Jones, owner and pilot of the seaplane Northbird, !gave an interview in which he stressed the importance of air traffic to the development of Alaska. “There is no place in the world where this means of transportation will have greater benefits,’ he stated. He pre- |dicted that the time would soon come when facilities would exist and service established throughout Alaska, drawing the vastly separated sections of the Territory much closer together. Built especially for the Alaska routes, the liner Alaska, first steel passenger steamship ever launched in the Northwest, raced down the ways from the yard of the Todd Dry Dock and Construction Company in Tacoma on April 20 before a throng of cheering onlookers. She was to be delivered to the Alaska Steamship Company, her owner, on June 1 and.to enter the Alaska business. Miss Frances Nowell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Willis E. Nowell, of Juneau, was sponsor of the vessel and smashed the traditional bottle on the steel hull. On the platform with her were E. T. Stannard, Vice-President and General Manager of the Alaska Steamship Company; C. W. Wiley, Chairman of the Board of the Todd Dry Docks, Inc.; J. A. Eves, President of the Todd Corporation, of Tacoma; H. W. Kent, President of the Todd Corporation of Seattle; Mr. and Mrs. Nowell, Everett Nowell, brother of sponsor, Mrs. Stannard, Mrs. Eves, Mrs. Kent and Mrs. Bunch and other officials, including Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Alexander and other notables in the ship- ping business of the West. the Jean Vanophem, President of the Jualin Alaska Mines Company, arrived in Juneau and left a day later to return to the mine. He was accompanied by Miss Vanophem and Miss Ivey, who had spent the last 10 days on a trip in the vicinity of Sitka and Chichagof. Roy F. Jones was taking passengers up in his seaplane and the previous day a number of people had flown over Juneau and Gastineau Channel, many making the flight a second and third time. A number including many of the Alaska Legislators, were making reservations to take a flight with Jones. Weather was rainy with a maximum temperature of 52 and a mini- mum of 43.
