FIELD. FAIRBANKS
GROUND IS ACQUIRED FROM
RICKERT SOUTH OF WEEKS
FIELD
Following a meeting of the exe
cutive committee of the Fairbanks
Commercial Club, reports the News
Miner, survey was begun for moor
ing the Graf Zeppelin while mak
ing her base during Arctic explora
tion next spring. At the meeting,
at which Capt. Austin E. Lathrop,
in charge of the Graf preparations
here, Charles L. Thompson, local
manager for the Alaska Airways^
Inc., and Joe Ulmer, engineer, were
heard, a three-year lease was taken
on a strip of land 2,000 by 1.500
feet in dimension, belonging to P. J.
Rickert, forming a southeasterly
extension of Weeks flying field.
Ulmer was instructed to make a ,
survey and when this is completed ;
and clearing costs estimated, a ,
general meeting will be called for
the purpose of financing the work. ]
It is intended that the new field 1
shall be so prepared that it may be (
used in conjunction with Weeks
field for airplane landing purposes,
thus greatly extending facilities t,o
meet a rapidly growing demand. J
The area to be prepared will be of 1
approximately 500 acres.
The executive committee’s deci- j
sion to start work on th field had
been delayed several days pending
definite assurance that the Graf!
would use Fairbanks as a base.

[That assurance came in a wire |
from Thomas A. Marquam, now in j
i Washington, who addressed Cap- '
|tain Lathrop as follows:
l “The following cablegram was i
received from Fleming from Pots- i
dam, Germany, ‘Confirm our cable j
August 1. Lehmann arriving at j
Lakehurst about August 31 and will j
make further arrangements with i
you and Meister for sending to j
Fairbanks a competent airshipman, I
possibly accompanying Marquam. j
(Thanks for your successful ar
rangement of railroad rates. Signed
Aeroarctic.’
“ This is the confirmation I have
awaited. I believe that nothing
but an accident to the Zeppelin will
prevent her being in Fairbanks
next April.
“In view of these latest assuranc- j
es I would advise that you begin
immediately and vigorously to pre- j
pare the field. Am forwarding im- I
mediately blueprints from Ger- j
many and the Navy Department j
here for the mast and founda
tions.”
In a previous wire to Captain La
throp Mr. Marquam outlined speci
fications for the field and mast:
“Captain Lehmannn of the Zep- ,
pelin furnished the following speci- .
fications—The field must be 3,000
by 1,500 feet, the greatest length at
right angles to the prevailing wind, j
making two fields 1,500 feet square, I
one.for landing and one for moor- j

ROUEN, Aug., * 28. (IP) —Two
forgotten automobile pioneers,
given credit for the first explo
sion-engine car, have been brot
to memory by the Automobile
Club of Normandy.
Edouard Delamare-Debouteville
and Leon Maladin are asserted
to have built and driven a car
that ran with motor and used
ordinary lighting gas.
During the first run the rubber
tube from the gas tank to the
motor blew out, giving the amaz
ed spectators a fright. Later two
men rigged up a gasoline engine
in the car, which was an old
buggy, and ran it successfully
for a long time.
