Chase of Crescent City, fully equipped with a bonafide cap and ball "shoot in' am" carried thejmail on the special re-run of the mail commemorating the centen nial celebration of the old Waldo -Crescent City mail route, which left the O'Brien post , office at 8:30 Saturday morning, Aug. 23. He is expected to arrive he.- fore the grandstand in time for the afte'rnoon program of the Del Norte County fair in Crescent City. ' The sack of an estimated 1000 pieces of special mail. left in a jeep over the old Wimer rd., built in 1882, to the North Fork of the Smith river, where it will be car ried across on horseback for a distance of two miles. This two mile' stretch of the old Pioneer rd. has been aban doned for nearly 60 years and was so overgrown with brush a work detail of the Del Norte Historical Society had to clear it before even a horse could travel it. The last seven miles of the mail run will be made in two horse team spring wagon and will carry, besides the driver and Rev. Chase with the mail. Mrs. Collins Mc- Clendon of Crescent City, the granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Van Buren Jones, who owned and operated the stop ping place of Rockland at the crossing of the North Fork of the Smith River, one mile south of the border. Also on the wagon will be Mrs Drexel Swanson of Crescent City, daughter of the ' Del Norte Historical Society president. The mail run was estab lished from Sailor Diggings later renamed Waldo in 1858 and five years later, in 1863 the new Waldo store and post office was built. The O'Brien Dost office was used as the starting point of the centen nial run, being the nearest station on the old route to the original Waldo site which has completely deteriorated. Portland Airport Building Dedicated Portland (UPD The new nine-story air terminal at Portland's International air port was dedicated Sunday amid 95-deeree heat and a mamoth traffic jam. In an address, Gov. Robert D. Holmes dedicated the mod ern air facility "to the widest possible use by people all over the world." Spectators, who came in droves to see the $5,285,000 structure, also witnessed one of the largest air shows in the nation this year in the fourth annual Jaycee air fair. Multnomah sheriffs depu ties toiled until nearly 6 p.m. almost two-and-a-half hours after the end of the ceremon ies, to clear -tne xramc jam created by some 25,000 cars parked at the airport and along all roads ift a 30-block radius. Wishing Well Coins Stolen at Portland Portland (UPD Police said today sneak thieves made off with $600 in coins from a wishing well at Lambert gar dens here. The thieves pried off a protective screen cover ing to scoop out the cash, po lice said. Daily's U-Drive Medford Airport Before this mail route was established, the inland set tiers received their mail and supplies either through Port land and Scottsburg or from the Sacramento valley by Shasta. The Pioneer rd., the Waldo Crescent City mail route was built by the Crescent City Plank Road and Turnpike company, a share company. Soon after the road opened in May of 1858, two rival ex press companies operating at that time out of Crescent City, the McLellan and Com pany and P. J. Mann outfit and the J. P. Johnson Com pany, staged a race over the 60 miles. The Johnson com pany won, setting a record of 5 hours and 27 minutes for the course, a time that could scarcely be surpassed over such a road 50 years later in a Model-T or any other car. . Horace Gasquet, a French settler, secured rights to a part of the old Pioneer road, built by the Smith River val ley people. In 1882 the Wimer road was ready for use, it coincided for about 16 miles with the original road but at both ends of the route was quite different. Gasquet was not finished, however. He continued his road, which came from Cres cent City, through his town and continued from Gasquet station, went up the north bank of the middle fork to Patricks creek, switching over to Shelly creek and thence over Oregon mountain and down into Illinois Valley. This became the most popu lar road and continued in use until 1920 when the present Highway 199 was developed. The present special cachet was carried over a combina tion of the old Pioneer and Wimer roads. Present at the O'Brien post office to launch the special mail run was Johnny Valen, former post master of O'Brien and Art Williams, former driver of the mail run. The last mail run by stage was in 1914 when the horse-drawn ve hicle was replaced by one of the first cars,' using a crank on the side of the running board. However, due to the road conditions, many times it had to be parked and the driver returned to the horses. Mr. and Mrs. Floyd B. Blade of Gasquet in their own jeep accompanied the special cachet as escorts. "MUMMY, MAKE IT WELL!" Sometimes Mummy's love and care just aren't enough to make it well.
