Th fair' architecture, grounds, statuary, flowers and gen-
oral arrangement are as thrilling as they have been pictured
. . . Above, oa oi sculptures in Fountain of Western Waters. '
The motorlog party pauses in the Court of tha Paciiica while
th cameraman works.
Included In the group were
Mr. and Mrs. James Nelson,
who visited the fair last fall,
and Mrs. Notion and myself,
who were making our first
visit to the exposition.
We motored out of Portland
early Saturday night so as to
"break the back" of our long
Journey ahead of the holiday
traffic. Agate Beach inn was
the goal of our white Ford V-8
the first night out, and on Sun
day we slid easily down the
coast to Benbow inn, just be
yond Eureka.
And so on south through the
vineyards near Santa Rosa and
into San Francisco Monday
afternoon over the graceful
Golden Gate bridge. Although
we had traveled all the way
from Oregon through sunshine,
we met clouds and a cool
breeze as we approached the
bay environs.
We found both comfort and
courtesy at the Whiteomb
hotel and from there we sallied
forth to enjoy San Francisco
and the fair. The highlights of
our three-day stay were:
1. The Ice Follies, a show of
exceptional merit with right
proportions o f pulchritude,
skillful grace, comedy and
precision.
2. A journey along Sail Fran
cisco's waterfront, including
Fishermen's wharf and a lunch
eon at the Cliff House over
looking the seal rocks and th
entrance to the Golden Gate.
Our return through Golden
Gate park was so rapid that w
regretfully passed up the
aquarium.
3. A trip along the peninsula
to San Mateo, Redwood City
and Palo Alto to visit friend
and see Stanford university.
4. And, of course, the exposi
tion on Treasure island.
Despite prior warning, it was
a surprise to our party to see
women wearing fur coats in San
Francisco in June, but there
are times when such garment
are very desirable. Two of the
days we were on the island th
sun was bright but the sea
breeze was brisk.
Grade Allen, whom we heard
and saw broadcast, wore a gray
squirrel coat one night. We sat
by her on an elephant train.
Question No. 6: How long
does it take?
A very nice trip can be made
in a week two days down,
three days In San Francisco
and two days home.
The Jackson-Klamath vaca
tion camp will be held at Wil

FIVE AIR BASES
ALASKADEFENSE
Uncle Sam to Spend $25,
000,000 On North Pacific
Bulwark Work Hurried
By Dvon Francis
AMOctatrd Prens Aviation Editor.
Fairbanks, Alaska, July 3.
(IP) On SOO acres of a flat,
sun-seared piece of Interior
Alaska the army has completed
preliminary work for the run
ways of an airport which will
serve both as an air defense
base and as a tactical training
center at the "top of the world."
Five air bases are under con
struction in Alaska by the army
and the navy.
At a cost of perhaps $25.
000,000 the services propose to
set up at least the embryo of
n air defense system.
For years Alaska, as a mili
tary prooiem, nas noi exl5lea door" as
In army and navy budgets. Now, ( r;ai
with a world political and mili
tary situation which has made
both the administration and con
gress apprehensive, Alaska has
been designated as the north
Pacific bulwark of our air and
sea defense.
Sub Baa Also
Since last fall the survey and
actual spade work at Sitka,
Anchorase. Fairbanks. L'nalaska
(Dutch Harbor) and Kodiak has
progressed more rapidly than
military men care to admit.
Unalaska will be a submarine,
ss well as an air, base.
At Sitka the plane hangars
already are up. The first con
tingent of infantrymen was
landed last week at Anchorage
for th protection of the army
air base. At Fairbanks a winter
long experiment on the "staying
qualities'' of concrete for run
ways in temperatures of 50
and 60 degres below zero is
complete.
Into the territory of Alaska I
all summer there have drifted
unobtrusively army and navy
engineers, tactical experts and
fliers.
ComprhnilT Plans
Army plans for the air de
fense of Alaska actually are
more comprehensive than have
been made public. But even so.
it is a question whether the
I bases and armament which will
be poured into this point of the
Pacific "defense triangle" Ha
waii, the Aleutians and Pana
ma will be cloth cut to fit the
job.
Territorial Governor Ernest
Gruening says Alaska needs
more than 100 first-class air
port for defense. It has no
airport of that caliber yet.
The five bases and two or
three others projected, includ
ing one at Metlakatla, an island
just south of Ketchikan, in the
Alaska panhandle, protect Alas
ka's "back door." But the "front
door," draining off the Bering
slope, the northwest Arctic
slope and the Seward peninsula,
is wide open.
Apart from ordinary air de
fense outposts in Alaska for the
protection of the continent from
the west is the importance of
the areas back of the "front
source of raw ma
terial.
Coal and Oil
On the Bering slope are coal
deposits, outcropped so strong
ly that the whaling ships of old
used to refuel there. There is
oil, too. The natives of the
Arctic slope use oil-staked peat
for heating and cooking. There
are rich copper deposits on the
Alaska peninsula, a prize for
any metal-hungry aggressor. On
the outermost point of the Se
ward peninsula, on Cape Prince
of Wales, are the York tin
deposits.
The Aleutian chain of Islands
I remains a largely
unsounded
and unexplored area to the
navy. The fur seal area of the
Prioilof group is unprotected
except for casual visits of bu
reau of fisheries boats and
planes.
T
R. "J. Grey, principal of the
Prospect school, charged with
! leaving a campfire unattended
and burning, entered a plea of
guilty in justice court yesterday
afternoon, and was given a sus
pended sentence of 60 days.
A similar charge filed against
two boys, Bud Fredericks and
Alva Wright, was dismissed.
Grey and the two boys, dur
ing an outing at Red lake on
the Skyline trail of the Cas
cades, had attempted to put out
their fire with water and dirt,
but did not do a complete job,
it was shown.
L. A. Thomas, charged with
obtaining credit by false pre
tense, waived preliminary hear
ing and was ordered held to
await grand jury action, under
$500 bond. Thomas allegedly
gave the Gates Auto company
a check for $98 for a chattel
mortgage on a . truck, without
funds In the bank.
E. N. Young was asessed $1
and costs for being drunk on
a public highway.
James F. Hickman was as
sessed $2.50 and cost for driv
ing an auto without lights. Rece
L. Herndon nd Chester B.
Keene, charged with operating
an auto with Improper lights,
were each fined $1 and costs
