GRAF ZEPPELIN TO COME NORTH
 EARLY IN 1880
Will Come to. Alaska Next April, and Establish
 Base at Fairbanks

The Graf Zeppelin, giant dirigible now completing the last leg of it's first round the world cruise, will come to Alaska next April. It will make it's base at Fairbanks for a series of Arctic explorations which may extend over a period of two years.
 Work on mast and landing field will start in the near future. Capt. A. E. Lathrop of Fairbanks, will have charge of the Alaska end of preparations for tie big air li1sr.
 Says Is Assured
 Information to this effect was received late yesterday by Gov. George A. Parks and Maj. Malcolm Elliott, President of the Alaska Road Commission in a telegram from Ernest Walker Sawyer, Execu- tive Assistant to the Secretary of Interior, who visited Alaska last month and is now in Washington.
 At the time of his visit here, MT. Sawyer said that financial backing for the Graf zeppelin's exploration was assured A corporation, inter national in it's ramifications, had then been formed to put the expe- dition in the field and final plans were being made then. He said in his telegrams yesterday that it was now an assured undertaking
 While little is known about the purposes of the explorations, it is understood they will be mainly for scientific purposes, to study air con- ditions, barometric pressures, etc.
 Text of Telegram
 The telegrams to the Governor and Maj. Elliott said:
 T am assured that Capt. D E. Lathrop has been definitely ap- pointed to be aeronautic in charge of Alaska matters relative to the flights of the Zeppelin from Fair banks next April and has been au- thorized to proceed with the prepar- ations of the field at Fairbanks. Blue prints of the mast and field specifications have been forwarded Capt. Lathrop. I am also advised the flight is definitely assured and a representative of the Goodyear Zeppelin plant from Dayton, will soon join Capt. Lathrop. I hope that all organizations will cooper ate to make the flight success"
 Will Extend Aid
 Both Gov. Parks and Maj Elliott said every possible aid will be giv- en the expedition. The Alaska Road Commission, the latter an- nounced, will build road to the landing field and otherwise cooper ate in field construction in the same manner it co-operates with the Territory in similar projects.
 Gov. Parks expressed keen irl- terest relative to the objects to be accomplished.

Sequently became known as the Central
High School. and when that institution
moved on to its present magnificent
building the vacated structure became

who was not only willing to foster the

work with It and for it.
Only so rifles were available then and
the companies took turns learning the

cumbersome pieces. Only half of the
boys had uniforms that first year, too,
and after some drilling all the uni

That same first year the two pioneer

inaugural procession two years later.
Having braved the cold of the Nom

of the Cleveland Inauguration parade,
the cadets were convinced they could
stand anything in the way Of weather.
And so the corps in 1889 anticipated
keen pleasure in their scheduled march
In honor Of Benjamin Harrison, who be-
came President that March 4. And it
rained that day, rained incessantly and
to the excited cadets assembled in the
drill room Of the old high school the
drumming of the torrent sounded
pleasantly like the distant roll of
cannon.
But there were older and wiser heads
to rule that day. The late Dr. Francis

that day, either.

Forty-four years ahead of the white

School Cadets who marched their
tribute to Herbert Hoover today strobe
another troop of high school youths,
proud to pay martial homage to Grover
Cleveland, and distinguished as the first
high school cadets to have place in an

Those pioneer troopers marched down
the same Avenue which today's cadets
tread. They swung In review past
President Cleveland on to Seventeenth
street, and on into the parade of life
where they have become rich men and

ofncial invitation. Of veterans OF the
Confederate army. This marks the
first time the Federal Government has
ever extended an invitation to Confed-

veterans to participate in an inaugural
ceremony was accepted by me as COM

the intra national war Of 1361-1865, in
order that the whole country may be
one in spirit and purpose.
