For the most part Hollywood is a plain lying under high hills. Winding streets fringed with palm and pepper trees, and eucalyptus climb the sun browned hills. Farther down on the plain, older homes surrounded by spacious gardens are being pushed aside by huge apartment houses and hotels; Spanish castles and French Chateaux, vying with each other in luxury and magnificence. Many millions have been expended in architecturally beautiful buildings in the Film City.
Hollywood boulevard, only yesterday a village lane, is today a cosmopolitan thoroughfare thronging with traffic. For more than a mile along this street, height limit office buildings jostel huge department stores and smart exclusive shops. Walking along the Boulevard one catches glimpses of numerous famous faces. Hollywood is the amusement and shopping center for the entire surrounding territory.

Although the rise of Los Angeles was both recent and rapid, the city itself is as old as the republic. In 1871 the Spanish pueblo La Ciudad de Nuestra Senora la Reina de Los Angeles, The City of our Lady the Queen of the Angels was made a village by 144 colonists from Mexico. In half a century the sleepy little Spanish town increased its population to 770 inhabitants.
In 1880, the city had a population of only 11,093, but from that year rapid strides were made in all lines of development and by the last census in 1940, the population had reached approximately 1,500,000.
The people of Los Angeles represent the pioneers who left their homes in all parts of the country to become part of the fastest growing city in the world. The founders of Los Angeles brought experience gained in all parts of the earth.
The extraordinary development of Los Angeles harbor’s world trade has interested the maritime nations of the earth and all who follow the sea for a living. This admirable advance is due, primarily to the city’s location on one of the cross road points of the globe, with a magnificent tributary back country; and secondarily, to the co-operation and energy of Southern California communities. It belongs to all of them.
Nowhere in the world can be found the diversity of climate and scenery as in the vicinity of Los Angeles. In a few hours time a trip may be made from the beaches, where bathing is in progress, to the mountains, where all winter sports may be enjoyed. Swimming may be indulged in twelve months a year at a number of municipally owned beaches.
To the fisherman, the waters between Los Angeles and Catalina Island are a paradise, for in the Catalina Channel may be caught the giant sea bass, tuna, yellowtail and albacore. This channel is one of only two laces in the world where tuna are to be found. For those who prefer fresh water fishing, there are a number of mountain streams in the vicinity of Los Angeles, where trout abound. Fishing is one of the many sports that cen be pursued all year ‘round in Los Angeles.
In the mountains and foothills, a few miles from the city are hundreds of trails which lure hikers and mountain lovers. Many make it a practice to spend the Christmas holiday season in the snow that covers the landscape and lends an admirable setting to the celebrations usually given.
The visitor can reach within a short ride of Los Angeles, his favorite kind of scenery varying from the booming surf of the Pacific to the snow-clad peaks of the Sierras and picturesque desolation of the desert. Many miles of shore line offer surf bathing, motor boating, yachting and salt-water fishing the year around, while mountains with their miles of highways, trails and bridlepaths, invite alike the motorists, the hiker and the rider. Mountain camps are provided for the motorist, while numerous golf courses lure devotees of the green. Los Angeles is not only the climatic capital of the nation, but the year ‘round playground of millions.

The Mission is the shrine for thousands who desire to pay homage to one of the world’s greatest of missionary leaders. MISSION SAN ANTONIO DE PADUA was the third in the order of establishment, July 14th, 1771. It is the most isolated of all the Missions as it stands deserted and all but forgotten in a valley in the mountains about 25 miles southwest from King City. (Not pictured in this Folder).

MISSION NUESTRA SENORA DE LA SOLEDAD (Our Lady of Solitude) lies in ruins on a plain about four miles from the town of Soledad.

The old gardens are now an attractive city park, in which are preserved, in separate beds, examples of flowers and shrubs from all the other missions.

Pikes Peak, Sentinel of the Rocky Mountains, is America’s most famous mountain. It was the landmark of the pioneer and continues to be the magnet which attracts thousands of people to the Rocky Mountain region. It rises abruptly from the plains and its Summit towers more than tow thousand feet above its highest neighbor. There are no other peaks that approach its height within a radius of ninety miles.
Lieut. Zebulon Montgomery Pike was the discoverer of the famous mountain in November 1806, but never ascended to its Summit. Thirteen years later, Major Long and his exploration party found an easier approach and reached its top. Today thousands of visitors from all parts of the world ride in comfort to the top of this mountain, 14,110 feet above sea level.
The Summit is reached by the picturesque Pikes Peak Highway comprising eighteen miles of unexcelled scenic beauty. The grandeur of this road winding through the Pike National Forest, and climbing by easy grades to the very top of the world’s most famous peak, is beyond description.
From the Summit of Pikes Peak one has a wonderful panorama view in all directions. Sixty thousand square miles of Colorado are spread out before you. To the west and north, two hundred and fifty miles of the Continental Divide, a line of towering peaks clothed in perpetual snow; to the east is a vast ocean of plains, superb and placid, extending to the dim horizon. Colorado Springs, fourteen miles distant as the crow would fly, lies like a garden patch on border of the plains.
In the spring of the year, when the highway is first opened, cars often drive between banks of snow that are ten to twenty feet deep extending from timberline to the Summit, some six miles in distance. These huge snow banks disappear in summer but there are places on the mountain where snow is perpetual and it is not uncommon to experience a real snow storm on the Summit in midsummer.

Scenic Broadmoor-Cheyenne Mt. District, Colorado Springs: Broadmoor is a fine residence district at the foot of Cheyenne Mountain adjacent to Colorado Springs. In the midst of this district stands the Broadmoor Hotel lying in beautiful grounds at the edge of a lake.
The Broadmoor-Cheyenne Highway starts at the hotel, skirting the great golf-course, to reach the top of Cheyenne Mt., 9,500 feet high, in a series of scissor-like switchbacks up the face of the mountain. The road is a marvel of road construction blasted thru great slopes littered with boulders as large as a house, along the face of solid rock cliffs, and cut thru slopes where gashes forty of fifty feet deep had to be dug in the side of the mountain. At the top stands Cheyenne Lodge a charming place built in massive pueblo style of creamy stucco. From the Lodge one may look over the "Devil’s Horns," solid spurs of rock projecting up from the mountain, to obtain sweeping views of the plains below and the mountains all about. Although the road give the thrill of a lifetime in climbing the dizzy heights of the mountain, it is wide and secure, bordered by steel fences and thoroughly safe.
The Will Rogers Shrine of the Sun, a solid stone castle-like structure, high upon a promontory of Cheyenne Mt. was finished and dedicated in 1937. It captured the imagination and interest of the public as no other feature has for years. Here also are the ashes of Spencer Penrose, the builder of all these great features.
It is a perpetual memorial to the memory of the great humorist. Illuminated each night with a perpetual beacon burning in its spire, with chimes sounding each quarter hour. It is one of the most unusual memorials ever constructed.
The Zoo at the foot of the mountain with one of the greatest collection of wild animals in this country and the miniature cog railway from the Broadmoor to the Zoo are also unusual features.
North and South Cheyenne Cañons emerge from the mountains in the valley just behind the Broadmoor district and are two of the most remarkable and charming cañons in the Rockies.
South Cheyenne Cañon cannot be equaled for sheer depth and beauty with great walls of richly colored granite rising straight up from the narrow bottom. The Cañon terminates in the wonderful spectacle of Seven Falls where the dainty stream drops down an almost sheer cliff in seven beautiful falls.
North Cheyenne Cañon is longer than its sister to the south. It is a favorite outing spot and is part of the municipal park system. Several beautiful water falls occur in this Cañon of which Hellen Hunt Falls is the most noted. Close by these falls stands Bruin Inn, a picturesque mountain inn. From the upper part of North Cheyenne Cañon the High Drive leads over the hills to Bear Creek Cañon and back to the city in a circle trip.

Buffalo Bill: A Brief Biography of a Strenuous Life. William Frederick Cody was born in Scott County, Iowa, February 26th, 1846. His parents were Isaac and Mary Cody, descendants direct from Revolutionary patriots. In 1854 the Codys migrated to Salt Creek Valley, in Kansas, through which the famous Salt Creek Trail led the early pioneers toward the Pacific. It was here that life opened strenuously for young Will Cody, for the "Free Soilers" were making things lively in those parts, and Isaac Cody took an emphatic stand on the subject of anti-slavery. While still in his teens young Cody engaged as a "extra man" with Russell Majors & Waddell, and was in the saddle as part of the guard for one of their supply trains. He was next employed as a pony express rider for the same firm. As trapper and guide he next came into prominence. On the day of his mother’s funeral, he rode to Fort Leavenworth and enlisted in the U. S. Cavalry. This was November 22, 1863. As a member of the Seventh Kansas known as "Jennison’s Jayhawkers" he marched to Memphis and Shermans forces, and was assigned to special duty under General A. J. Smith. In the Campaign of the Seventh Kansas young Cody was first actively engaged in a battle,-Pilot Knob, September 24, 1864, against the Confederate General Price. Special duty engaged him until the war was over when he again returned to the plains. Driving the Overland Stage Coach between Fort Kearney and Plumb Creek, in Nebraska, was his first employment after he left the Army. Next he engaged in Scout duty, one of his assignments being guide to Custer long before the Big Horn catastrophe. Later he contracted with the promoters of the Kansas Pacific Railroad to supply their workmen with buffalo meat, and in this service he acquired the title of Buffalo Bill," having killed, in seven months, 4280 buffaloes. Scouting for General Sheridan was his next duty, and as bearer of dispatches between Fort Hayes and Dodge he created the unparalleled record of riding three hundred and fifty miles in sixty hours. He was then detailed to Fort Hayes and made Chief of Scouts, by Sheridan for the Fifth Cavalry, later being assigned to Gen. E. A. Carr’s command who made him Chief of Scouts. In June 1868, at the battle fo Summit Springs, he killed Chief Tall Bull and turned the scales of battle to complete victory. He was assigned as guide for General Sheridan and the Grand Duke Alexis on their grand Buffalo hunt, and served in various capacities when a horseman of experience was called into requisition. In 1872 he was elected to the Nebraska legislature and later received his title of Colonel of the State National Guard from the late Governor Thayer. During interims between scouting activities, Cody in 1872, made his debut as an actor in a border drama entitled "Scouts of the Plains," with successful results. The Indian uprising of Centennial year brought Buffalo Bill again into prairie activities and his service as Scout were again employed by General Carr with the Fifth Cavalry. While on the campaign which resulted in the death of Custer and, following the sad event, he came across Yellow Hand, who had detached himself from the other Indians for the purpose of disposing of "Pa-has-ka" as Cody was known to the Indians, and in the hand-to-hand combat that followed Yellow Hand was killed. The First Scalp for Custer. These known instances where Cody has disposed of Indians are cited to prove that never wantonly and without provocation has he taken life: there has always been ample cause and abundant necessity. In 1891 as Colonel of the Nebraska National Guard, under General Dolby, he did effective service during the Indian Ghost Dance War, and assisted materially in bringing about peace. He originated the Wild West Show, 1882, and with it toured the civilized world. He not only often achieved "Honorable Mention" but won that greatest prize to the soldier: "The Congressional Medal."
Mourned by millions he passed over the Great Divide, January 10, 1917. In the Rotunda of the Capitol Building of Colorado his body lay in State and Mayor Speer arranged, by deed from the City of Denver, that the remains of this great Western-American shall forever rest in the rocky fastness of Mount Lookout, overlooking the vast plains he helped to subdue and make habitable.
Sleep on old Pioneer! Under the aegis of the old flag, our hallowed Stars and Stripes, may he rest forever and a day. "Johnny" Baker.

A great eruption tore the top from Mount Mazama, once 12,000 feet high, to form beautiful Crater Lake, a thousand feet deep, 20 miles in circumference, its water formed from melted snow. Its beautiful rich blue is unique, and it is surrounded with multi-colored cliffs which rise from 500 to 2,000 feet above its rim. Stocked with rainbow trout, Crater Lake is a fisherman’s paradise. In Winter, snow falls to a depth of sixty to eighty feet, yet the Lake never freezes, but remains close to freezing the year round. Discovered less than 100 years ago, Crater Lake is a favorite spot for vacationers who love nature. Trails lead to high points on the rim, and to the shore. Launches and rowboats are present for fishing or scenic trips, and a good road presents many enthralling views of the lake.

conveyed the Arlington Tract about 1,100 acres to John Parke Custis, the consideration named being 1,100 pounds in Virginia currency.
John Parke Custis was the son of Martha Washington by her first marriage. He was aide-de-camp to Washington during the Revolution, and upon his death, November 5, 1781, of camp fever contracted at Yorktown, Washington adopted his two youngest children-George Washington Parke Custis and Eleanor Parke Custis.
George Washington Parke Custis, who inherited the Arlington Estate from his father, was a member of Washington’s family until the death of Washington in 1799, and soon after removed to Arlington where he resided until his death, October 10, 1857.
By his will, bearing date of March 26, 1855, he devised the "Arlington House Estate: to his daughter and only child. Mary Ann Randolph Lee, wife of Lieut. Col. Robert E. Lee, U. S. Army, for her use and benefit during her natural life, and on her death to his eldest grandson, George Washington Custis Lee, to him and his heirs forever.
By an executive order by the President of the United States dated January 6, 1864, the entire tract of 1,100 acres, more or less, was "selected for Government use for war, military, charitable, and educational purposes." under the provisions of the Acts of Congress of June 7, 1862, and February 6, 1863. By the same order it was directed that the property be sold to meet the payment of $91007, direct taxes due thereon. This was done January 11, 1864, and the property was bid in for the United States for the sum of $26,800.00. Mrs. Lee, having died in 1873, legal proceedings contesting the legality of the tax sale were instituted by George Washington Custis Lee, as heir under the will of his grandfather, George Washington Parke Custis. The cause was heard in the United States Circuit Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, and verdict rendered in his favor, which, upon appeal, was affirmed by the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, December 4, 1882.
Congress, by act of March 3, 1883, appropriated the sum of $150,000 for the purchase of this property and on March 31, 1883, George Washington Custis Lee conveyed to the United States by deed the title to the property in question for the sum appropriated.

"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God. I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death.

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK established on March 1, 1872 by an act of Congress of the United States of America, is mostly in northwestern Wyoming, but extends also into the states of Montana and Idaho. It was set apart not only to preserve the unique geysers, terraces, and other thermal features, but to protect the entire area and its wild life in order that people from all lands may benefit by seeing and enjoying its countless attractions. In its 3,471.51 square miles are large numbers of wild animals including bison, moose, wapiti, deer, pronghorns, and both grizzly and black bears, all living in their native environment. There are at least 10,000 separate and distinct thermal features of all kinds in the park.
Yellowstone Lake is about 20 miles long from north to south and is 14 miles across from West Thumb to the opposite shore of the lake. Its shoreline has been measured at more than 100 miles and its area computed at 139 square miles. The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone extends for 24 miles to the mouth of the Lamar River. It is from 800 to 1,200 feet in depth, the deepest part being east of Mt. Washburn. There are only two places below the Lower Falls in this vicinity where it is safe for human beings to climb down the canyon walls to the river-by Uncle Toms Trail and at the Seven Mile Hole, a fishing hole.

INDIANS OF THE WEST: Before the coming of the white man, the usual costume of an Indian man was a small skin attached to a belt. Later on decorated skin shirts for display on dress-up occasions became popular. Between 1650 and 1750 the Spaniards came from the south and brought the horse, probably then some of the Indians abandoned agriculture entirely and became nomadic hunters. This roving equestrian life seemed to engender a warlike spirit. It was not long before the western tribes, expanding their hunting territory, began to press back upon the more peaceful earth-lodge farmers, forcing them farther and farther toward the east.
Indians have always had a love of costume, colorful and ornate. In early days warriors bronzed and painted themselves and their ornamented weapons. Much care was given to dressing the hair, usually they arranged their locks in two braids, resting them across the shoulders. Weird and savage is the famous Apache "Devil Dance," once the most war-like of Indian tribes in the Southwest, the Apaches are slowly adapting civilization. An Indian Ceremonial Dance cannot be described, they must be seen. The dancing is violent with primitive intensity and earnestness; the singing emphatic and meaningful, calling upon the Unseen; the costuming audacious, prompted by innate artistic fearlessness. The whole is an emotional orgy, drawing out an elemental response from its audience, stimulating and in explainable.
Women were literally the homemakers among the American Indian tribes. They made, erected and transported the tepee. The tepee was considered to be her property. Today’s Indian women are artists in various types of handicraft. We see women weaving baskets; men and women weaving blankets-the Hopi man, the Navajo woman; silversmiths, sitting on the floor tapping out their ware from Mexican pesos, which are practically sterling. The more northerly and easterly Shoshoni were horse and buffalo Indians, and in character compared favorably with most western tribes.

INDIAN LIFE IN ARIZONA: The southwest enchanted land, comprising Arizona and New Mexico, is probably the oldest region in the United States. Before the coming of the Spaniards in 1540, doubtless thousand years before, populous Indian Pueblos overflowed the valley and topped the heights. The Indian Pueblo exists today, peopled by a brown race whose ancestors lived in the same place for centuries. Here and there are ruins of some prehistoric pueblo or cliff dwelling. All these tribes are civilized and many are educated, and even earn a living from flocks and herds or by cultivating the soil. Various crafts, such as blanket weaving, basketry, making of pottery, bead-work, and silverwork, are an important part of their livelihood.
The Navajos or Desert Nomads wander over sections of three states, embracing an area from 20,000 to 25,000 square miles, larger than Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and New Hampshire combined. This is the largest Reservation in the U. S. and lies in Northeastern Arizona, extending slightly over the Utah and New Mexico lines. The Navajos are known as the most thrifty and industrious of all the tribes. They raise sheep and goat with most of the wool being used in the making of blankets for which this tribe is famous. Living in their native Hogans, there are close to 30,000 Navajos still in Arizona.
Perched on the lofty mesas, overlooking the Painted Desert, are the sky-cities or pueblos of the Hopis. The sites of their villages, high up on these table lands, are historically attributable to their peace loving characters, for they sought these inaccessible spots as a refuge from the Apaches, Navajos and other marauding bands. The Hopi women make the finest pottery in the Southwest, while the men weave blankets and sashes. There are in the neighborhood of 2300 Hopis inhabiting these isolated villages, in northern Arizona, from 90 to 125 miles from the railroad.
In the rugged mountainous country of northwest Arizona are three small reservations. Here dwell the remnants of the Kaibabs, Havasupais and Walpai Indians, now about 710 persons. The Indians of four tribes inhabit 1,275,000 acres embraced by the Salt River and Gila River Reservations. The Pimas are the principal tribe, with a population of over 5000, Papagos 1760, and some Apache and Maricopas, making a total of 7258. Cattle and poultry are their chief industry, and through irrigation of the desert country, they raise some grain, a little wheat, some cotton and alfalfa.
The Papagos, or Desert Indians, stationed at San Xavier, number about 4575. Cattle raising and some farming is their mode of livelihood. Some 700 women are engaged in the art of basket making. The Mojave and Chemihuevi tribes, total 1145 inhabitants, and are found in Yma and Mojave counties, along the shores of the Colorado River, where they are engaged in small farms. The women make baskets and some beat work.
On the San Carlos and White River Reservations are the Tonto Apaches, once the wildest and fiercest of Indian tribesmen, who under the leadership of Cochise, Mangas Colorado and Geronimo were ever waging warfare. The Reservation is 95 miles long and 70 miles wide and contains 2,528,000 acres. Of late years, the Yaquis have drifted into Arizona from Mexico.

THE COLUMBIA RIVER HIGHWAY has carved one of the world’s most beautiful and majestic gorges through the heart of the Cascade Mountains. Along the shore of the mighty river, mile upon mile hewn from solid rock, is the greatest thoroughfare in the world, and unrivaled scenic splendor awaits the traveler.
Lovely waterfalls by the score leap from the gorge’s towering crags, falling hundred of feet into the river below. In order that no picture might be lost and so that no part of its marvelous scenic beauty would be marred, extreme care has been exercised in the locating and designing of this Highway with its many concrete walls, arches, bridges and viaducts. It is paved for nearly 100 miles east of Portland to the Dalles and 120 miles west of Portland to Seaside and winds from spectacular heights to the river’s very edge. Along its course the river is joined by rushing mountain torrents and gently rippling streams. At Crown Point, where the Vista House has been erected as a memorial to Oregon Pioneers, the Columbia River Highway is 850 feet from the river and is one of the most magnificent view spots along the road. In keeping with the natural beauty of the gorge are the roadside inns and taverns, camping grounds and picnic spots; of these the Columbia Gorge Hotel is one of the finest. Halfway up Mt. Hood is famous Timberline Lodge, erected by the Federal Government at a cost of $1,000.000.
Forty-two miles east of Portland on the Columbia River is the famed Bonneville Dam, erected at a cost of $65,000,000 and was completed in 1940. Here may be seen the salmon ladders (stairways for fish); the world’s largest single lift ship lock; the great lake and spectacular spillway where man has harnessed the mighty Columbia’s power. Bonneville Dam’s ultimate capacity of 518,000 kilowatts gives the Columbia Empire a vast reservoir of power for a new era of industrial development.
The Mount Hood National Forest now extends all along the Columbia River Highway, and so this virgin masterpiece of Nature’s handiwork will be forever preserved for the people in the care of Uncle Sam’s green-clad forest rangers.

STANLEY PARK was the first park acquired by the City in 1887. Originally a Dominion Government military reserve, it opened in 1889 and was named for Lord Stanley, then Governor-General. It is Vancouver’s chief natural attraction. Here, with emerald sea surrounding, and outlook that combines towering mountains, city sky-line, and entrancing sea-scapes, is a park of 1,000 acres, as primeval in many ways as when Columbus crossed the Atlantic. Tangled wildwood and forest are but a stone’s throw from paved motor roads, while enticing trails lead to the inner spaces.
The Zoo at the entrance contains representatives of many animal tribes, and the large bear pit, with some very fine specimens. The Harding Memorial, erected by the Kiwanis Clubs of Canada and the United States, close to where the late president made his last public address, speaks for itself, standing as it does for those sentiments of international goodwill expressed by President Harding, and inscribed on the monument. Close by the Lumbermens Arch are the Indian Totem Poles which are generations old. They are authentic specimens of the heraldry of a disappearing race, and very rarely are found within such easy access. At Prospect Point many entrancing views are had from the look-out point perched above the water, while beyond is Siwash Rock, immortalized by Pauline Johnson, Indian Poetess, in her translations of Indian lore. The Seven Sisters, Douglas firs and the Lions Gate Bridge at Prospect Point is the longest suspension bridge in the British Empire 1,500 feet.

INTERNATIONAL PEACE PARK, in the U. S. it is called Glacier Park and in Canada it is called Waterton Lakes. But aside from a marker alongside the new Chief Mountain Highway-and the offices of the border officials-there is nothing to indicate when a person is passing from one country into the other. The mountain ranges sweep along in majestic grandeur regardless of whether they are called the Canadian or the Montana Rockies. The two parks merge into one great international playground-a monument to lasting peace between neighbors.
The backbone hwy. is Going-to-the-Sun Hwy. traversing Glacier Park. The connecting link with Waterton Lakes Park is the Chief Mountain Hwy. Both roads were extremely difficult to construct. Going-to-the-Sun Hwy., began in 1911 and completed in 1934, cost $3,000,000 for 52 miles. Preliminary work was done by men dangling from ropes along sheer rock walls. Sun hwy. crosses the Continental Divide at Logan Pass. It reveals a gorgeous panorama of glaciers, waterfalls, multi-colored mountains, green forests, alpine lakes. Chief Mountain Hwy. was completed in 1936 after three years of labor, 15 miles in Canada, 13 in the U. S. These scenic short-cuts bring the Prince of Wales Hotel within 52 miles from Many-Glacier Hotel, 85 miles from Lake McDonald Hotel, and 80 miles from Glacier Park Hotel at the southeast entrance to International Peace Park, on the Great Northern Railway main line where all trans-continental Empire Builders stop.
