Another dream of aviation enthu-
siasm was realized recently when

proximately as feet in width and in
length about 80 feet. The width of
the airplane used by Vedrines is 80
feet. Vedrines is said to be plan

VISITED NORTH

Juneau Despatch: Count Bern storff, the German ambassador to the URited States, made a trip to Alaska and the Yukon in 1906, ac- cording to Doctor F. L. Goddard Of Sitka, as well as others. Doctor Goddard recalls seeing Bernstorff a board the steamer Humboldt the night Joseph Macdonald made the assault on the captain at the Tread well deck. Also Whitehorse of fiCials recall that man answering to Bernstorffs description passed through as far as Dawson. He was travelling under an assumed name and had several travelling compan- ions.
 Just what Bernstorff's mission was to the north is not known, or why be should make the trip in se- crecy. It is supposed he continued down the river, returning to Seat tie via Nome and the outside pass age. It is also known the Hum- boldt that trip made most of the Southeast Alaska ports at night, and the weather was so rainy and stormy it is possible the German ambassador did not have an op- portunity to gain much information regarding the mines and canneTies.
 At the preliminary hearing of Macdonald for the assault On the Humboldt captain, certain witnesses testified that a man speaking brok- en English was shielded behind one Of the air-funnels with a woman companion. This man made one or two sly remarks while MacDon- aid was walking the dock in a rage which made Macdonald furious Eventually, becoming so mad, he lost all control, MacDonald "bawl- ed" out the two people, particular ly the woman. They beat nasty retreat to their staterooms. The man was Bernstorff.
 Later a complaint was lodged at Washington regarding the action of MacDunald at the dock from the German consulate. This complaint caused ths Department of Justice to cheek up, resulting in the vigorous prosecution of Macdonald.
 It was Bernstorff who made the complaint, and who was aboard the Humboldt with a strange wo- man companion.

 Wet and slushy weather On the evening of November 29, the date set for the Skagway (Alaska) w. C. T. U. patriotic medal contest, did not in the least dampen the en- thusiasm of guests and partici- pants," writes Mrs. L. A. Harrison, treasurer of the Skagway w. c. T. U. "The Presbyterian church, in which the meeting was held, was packed and the audience missed no opportunity of showing drought hearty applause it's evident appIov- al of everything that was said and done, Our goal was the raising ot $36.5O with which to adopt anoth- CT French orphan, for although the Skagway w. C. T. U. can boast of only about twenty members, it has already adopted one French war or plan. We received in the silver of fering $S4.S2, and believe that the balance will be handed in before the next steamer sails. Miss Lois Butt, primary school teacher, is our con test superintendent, and an untirlng worker. She is ably aided-by Miss MaeI Stone, a high school teacher, who drills the children in singing. We hope before the winter is over to have a grand gold contest"

Captain estimates, will take about ten
hours, so that the landing at the other

After a stop over night to replenish
fuel and food and look over the sea-
plane, Capt. Sundstedt will continue
his trip at the next afternoon. ~.
Johns is 100 miles almost due west

taken by Capt. SundsteGt will be fur

than two miles to get into the cold air

that his seaplane would use UP its fuel

Sundstedt remained and took out his
first citizenship papers.
Although he could not fly he planned,
and planned so ingeniously that Chris
topher Hannevig. Norwegian banker,
became convinced that 6undstedt really
could fly across the ocean. He fur
nished the financial backing necessary,
for the Captain himself was not
wealthy, and last July the Captain be-
gan the designing Of the great sea-
plane which Is now ready. Add the
fact that he has in the cabin of his
transatlantic fiier an image of an ele-
plant with upcurled trunk and always
carries with him when flying a SIM

The seaplane he designed differs
from other big hydroairplanes chiefly
In its lighter weight, for Capt. Sund-

preparation for the trip spent much
Of his time on the elimination of heavy

though thirty-two feet long and ex'
tremely sturdy, weigh only 400 pounds
