ALASKA WANTS
AERIAL SERVICE
Trip of Army Flyers
Marks New Epoch in
North

NEW YORK, Sept. Military
and civilian aeronautical experts de-
clare that the completion recently
Of the trip of four American army
aviators from New York to Nome,
Alaska, was as epochal in its military
and commercial importance as Bile
riots first flight across the English
channel since it opens Alaska to aero
nautics.
Reports state that the Alakans are
determined to bring about regular
communication through the air and
now look to the government to foster
the new project.
As the result of the flight, it is
said, an aerial route has been pho
tographed and charted diagonallyI
across the United States, Canada and
Alaska, with tentative supply and
air service sites.
The Air Board states that the fol-
lowing has been accomplished by the
fight:
An effective areial route to the
northwest corner of the Americana
continent and Asia has been estab-
lished. Inaccessible areas in Alaska
which had never been mapped have
been chartered and photographed.
Usefulness of the airplane as a
means of transport, both for mail,
passengers and freight has been
demonstrated. Necessity Of landing
fields, and service supply stations
throughout the United States and its
territories has been shown.
Durability of modern airplanes and
motors has been proved and it has
been learned that flying is safe, even
over territory where transport by
railroad, automobile, and wagon isl
considered extremely dangerous.
The report of Captain st. Clair
Street, who was in command of the
expedition, states that the flyers con-
siiered the route across the Eastern
States, as having few landing fields
and not ideal in any instance. The
Middle West and Canada, he said, as
far as Edmonton, was ideal.
The expedition sighted innumera-
able glaciers" said Captain Street,
land rain, low fog and clouds were
prevalent Yukon and Alaska are
rough and partly forested, and af-
ford no natural landing places ex-
cept on river bars, but the route from
Wrangell to Nome is ideal for water
planes"
