New Airport At Anchorage

Arrangements have been com pleted' for the building of new airport at Anchorage and it is hoped to have the field. which will be standard in size, ready for use by fall. It will be built under cooperative agreement between the city and the Territorial board of road commissioners.
 All work will be done by con- tract. the city council having in sisted upon this provision. Two contracts will be let. one for clear ing the runways and a second for levelling up the field and putting it in shape for use by airplanes. Runways will be 2,OOO feet in length. Negotiations are yet to be concluded by the city for ob- taining land in the desired area from the government but it is be- lieved it can be acquired without difficulty.
 The council has rejected the proposal that the city use tha land on leasing basis. believing it to be entitled to a permanent title, especially since it has already created subdivision of the city, E. H. Barndollar, T. s. Bevers. and Ray Mathewson, who previous ly acquired tracts in the area. have deeded their land to the city.
 Two thousand dollars has beer put up for the project by the Territorial road board and an equal amount by Anchorage 1t was first suggested by R.

 HISTORY OF WORLD

GALUPP, New Mexico, Sept. 6, R- Twenty-one airplanes, the first unit of an aerial armada, seeking the lost airliner City of San Francisco. today inaug- urated the first airplane search in the history of the world, in so far as great numbers of planes are now spread out all over the coun- try, when they took off this morn ing to survey the wide areas of ground surrounding Galupp. This unit is part of fleet of over seventy planes, which are now on the easiest part of the search.
 When the lost liner left Albur- queque for Winsfow Tuesday with eight persons aboard, the weather was poor, being cloudy and poor visibility, added to also by the hazard of rough and forbdding country, consisting of rugged mountains. dead volcanoes. and lava washes, which offered little chance for a forced landing.
 A reward of five thousand dol lars has been offered and which has served to spur hundred swarthy Senui Indians on to ev- en greater efforts in their search for some indication of the lost plane. Cowboys, motorists, and others have also joined in the search.
