WOMAN CROSSES ARCTIC CIRCLE
 THREE TIMES

Much has been written and said about the pioneers of Alaska, but rarely, however, do we see anything in song, verse or prose about the part played by women in this northland
 Yet, some of them have proven them selves real pioneers in the develop
 ment of the resources of the country
 and there is now in Cordova a mem
 Der of the fair sex who enjoys the
 distinction of having blazed trails and
 "mushed" behind dog teams. facing
 blizzards such as are only encoun-
 tered on these hazardous trips and
 during which many sturdy 0ld-timer
 has sacrificed his life She is Mrs.
 Pearle Howard, who braved the hard
 ships of Alaska5s lengthy and lone
 some trails with few or no settlers
 along the route. Mrs. Howard came
 here direct from Panama, a distance
 of five hundred miles from Chitina,
 which she covered in eighty-five hours actual travelling time, with team of
 five dogs. The more remarkable is
 the trip when 1t is considered that this woman made 1t alone, which is something even the men folk rarely ever do. 1t was necessary to spend be on the trail; sometimes they were spent in cabins and again 1t became necessary to camp in the open wilder ness. Food had also to be cooked for her dog team, which was packed on the sled, as we'll as her blankets and the clothing she would need upon her arrival on the coast.
 That Mrs. Howard is a courageous woman and an intrepid musher is evidenced from the experience she has just gone through. The thermometer registered from thirty to fifty below zero most of the time, and while cross ing the delta from Rapids to Yosts. 1 she ran into binding snowstorm and | the mercury dropped to sixty below zero. While the blizzard ragged 1t was to control the team. and | she and the dogs and sled were blown | from one side of the delta to the other | and then back again. This lasted for 1 several hours. and when the driver !! finally became almost exhausted from | being buffeted about. she decided to plant herself on the glare ice and by | hooking her arm in the bow of the l sled succeeded in steadying the team. | While doing this a glove was torn | from her hand. which was severely | cut by fall caused by the sharp wind oyerturning the sled. While the snow | was falling and old Boreas blowing | one could see but couple of feet l ahead of the team.
 Mrs, Howard has mining interests | in the Tanana valley and was called | to the states on business. after the | transaction Of which she will make | a pleasure trip to Honolulu, return ing here in March, ready to make the homeward overland trip with the same team of dogs she drove out and which is being cared for at Chitina, the june, tion point of the Copper River & railway, until her re- turn from the southern sun to the country of the northern lights This is not the first experience of the kind had by Mrs. Howard, as she made the trip from Koyukuk to Panama two years ago, when sh covered BIO miles each way. and in her journey crossed the Arctic circle three times.
