Secretary Dußose had a telephone
conversation with the government’s
representative Tuesday afternoon and
he stated that an airship would be
sent to Blakely the latter part of
this week to inspect the landing site.
We are hopeful that the initial
visit of Uncle Sam’s birdman will
prove the precursor of frequent vis
its from the intrepid men who navi
gate the air.
