PASS THRU MOUNTAINS DESTINED TO BECOME REGULAR COMMERCIAL SKY PATH FROM
 ANCHORAGE-NOME

A straight line air route 10 Med fra from Anchorage and to Nome, offering as good or better flying conditions than the present route thru Rainy Pass, was revealed here recently by Pilot H w Barn. hill, says the Anchorage Times.
 The route lies through Yenta Pass which is reached from An chorage by following the west fork of the Yentna River, and is practically on a straight airline from Anchorage to Yetna. The present route through Rainy Pass, which most commercial planes use, deviates to the south and west from the straight airline be- tween Anchorage and Medfra.
 Pilot Barhill predicted commer- cial airlines would switch to this route in the near future, as it offers good flying conditions and cuts distance between the two points. He said the west fork of the Yentna approaching the pass offers good landing anywhere on skis in the winter and num- erous bars for wheel landings in the summer. Much of the dis tance on the other side of the pass is flat and smooth with no brush or trees, offering good land

 Tt cannot just be wished for. It cannot just be waited for.
