(Continued from Page one.)
The "other reasons" evidently ln-
ciuaea an operation.
Post and Rogers made a leisurely
flight of 8 hours. 16 minutes, the
first dsy to Juneau.
Oov. John W..TTOT of Alaska, and
Joe Crosson, a hunting companion
last year of Post's, welcomed the two
on their arrival at Juneau, the terrl
tory'a capital.
They were the governor's guests
that night at the territorial mansion.
The next day It was still raining and
ineir night, which by now hsd be
come a "vacation trip," they said,
was delayed.
Hopped to Klondike
Within a few daya. they hopped
again over Into the historic Klondike
gold territory, to Dawson, Y. T.. and
even there found themselves the ob
jects of much attention. Miners and
prospectors came miles to see them.
wunin two days they took off
again, their destination unannounced
as usual, snd they turned up at Ak
lavlk. N. w. T., at the mouth of the
Mackenzie river, on the Arctic.
Rogers commented In one of his
pert dispatches that the Esklmoa
were "thicker than rich men at a
save-the-constltutlon convention." He
also found It cold. It was 40 degrees
above zero. Their stsy there was
short.
A night back to Interior Alaska, to
Fairbanks, followed, and then In a
commercial plane they flew south to
Ancnorage and over to the Mata
ntiska project.
"Pioneering for spinach Is differ
ent than pioneering for gold," said
Rogers. "I didn't see any mosqultos
there." he added.
They returned to Fairbanks, where
their plnne had been serviced, and
then followed their tragic flight
norm kj i-oint Barrow, ending In dis
aster near their destination.
In the Hoover administration, friend
of Rogers since they were bovs to
gether in Oklahoma called him "one
of the cleanest, finest characters I
have ever known. He was one of
nature's noblemen. '
"I knew Wiley Post well also. He
was a brilliant and Intrepid flier."
Mayor Frank S. Shaw, of Los Ang
eles, here on business, said, "I was
with Will only two weeks ago. No
words I could say now would com
pletely express my sorrow."
"Oklahoma has lost Its two great
est sons." said Representative Will
Rogers of that state. He recalled the
humorist's endorsement had helped
put him In congress.
Representative Boland, of Pennsyl
vania said "No one realized Rogers'
genius for Judging current events"
better than members of congress.
Speaker Byrns said today he had a
premonition that trouble would come
to Will Rogers on the Alaskan flight.
"When I read he was Koine on that
long trip." he said. "I told my wife.
'I wish Will Rogers wouldn't do that.'
I said he was liable to get killed."
