i ‘If you want to know what I think
j about Alaska.” said P. , A„ Dunkle, rep
| resentative of the Burroughs Adding
Machine Company, t,o a representa
tive of the A nchorage Times, "I un
convinced the Territory, has a wonder
ful future and that air transportation
is going to iilav a . most important
| part in the, rapid .development which
,7s destined to set in shortly—which
j already has set in. as.a matter of
: fact. Within five years yon will see
airplanes flying regularly betwe
Puget Sound and Alaska, providing
safe and rapid transit to every see
'■* aad when that
forging.ahead .rapidly.”
Mr. Dunkle.is making his third • rij
through Alaska, having returned or
Saturday from, a visit to the Inter i..*
Besides the regular companies
which will operate nlanes and other
aircraft nn the. Alaska route., it is th
conviction .of the visitor that main
private planes will fled their way mtc
the Territory during the progress, at
.this aerial development. Tn fact, hr
says, ral of the large comoa lie..
| of the Puget lk»und district which '-eh
I extensively to Alaska merchar. are

Keen its woest jdsys. He has seen t
steady contraction of ba.ttness activ
i-ity during the «evesal years he hat

tory, but he is com inoed that a re
action -has set an and that henceforth
there will he a si'ad; and solid-ex
pansion-: of business, in step with de
velopments which are no vamder way
and which are center*plated. He does
not look for any boom, but believes
the prosperity gains will' be perma
