Alaska the Base For North Pole
 Expedition

SEATTLE = Gordon Scott, of De- troit, has arrived, and begun as sembling three snow motors for the Wilkins expedition to the North Pole regions.
 Scott, A. Malcolm Smith and Earl Rossman will sail for Seward on the Northwestern next Saturday.
 Scott said the snow motors will be put in operation from Nenana. One will be left to clear the field for the planes of the expedition and the other two would haul five sleds carrying a total of 15 tons of provisions and supplies, largely oil and gasoline for the planes.
 Smith will act as guide and go from Nenana to Panama, thence north to Bettles, up the John River and follow the Anakavuk to the Arctic Ocean along the frozen sea to Point Barrow.
 It is expected the snow motors with the sleds will make 35 miles a day and it will take 35 days to make the trip. Very little food will be carried outside of sugar. salt and flour as the men expect to live principally on caribou.
 Scott said probably the men would not be able to leave Nenana before February l 5 because the special gasoline vii not arrive in time
 After the plane Wilkins hops off in from Point Barrow. the cara van will wait a week, then fly the remaining planes from Nenana on assumption that Wilkins has flown to Spitzbergen. If Wilkins finds land he will return to Point Bar row and then fly back and explore the land.
 Smith and Rossmar arrived here this forenoon. They came direct from New York City
 On his arrival here Mir Rossman announced that the planes will all be taken direct to Fairbanks over the Alaska Railroad All three will hop from Fairbanks to Point Bar row. The snow motors will go to Nenana, one being held in reserve there. while the remainder will haul supplies overland to Point Barrow for the expedition.
