ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER
THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION
GENERAL GREELY.
The history of the Uniied States Signal Corps in
Alaska is a complete story of communication in the
North. It was through the Signal Corps that Alaskans
were afforded their first communication by telegraph
and today it still provides the most modern means of
communication. Thus it is with a tinge of sadness
that Alaskans read of the passing of that grand old
man of the Signal Corps, Gen. Adolphus W. Greely
in Washington at the age of 91. It was General Greely
who headed the Signal Corps when the initial cables
and land lines were laid In the North.
