Business Has Found Air
Travel Development.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK. July ll---Airplane FAC
tories today ore combing the other me-
chanical trades for expert machlnists
and workers. This move Is traceable to
the urgent necessity Of speeding up
output to meet demands for constantly
growing commercial aviation systems.
This demand is coming not only from
the heavily populated industrial COM
mercial and agricultural sections Of the
world but from the waste places OF
both hemispheres
There is developing decided dc
mand in the Arctic regions and also IN
the tropics. Business men have found
that the airplane is conServer Of time
and lessener of distance. They are
making these machines the main factor
in business development of territories
which are almost as unknown today as
they were a century ago.
Aviation and Alaska.
Commercial aviation bids fair to bring
back to Alaska the boom days of '9S,
when the eyes of the entire world were
turned on the sands of Nome and the
placerS of the Yukon water sheds.
Aviation in Alaska has had its ups and
downs, but at least it has proved that
flying in the Arctic regions presents few

more hazards than flying in the United
states and that in saving time in
covering great distances over eXtarordi-
nary national obstacles, travel by plane
is the logical thing
The first flight In Alaska was made
in 1918 by Capt. James b. Martin. To-
day there are two commercial aviation
compa MES operating at Anchorage and
Fairbanks. Planes at those two points
are Government inspected and licensed
and operated by licensed pilots They
have regular routes and rate schedules
for both freight and passengers and are
doing a wonderful work in connecting
people in the outlying districts with
business centers, Trips that formerly
took from two weeks to two months by
dog sled are now made in two hours.
Passengers and supplies arc being car
ried for the prospcctor and miner, and
iurs are brought back from the trap
pers in the wilderness.
PhOtOgraphing and Mapping.
Aviation in Alaska and in Northern
Canada has been developed extensively
by it's use for photography and mapping.
Airplanes have even been used for the
herding of reindeer.
In the last year the licensed planes
in Alaska few total OF 1900 hours and
10000 miles. carrying 500 passengers
and 10000 pounds of freight This
year the mileage will unquestionahly be
increased several fold. II is estimated
that the cost in the territory is about
ST per flying mile for passengers. and
cent per flying mile per pound of
freight.
An idea Of the time saved may be
gathered from the fact that when Ben
Eielsen, called The trail-breaker of
commercial aviation In Alaska" opcr-
ated a mail contract in 1923, he made
the round trip between Fairbanks and
McGrath In one day. 1t requires dogs
and sleds 10 days to make the journey
