"A TRIP OVER
 CENTRAL AMERICA
Subject of Address By Igor I. SikOrsky at the Gen.
 tral YMCA
WITH ILLUSTRATIONS

The latest thing in travelcgue was both seen and heard at the Central Y. M. c. A. last evening when Igor I. Sikorsky gave an illustrated iec- ture on "A Trup Over Central America. Scientists, inventors an ex-
 ecutive of one of the foremost and best known corporations in the country, Mr Sikorsky is also . lec- turer of great ability. According to Roy F. Smith, director of Christian education at the Y. M. c. A. The
 speaker held his audience Of over
 100 young men spell bound for an
 hour while he explained and en-
 larged upon the unusual pictures thrown upon the screen. Starting
 from Bridgeport MT Sikorsky des- ney until he and his party reached their final destination in Central America. The entire flight of some 5000 miles was covered without mis- hap in spite of the fact that the ship in which they travelled, type S-SS, was forced to weather some biind- ing storms and land in some unde- sirable places. According to Mir Si-
 korsky the ship proved its "air-wor.
 thiness" when it sailed serenely
 through rain storms that nearly ob. scured all vision. Imagine yourself if you can", he said, 'in a submarine
 with the water rushing by and you
 will get the same sensation we had
 travelling through these terrific trop-
 ical starms."
 Some of the most interesting shots with the camera were taken over volcanic formations and surrounding country. The entire lecture served as a very keen and interesting reye-
 lation of the geographical formation
 of Central America, and the possibil- ities of the airship as a means of transportation.
 Following the lecture an open
 forum was conducted by the chair
 man, Roy E. Smith, during which an avalanche of questions was poured upon the speaker. Questions dealing with aeronauticai terms such as lair pockets, landing speed, were in- termixed with others concerning MT Sikorsky's plant in Bridgeport and questions regarding the type of plane he is producing today. This airplane is known as the S-3S, which means Sikorsky-38, the number designating the latest model ship. One of the most interesting discussions develop ing out of question dealt with the construction of two mammoth ships
 for the Pan-American service. They
 are characterized by IA foot wing
 span and are capable of carrying ap- proximotely 40 passengers. Built of
 duralumin in spite of their tremend-
 ous size the planes are comparatively light and very practical.
 On good authority it was learned last night that Igor Sikorsky, is a keen student of science and its rela- l tion to religion. Tn the near future he will discuss this relationship be- fore the Russian club of Waterbury. A Russian by birth he Is vastly in- terested in the welfare and the Amer icaniZation of his countrymen who now reside in this country. Mir Sikor- | sky is an outstanding American him. ] self and is contributing both spirit. ually and materially to the progress of his adopted country.

CHAMBER PROTESTS THE REVERSAL OF DECISION
 ID BUILD GOAL BUNKERs

TelegramS were dispatched Fri day by the Seward Chamber of Commerce to Hon. James Wicker sham, Delegate from Alaska; Secre- tary of the Interior Wilbur, and his assistant, Ernest Walker Saw yer, protesting against the reversal decision of Col. Otto F. Ohlson, general manager of the Alaska Railroad, toward coal loading facili- ties here in Seward.
 Inasmuch as he had, on various occasions, publicly approved con- struction of coal bunkerS at the Port of Seward, it was a great sur prise to all that he had changed his mind. This, he has done, accord ing to Leon Urbach, president of the Seward Chamber of Commerce, at Thursdays meeting.
 In the organizations wires to the above named gentlemen, it was pointed out that "coal loading facil- ities available the year round is the key to development of the Alaska Railroad belt" and also referred to the Libby, McNeil, Libby letter ire lating to the present unsatisfactory, expensive and slow loading facil- ities."

LAGOON ROAD WORK
 BEING CARRIED ON

Work on the recently constructed Lagoon roadway continues and two trucks are engaged in hauling grav- el and making a fill on the southern end of the road. The two trucks the City truck and the Bureau of Public Roads truck - are taking gravel from the heap piled up by the dredge in it's recent operations from behind the Seward breakwa ter.
 It is understood that the bridge at the southern end of the road has been taken out and will be filled in with gravel the same as the balance of the roadway and will take out the unpleasant approach which has heretofore existed. The bridge will not be necessary as the flood gate installed at the former railroad bridge site is thought am- pie to take care of high waters and the culverts of the lagoon can take care of the tidal water flow and that of the creek.
