Plans for Trans-Arctic
Air Route Said to Be
Taking Shape.
Moscow, July 10.—Plans for
Russia’s trans Arctic air route
are fast taking shape. The pro
posed route is from Leningrad;
to Alaska and Japan, by way of
Murman coast, Lena river and
Bering strait. The journey, it
is estimated, will take seven and
bne-half days. An experimental
trip to Point Barrow for explor
ation of the Arctic sea is being;
planned for 1927 and a special
kirship of 1,000.000 cubic meters
tapacity will be built for this
flight.
R. M. White and Knut Lind, after
tev*ral months spent in the Stony aDd
'Swift rivers sections, were last Sunday
Arrivals, coming up from McGrath in
their own power boat. This boat, bv
the way, so well adapted for use dur
lug the present low stage of the To
kotna water, has been busy most of the
time during the week in bringing up
freight, a3 well as a few passengers,
from where the Sea Wolf is halted on
account of low water.
Archie Higgins, former Tokotna
business man, was a Sunday arrival,
having come from the Forks with R.
M. W’hite and Knut L'md in their
power boat. Mr. Higgins made the
trip to Ganes on Monday, returned here
Tuesday, and has been more or less on
the move since arriving. He expects
to return to the Forks tomorrow.

That Gov. Parks May
Visit Kuskokwim Is
Among Probabilities
That Gove George A. I’arks will
pay a visit to this section some time
during the next few weeks is among
the probabilities, according to Carl
| Lottsfeldt, of the Alaska Eioad Com
mission. Mr. Lottsfeldt states that
Governor Parks, with whom he talked
at Juneau, expressed himself as anxious
! to make a visit to the Kuskokwim if
the trip could be made by airplane.
With the Tokotna landing field com
pleted, which is now assured within
the next three or four days, the oppor
tunity will be at hand for Governor
Parks to carry out his desire. The
Governor has many friends in the Kus
kokwim region, especially in this sec
tion, all of whom will be pleased to
renew his acquaintance and at the
same time give welcome to the first
I governor to visit the Kuskokwim val
ley. _
Mail Contractor Simel is reported to
have left Hoh Cross with the mail on
July 7tb. Although The Times is not
authorized to so state, it is probable
that the outgoing mail from here will
leave about, July lb.
