The field will be finished this season. H It will be a good field, having two runways; one running north d south 1,400 feet long; and and west, 1,100 feet long. Both The e runways are 200 feet wide. only heavy timber stand. In addition to clearing this from the field proper, prolongations 500 to 700 feet long will be cleared at the ends of both runways to give plane clearance in taking off. The field is reached by a road constructed last year by the Unit- ed States Bureau of Pubic Roads.| This, Maj. Elliott said, is a fine piece of work and is greatly ap- preciated by the resicents of Sew- ard. Anchorage Best Field The field being constructed at Anchorage will be the best in the Territory when it is completed, Maj. Elliott added. It is near completion now, only a small amount of smoothing being neces- sary to put it into shape for use. It has a north and south run- way 3,200 feet long, and an east and west runway 2,000 feet long. Each has a th of 400 feet. The ground conditions are excellent, glacial gravel having natural drain- age. There are no obstructions to handicap plane operations, the site being free from power ling poles, trees, houses and similar construc- tions. Conditions generally in western areas during the past winter have been good, Maj. Elliott said. There was a minimum of unemployment, ample work being present for ev- eryone desiring it. Build New Hotel Frank Reed, proprietor of the Anchorage Hotel plans a new con- crete building to be operated in conjunction with his present busi- ness. Seward is building a muni- cipal hospital, utilizing the former school building which was aban- doned ‘when the new school struc- ture was erected. While small, it will be equipped with every modern device and appliances. The new hydro-electric power plant is operating successfully at Eklutna and furnishing power to the Anchorage district at very fav- orable rates. It is owned and operated by the Alaska Power and Light Company. The project in- cludes a reservoir dam and power house at Exlutna, transmission lines to Anchorage and transformer equipment, etc. Aleutian Fine Ship Maj. Elliott made the trip to Seward on the new liner Aleutian of the Alaska Steamship Company. “It is a very fine vessel, com- fortable for travel, splendidly fitted | up and seems to handle easily,” he said. At every port of call, the vessel was met by large crowds who inspected it thoroughly and were enthusiastic in their com- ments on it. Men’s All-W ool Suits Sizes 36 to 44 FRONT $17.50 |J. M.
