Editor The st. Paul Echo:
A short time ago through one of
my st. Paul friends, was fortunate
enough to receive a copy of The st.
Paul Echo. Naturally 1 was inter-
ested in the paper because I had
been in st. Paul such a short time
ago, and because 1 soon discovered
after reading the issue that the pa
per covered the news of it's territory
completely.
am using this method of convey
ing to you every good wish for the
success of the paper. I congratulate
you upon your initial endeavor; it
was crackerjack.
Very sincerely,
H. HUDSON WEATHERS, JR.

ANOTHER FLIGHT PLANNED WAY
 ALASKA 1925

SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 7.-Haakon Hammer arrived here yesterday on the steamship Tenyo Maru from Japan He announced that he is making plans for a test flight from London to Tokio via Alaska, in search of commercial aviation route. He said the 5000 miles could be covered in 50 hours with but two stops for fuel. Hammer declared he had obtained the cooper ation of the Japanese government in the enterprise and denied that he was connected with AaOld Amundsen in any way. He declared that Amund- sens plans to fly over the North Pole failed on account of opposition of the Isalian government.
 Hammer said the longest hop from London to Tokio would be from Spitz- bergen to Alaska, 1900 miles, which lis only half the distance flown by Kelly and Macready on nonstop coast to coast flight" He said cOndi- tions along the proposed route were ideal for flying between May and Sep tember, and that such route would be valuable to the country from strat- egic standpoint. He concluded: "The flight will be made this year if ar engagements can be completed"
