Pronouncing the Brownsville mu-
nicipal airport one Of the largest
and most efficient in the South,
Colonel Charles Lindbergh, in a
conference with members of the
city commission and airport man
agement Friday morning, stated he
is confident the overland route to
Central and South America, via
New Orleans, Houston, Brownsville
and Tampico, would carry the
heavy volume Of mail and paSsen-
ger traffic.
"This route is safe" the famous
flier said. You cannot foresee the
development of the air traffic that
will flow over this route, and it IS
impossible at this time to advise
relative to improvements to be
made to handle this traffic"
Colonel Lindbergh recommended
construction of an additional run
way for which the city commission
already had made provisions, and
the erection Of additional hangers,
stating that "a huge volume of in
ternational air traffic will be gen.
Grated"
He said that he expected to util-
ize the Brownsville field frequently
in trips from the United States into
the republics south of the Rio
Grande. He commented on the
area of the airport. 480 acres, stat
ing it was sufficient to meet every
requirement for an international
port handling a large volume OF
traffic.
Colonel Lindbergh discussed the
port with considerable enthusiasm
stating that it met every require
ment; that the field had been well
arranged, and that it is competent
ly managed. He expressed his ap-
probation to the city commission
for the courtesies extended and ths

the responsibility of the community to maintain good communication with the Alaska Juneau boarding house in Gold Creek Basin. The men living there, he said, are en- titled to every consideration and the road to the basin should be kept in good condition for their benefit.
 No Meeting Next Week
 Owing to the fact that next Thursday is Thanksgiving, the Chamber will not hold it's regular meeting next week, carrying over any business until the first De- cember meeting.
 A communication was received from the Petersburg Chamber of Commerce notifying the Chamber it had adopted a resolution ask ing for the removal of protection on brown bear and urging that a bounty be put on those animals.
 E. M Goddard, Chairman of the Census Committee, said there are approximately 100 men engaged in the halibut fishing industry out of Juneau who have not been enum- erated to date. At Ketchikan, he added, the Chamber of Commerce, Rotary and City Council are CO., operating with the census enum- orators in the canvass, and he urged local organizations to get in line with like support to the local canvassers.

 Money is of secondary consider ation where scenery is concerned. When one can see honest to good ness scenery such as you have, the cost doesn't matter greatly" he added

 FACILITIES TO

Maj. Frame of flask a. Washington Airways Out
 lines Program for lo3O

l Greatly improved air transpor- tation facilities will be offered to the people of Juneau and the resi- dents of other Southeast Alaska communities next year, according to Maj. G. c. Frame, Division Mana ger of the Alaska Washington Air ways, who made public today some of his company's plans for next year. He spoke at the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce.
 A direct, Seattle-Juneau service. operating twice each week, at least one plane stationed here through out the year, a training school, planes at Ketchikan and Wrangell and nationwide publicity for Alas ka, are some of the things planned lby the company for next year. 1 Bidding On Mail
 The company is now bidding on an air mail contract between Se- attle and Southeast Alaska com munities, Maj. Frame said. It is confident the service will be estab- 1 lished and both mail and express handled next season along with the passenger service.
 Flying boats with a capacity of 16 passengers will be operated on this route. They will carry a crew of three, two pilots and a steward. This service will begin April 1, or earlier if conditions per- init, and it is expected it will be maintained the year through.
 Rates next year, said Mai. Frame, will be materially lower than those in effect during the past season. He did not give any definite figures but said the reduction would be between 20 and 25 per cent, and that annually thereafter as busi- ness was developed there would be other reductions.
 Give Complete Service
 It is the aim of the company, he added, to give Alaskans every kind of service they desire. If one plane is not sufficient to take care of local needs, others will be added. A regular service will be maintain ed between Juneau and canneries in the district and other communi- ties In addition to passenger busi- ness, the plane will be equipped 1 with an aerial camera for photo !! graphy and aerial photography will 1 be done on commercial basis. It is hoped to extend the service as | far west as Cordova. But this 1 does not mark the limit of it's | service. It will be capable of ex- to meet any call "If you want to fly to the North Pole, we'll ! take you there,' the Major asserted.
 Going After Tourists
 The company, it was said, is going out after air travellers from all over the country. On his re- turn to the States, Maj Frame will
The Daily Alaska empire., 1929-11-21

operate airplanes just as he now does automobiles, Mai Frame said There is now being developed a small plane designed just for this purpose. It should be in general use in two years.
 In anticipation of this move ment the company is going to of fer a course of instructions in avi- ation, including ground training. This will be given by pilots on it's ships in Alaska. The plane that will be stationed here, and it is already in the hands of the com pany, has dual control system en- abling the pilot to give proper air training to students.
