MatanuSka COlOniSts Scheduled Air Service To Stake SO,OOO Acres Between Juneau Nome

WASHINGTON - ReviYing pio- neer days, the Federal government has completed plans for a sample migration from drought blighted areas of the middle west to the fer tile Matanuska valley in Alaska.
 Two hundred families and 400 unmarried laborers will be trans ferred from the United States to the Territory this spring. Their travel funds and preliminary expenses will be advanced by the Relief admins tration. The plans call for claims to be staked on 80,000 acres of public land in the valley. The first ship load will leave Seattle or San Fran cisco about May 1. The remainder will follow later in the month.
 Landing at Seward, the settlers will be moved to Anchorage where they will be housed in sheltered tents. The summer will be devoted to the clearing of a part of each 40-acre homestead allotted each family. The building of cabins, a school, and the preparing for the first crop next spring also is con templated.
 Some 400 unmarried men will op- crate the land clearing machinery supplied by the Rural Rehabilita- tion corporation. Others will work on the cooperative creamery sup ply, the Anchorage Willow Creek gold field nearby, and the coal min ing communities. Grains and garden peas are expected to be the chief products of the 100-day growing season.
 The settlers are to be chosen from the northern part of the middle west, where the climate is very similar to that of the Matanuska valley. Officials said today that some settlers would be moved from unproductive farms, now being re- tired from cultivation under the Re lief administration purchase pro gram. All the settlers will be "hand- picked' for qualities condu- cive for success of the venture, of ficials said.

averaged $150 to the ton, part of the samples running very high, others lower. Another half-ton sent to the shelter at Trail, B.C., gave practically the same returns.
 Reports Misunderstood
 The Quartz creek locations were made chiefly because c. F. Callison, the father. misunderstood reports on rock winch he had sent in for assay after prospecting in the dis trict during 1883. He understood the gold content to be two to four ounces a ton and on that supposi- tion sent in his sons from their home in Fort Nelson, in the Peace river country, for further prospect ing and only afterwards, did he find that the assays ran but two to four-tenths ounce per ton.
 Lynch Callison came to Wran- gell instead of going in to Me Danes by plane, in order to pick up dogs for a team. He wanted five but was able to get but four dogs. Of these, the leader was secured from R. J. Suratt, while the wheel dog is Baron, the powerful husky owned by M. o. Johnson.
 New Dog Team
 Callison has fitted the dogs to their harnesses, bought a new sleigh and is ready to be taken by gasboat tonight to the mouth of the Stikine where the dogs will enter on their new experience as mem bers of a work team. Their owner says that they will be swinging along in fine shape by the time they have finished the Stikine trail to Telegraph Creek.
 C. F. Callison and sons. John and Elisha. will bring a pack train of 30 horses from Fort Nelson across country to join Lynch next July The trip last year took 36 days.

 Over the historic dog sled trails which for generations had repre- sented the only means of reaching interior Alaska, over the heroic "gold-rush route" to the Klondike, the Yukon and the Kuskokwim, the airliners will be able to accomplish. in a single hours flight, what has heretofore required a full week of difficult travel by dog team or slow river boat

 Through connecting services ar ranged with the domestic airlines in the United States and with the Alaska Steamship company, operat- ing from Seattle, the first through plane-steamer-plane service to the Far North will go into effect on April 2, simultaneously with new Alaskan schedules. They will re- duce from weeks to days, travel time heretofore required to reach Juneau, the capital, Fairbanks, the commercial capital, and the import ant cities of interior Alaska.
