MOTORS INSTEAD OF DOGS
Trip Over the Cascades in a Gasoline
Sleigh Was Distinct
Success.

A spectacular trial trip was recently
made across the Cascades in a motor
sleigh, and number of photographs,
taken at various stages of the journey,
are reproduced in Popular Mechan-
les. The achievement Of the motor
sleigh was almost as amazing as that
of the first army tank, cOnquering, as
it did, all kinds of obstacles. Swimming
the surface of snowfalls, old or new,
the strange little vehicle broke its way
through primeval passes with never
stumble. The rescue of an automobile,
hopelessly stalled in the drifts of Sno-
qualmie pass, was mere incident in
it's progress. Crossing a deep gully on
a pair of hemlock poles was but one of
the days adventures. The intended
substitution of the motor sleigh for the
dog drawn sledges of Alaska's snow
bound post trails means more to the
people of that great territory than may
be generally realized. Jack London and
others have limned the malemute as
romantic figure; but the followers of
the trail know well he is never that. 1t
is the elimination of much human hard
ship. as we'll as canine inefficiency. that
recommends the gasoline method.
