 From Trip To Chicago

 The Hall of Science at the fair was by far the most interesting eX- hibition he had ever seen.
 T spent eight days at the fair. !" Mr. Johnon said, And most of this time was devoted to the Hall of Science. Don't expect me to tell you half of the things I saw. One could spend weks there and still find something new and interesting"
 Leaving the Fair Johnson visited friends in the vicinity of Manistee, Michigan, whom he had not seen for 35 years Orchards dot the landscape where once large stands of timber stood. He travelled by bus and train through this district.
 T heard much talk about theI NRA on the trains. Many people be- lieye President Roosevelt's program is a failure They all want it to succeed but it seems to me that very few are making any. effort to make it a success. There is lot of "chiseling'' going on. I met linotype operator who said he was working for the same wages today that he earned as an apprentice in 1912"
 Returning to the coast, Johnson travelled by airplane from San Fran cisco to Los Angeles. where he spent two days motoring through the country. a guest of R H. Jeffries.

and runs directly eward the noun tain for several h ndred feet, then turns along the si1a hill. In order to afford a firm roadbed for trucks, nearly all of the road has been corduroyed and five puncheon bridges built. When the bridges and grade work is finished, the entire road, with the exception of the bridges, will be graveled. Narrow tributary roads for sledding wood out on the snow lead off from either side.
 The road is being built with an eve to future needs. according to Foreman Close. Although there is sufficient timber handy to the new road to aceomodate wood cutters of Wrangell for several seasons. slight extensions of the work will open up new tracts of equally good trees. The road is so situated that many of the logs can be skidded down from the side hill.
 The boys are pleased with their new quarters, Close said. The scow house in which they lived during the summer was ample for that sea- son of the year. but with the advent of cold weather. and the prospect of southeast gales, new accommodations were necessary. The Wheeler resi- dence, which has recently been wired and piped for running water, is handy to their present work, and the big fireplace has a strong att traction for the lads. They have a radio which they keep going.
 Bill Perkins, old time Alaskan chef, is responsible for the cuisine.
