New Orleans Opens
Big Amusement Park

NEW ORLEANS, La, july IA
large amusement park has lust been
opened in New Orleans in coniunc-
ton with the lake shore develop
ment project along the border of
Lake Pontchartrain.
A concrete drive, closed to traffic
throughout the summer season, sep
arates the sandy Ponchartrain
beach from the amusement park,
whose midway is $500 feet long.
The beach offers swimming facil-
tiles at no cost to bathers. SWIM
ming is permitted, under the SUPER
vision of lifeguards watching from
special towers, from early morning
until midnight.
Most popular attraction of the
amusement park is a zephyr" a
streamlined, speedier version of the
scenic railway" or wildcat" This
has 80-foot dips, $500 feet of tracks
and is distinguished by the fact that
instead of slowing down at the end
OF the ride it finishes it's course at
a speed OF more than 80 miles an
hour. Specially designed rails and
wheels were designed to promote
safety. The usual amusement park
features also are represented.
Special attraction is the old fash
Toned penny arcade" which the
parks manager has filled with old
and new "drop-a-penny- take-a-
look" machines.
All main buildings at the new
beach are unconditional,
Landscaping of the park is es-
pecially attractive, in that the Span
ish or Latin American motif has
been carried out in the Spanish gar
dens, gathering place where SWIM
mers and fun-seekers may relax,
while an orchestra, under the direc-
ton Of Don Di Sandi of Madrid,
presents programs Of Spanish music.

The towering walls which inclose

cries of vacationists as they shoot
the roaring rapids in sturdy boats
manned by trained North Country
boatmen.
A mile and a half long, Au Sable
Chasrn offers a succession of gorges
caves, waterfalls and great cliffs
reaching up toward the sky whose
origin has for over a century con-
founded biologists and others who
have studied its strange sandstone
formations.
The chasm is IL miles south Of

In conclusion, if you are wavering
between one of the two expositions
at the opposite ends of the United
States this summer, consider this
carefully:
New York's exposition is larger
and located In the wonder city of
the world.
San Francisco has the unsur-
passed weather and natural beau
ties Of California in addition to her
fair and the scenery of the West
en- route.
IL your cholce is San Francisco
choose your route to take in at least
one of the national parks of the
West. There is much more to be
seen en- route via motor with short
side trips. The railroad route is
stressed in this article because they
wished to display their facilities
and frankly because the writer pre-
fers air. conditioned comfort in some
of the wide open spaces of Iowa,
Nebraska, Utah and Nevada.
In articles to follow will be de-
scribed the Roaring Camp, Sacra-
mento's Golden Empire Centennial,
one OF the most unusual shows of
the year, and a side trip through
the Rocky Mountain National Park,
scenic wonder of Colorado.

Tenderfoot Trips
Arranged 10 Wild
Western Country
Spectacular Beauty
Around Sun Valley
Tapped by Routes

SUN VALLEY, Idaho, July L.
Tenderfeet will get a break at Sun
Valley this summer.
Guides at Sun Valley have found
three easy and short trips, one by
water, which put sportsmen into
country representative Of the very
heart of the. frontier, yet require
neither extensive time nor rough
travel.
For those who have a taste for
high Alpine country and rock-ribbed
pinnacles that raise their majestic
heads above the clouds, there is the
pioneer cabin loop. An overnight
outing, requiring but a scant S
miles of saddle travel each way with
a cozy cabin perched on a 10000
foot ledge at the trails end, 1t puts
explorers in land entirely apart
from civilization.
Bunks in Cabins.
Cowboy guides handle everything
including the cooking during the
stay at the hut. The cabin contains
eight restful hunks built after the
style of Pullman berths. All other
furnishings are as rough-and-ready
as any prospector's shack found in
the Idaho back country.
Those who prefer high mountain
meadows, studded with jewel
lakes and crystal streams, will relish
the Smoky Summit trip. An hour
and half pleasant riding up Prairie
Creeks lush canyon puts the party
on azure Prairie Lake, named, ap-
parently, by some old timer with a
quaint sense of paradox, for Prairie
Lake Is surrounded on three sides
by sharp rocky ridges crowned by
Silver Tip, a peak which reaches
almost 1000 feet. Fishing is fast
and furious and sizzling rainbow
trout, Drowned in bacon fat, will
certainly be the entree for the
nights supper in front of the spa
cious tent camp which remains per-
manently pitched there all season.
This expedition will be in charge of
Mike Finch, native Sawtooth Range
rider, whose yarns are as tall as
he is.
On this trip, as in both the other
"overnighters,' the party will sleep
in comfortable sleeping bags equip
ped with air mattresses, and eat food
which, while hearty. is as we'll bal
anced as they could procure from
their own larders.
One HOrSeleSS Trim
For those who love the West but
have absolutely no use for horses,
even in small doses, the last wilder
ness trek offered by the Sun Valley
mountain guides will be a welcome
dish. This is a boat voyage up the
Emile length of Reddish Lake. queen
of all Western mountain waters,
topped off by short hike to camp
in Reddish Canyon, hemmed in by
sheer granite walls. The canyon
floor is of unbelievable beauty, tim
bered with stately spruce and
Douglas fir, dotted with lily ponds
and bisected by snow-fed Reddish
Brook. fine trout stream. The
permanent camp for this one-night
trip is pitched near a waterfall as
lovely as brides veil. The walls
OF the gorge on the north reach
almost 1000 feet and their pre-
cipitous faces offer some of the most
thrilling rock climbing on this con-
tinent.
For harder visitors there are still
the Sun Valley saddle and pack ex-
petitions, lasting from four days to
two weeks, and reaching into the
primitive Middle Fork, He'll Roaring,
White Cloud and Smoky areas.

as guests of the Burlington Rail-

through train from Chicago to San

created by thousands of the new

feature of the whole exposition.
The fair is taking on new life
under the guidance of Managing
Director Charles H. Strub, who as
sumed command last week. Frankly
the attendance to date has been
disappointing and the campaign to
draw tourists henceforth will be a
combination of selling the scenery

beauty, matchless floral display and
exhibition of the products of the

Prices Lower.
Once you reach San Francisco,
prices generally are under New York.
Menus of the restaurants provided
excellent food, although cheaper.
Admission prices to the Midway at
fractions were lower. There is more
of the vacation spirit on the island
and less jam. San Francisco would
like to see larger crowds, and hopes
to draw the thousands who annually
visit the national parks of the West.

says hotel and auto court accom-

and $3.50 per couple. Rooms in pri-

XochimiIco Remains
Scenic Wonder

MEXICO CITY, July 1.-Travel-
ers in Mexico will find the gardens
of Xochimilco one of the scenic
wonders of the modern world. The
gardens were designed and carried
out by Aztec engineers long before
the Spanish conquest. Originally
the flowers were planted on little
floating islands which moved slowly
about the great lagoon. With the
passage OF time. however, the islands
anchored themselves so that now
they present a labyrinth of spec
tacular color. Pansies, violets. car
nations, lilies and flowers of all
kinds blossom there in an atmos-
phere which is charged with their
perfume.

KEY WEST TRIP
GIVES OVERSEE
RIDE ON TRAIN
Fast Orange Blossom
Free of Vibration

KEY WEST. Fla, Jan. 1.-Two
travel thrills have just been added
to the Florida visitors memory
book-the excitement of riding
all day long at from so to rs miles
an hour behind the Seaboard
Railways new 6.000-horsepower
diesel locomotive and the thrill Of
the overseas highway trip from
Miami to Key West.
Leaving New York, the all
electric Orange Blossom Special
runs on time for the entire dis
tance to Miami, starting and stop
ping without any jerks or vibra-
ton: getting up a 60-mile-an-hour
speed two minutes after starting.
Meals may be eaten in the dining
car without even the ice tinkling

FOUR HOURS TO KEY WEST
From Miami it is a four-hour
ride to Key West, but the time
flies for there is so much to see
the spot where the World War
veterans were killed during the
1885 hurricane the monument
to their memory houses built
six feet above the ground to pro-
tect the inhabitants from future
hurricanes.
Key West itself houses
boarded up and shuttered, for the
Spanish people rarely come out
during the light of day. But when
night falls! All, then fun is ram
pant. Called "Cay Hueso" by the
Spanish, Key West is one Of the
most picturesque cities in North
America.
HISTORIC CITY
It was from here that the battle
ship Maine sailed for Havana on
its last voyage.
The establishment of the terri
torial government in Florida in
March, 1919, was the start of the
actual development of Key West.
Families from South Carolina
and other States came here and on
February Z. 1922, the United
States took possession of the
island as part of the territory
ceded by Spain. The Stars and
Stripes were hoisted on the follow
ing March Is.

 The theory of robbery, reported when Erickson was found to have but few cents on his person, was discounted when the remainder of his pay check, cashed the day of his death, was found in a tin box at his cabin along with stocks and bonds and stack of money order receipts which showed he had been sending considerable money back to Swedish relatives.
