IIEDFORD jrXTt TRIBUNE, JfEDFORD, OREGON. WEDNESD'AY, SPRTL' 3. 1933. LAST STRONGHOLD OF GREAT ICE AGE IS PHOT Fliers Make First Trip Over St. Elias Range On Can ada-Alaska Border See Many Peaks and Glaciers WASHINGTON, D. C (Spt. Plying at an altitude or more than 18,000 feet, with the mercury at lfi degree below nro. in order to photo graph mountain of tremendotia bulk. Bradford Waahburn, leader of the Na tional aeortrraphic Society's Yukon expedition, haa completed the ftrat airplane flight ever made over the heart of the St. Eliaa range on the Alaska-Canada border, and ha re corded on hla photographic platea an astounding number of hitherto un known glaclera and peak. The auc eeteful photographic flight, which followed reconnaissance flight a few daya earlier, and which was one of the major objectives of the expedition was announced in a telegram from the young explorer received at the headquarters of the National Ologra phic Society. After gaining the first sight that man has had of a group of huge peaks on the eastern aide of the St. Bits range, and the vast ice-choked valleys between them. Mr. Washburn telegraphed that in his opinion the region represents "the last stronghold of the Great Ice age on the North American Continent." The photographic flight was made from Carcroaa. Yukon Territory, about SO miles south of White Horse, which became a world famous date-line 38 years ago. during the Klondike gold rush. After another photographic flight from Carcross, Mr. Washburn said In his telegram, the expedition will dismiss its airplanes and settle down temporarily at its base camp on a huge newly discovered glacter, 130 miles west of the town. From this camp the party will begin Ita ground work of exploration and mapping to which it will devote about two and a half months. Dog Team to Camp by Plane While Mr. Waeliburn has been eon ducting the reconnolasance and, photographic flights, over the tangle of mountains In the southwestern corner of Yukon Territory, the other members of the party have been "ferrying" supplies and even dog team to the glacier-borne base camp by an airplane equipped with ski run ' ners. On the day Mr. Washburn's as sociates and the first load of supplies were taken to the camp, the tempera ture there was 45 degrees below zero. The ground work of the expedition will be concentrated to a considerable extent on the territory surrounding Mt. Hubbard; but the party also pro bably will attempt to push Its way on C THE PURPOSE OF SAVING IS SPENDING - The Dollar saved and prudent ly invested today will become TWO dollars that you can spend in the years ahead.

Mr. Wsshburn's detailed report of his latest flight follows: "Pilot Bob Randall, Bab Bates, and I have Just returned after making successfully the first flight across the very heart of the St. Ellas range. The trip was accomplished at an altitude of slightly over 18,000 feet in a Fatr ohlld monoplane, and toolc seven hours from Carero to Carcross. The door waa removed from the plane for photographic purposes, and the aver sge temperature encountered was about 18 degrees below zero. Five below zero was the warmest tempera ture all day. and the flight was com menced at 2fl degrees below early In the morning. Weather conditions were perfect. Will Man L'nexnTorenr nlarlrrs "After flying across the maze of i mountains between Carcross and the Alseit Valley, we flew over three great unexplored glaclera south of Mt. Hud bard which the expedition Is plan ntng to map during the next two months on Its journey toward Yaicu tat Bay. Circling to make photographs over the glacial- waste souh of Mt Hubbard, we flew west once more nearly over the corner of Yukatat bay to determine whether It win ne pos sible to cross the range to the Pacific side on foot while making our map. We believe that we have discovered both a safe and feasible route, altho It involves some 80 miles of dog sledg Injr from our present base. Turning north we followed me course of the gigantic Hubbard Gla cier lor fifty miles to Mt. I)gan (Until Mr. Washburn made the dis covery a few days earlier, It waa not known that Hubbard Olacler extend ed more than 30 miles from the coast). There we swung westward again, crossing the vast expanse of the upper Seward Olacler, and ootain- lng the first photographs ever taken of Mts. Cook, Vancouver. Logan, and St. Ellas from this angle. "At this point we attained our maximum altitude of nearly 19,000 feet and had to descend on account of lack of oxygen and the Intense cold. "After completing our photographs of Mt. St. Ellas, we circled to the cast around the northern end of Mt. Lo gan, the most colossal mountain mass I have ever seen in my life. Almost brushing our wing tips on King Peak, we passed over the Ogllvle Glacier up which the historic ascent of Mt. Logrn waa made In 1035. "We had hoped to be able to relum by way of Kluane Lake and Mt. Lu cauls, but here we encountered such a heavy northeast gale that we were scarcely able to make any progress at all In that direction. After ten min utes of fruitlessly bucking this wind. we descended to warmer and less tur bulent air at 13,000 feet and made our way back to the base camp east of Mt. Hubbard, where a landing was made about 1:30 o'clock In the uftei noon. Alter lunch there and a aho.t flight t Kluane for our dog team, which was carried fifty miles to camp In the airplane, we took off again reaching Carcross Just after sunset. Bates acted as recorder while I took the photographs. The faultless pilot lng of Randall and the perfect opera tlon of our Falrchlld camera and plane made possible a flight which with another that we plan for the near future. Is one of the most im portant features of our expedition The number of unknown glaciers and peaka which we have seen snd photo graphed on our first two flights Is almost Inconceivable. log Adopted hit ten.

URGED FOR MAINE AS AI0ffl PARTY (Continued from Psge One) "Just an Insurance agent trying to build up business." "You may recall," MacGrath wrote, "that It was at my suggestion and re quest that James Roosevelt spoke In Bath, Me., last October (during the presidential campaign) after our state election here, and I may say that this part of our campaign In Maine aroused considerable Interest and support for the president, not only In the city of Bath, but through out the state and we were almost able to carry the city of Bath for the president which normally has been a republican stronghold for years." The letter pointed out that the Bath company was then building one destroyer and waa bidding on two more. Awarded Contracts Previously W. S. Newell, president of the company, had testified he was awarded two destroyer Jobs a few weeks after the date of the Mac Orath letter. He did not mention the Insurance agent as having any con nection with the award. A second MacGrath letter, this one directed to Th I bail It on July 31, 1033, said: "I took up the matter of allotting to the Bath Iron works contracts for the two destroyers, with the naval authorities while I was In Washing ton the week before last. "I also wired the president direct ly and also Claude A- Swanson, sec retary to the navy, urging that all possible consideration be given to your bids and the placing of these contracts with the Bath Iron works." Meanwhile, Eddie Rlckcnbacker, World war flying ace, declined an Invitation to appear before the com mittee to testify on legislation to strengthen the army air corps. He expressed the opinion another trip to Washington would be fruitless. Nye made 4ils statement after evi dence had been Introduced by the committee that W. S. Newell, presi dent of Bath (Maine) Iron Works corporation, had supplied newspapers with war news clippings.
