 Across Alaska in Motor Truck.

 Fordfng scores of glacial streams

 passes, blasting their way through forests and giant bou1ders. the party drove from Valdez to Fairbanks and return, a distance of 826 miles in 19 | days. Thrilling experiences with snow-s1ides, washouts and quicksand were reported by the party.
 
 primarily to determine the possibility and practicabilfty of motor transpor- l tation in Alaska, the engineers map ped out a route which reduces by at least one month the time required to reach the larger interior towns, par tfcuIarly those on the upper Yukon l and the headwaters of the Tanana River.
 The fact that a standard truck of a design already employed in the army, successfully carried it's rated load over the entire route in both directions, will undoubtedly give a great impetus to the road construction actually be- I ing carried on by the Alaska Board of Road Commissioners along the trail I of the military telegraph line. La i boring under the difficulties of a short season and the greater difficult ty of transporting supplies. the road commission has worked wonders in a | wfldern ess.
 1 The expedition was typical of Un- I cle Sans method of getting impor- l.tant information. A 1,50O-pound truck had been shipped to the Alaska road commissioners early in the sum mer. It was delivered in Valdez on July 26 and two days later it was
 started on the trail to Fairbanks, there to be joined by Lieutenant Col onef Richardson, president of the board of road commissioners and oth-
 CT engineers.
 The truck left Valdez~with. a load | of supplies and a quantity of mail for
 camps along the military telegraph line. Food was carried for use only
 in the desolate regions where there
 are no road houses or settlements. i Leaving Valdez in a. drizzling rain,

glacier and almost imm ediately enter ed Keystone Canyon, IA miles long, whose walls of ice and rock rise nearly thousand feet above Lowe River a typical glacier stream. The entire region is volcanic showing great outcroppings of mineral, with rock of wierd formations and varied colors. Great lodges of iron ore gave a reddish tinge to the walls The surface was covered with a thin coat ing of volcanic ash. The trail leads along narrow cliff-trails, blasted out of solid rock and running almost at the foot of a number of beautiful cascades.
 After spending the night at a set t1em ent known as Workman's, they resumed the journey through the can yon and commenced the real ascent on the trail over the Chugach noun tains, with a, steady climb of 25 1-2 miles to the summit at Thompson's Pass, an elevation of 5000 feet. While the temperature was decidedly lower at the summit, the danger of melting snow and ice was not entirely abat- ed and the truck ran into snow slides at four different points. Fortunately none was of great proportion and the crew escaped with nothing worse than selves out. The descent from the summit was found to be much sharp CT than the ascent and the truck rapidly descended into another delta region and forded half a dozen gla- cier streams before they reached a camp at Beaver Dam.
 The next three days were spent on trails that have been opened in the last three years by the Alaska Road Commission in the deltaS of the Cop per and Gulkana Rivers. Corduroy trails, built of scrub timber, extreme Iy rough and narrow at best, prevent ed the party from making rapid head way. For many miles the trail pass ed through dense scrub and beds of Alaska moss into which heavy ob- jects would sink three feet or more
 Much time was lost on the. banks of treacherous streams, fed by melt ing glaciers and churned by huge bouIders whose exact location could be determined only by wading out into the stream before attempting to cross with the truck. The Copper River valley, though walled in by mountains and glaciers, was found to be rich in vegetation and the natives, chiefly Indians, were abundant1y sup piled with many vegetables. Floral growth equally surprised the member of the party. The whole side of one mountain was covered with crim- son growth which the Indians call fire flowers.
 From Beaver Dam north, the en- gineers experienced the greatest diff culties of their trip. Following the Copper River Valley to the fork of the Gu1kana. they traversed a vast area of delta land where tractive conditions were worse than the region they had just left. The military trail, passing through 8 low and marshy country, was alternately covered with ice and glacier mud. Tn the worst places the wheels were wrapped with stout rope and the truck had no difficulty in pulling through, but it was operated | on low gear during the entire after noon. To pass through several tim Der tracts 1t was necessary to cut down scores of trees and blast out sturfffJS, ,-Focks and ice
