.
 All, however, seems but to strengthen the natives in their resolve to break from the control of their "father," and to fight for tbeir declared object of civic and commercial freedom and full American citizenship. The old mis. siouary, on the other hand, holds to his contention that they are but children incapable to manage their own affairs who have become rebellious and there- fore in need of a severe disciplining.
 Only twelve or fifteen of bis old fol. lowers now remain with him. His school has dwindled to almost nothing, while the attendance at the government school is daily increasing.
 1t is said that there is still a love and veneration among the natives for the old gentleman who led them to their 1 present stage of civilization, where with awakened am bition, they now demand further advancement. While openly hostile on week days, when Sunday comes around every man, woman and child of the village gather at the church that Fatber Duncan built, where they worship and receive his blessings as they have since the year of 1887.
