TWO AIRPLANE LANDINGS ARE
 TO BE BUILT
Sommers, Back from Inter for, Announces Plans for
 Aiding Air Service

Arrangements nave been made for installing modern and up-to- date lighting equipment on the Fairbanks airplane landing field, it was announced today by R. J. Sommers, Territorial Highway Engineer, who returned last night after a trip to the interior metropolis. Plans for construct ing two new landing fields have also been made, he said.
 One of these will be located at Anchorage and will be built CO., operatively by the Territory and the city government Detailed plans are being made up and it is expected work will start in the near future. The second field will be for the town of Cordova and will be located at Mile IS, on the Copper River & North western Railroad, the closest point that a suitable site could be obtained.
 Expect Good Year
 The lighting of the Fairbanks field, MT. Sommers said, will be the very latest type. It will be identical with the system used in lighting the landing fields on air mail routes in the States and will make possible night land ings at all seasons of the year. The Fairbanks air transport companies are assured of another year. Recently one of them was awarded five special trip mail contracts by the Post office Department, providing mail service to number of remote communities and districts during the period of the breakup.
 Oldtimers at Fairbanks predict a late breakup this Spring. Up to the time of MT. Sommers' de- parture last week, there had been no warm weather, nights being cold and no appreciable warmth

Among them were communica- tions from Kotzebue Sound, Nome and other Seward Peninsula points, the upper and lower Yu- kon River. the upper Koyukuk River. and the Kuskokwim River districts.
 Some of them came by dog team from remote villages to points on subsidized air mail routes and from there were dis patched by plane. Under ordi- nary conditions, most of this mail would not have reached here for many weeks, some of it from Seward Peninsula probably not until about the first Of next July.

 brecht Gains In Third

With no additional returns re- ceived from last Tuesdays pri- mary election in this Division. there had been no change in the respective positions of Leroy No land and A. L Olts for the fourth place as Representative on the Republican ticket. Telegrams re- ceived here said the latter had carried Hoonah and Yakutat, as expected, but the vote was not given.
 Returns from the Third Diyi- sion cut into the lead of Capt. A. E. Lathrop for National Commit teeman but left him 4Si votes ahead of Major G. ". Albrecht. They also added q votes to the lead of Dr. w. H. Chase over w. H. Caswell. Lathrop's total to date was 2,705 and Albrechts, 2,221.
 Caswells vote as reported to the Empire was 1890, and Dr. Chase had 2,723, giving the latter a lead of S33 on the reported vote.
 Reports received today by Gas wells supporters here said he had carried Yakutat by heavy ma jority and also got a good vote at Hoonah. He was expected to carry one or two other Indian precincts, but it did not seem pos sible for him to overcome his opponents big lead.
