WASHINGTON, D.C.-At a meet
ing in the Department of Commerce
conference room, attended by DR..
Gordon of the Division of Territor-
les, Delegate Dimond, and Cover
nor Troy, plans were formulated
for a system of air routes serving
Alaska The plan calls for the con-
struetion of landing fields and en-
largement of existing fields at ter
minal points on seven main routes.
The field specifications call for an
area 5000 feet long by $50 feet
wide together with a cross field of
the same dimensions.
The routes projected will be
from Ketchikan to Skagway, from
Boundary which will be located
near the point where the White
river crosses the International Line
to Nome via Fairbanks, from
Boundary to Anchorage, from Ste
wart to Fairbanks, from Cordova to
Valdez to Fairbanks, from Bethel to
Fairbanks, from Anchorage to Be
thel via McGrath, from Anchorage
to Mumtrak via Dillingham;, and
from McGrath to Koyuk.
Construction is planned on these,
proposed routes under the direction
of the Department of Commerce at
an estimated cost of 100000.
In conjunction with this plan,
the Department of the Interior is
planning to provide numerous in
termediate and feeder landing fields
as required at an estimated cost of
$371,O00, This provides for auxili-

COAST
STRIKESEEMS
AVERTED

SAN FRANClSCO-Possibility of
coastwise maritime strike faded
somewhat today with the an
nouncement that ship operators
have signed an agreement with the
Masters, Mates and Pilots Order of
North America.
The announcement, made by
Hugh Gallagher, Matson line oper-
ating manager, came just as the
tankship joint strike committee
called for a vote on a general mari
time strike. Under terms OF the
agreement, according to Gallagher,
licensed officers on all passenger
and cargo vessels will receive an in
crease in wages and improved
working conditions. Gallagher did
not reveal how much of a pay in
crease was granted under the
agreement. The announcement was
made in behalf of all Pacific Coast
steamship operators. allagher said

Inspection Trip in Alas.

Major General James B. Allison,

States Army, with headquarters at
Washington, DC, accompanied by
Colonel George E. Kumpe, officer
N charge of the Washington-Alaska
Military Cable and Telegraph Sys-
TEN with headquarters at Seattle.
Washington, were Wrangell yisi-
tors this morning while the North
western was in port.
The boat called in at 4:30 and
was here but little more than a
half hour, so that the courtesies
which the chamber of commerce
had planned for the distinguished
visitors could not be carried out,
with the exception of presenting
them with souvenirs of Wrangell.
Despite his limited time. General
Allison gave the local Signal Corps
Radio Station thorough inspec-
ton and commenting on its shin
ing orderliness stated without re-
seryation that it was one of the
finest and cleanest stations he had
ever inspected.
The plans of the officers were
indefinite this morning, They are
stopping off at Juneau and will
board the steamer Alaska Monday
enroute to Anchorage. If they in
spect all of the stations of the Ter
ritory and go over certain areas.
they will not be in Wrangell south
bound until September, but if they
cease inspection at Anchorage they
will visit Wrangell again in the
near future.

in 1929, last Saturday took poses
sion of the New Deal Beer parlor
which he bought from H. Helm
bockle, who started the business
two years ago.
The new owner states that he in
tends to conduct the business in the
same clean, straight forward man
ner as Heinbockle did; that his
place is to be a home for fisher
men where they can play cards and
have a glass of beer, but that he
will not tolerate any rough stuff
nor sell to intoxicated persons.
Mr.. Spath who owns consider
able property in Wraugell is living

DeRemer Issues New
Booklet for Station

C. W. DeRemer, operator in
charge at the local Signal Corps
Radio Station, in line with his OBJ
jective of making the station of
the greatest possible service to the
community, has had a quantity of
booklets printed for distribution
giving information as to rates, Of
flee hours and schedules.
Both divisions of hours and sche-
dulles applying to the station dur
ing the year are listed, one effec-
tive April 80 to September l, in
elusive, and the other effective Oc-
tober l to April 80 inclusive, with
information concerning Sunday and
holiday office hours and schedules.
One page of the booklet is devot-
ed to rates from Wrangell of 10
words fast day messages, so words
day letter, 10 words night letter
and so words night letter, to the
stations of southeast Alaska, a
number of westward and interior
stations and the farthest north at
Point Barrow. The six cities in the
states to which the majority of
Wrangell radiograms are addressed
are also listed. They are Seattle,
Tacoma, Portland, Spokane, Chicago
and New York.
A study of the list reveals that
4 50-word night letter from Wran-
CELL to New York costs but 1920
and 50word day letter 80 cents
ID hn Eodoro1 -
percent.
Mr.. DeRemer used the back page
of the booklet in advertising the
Radio-Telephone method of COM
munication, which was recently in
stalled at the station, as an addi-
tional service.
The booklets were printed on a
good grade of 3-ply Bristol at the
personal expense of Mr.. DeRemer.
Also at his expense were printed
signs for the radio telephone booth.
A wall sign reads mo Loafing Per-
mitted." He explains that while a
hearty welcome is due each person
coming into the office on business
or to look over the new improve
ments, positively no loafing is per-
mitted for a number of good rea-
sons.
At the top of the bulletin board
in one of the windows a sign reads,
''If we KNOW it is posted HERE"
| All public messages received per-
tanning to boat positions are post
ed Immediately.

Ban.SignS up Hunters
For 50 CaSsiar Big Game

George B. Ball, well known big
game guide and outfitter of Tele-
graph Greek, BIC, has been in
Wrangell this week awaiting the
opening of navigation on the Sti-
kline.
Mrs. Ball and their two children
came down the river on the last
boat of the season last October to
spend the winter In Vancouver
while Mr.. Ball was on a business
trip in the States He left Tele-
graph Greek early in December,
walked the 210 miles of the Tele-
graph trail where he took a plane
to Carcross, thence to Skagway by
railroad and by steamer to Van
couYer, where he spent his first
Christmas outside in &c years.
After the first of the year he
visited Philadelphia, Chicago ana
New York booking big game hun
ters for the coming season. Ban
operates a dude ranch on the Sti-
kline river having bought some
years ago the old Callbreath ranch
farm land between the river and
the mountains.
Here he is rapidly building one
of the finest big game resorts in
the North. He has one central
lodge with modern comforts COM
bined with a perfect summer CHI
mate, free from mosquitoes and in
close contact with big game. No
shooting is allowed on the ranch
and at any time big game, such as
mountain sheep, goats and grizzly
bear may be observed, at a safe
distance, from the hunting lodge.
| Moose cross the meadows not far
from the house, and in recent years
three separate white grizzly bears
have been seen. Two years ago
mule deer worked their way in
from Alberta and form the nucleus
of herd which will not be modest
ed for some time to come.
Mr.. Ball will construct several
small cabins this year for those
who prefer to be alone, also cabins
where guests who come for long
vacation may do light housekeep-
ing. The ranch, while it serves as
an QUILTING point for big game
hunts, seems destined to be used
most by Yacationists who, rather
than go further afield for big
game, prefer fishing, horseback
riding and all the pursuits avail
able at a ranch situated in one OF
~,
in the North.
Mrs. Ball and the children and
her sister, Miss Evelyn Smith of
Nelson, B. c., are with Mr.. Ball at
the Wrangell Hotel.

Seattle Goodwill Tour
In Wrangell on June 5

Headed by Alfred H. Lundin,
President of the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce, the Biennial Goodwill
Tour of Seattle business executives
and professional leaders with their
families, will leave Seattle on the
SIS. Aleutian June 8, and arrive at
Wrangell Tuesday evening, June

ceived by the Wrangell Chamber of
Commerce today. The ship will re-
main in Wrangell from 9 pm. until
l am. Southbound, the Seattle
party will be in Wrangell for a
short visit early Friday morning,
June 81.
An enthusiastic committee of so
Seattle business men has been ac-
tive in organizing the delegation
for several months, and over 100
reservations have already been
made, and indications point to the
Aleutian being completely sold out
weeks before the sailing date.
I'VE are endeavoring to make
this the finest and most representa-
tive group from Seattle that has
ever visited the Territory" said
Darwin Meisnest, chairman of the
Seattle Chambers committee or
ganizing the trip. Our list is al
ready an impressive one and in
cludes the names of many of this
city's well-known business leaders.
We are coming on a friendly mis-
sion-to give our business men the
of meeting their Alas
ka friends in their own places of
business. Seattle recognizes the
tremendous Importance of the trade
received from Alaska, and we are
coming to show our appreciation
for it. We are interested in Alas
ka's problems and we wish to CO.
operate in every way we can in
bringing development and growth
to the Territory. Many of those
coming on this trip have been to
Alaska several times and some are
making their first visit"
A complete list of the visitors
will be sent by the Seattle chamber
as. soon as it is available.

WASHINGTON. DC The es-
adjustment of an army air defense
base in Alaska appears to be ap-
preaching reality as it is generally
believed that the bill introduced
by Congressman J. Mark Wilcox of
Florida will be enacted This bill
provides for the establishment of
five air sdefense bases in the States
and one in Alaska, the location of
each to be determined by the Sec
rotary of War. The estimated cost
of the base in Alaska as offered at
the hearings on the bill is larger
than that of any proposed base in
the States, as it totals S9,628,950
without including the purchase OF
the purchase of land. These figures
include the cost of quarters for p
officers, 129 noncommissioned Off
GERS, and 900 men.
The need of such a defense base
in Alaska was emphasized in the
hearings by Congressman Wilcox,
author of the bill: Brig. General
William Mitchell, and Delegate Di-
mond.
