READY FOR PERRY Value of the Mendenhall rifle as one of the major points of recreation in this community is generally recognized, but it ha ver been more clearly emphasized than in ecticon of the team which will represent Alaska at the national rifle matches in Camp Perry. It will be noted in the new account appearing in yesterday’s Empire that all but four of the 13 men composing the team to go to Perry are from Juneau. Four are from Seward. No other com- munities in the Territory are represented. The answer as the team members themselves point out, is facilities. . oLt goes without g that Juneau can boast of some crack rifle shots who can hold their own in any company, but for three years now they have in the nation to practice Came the announcement had one of the finest ranges on, they are quick to stress. that Alaska was invited to participate in the Camp Perry matches, Rifle clubs and individuals interested in shooting throughout the Territory were notified But, unfortunately for many men who probably would have liked to compete, they were not located near a rifle re Fairbanks was forced to notify the team organizer that its riflemen would be unable to compete due to lack of a range Territory t Other towns in the difficulties—lack Seward were up a shootir ainst similar of facilities for Only riflemen in aside from Juneau, were able to get into the qualify- ing rounds because they didn't have the nece: 'y courses to shoot over, Juneau is mighty fortunate to have Mendenhall rifle range as is clea emphasized in this instance anding ational as afford It is one of the outs ets of this community. Not facilities fc our local rifle and pistol enthusiasts, but it is a great attraction for visiting riflemen, such as Army, Navy and Coast Guard, who have declared it one of the best ranges they have ever i, and the service teams get around to a great ma ranges in their travels recr only doc x S e It is-a signal honor which has fallen to Alaska to be invited to the Camp Perry matches. Not in 18 But the announced yesterday reveal that it is going to be well represented when the rifles start sounding down at the national matches August 21. Our Alaskans may not carry off top years has the Territory been represented team persounel and score: honors, shooting in competition with the cream of the rifle men of America, but our guess is that they will give an account of themselves which they as well as the home can well be proud of. boys rest of us at rate, here’s luck. At any In announcing the inauguration of experimental flights over the Seattle-Juneau route, starting next Saturday, Pan-American Airways, parent company of PAA, has made it clear that it will not fly over Canadian soil, but rather will skirt the outside of Vancouver Island and come up the inside passage to touch at Ketchikan without becoming involved with international permits or other complications which might arise if the flights were made across Canada The plan, of course, is to establish a strictly indepen- dent air line, and at the same time point for the future svhich doubtless will see Alaska figuring prom- inently in Pan-American’s round-the-world routes. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer makes the point aptly ; “The aircraft postoffice when it says: Pan-American and the of the multi-motor type, with sufficient cruising radius to make the trip without flying over the territory of any other nation, to do it with an adequate margin of safety by are proposed department “This implies no disposition to cold-shoulder our riendly Canadian neighbors, by disdaining to fly er their soil, But it is a matter of common know- ledge that commercial aviation services, closely tied in with the governments of their own nations, are engaged today in a world race for the development of air routes. Britain’s Imperial Airways is one of these. Ividently Pan-American feels that it is in a position to develop air routes in this section of the hemisphere without being required to make any deals | with competing lines, or the governments backing them. And this attitude of sturdy independence points to a program that will go much farther than the Seattle-Juneau service proposed for the immediate future. The strategic position of Alaska, either for flights | westward to Asia or northward, across the Pole, to Eu- It has been sufficiently demonstrated in recent years to argue the feasibility of commercial air serv= ices over such routes in the near future.” While fl now starting between Juneau T passenger it is and Seattle are of major importance to the ing the ming of air mail and ates in the very near future, beg ice with the only the forerunner of what we will see in the next few years in aerial development, It isn't visionary to picture Juneau a regular airport of call on an air route that will circle the globe, great clipper ships | coming in here on regular schedules—up from the | States via Seattle and down from Nome after the hop across from Siberia.
