 Lieut.. Eielson stated to, the Gate way yesterday the company's plans call for seven planes, spare parts and motors, and as it is their intention to have a series of heated hangers, five new hangers will be built.
 In comparison of weather condi- tions, Lieut.. Eielson said there is but one-fifth as muofh fog in the interior of Alaska as there is around New York. The temperature is not as cold as one might imagine. and airplanes have been successfully operated by the Air Mail and Fairchild Aerial Sur veys (of Canada) at much lower tenn peratures than that found in Alaska The Interior routes ara. shielded to, the south by the Alaska Range (highr est mountains in America) and to the north lby the Endicott Range, so there; are no serious winds OF storms The weather, flying, the year around, is much better than New York weather, becaus the interior part of Alaska does not have the fog and storms that are common in the East. Nome is about the only part. of the Territory where storms may be encountered. Generally the weather is remarkably clear the-entire year around.
 In the middle of the winter, when lighh conditions are the worst, fair daylight is enjoyed for five. to six hours a day. Also, during the rest of the, day and night the light is good enough for flying, because of the light from tn emoOn;. stars, and the snnwS In the winter many dog team drivers travel at night, because the light is good and the trail much better than during thesday.
