.EIELSOV SEEKS MERGE A|RPLANE

COLONEL, IN SEWARD SUNDAY, RETURNING NORTH FROM
 NEW YORK SHORTLY

Rumors to the effect that inter
 estS controlling the Gorst amphi-
 bian plane, while in Anchorage on
 it's initial flight to the headquarters
 town, entered into negotiations for the acquisition of the Anchorage Air Transportation Co.,, interests, were set at rest by A. A. Shonbeck, in Seward Saturday, who has an- nounced that the only negotiations pending for acquisition of his com pany were with Colonel Ben Eiel- son.
 MT. Shonbeck stated Colonel Eielson had opened the subject and it's final disposition will be contin- gent upon Eielson's success in Fair banks.
 As far as can be ascertained, it lis not Eielson's plans to enter into competition with the Gorst plane in business between Alaska and the states. Rather it is his intention to create a powerful Alaska organi- Ization capable of covering all of western Alaska, including excur- isionS or tourist parties to the Arc tic.
 It is known that two of the larg- est airplane transportation com IpanieS in the states have directed enquiries to this portion of the Ter .ritory with view to entering the field. It is believed that Colonel EielSon has at least one of these at his call
 Now that the time between Nome and New York has been reduced to 48 hours, it will soon be possible to eat breakfast in Seward, lunch at Nome and supper at Point Barrow, thus giving the tourist seeking the unusual, an opportunity to see the greater portion of Alaska by air and travel from the north tempera- ture into the Arctic zone and back in 24 hours.
