NOEL VEIN, VETERAN ALASKA PILOT DIS- CUSES HISTORY
 ALASKA FLYING

Despite what picture books and old school geo. graphies show, few Eski- mos live in snow igloos, said Noel Wien, youthful appearing Alaska airman, in Seattle recently.
 Back from a midWestern business trip, Wien plans to attend an air show at Los Angeles this week prepara- tory to returning to Fair banks with Mrs. Wien and their three small children.

Star-Lites From Hollywood By

Was Mary Pickford's face white the other day when she tried every-Which-way, and failed, to be part of the Mayfair Club Ball, highest social function of the film colony.
 The hitch in Miss Pick ford's plans came about through an oversight, a mat ter of neglecting to pay her dues. She would have been more than glad, she said at the entrance door, to fill out a check. But the attendant declined it. The annual fee is $10.

 "In the winter they live in their tents, but build a snow wall around it, and about three or four feet away from it's walls, as a Windbreak and for warmth.
 "Why don't they build the snow wall against the sides of the tent? Because snow drifts and if the wall were against the tent, the snow would drift on top of the tent and soon bury it. Building the walls three or four feet away leaves a saf- ety margin for drifting snow y
 Wien said he is anxious to get back in harness-par achute harness in his case, for he's been flying in AL aska since 1924. He said Alaska commercial flying has deVe 'oped swiftly and greatly because he North land is a territory of aaeat distances and few means of transportation.
 In 1924 and 1925 he was the only regular commer- cial pilot in all Alaska, he said.
 Today there are 30 or 40 flyers in Fairbanks, Anchor age and Nome, alone-all after the business and all cutting rates to get it. y
 Much of the business, par ticularly in winter, is air freight - carrying every thing from dredge parts and mine machinery to needles, pins and greeting cards.
 Wien said he made the frs. F3iIbanks-to-Nonae flight. It is a 550-miIc jour ney that used 10 take three months and cost $750 by dog team. Today you can fly it in five hours for q SlQ0 fare.
 Wien was also one of the first to fly across Bering Sea between Siberia and Alaska. His friend, Carl Ben Eielson, who made a few short commercial flights before Wien went North, was lost on one flight to Siberia.
 Wien recalled that after Eielson went out of con- mercial flying, Wien was the only commercial pilot in Alaska in 1924 and 1925. Wien preceded his friend and business competitor, Joe Crosson, in Alaska fly ing by about a year and a half, he said.
 "It's a great business. EV- eryone's after it and cut ting rates to get it. And it's lot different than the old days when there were n't any landing fields, en- ergency or otherwise. I'm going back and get busy, Wien concluded.

WE HAVE IN
SH N
COUNTY
COUNTY

A. T. LARSEN, Dagmar farmer, on
arrival in Sheridan county in 1908,
had a monetary capital of forty dol
lars. Eight years later he accumulated
a small fortune through the hardest
kind Of labor, but reverses came in the
way of crop failures, and he was
forced to begin life all over again.
With an indomitable spirit and de-
termination he accumulated another
modest fortune, which as with other
farmers of the county felt the drain OF
five years Of depression.
Aage T. Larsen was born April IL,
1885, in the little kingdom of Den
mark. The early education of A. T.
Larsen was acquired in his native land
but he saw no possibilities of advance
ment there and accordingly, in 1905,
when he was 20 years Of age he i'm
migrated to the United States and for
a time lived in Chicago.
In 1908 Mr.. Larsen came to Dagmar
and settled on a homestead. So great
was his ambition ard industry that
during the next two years he estim-
ated that he must have driven oxen
10000 miles in blowing his land. Sue
cess to him came quickly and in addi-
ton to his farming he became a breed
err of Shorthorn cattle. ALI of the
profits went back into his farm and he
built one of the finest groups of build
ings in the Dagmar settlement, these
being surrounded by 5000 trees of his
own planting( and erected the first silo
in the Dagmar country. Over the gate
way approaching his home was a sign
bearing the words: "Danebo Farm
the word "Danebo" meaning Danish
home, and here he extended the ut
most hospitality.
Successive crop failures proved dis
astrous to Sheridan county. Mr.. Lar
sen sold his fine farm and home ano
with his family, in 1916, went to Cal
ifornia. Ore year later, his faith still
strong for Sheridan county, he re-
turned. He again built up his holdings
now having a valuable LOO acre trac
which he is farming.
He is a member of the Lutheran
church and has countless friend
throughout Sheridan county. In l92'
he was elected to the state Legislature
and subsequently served in the regu'
lar session of that year, the specia
session of 1923 and the regular session
of 1924.
In 1911 Mr.. Larsen was united IL
marriage with Miss Christina Kleis
who was born in Denmark.
Five children have been born to MI
and Mrs. Larson: Thorbald, of Ekal
aka, Mont; Kleis, who will graduate
this spring from the Normal college a
Dillon; Marie, a second year studen
at Dillon; Anker and Svend, attending
high school at Antelope.
Mrs. Larsen's mother, Mrs. Sorel
Kleis, who is IS years of age, make
her home with them.
On March %, Mr.. and Mrs. Larsel
will have been wed Is years.

PROSPECTS IN
AREA ABOVE NORMAL
AFTER HARD WINTER
Nearly 30 Inches of Snow
Throughout Winter Makes
Outlook Brighter

Heavy snowfall of the past few
months has brought cheer to Sheridan
county farmers and the entire north
west as they welcome the breakup OF
one of the severest winters recorded in
the history of weather observation in
this section.
According to observations, Sheridan
county shares the northwest's good
crop prospects with more than a foot
and a half of snow at the end of the
winter.
The heavy melting of the SHOWS this
spring is laying the foundation for
one of the best seed beds here in many
years while farmers are making prep
arations for their sowing.
Nearly thirty inches of snow has
fallen in this section since winter
gripped the territory last fall.
Water, ran in creeks and coulees this
week when mild winds and warm
temperatures rapidly melted SHOWS.
Monday night a heavy, wet snow
fell throughout this section. At Plen-
tywood the blanket was nearly an inch
and carried much moisture.
Crop experts believe if this general
precipitation is followed by norma
conditions this spring and summer il
will mean much to this section which
IN recent years has been the dust bow
of the northwest.
1t is expected hat the new seet
loan set-up will be announced thi.
week. The set-up is %anxiously awaited
| by hundreds of Sheridan county farm
ers who do not have available seed foi
spring sowing.
Pastures in Sheridan county will b'
greatly improved by the abundan
snowfall. Feed crops will be improved
A serious barrier at the present t.
crop prospects is the quality of seed
particularly wheat, now in the hand
Of farmers in the northwest. However
seed in Sheridan county is far allow
the average in quality and it is be
lieved that seed of high termination
only will be sown by Sheridan count,
farmers.
