Old Hot Shot Furnace at Fort Morgan, Alabama which was used to
heat cannon balls red hot for the purpose of sinking the
enemy’s ships before the day of high explosives. It repulsed
an attack by British warships in 1814, sinking the Flagship
“HERMES”. It was installed under James Madison’s
administration by a French General Simon Bernard, who had
experience with hot shot furnaces under Napoleon. It rests in the
middle of the little original Fort built by the Spanish in the
middle of the 16th century with ten old gun mounts still intact.

lies one of the most picturesque valleys in all Southern
California-Hollywood, the city within a city. Legally a part
of Los Angeles since 1911, the home of the Motion Picture Industry
has retained its own distinct individuality.
For the most part Hollywood is a plain lying under high hills.
Winding streets fringed with palm and pepper trees, and eucalyptus
climb the sun browned hills. Farther down on the plain, older homes
surrounded by spacious gardens are being pushed aside by huge
apartment houses and hotels; Spanish castles and French Chateaux,
vying with each other in luxury and magnificence. Many millions
have been expended in architecturally beautiful buildings in the
Film City.
Hollywood boulevard, only yesterday a village lane, is today a
cosmopolitan thoroughfare thronging with traffic. For more than a
mile along this street, height limit office buildings jostel huge
department stores and smart exclusive shops. Walking along the
Boulevard one catches glimpses of numerous famous faces. Hollywood
is the amusem*nt and shopping center for the entire surrounding
territory.
The Hollywood Bowl, an amphitheater in the hills where thousands
gather each summer evening to listen to “Symphonies Under the
Stars.” In another hollow of the hills, the Pilgrimage

A city of many churches, schools, colleges, picture studios and
theaters which has attracted world famous writers, artists and
musicians-a city of flowers and trees and brilliant California
Sunshine-this is Hollywood.

Although the rise of Los Angeles was both recent and rapid, the
city itself is as old as the republic. In 1871 the Spanish pueblo
La Ciudad de Nuestra Senora la Reina de Los Angeles, The City of
our Lady the Queen of the Angels was made a village by 144
colonists from Mexico. In half a century the sleepy little Spanish
town increased its population to 770 inhabitants.
In 1880, the city had a population of only 11,093, but from that
year rapid strides were made in all lines of development and by the
last census in 1940, the population had reached approximately
1,500,000.
The people of Los Angeles represent the pioneers who left their
homes in all parts of the country to become part of the fastest
growing city in the world. The founders of Los Angeles brought
experience gained in all parts of the earth.
The extraordinary development of Los Angeles harbor’s
world trade has interested the maritime nations of the earth and
all who follow the sea for a living. This admirable advance is due,
primarily to the city’s location on one of the cross road
points of the globe, with a magnificent tributary back country; and
secondarily, to the co-operation and energy of Southern California
communities. It belongs to all of them.
Nowhere in the world can be found the diversity of climate and
scenery as in the vicinity of Los Angeles. In a few hours time a
trip may be made from the beaches, where bathing is in progress, to
the mountains, where all winter sports may be enjoyed. Swimming may
be indulged in twelve months a year at a number of municipally
owned beaches.
To the fisherman, the waters between Los Angeles and Catalina
Island are a paradise, for in the Catalina Channel may be caught
the giant sea bass, tuna, yellowtail and albacore. This channel is
one of only two laces in the world where tuna are to be found. For
those who prefer fresh water fishing, there are a number of
mountain streams in the vicinity of Los Angeles, where trout
abound. Fishing is one of the many sports that cen be pursued all
year ‘round in Los Angeles.
In the mountains and foothills, a few miles from the city are
hundreds of trails which lure hikers and mountain lovers. Many make
it a practice to spend the Christmas holiday season in the snow
that covers the landscape and lends an admirable setting to the
celebrations usually given.
The visitor can reach within a short ride of Los Angeles, his
favorite kind of scenery varying from the booming surf of the
Pacific to the snow-clad peaks of the Sierras and picturesque
desolation of the desert. Many miles of shore line offer surf
bathing, motor boating, yachting and salt-water fishing the year
around, while mountains with their miles of highways, trails and
bridlepaths, invite alike the motorists, the hiker and the rider.
Mountain camps are provided for the motorist, while numerous golf
courses lure devotees of the green. Los Angeles is not only the
climatic capital of the nation, but the year ‘round
playground of millions.

CALIFORNIA MISSIONS IN THE ORDER OF THEIR FOUNDING: MISSION SAN
DIEGO DE ALCALA was the first Mission to be established. It was
founded July 16th, 1769 by Fra Junipera Serra, and is located in
beautiful Mission Valley about seven miles from San Diego.
MISSION SAN CARLOS BORROMEO DE CARMELO, Father
Serra’s favorite, was founded June 3rd, 1770. It is located
in the beautiful Carmel Valley overlooking the blue Pacific, and it
was here that Father Serra died and is buried in the Chapel of the
Church. The Mission is the shrine for thousands who desire to pay
homage to one of the world’s greatest of missionary leaders.
MISSION SAN ANTONIO DE PADUA was the third in the
order of establishment, July 14th, 1771. It is the most isolated of
all the Missions as it stands deserted and all but forgotten in a
valley in the mountains about 25 miles southwest from King City.
(Not pictured in this Folder).
MISSION SAN GABRIEL ARCANGEL, the fourth Mission,
was founded September 8th, 1771. It is located in San Gabriel about
nine miles east of Los Angeles and is one of the most popular
missions in California. Here is given annually the famous “Mission
Play” attended by thousands of people.
MISSION SAN LUIS OBISPO DE TOLOSA, the fifth
Mission, was established September 1st, 1772 and was the first
church built of logs. Tile roofs were first used at this mission.
It is in good state of preservation, and services are conducted
daily. It is located in the town of San Luis Obispo.
MISSION DOLORES, (San Francisco de Assisi) was the
sixth Mission and was the beginning of the metropolis of San
Francisco. It was founded October 9th, 1776, and today the old
structure stands by the side of a large church in the very heart of
San Francisco.
MISSION SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, the seventh Mission,
was founded November 1st, 1776. It is located about midway between
San Diego and Los Angeles. Its broken pillars and arches and parts
of the cloisters, the oldest church in the state, as well as the
extensive quadrangle and beautiful gardens, are the interesting
features.
MISSION SANTA CLARA (Santa Clara de Assisi), was
founded January 12th, 1777. It was the eighth in the order of
founding by the Franciscan Fathers. Due to successive catastrophes,
all that remains of the original buildings are parts of the adobe
walls adjoining the modern church which is on the University of
Santa Clara campus. The present building is a replica of the
original house of worship.
MISSION SAN BUENAVENTURA, ninth of the California
Missions and the last founded by Father Serra in person, stands in
the city of Ventura. It was established on Easter Sunday, March
31st, 1782. When this mission was built there were no metal bells
available, so wooden bells were substituted, and the mission became
famous for them.
MISSION SANTA BARBARA, the tenth Mission, is
located on a mesa overlooking the City of Santa Barbara and the
blue Pacific. It was founded December 4th, 1786 and is one of the
best preserved of all the missions, and is the only Mission in
California of which the Franciscan Order has never relinquished
control.
MISSION LA PURISIMA CONCEPCION, the eleventh in
order, was founded December 8th, 1787. It is located in the Santa
Ynez River Valley near

the town of Lompoc, and is in a fair state of preservation.
SANTA CRUZ MISSION was founded September 25th,
1791, the twelfth in the chain. Today no trace of the mission
remains, but on its site,
facing the plaza in Santa Cruz is the Church of the Holy Cross,
in which is reproduced as faithfully as faithfully as possible, the
line and details of the original structure.
MISSION NUESTRA SENORA DE LA SOLEDAD (Our Lady of
Solitude) lies in ruins on a plain about four miles from the town
of Soledad. The roofless ruin and mass of mud brick walls of this
large mission recall the many hardships of the devout fathers who
carried the badge of Christianity up and down the state. It was the
thirteenth mission, founded October 9th, 1791. (Not shown in this
folder).
MISSION SAN JOSE DE GUADALUPE, near San Jose, was
founded June 11th, 1797. It is located about 15 miles north of San
Jose, on the western slope of the Diablo Range, overlooking the
Santa Clara Valley. Of this fourteenth Mission, only one building,
the monastery of the once extensive group, remains today.
MISSION SAN JUAN BAUTISTA
, the fifteenth Mission, was founded June 24th, 1797. The
Mission stands on a low mesa in the town of San Juan, midway
between Salinas and Gilroy, overlooking a fruitful valley. San Juan
is one of the most beautiful of the Missions, and the church dating
from 1812, was the only one of the California Missions, that had
three aisles. MISSION SAN MIGUEL ARCANGEL, the sixteenth Mission,
was founded July 25th, 1797. It is now a parish church and in good
repair, with many of the original decorations still in tact. It is
located in the Salinas Valley in the town of San Miguel, about nine
miles north of Paso Robles. MISSION SAN FERNANDO REY DE
ESPAÑA, the seventeenth Mission, is located about twenty miles
northwest of Los Angeles, and was founded September 8th, 1797. This
vast establishment is undergoing an extensive restoration program.
Of the old buildings, the only one in fair repair, is the Convent,
a picturesque adobe, with a long arched corridor. Visitors are
shown the padres’ refectory and kitchens, and also the
cellars and wine vats where Indian converts trampled out the juice
of the grape. The old gardens are now an attractive city park, in
which are preserved, in separate beds, examples of flowers and
shrubs from all the other missions. MISSION SAN LUIS REY DE
FRANCIA, was the eighteenth Mission, and was founded June 13th,
1798. It was one of the largest of the missions and was named for
Louis IX, King of France, who was a Franciscan. It is located in a
beautiful valley about five miles inland from Oceanside, and is the
seat of the Missionary College of the Franciscan order. MISSION
SANTA YNEZ, the nineteenth Mission, is located in the beautiful
Santa Ynez Valley. It was founded September 17th, 1804, near the
town of Lompoc. (Not shown in this folder). MISSION SAN RAFAEL
ARCANGEL, was the twentieth Mission, founded December 14th, 1817.
The adobe structures erected here, none too stable, crumbled with
time and disappeared. No trace of the Mission remains. (Not shown
in this folder). MISSION SAN FRANCISCO SOLANO DE SONOMA was the
21st and last of the Missions to be established by the Franciscan
Fathers. The Mission was founded by Father Jose Altimira and
Twenty-seven soldiers, July 4th, 1823. It is located in the town of
Sonoma, 50 miles north of San Francisco and is the most northerly
mission in the chain. The church is today a State Museum,
containing an interesting collection of early days.

Pikes Peak, Sentinel of the Rocky Mountains, is America’s
most famous mountain. It was the landmark of the pioneer and
continues to be the magnet which attracts thousands of people to
the Rocky Mountain region. It rises abruptly from the plains and
its Summit towers more than tow thousand feet above its highest
neighbor. There are no other peaks that approach its height within
a radius of ninety miles.
Lieut. Zebulon Montgomery Pike was the discoverer of the famous
mountain in November 1806, but never ascended to its Summit.
Thirteen years later, Major Long and his exploration party found an
easier approach and reached its top. Today thousands of visitors
from all parts of the world ride in comfort to the top of this
mountain, 14,110 feet above sea level.
The Summit is reached by the picturesque Pikes Peak Highway
comprising eighteen miles of unexcelled scenic beauty. The grandeur
of this road winding through the Pike National Forest, and climbing
by easy grades to the very top of the world’s most famous
peak, is beyond description.
From the Summit of Pikes Peak one has a wonderful panorama view
in all directions. Sixty thousand square miles of Colorado are
spread out before you. To the west and north, two hundred and fifty
miles of the Continental Divide, a line of towering peaks clothed
in perpetual snow; to the east is a vast ocean of plains, superb
and placid, extending to the dim horizon. Colorado Springs,
fourteen miles distant as the crow would fly, lies like a garden
patch on border of the plains.
In the spring of the year, when the highway is first opened,
cars often drive between banks of snow that are ten to twenty feet
deep extending from timberline to the Summit, some six miles in
distance. These huge snow banks disappear in summer but there are
places on the mountain where snow is perpetual and it is not
uncommon to experience a real snow storm on the Summit in
midsummer.

Scenic Broadmoor-Cheyenne Mt. District, Colorado Springs:
Broadmoor is a fine residence district at the foot of Cheyenne
Mountain adjacent to Colorado Springs. In the midst of this
district stands the Broadmoor Hotel lying in beautiful grounds at
the edge of a lake.
The Broadmoor-Cheyenne Highway starts at the hotel, skirting the
great golf-course, to reach the top of Cheyenne Mt., 9,500 feet
high, in a series of scissor-like switchbacks up the face of the
mountain. The road is a marvel of road construction blasted thru
great slopes littered with boulders as large as a house, along the
face of solid rock cliffs, and cut thru slopes where gashes forty
of fifty feet deep had to be dug in the side of the mountain. At
the top stands Cheyenne Lodge a charming place built in massive
pueblo style of creamy stucco. From the Lodge one may look over the
“Devil’s Horns,” solid spurs of rock projecting up from the
mountain, to obtain sweeping views of the plains below and the
mountains all about. Although the road give the thrill of a
lifetime in climbing the dizzy heights of the mountain, it is wide
and secure, bordered by steel fences and thoroughly safe.
The Will Rogers Shrine of the Sun, a solid stone castle-like
structure, high upon a promontory of Cheyenne Mt. was finished and
dedicated in 1937. It captured the imagination and interest of the
public as no other feature has for years. Here also are the ashes
of Spencer Penrose, the builder of all these great features.
It is a perpetual memorial to the memory of the great humorist.
Illuminated each night with a perpetual beacon burning in its
spire, with chimes sounding each quarter hour. It is one of the
most unusual memorials ever constructed.
The Zoo at the foot of the mountain with one of the greatest
collection of wild animals in this country and the miniature cog
railway from the Broadmoor to the Zoo are also unusual
features.
North and South Cheyenne Cañons emerge from the mountains
in the valley just behind the Broadmoor district and are two of the
most remarkable and charming cañons in the Rockies.
South Cheyenne Cañon cannot be equaled for sheer depth and
beauty with great walls of richly colored granite rising straight
up from the narrow bottom. The Cañon terminates in the
wonderful spectacle of Seven Falls where the dainty stream drops
down an almost sheer cliff in seven beautiful falls.
North Cheyenne Cañon is longer than its sister to the
south. It is a favorite outing spot and is part of the municipal
park system. Several beautiful water falls occur in this Cañon
of which Hellen Hunt Falls is the most noted. Close by these falls
stands Bruin Inn, a picturesque mountain inn. From the upper part
of North Cheyenne Cañon the High Drive leads over the hills to
Bear Creek Cañon and back to the city in a circle trip.

Buffalo Bill: A Brief Biography of a Strenuous Life. William
Frederick Cody was born in Scott County, Iowa, February 26th, 1846.
His parents were Isaac and Mary Cody, descendants direct from
Revolutionary patriots. In 1854 the Codys migrated to Salt Creek
Valley, in Kansas, through which the famous Salt Creek Trail led
the early pioneers toward the Pacific. It was here that life opened
strenuously for young Will Cody, for the “Free Soilers” were making
things lively in those parts, and Isaac Cody took an emphatic stand
on the subject of anti-slavery. While still in his teens young Cody
engaged as a “extra man” with Russell Majors & Waddell, and was
in the saddle as part of the guard for one of their supply trains.
He was next employed as a pony express rider for the same firm. As
trapper and guide he next came into prominence. On the day of his
mother’s funeral, he rode to Fort Leavenworth and enlisted in
the U. S. Cavalry. This was November 22, 1863. As a member of the
Seventh Kansas known as “Jennison’s Jayhawkers” he marched to
Memphis and Shermans forces, and was assigned to special duty under
General A. J. Smith. In the Campaign of the Seventh Kansas young
Cody was first actively engaged in a battle,-Pilot Knob,
September 24, 1864, against the Confederate General Price. Special
duty engaged him until the war was over when he again returned to
the plains. Driving the Overland Stage Coach between Fort Kearney
and Plumb Creek, in Nebraska, was his first employment after he
left the Army. Next he engaged in Scout duty, one of his
assignments being guide to Custer long before the Big Horn
catastrophe. Later he contracted with the promoters of the Kansas
Pacific Railroad to supply their workmen with buffalo meat, and in
this service he acquired the title of Buffalo Bill,” having killed,
in seven months, 4280 buffaloes. Scouting for General Sheridan was
his next duty, and as bearer of dispatches between Fort Hayes and
Dodge he created the unparalleled record of riding three hundred
and fifty miles in sixty hours. He was then detailed to Fort Hayes
and made Chief of Scouts, by Sheridan for the Fifth Cavalry, later
being assigned to Gen. E. A. Carr’s command who made him
Chief of Scouts. In June 1868, at the battle fo Summit Springs, he
killed Chief Tall Bull and turned the scales of battle to complete
victory. He was assigned as guide for General Sheridan and the
Grand Duke Alexis on their grand Buffalo hunt, and served in
various capacities when a horseman of experience was called into
requisition. In 1872 he was elected to the Nebraska legislature and
later received his title of Colonel of the State National Guard
from the late Governor Thayer. During interims between scouting
activities, Cody in 1872, made his debut as an actor in a border
drama entitled “Scouts of the Plains,” with successful results. The
Indian uprising of Centennial year brought Buffalo Bill again into
prairie activities and his service as Scout were again employed by
General Carr with the Fifth Cavalry. While on the campaign which
resulted in the death of Custer and, following the sad event, he
came across Yellow Hand, who had detached himself from the other
Indians for the purpose of disposing of “Pa-has-ka” as Cody was
known to the Indians, and in the hand-to-hand combat that followed
Yellow Hand was killed. The First Scalp for Custer. These known
instances where Cody has disposed of Indians are cited to prove
that never wantonly and without provocation has he taken life:
there has always been ample cause and abundant necessity. In 1891
as Colonel of the Nebraska National Guard, under General Dolby, he
did effective service during the Indian Ghost Dance War, and
assisted materially in bringing about peace. He originated the Wild
West Show, 1882, and with it toured the civilized world. He not
only often achieved “Honorable Mention” but won that greatest prize
to the soldier: “The Congressional Medal.”
Mourned by millions he passed over the Great Divide, January 10,
1917. In the Rotunda of the Capitol Building of Colorado his body
lay in State and Mayor Speer arranged, by deed from the City of
Denver, that the remains of this great Western-American shall
forever rest in the rocky fastness of Mount Lookout, overlooking
the vast plains he helped to subdue and make habitable.
Sleep on old Pioneer! Under the aegis of the old flag, our
hallowed Stars and Stripes, may he rest forever and a day. “Johnny”
Baker.

A great eruption tore the top from Mount Mazama, once 12,000
feet high, to form beautiful Crater Lake, a thousand feet deep, 20
miles in circumference, its water formed from melted snow. Its
beautiful rich blue is unique, and it is surrounded with
multi-colored cliffs which rise from 500 to 2,000 feet above its
rim. Stocked with rainbow trout, Crater Lake is a fisherman’s
paradise. In Winter, snow falls to a depth of sixty to eighty feet,
yet the Lake never freezes, but remains close to freezing the year
round. Discovered less than 100 years ago, Crater Lake is a
favorite spot for vacationers who love nature. Trails lead to high
points on the rim, and to the shore. Launches and rowboats are
present for fishing or scenic trips, and a good road presents many
enthralling views of the lake.

conveyed the Arlington Tract about 1,100 acres to John Parke
Custis, the consideration named being 1,100 pounds in Virginia
currency.
John Parke Custis was the son of Martha Washington by her first
marriage. He was aide-de-camp to Washington during the Revolution,
and upon his death, November 5, 1781, of camp fever contracted at
Yorktown, Washington adopted his two youngest children-George
Washington Parke Custis and Eleanor Parke Custis.
George Washington Parke Custis, who inherited the Arlington
Estate from his father, was a member of Washington’s family
until the death of Washington in 1799, and soon after removed to
Arlington where he resided until his death, October 10, 1857.
By his will, bearing date of March 26, 1855, he devised the
“Arlington House Estate: to his daughter and only child. Mary Ann
Randolph Lee, wife of Lieut. Col. Robert E. Lee, U. S. Army, for
her use and benefit during her natural life, and on her death to
his eldest grandson, George Washington Custis Lee, to him and his
heirs forever.
By an executive order by the President of the United States
dated January 6, 1864, the entire tract of 1,100 acres, more or
less, was “selected for Government use for war, military,
charitable, and educational purposes.” under the provisions of the
Acts of Congress of June 7, 1862, and February 6, 1863. By the same
order it was directed that the property be sold to meet the payment
of $91007, direct taxes due thereon. This was done January 11,
1864, and the property was bid in for the United States for the sum
of $26,800.00. Mrs. Lee, having died in 1873, legal proceedings
contesting the legality of the tax sale were instituted by George
Washington Custis Lee, as heir under the will of his grandfather,
George Washington Parke Custis. The cause was heard in the United
States Circuit Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, and
verdict rendered in his favor, which, upon appeal, was affirmed by
the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, December 4,
1882.
Congress, by act of March 3, 1883, appropriated the sum of
$150,000 for the purchase of this property and on March 31, 1883,
George Washington Custis Lee conveyed to the United States by deed
the title to the property in question for the sum appropriated.

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK established on March 1, 1872 by an act
of Congress of the United States of America, is mostly in
northwestern Wyoming, but extends also into the states of Montana
and Idaho. It was set apart not only to preserve the unique
geysers, terraces, and other thermal features, but to protect the
entire area and its wild life in order that people from all lands
may benefit by seeing and enjoying its countless attractions. In
its 3,471.51 square miles are large numbers of wild animals
including bison, moose, wapiti, deer, pronghorns, and both grizzly
and black bears, all living in their native environment. There are
at least 10,000 separate and distinct thermal features of all kinds
in the park.
Yellowstone Lake is about 20 miles long from north to south and
is 14 miles across from West Thumb to the opposite shore of the
lake. Its shoreline has been measured at more than 100 miles and
its area computed at 139 square miles. The Grand Canyon of the
Yellowstone extends for 24 miles to the mouth of the Lamar River.
It is from 800 to 1,200 feet in depth, the deepest part being east
of Mt. Washburn. There are only two places below the Lower Falls in
this vicinity where it is safe for human beings to climb down the
canyon walls to the river-by Uncle Toms Trail and at the Seven
Mile Hole, a fishing hole.

INDIANS OF THE WEST: Before the coming of the white man, the
usual costume of an Indian man was a small skin attached to a belt.
Later on decorated skin shirts for display on dress-up occasions
became popular. Between 1650 and 1750 the Spaniards came from the
south and brought the horse, probably then some of the Indians
abandoned agriculture entirely and became nomadic hunters. This
roving equestrian life seemed to engender a warlike spirit. It was
not long before the western tribes, expanding their hunting
territory, began to press back upon the more peaceful earth-lodge
farmers, forcing them farther and farther toward the east.
Indians have always had a love of costume, colorful and ornate.
In early days warriors bronzed and painted themselves and their
ornamented weapons. Much care was given to dressing the hair,
usually they arranged their locks in two braids, resting them
across the shoulders. Weird and savage is the famous Apache “Devil
Dance,” once the most war-like of Indian tribes in the Southwest,
the Apaches are slowly adapting civilization. An Indian Ceremonial
Dance cannot be described, they must be seen. The dancing is
violent with primitive intensity and earnestness; the singing
emphatic and meaningful, calling upon the Unseen; the costuming
audacious, prompted by innate artistic fearlessness. The whole is
an emotional orgy, drawing out an elemental response from its
audience, stimulating and in explainable.
Women were literally the homemakers among the American Indian
tribes. They made, erected and transported the tepee. The tepee was
considered to be her property. Today’s Indian women are
artists in various types of handicraft. We see women weaving
baskets; men and women weaving blankets-the Hopi man, the
Navajo woman; silversmiths, sitting on the floor tapping out their
ware from Mexican pesos, which are practically sterling. The more
northerly and easterly Shoshoni were horse and buffalo Indians, and
in character compared favorably with most western tribes.

INDIAN LIFE IN ARIZONA: The southwest enchanted land, comprising
Arizona and New Mexico, is probably the oldest region in the United
States. Before the coming of the Spaniards in 1540, doubtless
thousand years before, populous Indian Pueblos overflowed the
valley and topped the heights. The Indian Pueblo exists today,
peopled by a brown race whose ancestors lived in the same place for
centuries. Here and there are ruins of some prehistoric pueblo or
cliff dwelling. All these tribes are civilized and many are
educated, and even earn a living from flocks and herds or by
cultivating the soil. Various crafts, such as blanket weaving,
basketry, making of pottery, bead-work, and silverwork, are an
important part of their livelihood.
The Navajos or Desert Nomads wander over sections of three
states, embracing an area from 20,000 to 25,000 square miles,
larger than Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and New
Hampshire combined. This is the largest Reservation in the U. S.
and lies in Northeastern Arizona, extending slightly over the Utah
and New Mexico lines. The Navajos are known as the most thrifty and
industrious of all the tribes. They raise sheep and goat with most
of the wool being used in the making of blankets for which this
tribe is famous. Living in their native Hogans, there are close to
30,000 Navajos still in Arizona.
Perched on the lofty mesas, overlooking the Painted Desert, are
the sky-cities or pueblos of the Hopis. The sites of their
villages, high up on these table lands, are historically
attributable to their peace loving characters, for they sought
these inaccessible spots as a refuge from the Apaches, Navajos and
other marauding bands. The Hopi women make the finest pottery in
the Southwest, while the men weave blankets and sashes. There are
in the neighborhood of 2300 Hopis inhabiting these isolated
villages, in northern Arizona, from 90 to 125 miles from the
railroad.
In the rugged mountainous country of northwest Arizona are three
small reservations. Here dwell the remnants of the Kaibabs,
Havasupais and Walpai Indians, now about 710 persons. The Indians
of four tribes inhabit 1,275,000 acres embraced by the Salt River
and Gila River Reservations. The Pimas are the principal tribe,
with a population of over 5000, Papagos 1760, and some Apache and
Maricopas, making a total of 7258. Cattle and poultry are their
chief industry, and through irrigation of the desert country, they
raise some grain, a little wheat, some cotton and alfalfa.
The Papagos, or Desert Indians, stationed at San Xavier, number
about 4575. Cattle raising and some farming is their mode of
livelihood. Some 700 women are engaged in the art of basket making.
The Mojave and Chemihuevi tribes, total 1145 inhabitants, and are
found in Yma and Mojave counties, along the shores of the Colorado
River, where they are engaged in small farms. The women make
baskets and some beat work.
On the San Carlos and White River Reservations are the Tonto
Apaches, once the wildest and fiercest of Indian tribesmen, who
under the leadership of Cochise, Mangas Colorado and Geronimo were
ever waging warfare. The Reservation is 95 miles long and 70 miles
wide and contains 2,528,000 acres. Of late years, the Yaquis have
drifted into Arizona from Mexico.

THE COLUMBIA RIVER HIGHWAY has carved one of the world’s
most beautiful and majestic gorges through the heart of the Cascade
Mountains. Along the shore of the mighty river, mile upon mile hewn
from solid rock, is the greatest thoroughfare in the world, and
unrivaled scenic splendor awaits the traveler.
Lovely waterfalls by the score leap from the gorge’s
towering crags, falling hundred of feet into the river below. In
order that no picture might be lost and so that no part of its
marvelous scenic beauty would be marred, extreme care has been
exercised in the locating and designing of this Highway with its
many concrete walls, arches, bridges and viaducts. It is paved for
nearly 100 miles east of Portland to the Dalles and 120 miles west
of Portland to Seaside and winds from spectacular heights to the
river’s very edge. Along its course the river is joined by
rushing mountain torrents and gently rippling streams. At Crown
Point, where the Vista House has been erected as a memorial to
Oregon Pioneers, the Columbia River Highway is 850 feet from the
river and is one of the most magnificent view spots along the road.
In keeping with the natural beauty of the gorge are the roadside
inns and taverns, camping grounds and picnic spots; of these the
Columbia Gorge Hotel is one of the finest. Halfway up Mt. Hood is
famous Timberline Lodge, erected by the Federal Government at a
cost of $1,000.000.
Forty-two miles east of Portland on the Columbia River is the
famed Bonneville Dam, erected at a cost of $65,000,000 and was
completed in 1940. Here may be seen the salmon ladders (stairways
for fish); the world’s largest single lift ship lock; the
great lake and spectacular spillway where man has harnessed the
mighty Columbia’s power. Bonneville Dam’s ultimate
capacity of 518,000 kilowatts gives the Columbia Empire a vast
reservoir of power for a new era of industrial development.
The Mount Hood National Forest now extends all along the
Columbia River Highway, and so this virgin masterpiece of
Nature’s handiwork will be forever preserved for the people
in the care of Uncle Sam’s green-clad forest rangers.

STANLEY PARK was the first park acquired by the City in 1887.
Originally a Dominion Government military reserve, it opened in
1889 and was named for Lord Stanley, then Governor-General. It is
Vancouver’s chief natural attraction. Here, with emerald sea
surrounding, and outlook that combines towering mountains, city
sky-line, and entrancing sea-scapes, is a park of 1,000 acres, as
primeval in many ways as when Columbus crossed the Atlantic.
Tangled wildwood and forest are but a stone’s throw from
paved motor roads, while enticing trails lead to the inner
spaces.
The Zoo at the entrance contains representatives of many animal
tribes, and the large bear pit, with some very fine specimens. The
Harding Memorial, erected by the Kiwanis Clubs of Canada and the
United States, close to where the late president made his last
public address, speaks for itself, standing as it does for those
sentiments of international goodwill expressed by President
Harding, and inscribed on the monument. Close by the Lumbermens
Arch are the Indian Totem Poles which are generations old. They are
authentic specimens of the heraldry of a disappearing race, and
very rarely are found within such easy access. At Prospect Point
many entrancing views are had from the look-out point perched above
the water, while beyond is Siwash Rock, immortalized by Pauline
Johnson, Indian Poetess, in her translations of Indian lore. The
Seven Sisters, Douglas firs and the Lions Gate Bridge at Prospect
Point is the longest suspension bridge in the British Empire 1,500
feet.

INTERNATIONAL PEACE PARK, in the U. S. it is called Glacier Park
and in Canada it is called Waterton Lakes. But aside from a marker
alongside the new Chief Mountain Highway-and the offices of
the border officials-there is nothing to indicate when a
person is passing from one country into the other. The mountain
ranges sweep along in majestic grandeur regardless of whether they
are called the Canadian or the Montana Rockies. The two parks merge
into one great international playground-a monument to lasting
peace between neighbors.
The backbone hwy. is Going-to-the-Sun Hwy. traversing Glacier
Park. The connecting link with Waterton Lakes Park is the Chief
Mountain Hwy. Both roads were extremely difficult to construct.
Going-to-the-Sun Hwy., began in 1911 and completed in 1934, cost
$3,000,000 for 52 miles. Preliminary work was done by men dangling
from ropes along sheer rock walls. Sun hwy. crosses the Continental
Divide at Logan Pass. It reveals a gorgeous panorama of glaciers,
waterfalls, multi-colored mountains, green forests, alpine lakes.
Chief Mountain Hwy. was completed in 1936 after three years of
labor, 15 miles in Canada, 13 in the U. S. These scenic short-cuts
bring the Prince of Wales Hotel within 52 miles from Many-Glacier
Hotel, 85 miles from Lake McDonald Hotel, and 80 miles from Glacier
Park Hotel at the southeast entrance to International Peace Park,
on the Great Northern Railway main line where all trans-continental
Empire Builders stop.
