nical advisor Of the Alaska Aero
nautics and Communication Com

districts that have fallen into dis
use, were dropped from the list OF
active Territorial stations, leaving

Simmons said today
Joe Crosson, who left for the
States on Sunday, will contact Of

to speed realization of a Govern

stations in the near future.
The first new station proposed
is for Anchorage, and the second
at Fairbanks.

sion representative on the commits
sion, and John Cross Of the Second

LINCER BERRY
HOLDS PROMISE
FOR ALASKANS
R. Flakstad, Importer, Has
Faith in Low Bush
Cranberry

There are vast commercial possib-
ilities in Alaska's low-bush cram
berry, in the opinion Of r. Flakstad
making his annual trip to Alaska
for his Seattle firm of R. Flakstao
and Co, importers of fancy 1000
products.
Before flying to Sitka this morn
ing with Alex Holden, Flakstad re-
viewed his discouraging attempts
to convince Alaskans of the latent
possibilities in its low bush cram
berries which are "lingen berries
in actual parlance.
F'lakstad imports hundreds of bar
rels of lingen berries each year from
New Foundland and Norway ano
finds ready market in several Pac-
ific Coast states for the delicacy
both fresh and cooked.
There is no reason why Alaska
shouldn't produce lingen berries,
said Flakstad This country car
produce easily more berries thar
either New Foundland or Norway
and the berries here are better.
Superior Berry
THE Alaskan lingen berry is fal
and above a better berry. The linger
berry goes much farther than the
domestic cranberry in flavor ane
should be included in Alaskas ex.
ports"
Flakstad told of how he had talked
to practically every cannery op.
orator in Alaska and had founc
them uninterested and without tn,
time. An attempt some years agt
to get Alaskan whites and Indian
to pick the berries, found then
asking a dollar a gallon to picl
them
Such a price is absurd" sale
FlakStad. Back in Norway, as {
child of three years, I picked cram
berries. Any youngster with a littl'
practice can pick 100 gallons of Der
ries day the process of picking
simply involves getting handful
of the berries at grab. -

At 20 cents a gallon, which Flax
stad believed might be a fair price,
it is easily estimated that person
could make from $40 to $40 day
during the two weeks or more during
which the berries are right for
picking.
1.-The berries should be picked
when they have just arrived at the
ripe stage and before they freeze,
Flakstad warned.
Packed twenty-one gallons to bar
rel with water, the berries can be
kept thus for over a year.
Flakstad spoke of the possibilities
also in blueberries and other Al
askan berry products.
Alaska has a wonderful oppor-
tunity in its berries" Flakstad said
And someday the country will take
advantage of that opportunity.

HORROR BEGINS TO
HIT new ENGLAND
Disaster From Hurricane,
Tidal Waves, Floods
Starts to Reveal Toll

Copyright 1888 by United Press)
New England's disaster from hur-
ricane, tidal waves and floods came
into full realization today for the
first time. The dead numbered al
most 600; the damage $780, 100000;
the homeless refugees 20,500.
These tolls were growing rapidly
as the first semblance Of order was
reestablshed after three days Of
chaos. Already, the known dead
numbered 6S3, and the search OF q
6OO-mile stretch Of ruined shoreline
still was far from complete.
A thousand Coast Guardsmen pa
troled the coast where historic vil-
lagos from Newport, r. l., to Cape
Cod were wrecked, and famous re-
sorts and landmarks obliterated.
In the interior 100000 rescue and
relief workers had begun the re-
Mobilization Of Rhode Island Con-
necticut, Massachusetts,, New Hamp-
shire and Vermont. Their FIRST task
was the caring for refugees who
crowded armories, schools and pub
lie buildings.
Guardsmen In Control
National 0uardsmen ruled In most
large cities. There were acute short
ages Of food, clothing and serunls;
dangers Of disease and Of fires break
ing out as soon as the great heaps
Of debris had dried. There had been
looting near Cape Cod. National
