SIX MILLIONS
NEEDED FOR j,
S. AERO FLEET.
Pensacola Chamber of Com
merce To Aid In Getting
Appropriation.
TO
GO TO WASHINGTON
Two Million Recommended,
But This Is Deemed
Insufficient.

That determined effort is being
made throughout the United States
to increase the efficiency and scope of
the naval aeroplane service, was the
statement of G. E. Dobson to Jour
nal representative yesterday.
To supplement the policy of the
government, which is to push aero
nautics, the Pensacola Chamber Of
Commerce will do all in its power,
and viii probably send representa-
tive to Washington to keep Florida's
representatives conversant with the
requirements of this arm of the serv-
ice, which needs greatly augmented
appropriations, because of the in
creasing size Of equipment and ex-
pense of experimentation.
While Pensacola is taking proni-
nent part in the movement-this be-
ing the home of naval aeronautics-
it was shown that this phase Of pre-
paredness is being emphasized by the
friends Of aviation everywhere.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels has
recommended minimum appropria-
ton of 100000 for naval aero
tics for the ensuing year, which is
an increase of 100 per cent over last
years appropriation; but according
to Captain Mark Bristol, head of the
naval air service here, between ten
and twelve millions are needed.
The local chomber of commerce,
however, will make a campaign on a
six million dollar basis, as the chance
of getting this figure through con-
gress are more favorable.
A representative from the local
chamber will be sent to Washington
to confer with our representatives,
and every effort will be made to Sc
cure the appropriation by the amend
ment route.
The program includes the estab-
lishment of other aeroplane bases in
the United States, in addition to per-
| fecting resources here.
Commenting on the recent propa-
ganda of the Aero Club of America.
G. E. Dobson, said:
II
sacola at all-but an attack on the
niggardly policy followed by congress
| in the past, of which we are today
reaping the results. When the Re-
publicans attack Wilson for our in
! adequate aeroplane service, they for
get that until the present admins
| tration, no serious attention was paid
| to aeronautics at all. Last years
Observation-Disclosures as it was
was twice that what it had beer
before. 1t is our effort, and the eff.
fort of all thinking men in the United
States, who realize how important
naval air scouting is, to increase the
appropriation to the limit"
Continuing, Mr.. Dobson said thai
the guiding spirit of the Aero club
while enthusiastic and sincere, were
not scientific. The statement that
America is selling up-to-date hydro
planes in Europe and using antiquat
ed stuff at home, he characterized al
absurd, for the reason that there /:
not a good hydro-aeroplane engine
manufactured in the United States
today. There is not one that will run
five hours without breaking down.
Because of the weight of hydro
planes, a special type of engine mus

ALASKA DRY

This column is printed day after day to place before the voters of this section of Alaska the facts and figures of the Liquor Traffic and the ACTUAL RECORD of Prohibition.
 We believe that these facts and figures present such a ghastIy array of sacrificed lives, hopes, ambitions, honor and wealth that none but the fool would eXaggerate them.
 Prohibition is no new experiment in actual working effect in over 72 per cent of the area of the United States and its effects have been so clean, so wholesome, so beneficial to morals, to health and to business, that we believe that if the voters of Alaska had access to the simple facts of the liquor traffic, and the bona fide record of its Prohibition they would in the coming Refer endum, on November 7, Vote Oyer- whelmingly for ALASKA DRY".

A. Wlttenberg got a letter from his son Leo announcing the safe arrival of the schooner Challenge at Herschel Island with all we'll on board and everything lovely. He had to pay high duty to the Canad- ians on all their trading supplies but expected to realize hugely upon the trading cargo. Leo set out about September 3rd, he wrote the day be- fore, on September 2, from Her. schel, for Victoria land where he expected to do we'll He wrote ill a very optimistic strain.
 A. Wlttenberg reports putting up the Sea Wolf high and dry and out of danger of wind and weather. He found that owing to the caulking having left the seams and one plank being sprung, he could not launch the schooner without a con- plete overhauling, so he determined to put the craft high and dry until next summer or spring when repairs could be effected. He says the in- juries sustained by the schooner are slight and will be easily repair ed. Commodore Wittenberg had a thrilling experience while in charge of his wreCking crew. They had taken insufficient grub along and this was consumed before the work was concluded. He set out himself in an open boat with two natives to get some supplies for the camp. He had to go out on the high seas because the lagoons were frozen and this was some task owing to the stormy weather. Several times it looked as if he had bade farewell to mother earth but he escaped after a very trying ordeal and brought the grub to the camp.

Captain Ernest Miller of the Hudson Bay Co.'S trading launch Fort MacPherson arrived yesterday on the Belinda from Teller where he reached on the Herman. He has been over to Victoria Land in the far north and brings what is prob ably the last word on explorer Stefannson who is wintering in Winter Bay. He saw and spoke to Pete Bernard who was well and Stefannson had made all prepara- tions for further exploration of the new land which he had discovered in the Far North. Captain Miller says that the Hudson Bay Co is branching out and has established three more stations and it is the company intention to open up the trading districts throughout all of the Arctic Canada, from west to east. They are going to take in another boat and he will supervise the installation of the engines, etc on the new trading craft. He thinks that Victoria Land with its vast de- posits of native copper is one of the greatest things in the world, and he outvies Geologist O'Neill of the Dr. Anderson branch of the Stef- annson expedition in praise of the country. He brings down wonder heads etc made by the natives from the raw native copper. He says that he has pictures of the so-called blonde eskimo but he judges from their anatomical characteristics that they are not eskimos at all.
