PLAN DASH FOR POLE.
To Start From Dawson-Composed Of
Experienced Explorers.

Seattle, WccSSha., Aug. 29.-An expedi-
ton in search of the north pole will
start from Dawson, Yukon territory,
next summer. if the plans of the In
ternational Society for Polar Re-
search and Experiment are fulfilled.
Gov. w. B. McInnes of Yukon is one
of the leaders in the movement, and
General Greedy, arctic explorer, thinks
the plans feasible.
The main difference between the
plans of the Yukon explorers and
those Of expeditions in the past is
that the latter expect to utilize their
knowledge of ways and means of ex-
istence and transportation. They
point to the many mistakes made by
persons unaccustomed to artic eli
mate, the chief one being the wear
ing of entirely unnecessary clothing
that does not add to comfort and
weakens the system.
