After completing his arrangements, he will fly one of the planes here from Seattle, accompanied by Mrs. Ben- | nett. The second ship will arrive | about the middle of July. [ For the past two or three years,| he told the Chamber, he had been| looking toward Juneau with the| view of establishing himself here.| - At that time he was a member of the Bennett-Rodebaugh Company of Fairbanks and was flying ships| out of that city.

The only request he made of the Chamber, or the City, was for co- operation in the construction of a mooring port. He will have his own hangars, but urged the con-| struction of a public port which could be used by himself and any | other operating company in the field. He suggested the port bc‘ built adjoining the lower City flo:nt‘ where it would be sheltered from | winds by the Alaska Juneau rock| dump. A port there, he said, would be GOLDEN ARROW semi-soft COLLARS The new Hampton | collar is the latest ad- dition to the Arrow line of smart collars. SABIN’S C. 0. SABIN, Prop.
