LARSONS ARE HOME FROM ALASKIAN TRIP also refers with enthusiasm to their trip through the great redwood forâ€" est between San Francisco and Eurâ€" eaka, Calif. . These gaint redwoods, he says, are the oldest living things on earth and stand so thick that it is difficult to imagine how they obâ€" tain sufficient moisture and sustenâ€" ance to maintain their tremendous size, some of them being much thicker through than the length of his big Lincoln, and of great height. The steamer trip north was broken by stops at Ketchikan, Juneau and Cordova, Alaska, and they landed at Valdez with their car to meet Ray Larson, who came from Anchorage to join them, having shipped his car from Anchorage to Fairbanks by rail and from there drove 375 miles to Valdez. Alaskan Trip The party left the coast at Valdez in the two cars on July 9 over the Richardson highway, a fairly good gravel road, going to Willow Creek, thence southeast to Chitna and then northerly to Fairbanks, 475 miles in all. At Fairbanks the temperature was 92 July 12, but the nights were cool. They stopped in Fairbanks a couple of days, and then took the Steese highway to Circle City, 170 miles away on the great Yukon river, and among the many good photoâ€" graphs Mr. Largon brought back is one of their car standing on the shore of the river at Circle. They stopped there three days, visiting the hot springs, which are a feature of that region, and then returned to Fairâ€" banks. â€" From there they shipped their cars to Anchorage, as there is no highway in that direction and they traveled on the Alaska government railroad.. At Anchorage they visitâ€" ed about a week and then took the railroad out to Seward the seaboard terminus of the railroad, which exâ€" tends from there to Fairbanks, a disâ€" tance of about 440 miles. At Seaâ€" ward they again boarded the boat for Seattle. Thursday, Sept. 4, 1930 Trains Stop at Night Because of the scenic value of the trip from Seward to Fairbanks the trains on the railroad do not run at night, Mr. Larson, explains, and a fine hotel is maintained at Curry, about halfâ€"way, where passengers stay over night. Along the few auto highways there are also good inns or roadhouses, and at some of them Mr. Larson met old friends of his goldâ€" mining days. # While in Seattle Mr. Larson met the publisher of the Alaska News, a newspaper printed in that city for circulation in Alaska, and a recent issue of that paper contains an exâ€" tended account of his visit to the old scenes in Alaska and recounts some of his experiences in the goldâ€"rush days. + Mr. and Mrs. Larson returned to Highland Park August 10, They have many pictures and an unlimited fund of stories of their experiences that their friends find absorbingly interâ€" esting, and Mr. Larson‘s reminisâ€" cences of his experiences in Alaska in the pioneer days are especially flluminating.
