It took! almost six months to gather the news, she said. Indian runners were used to collect items from all the towns in the area. A modern touch to the gather ings of the convention was offered by Verne Gorst, one of, the fitst pilots to take airplanes into the Alaska area. He also demonstrated that he is no "cheechako" when it comes to flipping flapjacks. After their rollicking four day convention, the sourdoughs are headed back to homes, by plane, train, car and house trailer.

At the convention, more than 400 former residents of the Alaska and Yukon areas registered, including a sprinkling of Canadians and some members of the younger generations i AUGUST 19, 1946 to serve the California Department during the 1948-47 year were unopposed, with Richard Chamberlain, chief reputy district attorney or Alameda county, up lor commander.

19. Fire of undetermined origin yesterday did $6000 damage to the home of R. A. Iceland, at 23 South Trail. No one was in the house at the time the fire broke out and it had a 20-minute start before neighbbors discovered the flames and called the fire department.

Fireman Robert Patton, 22, of 21 El Patio, hurt his foot when he stepped on a spike and cut his hand while fighting the blaze. He was treated by a private physician and sent home. Texas' Nazis GREYBULL, Wyo. (U.PJ Infiltrating German paratroopers dressed in American uniforms and speaking in what he as Texas drawls or Bowery accents, was one of the harrowing experiences the outfit of the Rev. Frank Schweis-sing, discharged Army chaplain, had to face in the wan Many American lives were lost, he says, because it was impossible to iden- I tify the Germans.

He didn't win any of the prizes but almost brought down the house with the jig that accompanied his flip-flopping. 'SOURDOUGHS' FLIP FLAPJACKS ONCE MORE AT OAKLAND PICNIC. WINDING UP THEIR REUNION es a yardstick for meas uriiig these waves of interest For a time during the war years, interest focused on shipbuilding. Further back, during the depression, the trend was in the direction of economics, indicating a collective search for the basic causes of the world-wide slump; Today the dominant trend is toward re-employment.

This current reading trend, or wave of interest, is Inspired by post-war conversion to new businesses, and the finding of riew jobs- Much of this'reading is also result of a desire on the to "brush up on details of the work, or familiarize themselves with nevi developments. Miss Mabel Thomas, assistant li- uiafMMl BUU liucx icici cute iiuia- at the main library, 14th and Grove Streets, informs me that the library, early last year, got out a 13-page list of references which has proved a great boon to operators of small i businesses. The number of small businesses has increased, to Such extent that a reference list of more than 30 pages could now be made. LOCAL "RECORDS Ta-library staff is doing all it can preserve local records and index -theni to make the history of Oakland more readily accessible. At present a selective index of newspaper stories of general importance is being made, but the staff hopes eventually" to have a complete index.

The Jibrary also maintains an extensive Slipping file of the newspapers. This service derives ifrjmportance from-the fact that so many persons go to the library to legal or jjerso'ral matters, as well as those of 'historical importance. Miss Thomas points out that in many casesihe old newspaper files are, the only possible source for the information and that without an in- -i i i i be necessary. Bid TASK AHEAD Sbihopes to see" the time when newspaper files will not only be completely indexed, a task that was started several years ago, but will be- microfilmed as well As io the library's-part in pre-serving the records and making them easy of access, she considers that is the business of the city library to serve as a local historical 'society The staff is now making an index of Haleys History of Alameda' County, published in 1876. This index' has almost reached the stage where Ut is ready for final typing.

Among the histories that have been indexed is the Frank C. Merritt history? of Alameda County. and book systems of indexing Many of tbe index fcatds now used by the library run the inch instead of 100 to thj. nch. This makes it possible to economize on space.

The Sunny Street The street of Camino del Monte Sol in Santa Fe. N.M., takes its name from a conical hill earby called "Monte SoL" It was so named because the first and last rays of the sun are cast upon itt AO i You "cheechakos" can use some of that new-fangled prepared flour if you wish, but you won't get that real "sourdough'' touch to a flap- 'jack without some bacon grease in the skillet And a "cheechako" Far North lingo meaning "tenderfoot" can never graduate to a real "sourdough" without lots of practice over an open fire while spending a long Winter in the Yukon Valley. There were lots of real "soor-doughs" in Oakland, yesterday, and many of them tried their hand at iiip-iiopping a flapjack over an open fire at the Lake Temescal picnic grounds. The occasion was the final event of the Golden Jubilee Stampede of 'the Internationtl Sourdoughs Re- union, a four-day celebration in San Francisco and Oakland. ROUGH TECHNIQUE techniques exniouea the contest could never be used in a podern kitchen.

The stove and ceilings would never stand the wear and tear. When the smoke from flapjacks'? that landed in the fire instead of the pan had cleared away, an experienced jury, selected H. A. (Bud) Moore of San Francisco as the champion. He already has received a number of challenges for next year's contest, Second prize went to Ringwald Blix of Seattle and third to Fred Walford of Sanf Francisco.

Carl Larson of Los Angeles, who carried' off the "booby" prize, was the envy of some of the cash winners his prize was a bottle of hard-to-get Scotch, a prime favorite with veteran sourdoughs. L.A. WOMAN WINNER For the women, it was Mrs. Anna Horner, also of Los Angeles, who was declared the winner, The aroma of freshly brewed cof fee and the flip-flopping flapjacks brought back memories to all -of those present of the days and nights or gold-seeking in the Northern wastelands. Manuel Gularte, 73.

of Irvington, who got his first elimnse of the North county in 1894, revealed that he plans another trip there next year if he can "find some young man who will do half of the driving." Gularte lived for many years in I Circle, where he operated a hotel. He also had a trading business and traveled throughout most of the gold mining areas of the Klondike and Yukon. But men were not the only pioneers to set foot in and help develop the gold mining areas of the far Northwest. Their women went right along with them. FIRST WOMAN OVER PASS The first white woman to make the trip over famed Chilcoot Pass from the Yukon was present at the reunion to help re-live some of the memories of those rugged days in the North.

She is Mrs. Emilie Lagrois, now 76, who went to the Yukon Territory Jn March, 1894, just four months after she was married to her first husband, the late Jack Trembley. They made the trip from their home in Cohoes, N.Y. Arriving on the banks of the Yukon, the Trembleys set about building their own' boat, in Which they made the 'trip down the river, drifting with the current after, the ice broke up in the spring of-1894. It was after this boat trio that she accompanied her husband over Chilcoot, a feat unheard of in those days.

Mrs. Lagrois still makes her home in Dawson and wants it clearly uh- derstood that that city is in the Yukon Territory. SOME OLD TIMES Over on a rock ledge sat Skiff Mitchell, who first made his appearance in Alaska in 1888; Jim McNeil, 1894; Henry 1888, and George C. Friend, 1890. They were regaling young Larry Biggs, 5, of 707 Brookwood Road, Oakland, with stories that almost made his eyes pop.

And there, were hundreds of other stories drifting round the picnic area, including those by Mrs: Margaret Bettles Golder, 890 Collier Drive, San Leandro. She was born in Tanana, a com munity named by her father, the late Gordon Bettles. Bettles ar lived in the Alaska area prior to 1886 and his name, which was known the length and breadth of the min ing country, is perpetuated in a town, by that name. Mrs. Golder helped pioneer some of the territory herself.

She ac- theater roof collapsed, but no one was injured.1 i Elsewhere in the town, about 25 persons were injured.
