WHITE TRUCK NEARS
THE ARCTIC CIRCLE
Goes Farther North Than Any
Other Motor Vehicle Has
Ever Ventured.
By HARRY WARD.

United States Army engineers have
just completed a remarkable expedition
in White truck, driving half way
across Alaska TO a point within two
degrees of the Arctic circle, the farth-
crest point ever attained by a motor
vehicle and officially confirmed.
Fording scores of glacial streams,
running through canyons and crevasses
of solid ice from 500 to 1000 feet IN
depth. crossing the Alaska and Chu-
zach mountain ranges on steep and Icy
trails over unused passes, blasting their
way through forests and giant bould-
ers, the party drove from Valdez to
Fairbanks and return, distance OF
s26 miles. in nineteen days. Thrilling
experiences with snow-siides, washouts
and quicksand were reported by the
party.
Although the trip was undertaken
primarily to determine the possibility
and practicability of motor transporta-
out a route which reduces oy at least
one month the time required to reach
the larger interior towns particularly
those on the upper Yukon and the
headwaters Of the Tanana river.
The fact that a standard truck Of
successfully carried its rated load
over the entire route in both direc-
tions. will undoubtedly give a great
impetus to the road construction
actually being carried on by the
Alaska board Of road commissioners
along the trail Of the military tele-
graph line. Laborins under the diff
culties Of short season and the
greater difficulty Of Transporting sup
plies, the road commission has worked
wonders in a wilderness.
The expedition was typical Of Uncle
Sans method Of getting important
truck had been shipped to the Alaska
road commissioners early In the sum-
mer. It was delivered in Valdez on
July rs and two days later 1t was
started on the trail to Fairbanks,
there to be Joined by Lieutenant
Colonel Richardson, president OF the
board Of road commissioners, and
The truck left Valdez with a load
of supplies and a quantity of mail for
camps along the military telegraph
line. Considerable mail was carried
to points where none had been re-
ceived in over a year. In order that
the trip might reveal average condt-
tions. the truck was not especially
equipped. except in the matter OF
ried for use only in the desolate re-
gions where there are no road
houses" or settlements.
I At the finish of the trip on August
~, the truck was again placed on the
trail to carry supplies and mail to
vicinity OF Valdez. Colonel Richard
son said he believed that the road
wrok contemplated by the Alaskan
commissioners will make 1t possible
to go from Valdez to Fairbanks in
four days next summer.
