bodily functioning is disturbed, the
cause in most cases should lie

the junction of these rivers. Thence
the expedition will follow the mail
trail, used once or twice month,
which leads northward overland for a
distance of 125 to $50 miles to koyu-
kuk river, another great tributary Of
the Yukon from the north; reaching
the koyukuk at the little mission of
st. Johns, in the wilderness, which
stands almost exactly on the arctic
circle. From here the route will fol-
low up to Atatna river, tributary of
the Koyukuk, which rises in the high,
rugged mountains that form the
southern border of the naval reserve.
At about $50 miles up the Atatna
is the northern limit of timber, and
here the party will establish head
quarters camp.
For the last $50 miles of its journey
to this point, and from here on as
well, the party will be in the very
heart, of the wilderness, and the men
must rely absolutely on their own
resources.

is abundant and there are tillable

In polar Alaska there are less than
forty days in the year without killing
frost, all timber is absent, and such
vegetation as. can grow is stunted. In
sheltered places back from the coast
the daring invader may find low will
lows, but in the region to be surveyed
not even these are available for fuel
or to provide shelter. The expedition
will have to carry the frames for
Eskimo huts as part of its impedi-
menta.
The party expects to reach Colville
river in April. 1t will then have
about two months more of good sled
ding to explore the south end Of the
petroleum reserve.
Part of the supplies transported
will consist of four specially con-
structed light Peterborough canoes,
nested together and built onto spe-
cial sled. At some tributary of the
Colville from the west two of the
canoes will be cached along with
enough supplies to last four men
three months. The expedition will
then push along to the west proba-
bly, following the northern front of
the mountain range, in an attempt to
find a pass over it into the drainage
basin of Meade river, the lower 120
miles of which were assembled and
mapped by geological survey party
in 1928.
Probably by this, time the summer
will be near at hand, the snow will
begin to disappear and shedding will
be no longer possible. One party of
four men will then return to the cache
on the headwater stream of the Col
Vile, while the other will remain on
the tributary of the Meade, each
awaiting the breakup of the streams,
after which the rest of the journey

twenty years ago F. C. Schrader pro-
in the Racific ocean, on the southern
border of Alaska, following the south
ern drainage as far as he could up
the John river, then portaging to the
drainage in the other direction. He
proceeded along the Anakatuvuk river
and came out in Harrison bay, in the
Arctic ocean. BY that trip he pro-
ceeded across the entire west side of
Alaska from one ocean to the other.
This journey is not made for ad-
venture, but for geologic and topo-
graphic surveys, to obtain definite in
formation about the presence or abb
sence of great oil fields in this distant
region. All the details of equipment
and personnel have been planned with
great care by members of the geo.
logical survey, who have had long
years OF experience in Alaska.
The provisions have been carefully
chosen, but experience has shown that
the most suitable food is that used by
Alaskans themselves in their arduous
journeys. Practically all of the pro-
visions and much of the equipment
have been obtained in Alaska
Only the canoes were carried into
the country. They are of the Peters
boro type and were built in Canada,
according to specifications long ago
adopted by the geological survey.
In this northern region there is
much coal and probably at least some
petroleum. OF other resources the
extensive reindeer pastures are per-
haps the most valuable. The wild
reindeer or caribou are also sources
of food, but the members of an ex-
poration party cannot afford to de-
pend on game for food, although
they will gladly take such as comes
their way. To rely on hunting is
likely to retard progress and prevent
the party from carrying out sys-
tematic plans for surveys. The ex-
p1orer who has a definite task to
perform can leave nothing to chance.
If he does, his main purpose may
be frustrated and he will have to
return with only picturesque ac-
count of wild adventure
Plans have been in contemplation
since 1912 for the survey of this more
northern region, but the work could
not be undertaken earlier on account
of lack of funds. It has long been
known that this region might contain
deposits of valuable minerals, but so
many other areas afforded promise of
more immediate results that this sur
vey has been postponed from year to
year.

so severe as to forbid habitation. and
the growing season of 20 to 100 days
permits many food crops to ripen.
From this point forward for 700
miles, in a region where no brush
even as large as a lead pencil can be
found, and in the absence of discoy-
cries of coal or oil, the expedition will
have to use kerosene for cooking
food. The commissariat, it is expect
ed, will be helped out by such game
as moose, mountain sheep, caribou
and ptarmigan. Fish from the rivers
and the plentiful small black bears of
northern Alaska will also contribute
materially, especially in providing for
the hungry dogs, for which, in addi-
ton, at least two tons of salmon must
be transported.

ocean.
This region may well be described
as polar desert, for it is semi-arid,
having less than ten inches of annual
precipitation. AS none of the snow
melts until the summer thaw, how
ever, DR.. Smith expects to find enough
for shedding.
