NEW AIR BASE PROMISES
MUCH FOR ANCHORAGE
(Anchorage Times.)
Anchorage is to be placed on the
map as an air base. Within the next
few weeks the city will possess one of
the best airplanes obtainable in the
United States, and before the flying
season is really under way the first
machine will be followed by a com
panion ship. This will form the nu
cleus of the flying fleet, the size of
which will increase as rapidly as busi
ness can be developed, and Anchorage
will be able to provide the best of
aerial transportation to any section of
the Territory. It is intended, how
ever, to feature fights to westward
points and to the Kuskokwim and
Iditarod districts, which are easily ac
cessible fromrAflchorage.
Investigations and planning which
have been under way during the last
several months, took definite form at
a meeting of local citizens last even
ing, when the sum of $16,000 was
pledged to launch the enterprise and
articles of incorporation discussed. It
is the intention to capitalize at $25,
and it is thought that the additional
$9,000 needed to absorb all of the ad
ditional stock will be obtained within
the next few days. There is sufficient
already available to put one plane in
operation, and the details of incor
poration will be completed at another
meeting to be held soon.
The first plane already has been or
dered from the Travel Air Manufac
turing Company, of Wichita, Kansas.
It is known as a Travel Air Cabin
plane, a .standard type used by some
of the largest transport lines in the
States. 4t has ample room for four
passengers and pilot and a consider
able quantity of freight, in addition.
TKe plane will be motored with a
Wright Whirlwind engine of 200
horsepower, air-cooled and capable of
developing a maximum speed of 120
miles an hour. The engine has nine
cylinders, radial design, which in
sures maximum of efficiency in opera
tion and mnimum of coat and trouble
in making repairs.
The cabin of the plane is comfort-i
ably furnished, and the complete en
closure of the passenger comparlmewt
eliminates annoyance from wind, while
the view is unobstructed.
The services of Russell Merrill have
been tngaged as pilot. He is a flyer
of long experience and has spent two
seasons in Alaska. Two years ago he
piloted a plane from Seattle to Sew
ard, and during the last season he has
been flying very successfully in South
eastern Alaska. He will have charge
of flying operations, assisted by other
pilots to be engaged as required by
expansion of service.
The men responsible for the new
enterprise are Gus Gelles, A. A- Shea
beck and Alonzo Cope, and they are
named incorporators for purposes of
organization. Mr. Cope is a mechanic
and he will have charge oi the woric of
keeping the panes in working, order.
He is at present in the States looking
after details there and is making
substantial investment in the enter
prise.
Others whose names appear on the
list as incorporators are: Oscar An
derson, John M. Collins, A. D. Balder
ston, Robert S. Brogsw, Jr„ Peter
Olson, Fred Parsons.
It is th eintention to aae Lake Spe
ri ard for landing purposes in connec
tion with flights to westward print*,
where it will be necessary to land on
water. Pontoons will be kept at the.
lake to be attached to the planes
when needed. This arrangement also'
will require a landing field at the;
require a landing Held at the lake1
and it is possible the company will
conduct all of its flying operations
from that point.
TEXAS GOVERNOR SETS NEW
RECORD IN PARDON RACE
AUSTIN, Texas.—Whea Ma Fer

of Texas on Tuesday, she held the
record for the number of clemency
proclamations issued during the two
years she presided over the affairs of
the State. The number reached 3,177.
whep the governor granted a full pax
don, on the eve of her retirement, to
a man who was convicted only last'

The £tate Legislature, which con

a bill which provides for the repeal of
the i—mure passed two years ago
granting amnesty to Jane^Tggwan,
who was impeached in 1917. One of
Ma Ferguson’s first official, acts, after
taking her oath as governor,, was ‘the
restoration of her husband, to hin full

In '.three successive speehes lately

With a. courage, equal to hm intelli
