IGNORANT OF ALASKA
(Anchorapo TimesO

Many are the mis-statements ap-
pearing from time to time in the
public press of the States about
Alaska but the most glazing to come
to light of late is the reference
printed in an article in the April
number of McCall's magazine en-
titled "A Million Dollar Idea" and
published over the words "As re-
ported by Maxine Davis: The ar
ticie purports to give facts regard
ing the financial and economic af-
fairs of America and to point out a
number of wasteful and unnecessary
expenditures. Referring to navy and
war departments expenditures, the
article contains this paragraph:
"In these departments we find
our most expensive overlapping.

PILOT SAVES SHIP BY 15-MILE
GOA T TO NABEsNA GLACIER

Forced down from an altitude of
$4,000 feet when his motor stopped
over the lofty Wrangell mountains,
Pilot Bob Reeve of Valdez coasted
Is miles to a place of safety on
the Nabesna Glacier and had to
mush on snowshoes for 80 miles to
make Chistochina.
THE plane said Reeve, was
speeding splendidly, and l had with
me as a passenger Bob Walker, and
we were suspecting nothing wrong,
when suddenly a piece of mechan-
ism gave way and the engine went
dead. There was nothing to do but
coast, and as we were up $4,000
feet, l made the most of it. Making
a hasty survey of the situation,
could find no place to set the ship
down except on the top of the Ma
besna Glacier. Every other spot was
rugged mass of rocky spires and
ridges. 1t was lucky for us that old
glacier was so near. The ship glided
gracefully to the spot selected and
we put down gently. Then came our
real trouble. We found a piece of the
mechanism broken, and we were 80
miles from the nearest habitation.
We got out the snowshoes and emer-
gency supplies, and made it off for
Chistochina, and travelled day and
night for nearly three days, over
rough ridges and down valleys often
glaciered. On one steep bluff l fell
and rolled 100 feet or more, and
was knocked out for a time, and
I'm mighty glad to be here after
that experience. Once we were in

OUR GOOD FORTUNE

1t is a matter of good fortune to
Wrangell that Karl Thiele, owner
of the Diamond K Cannery, after
six years of operation with float
ing salmon cannery at Wrangeli has
decided to build ashore.
The money which will be eXpend-
ed in constructing the new cannery
is sorely needed in the community,
but the financial returns will not
stop with the building. Aside from
the property tax increase which the
city will receive in addition to the
case tax, and the usual payroll for
the cannery workers, Wrangell will
have the benefit of at least two new
families, as Mr.. Thiele and H. Kit
tilsby, his superintendent, intend
to make Wrangell their home.
Every town is dependent for its
growth and progress on the people
who call it home and when Wran-
CELL becomes the home town of Mr..
Thiele and his associates, we will
have just that many more to share
the activities of our community
life and to be definite factors in
all progressive movements.

reasons the government maintains
its modern radio telegraph service
in the North-and another and
very vital reason is that Alaska
has become the most vulnerable pos
session of America-lying opposite
and nearest the powerful militar-
istic Asia. A pretty spectacle it
would be if one of those nations
should send hostile fleets to attack
Alaska tomorrow, and there would
be no way to advise the States or
to communicate between the impor-
tant centers of this vast territory
The magazine article fails to men,
tion that the radio replaces the ex-
pensive old cable and long land SER
vices. which engaged the attention
of many men, and a number of sup
ply and cable ships. In comparison
with Grand Rapids, Michigan, no
reference is made to the fact that
the entire territory of Alaska with
it's 100000 square miles of land,
equal to many Michigans, is served
only by the radio system, while
Grand Rapids at the same time has
all the modern commercial means
of communication not obtaining in
this far flung region.
If all the other statements Of
fered in the article in McCall's are
on a par with the reference to AL
aska, the article is not worth the
paper it is printed on, and what is
worse, it is misleading and damag-
ing to the interests of a great Amer
lean possession which is enriching
America and deserves protection.
Furthermore, Alaska could not
carry on her modern commercial
and aviation industries-now wide
spread and constituting the chief
means of interior travel to all Sec
tions if it were not for the daily
radio weather reports and the gen.
eral service the radio renders. Gross
ignorance of Alaska on the part of
some writer's who muscle into the
big magazines is one of the serious
drawbacks to the development and
progress of this country 1t is time
big magazines gave some of these
reckless ink-splashers the gate and
saved the standing of such widely
circulated publications.
