The party had left Astoria, Ore, May 20 and when they docked at the Benton} Packet company landing near the filtration plant, 1,500 miles of their transcontinental trip had been} chalked off. In the party was John Edwin Hoag, skipper and promoter of the unique trip. He is a writer and novelist of Los Angeles. Frank Wilton, master of the cameras, is looking after the| filming of the adventures. He is a well known figure in the Hollywood studios and an admirer of Bill Hart, Tom Mix and the other western! types. Bringing up the rear was Val Woodbury, a Los Angeles business man, with a coat of tan and a hide impervious to the flea, the woodtick or the mosquito. He is out just for a lark, while the other two are on definite assignments, Take Pivtures Here Getting in touch with The Tribune upon arrival, they were piloted to the different points of interest about Bismarck and Mandan. They were interested chiefly in Le and Clark lore and several “shots” of Sakakewea on the Capitol grounds and Roosevelt's cabin. Lewis Cra ford, of the historical society, was! | visited and Joseph Devine, immigra- tion officer, told them of his trip through the Bad Lands and exhibit- ed a fine collection of pictu touching on the region which it is hoped to set aside as a Roosevelt National Park. Capt. 1. P.. Baker, cne of the best informed men upon the Missouri river and the Slope sections, also conferred with the navigators, i The trip is.being made-in a motor boat 18 feet long with five feet of; beam ‘and is four and one-half feet deep at bow. It is built along the general lines of a life boat. At night when no hotel accommodations are available the men camp out. They have a complete outfit, air! mattresses, cooking utensils and a radio to keep in touch with the world. The boat is being driven by two four-horse Evenrude outboard motors. They hang over the stern of the boat. It is hoped to make the entire trip] to New York without resorting to railroads. Only 400 miles, and that over the Continental Divide, were made by train, Party Leaves Tomorrow The party leaves Tuesday morn- ing. They planned stopping a few hours at Fort Yates to confer with some of the Indians and probably get some “shots” of Red Tomahawk and other outstanding types of the Standing Rock reservation. When they reach St. Louis, the boat will be “nosed” up the Missis- sippi to the Illinois river as far as La Salle; Ill, and thence over the canal route into Lake Michigan. Hugging the shore of Lake Michigan they will go through the Mackinac straits into Lake Huron, following the Canadian side of the lake into the southern end of Jordan Bay and on to Port Severn, Ont. There .the party will take to the Trent Water- ways, a system of natural rivers and lakes, reaching, finally, Lake Ontario, and then on to the St. Lawrence river, Richelieu river and Lake Champlain. It will be a simple journey then by canal to the Hud- son river and on to the objective, New York City. * Not an unimportant member of the party is the bull pup Spywapato. That name was fastened on him to- gether with a collar by the women of Astoria, Ore. According to Hoag, Spywapato is the Indian name of a tuber which furnished valuable food for the Lewis and Clark expedition when food stores were very low. Second Stop in State Bismarck was the second stop in North Dakota for the party. Williston two days were spent. The Commercial Club of that city took the party in charge and some feet of films. were made. The business, men staged a coyote hunt and Wilton filmed it.‘ The picture probably will be shown before societies and prob- ably in theatres over the nation. Unless the party runs into a bad spell of-luck, they hope to reach the bright lights of Bréadway sometime in September. They found naviga- tion of the Missouri rather hard, as they encountered many sandbars. It is cheaper per mile to go by water than automobile, but when time is taken into consideration, the cost of the trip will be more. They found the Missouri very low at Fort Benton with just enough water to get down. The Yellowstone river’they found at flood stage. The average speed is 15 miles an hour and the daily run is between 100 and 150 mil It is es- timated that when the-final log is written off, the little craft will have gone 5,000 miles over the various waterways system of the nation. After New Data Mr. Hoag hopes to secure valuable data for a new bookjand material for lectures before geographic societies and scientific. bodies. He has been an associate editor of the Popular Science Monthly ‘and has been with a number of daily newspapers in the west and the middle west. During the war-he served as an aviator and has taken several trips with the United States navy as a press ob- server. “Frankie” Wilton, the movie “shooter,” has spent several months in Africa chasing interesting views and has done considerable work with ene First National, movie corpora- ion. 5 \ ‘The party was enthusiastic over the scenic beauty around Bismarck and especially the view dver the Missouri river.
