SAN DIEGO, Calf, Oct. 23.-The
complexion OF naval warfare has
changed materially since the World
war.
Airplsnes have come to play 2
major part in naval tactics and
strategy. Where. during the war.
planes were employed largely in an
auxiliary capacity. now they are az
once the eyes and a striking arm Of
the fleet.
The mission Of aircraft in the
fleet is 20 assist the fleet in achiev-
ing victory. To insure their pres
ence al a naval battle. aircraft
must be transported to the scene OF
battle or surface vessels.
In order 70 be employed in the
naval battle, aircraft must be SO de-
signed as to be capable Of operation
from the decks Of the vessels on
which they are transported. In or
der TO be effectively and efficiently
employed in a nvsl battle, they
must be operated by skilled techni-
cal men who have a thorough know
ledge Of the principles ard tactics
Of naval warfare.
These officers must also be thor
oughly trained and skilled in the
technique Of operating aircraft un-
der special and unusual conditions.
The aircraft employed with the
mobile fleet are Of three general
types: fighting planes. observation
planes and torpedo or bombing
planes.
Fighting planes are singlo-scat.
performance planes. armed
with machine guns. whose primary
mission is the destruction OF enemy
aircraft. Fighting planes are spe-
cially constructed landplanes. and
are operated from the decks or car
riers. Observation planes are two
seat planes. armed with machine
guns and equipped with radio. This
tyre is employed to control and
make effective the major gunfire Of
the battle line. This tyne Is also
employed in scouting snd in certain
other functions. These spotters are
carried on the battleships end arc
launched into the air from cstapults.
The observatio planes are used for
scouting and other purposes and are
ordinarily carried by carriers. and
operated from the carriers flight

Naval Ayiators
The first step in the responsible
task of training personnel to oper-
ate naval aircraft consists IN select
ing physically qualified officers who
possess the necessary knowledge Of
maritime affairs ard Of naval tao
tics. and in sending them TO the
flight training school NJ Pensacola.
where they receive a nine months
intensive course Of instruction in
flying aircraft.
Those who successfully complete
this nine months course Of training
are designated naval aviators. They
are then sent 20 the fleet where
the second step in their training
consists Of air operations from the
decks Of naval vessels in fleet ma
neuvers.
Year after year in the fleet these
naval aviators are taught the pur-
pose for their flying and receive
training and experience in combined
and co-ordinated tactis in fleet OBJ
erations and fleet m%aneuvers.
Aircraft must OF necessity orer-

A storm which began Octob- CT 2S and ragged for more than a week did considerable dam age at Nome, crippled ship ping and delayed the unload ing of the steamers Victoria and Sierra. The roadway was washed out along the water front as was the bridge at Belmont Point, and high water was undermining the bulkhead in the rear of business houses. The Victoria was anchored 5even miles off shore and the Sierra was near Egavik. Two barges were sunk but other vessels found shelter behind Sledge Island.

They will be equip ped to recover gold, which is found throughout the gravels, as we'll as tin. There is approx imately 15 miles of ground to be dredged.

around the Aleutians.
 Fourty-four Sitka spruce trees were planted on a small island near Unalaska in 1854 by Bishop Inokenty, of the old Russian Alaska Company. These trees took to their new surroundings and were appar- ently on the way to providing future timber on the islands, but for some reason unknown to scientists they refused to propagate. No seeds sprang up to make seedlings; no shoots tapped off the roots to make new growth. The A trees grew slowly, reached a diameter of from 6 to Is inches at the base, maximum height of 32 feet and are still growing, but when they mature and die it seems probable that the flor est on the Aluetians" will die also, leaving nothing but the luxuriant grasses which abound on the islands, grow ing to height of six feet or more. With the temperature on the Aleutians practically stat ionary, and rarely below zero, and with soil promoting lux uriant growth of vegetation, other than trees, the dying for est on the island remains an- other unsolved mystery in natures puzzle book.

Fresh as a daisy after an 880-mile row from Juneau, Hugh Clinton Smith arrived in Seattle recently. Smith, who is mill worker, was in Juneau last August, when he got the idea of going to Seattle for the winter. The fare $23, seemed
 steep to him, so he filled a couple of gasoline tins with fresh water, bought a few pounds of bacon and soda bis cults and showed off. He didn't have a sextant and never thought of bringing along a map, but he had a tarpaulin,

some blankets, a tin stove, coffee pot and axe, so he made out fine. Occasionally when the beach was too far away and a brisk wind or tide aided
 progress, the navigator just set his stove on the water cans, fed it a few scraps of wood
 and cooked his meal. Smith made stops at Ketchikan, Prince Rupert and other ports.

Ross Hockey, former Valdez man, who is now operating a coal property on Coal Creek, in the Chickaloon district has made a discovery of what he believes to be Gilsonite, on Boulder Creek, ten miles east of Chickaloon, and has sent samples of his find to the States to have it tested. Gill sonite is a dull black substance, something like coal tar, and is in reality a solidified petrole- um. It is worth about $50 per ton and the only place it is mined to any extent in the United States is in the north eastern part of Utah where it occurs in vertical veins of 2 to 4 feet, extending for miles across the country. It is used in the making of varnishas and hard rubber. It occurs on Boulder Creek, it is said, in great masses, indicating a possible new source of wealth for Alaska.

Jack Manhattan recently brought the following bear story to Fairbanks from Nome Creek, where he was sharing cabin with Louis Smith, prospector and trapper. The ,wo men had been out hunting md brought in two caribou and a sheep and hung a quart CT of the sheep outside the cabin door. Furthermore, they were so energetic that they de- cided to clean out the cabin and moved everything, includ- ing rifles, tables and chairs, outside so they could muck out. While busily engaged in- tide the cabin, they heard a noise outside and Louis look ed out to see what it was about. A big glacier bear had
 orn quarter of meat off the hook and was about to enjoy himself. The bear made a swipe at Louis which would have torn him loose from his mukluks had it landed, but Louis ducked back into the cabin and bolted the door. In fact there was nothing else to do. The two men were inside and the bear was outside, dragging the meat away. Louis very cautiously opened the door again and reached for his rifle, just around the door jamb, and then sighted thru the latch hole, plugging MT. Bruin before he disappeared in the trees. They thought he had seriously wounded the ani- nal as he dropped the meat and tore around in the under growth. They were about to sally forth armed to the teeth, when another bear was seen trying to climb the ladder to the cache where the rest of the fresh meat was stored. They shot this bear and it went off into the woods growing. They waited for some time, lot knowing how deadly their 3hots had been, and here's the point of the whole story. When they finally went out to find the two bears were dead, they came back to inspect their cache and found the meat all gone. A third bear which they believe had been reconnoiter- ing the premises, got to the cache, got the meat and got away.
