Los Angeles airway, made a land
ing on the Las Vegas airfield
Wednesday morning at 1880, re-

the Grand Canyon and other west

chief engineer OF the Ford plant;
Edward B. Hamilton. superintend.

It is builL OF duraluminium, a
white metal which glitters like
silver in the sun. The wing
spread is 20 fest and the plane

The ship was at first expected
in Las Vegas Tuesday afternoon,
but word came to Manager

The ship had no trouble in max
ing a landing on the local field
and the take-off was perfect.

A number of Las Vegas people
were at The field to welcome the
