they located. Fat reindeer is the best meat in the North and thin rein deer about the poorest, according to Captain Bernard. Next to fat rein deer the highest living in the Arctic, he said, was wolf, whose meat was lean streaked with fat, having the flavor of fine lamb. Varied fare of this kind would be possible if the party camped on the coast of the con- tinent, whereas polar bear would be the mainstay if they wintered on Mel vile Island.
 Captain Bernard said that if ice con- ditions were normal this summer the party organized by Stefansson which raised the British flag on Wrangell Island, might be rescued. He said that experienced Arctic men could easily live the year round on the isl and, having polar bear as the chief article of diet, and that there was no reason to be pessimistic about the fate of the party.

ALASKA FLIGHT IS PLANNED
 BY PRIEST

EAGLE, Feb. 14.-'I found Prest's airplane in good condition, but I broke some parts of it while bring ing it to Eagle. I do not think he will rebuild it this season, for from a letter received from him dated last October he intends building thick wing cabin biplane this year and shipping it to Fairbanks in order that it may be in good shape to start with.
 His order of flying as now in tended will be with Fairbanks as the starting point, thence to Nome and Point Barrow, along the Coast east to Herschael Island, down to Dawson and Eagle and back to Fair banks.
 "An article in recent New York paper says he is planning on trip around the world in an airship.
 DUDNEY."
 Above is the wire received from Deputy Marshal Dudney in respone to an inquiry from the Fairbanks News relative to the recent salvage of the wrecked airplane Of w. o. Prest, the aviator, as recorded in recent news dispatches.
 Aviator Prest was wrecked on the last jump of his journey to Fair banks, where he had an engagement to perform. Marshall Dudney head ed a search party which met Prest coming in, and at a point 45 niles out from Eagle. At that time Prest, hungry and tired from his eXper- fences, declared that he would never try to salvage the airboat, but since he has rested up and forgotten that experience it is only natural that he has reconsidered that decision. Prcst is for the commercial branch If fly ing, being a practical young man, and he has the idea that he can make few dollars by maintaining an airship route through this country. with Fairbanks as the jumping off place.
 So it may be expected that he will make the flight here next Fourth of July.
 Also in Fairbanks is Prof. Ellison of the Fairbanks High Schools, who is a commercial aviator of note Back in the middle west in his own home camp he organized a company of local friends and they bought two airships during their time and the
The Cordova daily times., 1923-02-15

commercial earnings through Prof. Eielson's flying not only paid for both machines but left a profit and one of the machines behind it.
 Prof. Eielson can see future for commercial flying from Fairbanks and when his school work is over for the season may endeavor to form local company, or one in cluding friends of his who have been in such ventures with him, and establish an air-service between Fair banks and the coast towns, McKin- ley National Park, Dawson or the antishna-wherever men need to go in hurry or wish to get to a point where they will pay well to get there. There is no reason why such a company could not be formed here.
 This ought to be a good year for flying machines in the Fairbanks ulSlllct' Il lhere are HhdcnlHeS heie to do the flying. There will be tour ist travel in plenty this year-and 25,O00 tourists visited Alaska last year where 30,OOO or more will visit it this year. More of them than ever before will see Fairbanks, as the railroad will b ebroadguaged to Fairbanks by that time.

CHICAGO, Feb. 15.-Sappho had a wrinkled neck and Cleopatra a flat nose. If Venus would appear today she would be classed as a truck horse, while the Queen of Night would look like washerwoman caught walking down a boulevard.
