The Alaska Aircraft Transportation Company. the contemplations of which were recently set forth in this paper. will send its first aeroplane to Valdez
 some time during the present month land will commence a general freight and passenger business between coast points and the interior as soon there after as the essential preparations can
 be completed, according to an Angus. number of the Valdez Miner reaching this office.
 The Miner states that the company is under the direction of men who are thoroughly familiar with the aisplane business in every branch and detail The president and directing head of the new organization is Mir Tod Date, q former Alaskan. The second vice president of the company. Mir. H. F.. ent mining man and capitalist of Val dez where the company will establish it's headquarters in Alaska
 Mir. Date has had 12 years experience in freight and mail delivery in the territory and is said by the Valdez paper to be fully aware of the possi- Utilities of freight carrying by aero plane in Alaska. Mir. Date left Alaska in 1914 and throughout the war period i,l, |, r dustry ana engaged in studying and working on 'airplane problems. both constructive and operative. From May l, 1917 to June i5, 1918. Mir. Date was connected with the Standard Air craft Corporation of Elizabeth. New Jersey. as superintendent of assembly. Later he left the company to become foreman in charge of wing assembly and chief rigger of No. , Assembly at the IT. s. naval aircraft factory at League Island navy yard. He served with the government in such capacity until the signing of the armistice.

 The hangar and construction work of the company will be in charge of l.. G. Stern. chief engineer and con structor who comes direct from the |superintendency of the Glenn l..

The freight load capacity of the machines will be six tons. with which the planes will travel expected to make trips from Valdez to Fairbanks and return with loads of this size in four hours. The round trip from Valdez to Fairbank and re- turn will be made in one day with ease With working period of 1e0 hours per month and an operating ex- pense of so,S54s per mile. it is claimed that the machines can make a profit of $670 so per trip carrying freight at the nominal rate of s. 5 cents per pound This means that if the 12O hour work ing period is fully occupied the com pany will make a profit of $fs,416 per month. according to the Miner state ments The company is said to have been promised all the freight 1t can handle for several months to come and the mails and passengers should more than pay the operating expenses.
 , The feasibility of the project is not doubted by its hackers It is pointed out that the planes used by the gov ernment in carrying mails between New York and Washington have made successful flights through gales blow ing. with Il velocity of 6S miles per hour and never missed a trip During the past year the mail planes have travelled more than les.ooo miles with out accident or without, missing trip on account of weather conditions.
 The Miner comments as follows
 "The coming of these machines will mark new era for Alaska The country Is well adapted to airplanes, which. with runners. could alight any place in winter and rise again. The vast country is practically inaccessible in summer time owing to rapid streams and heavy foliage. In the winter the streams are frozen solid and the vast reaches with crusted snow providing ideal grounds for a plane. The mail service will be augmented and interior points placed not over four hours from the coast"
