Seattle. Jan. IS. @-captain F. T. Mcintyre. the veteran Alaska trader and engineer. predicted that the Wilkins flight from Point Bar row across the pole would be a failure.

They will never be able to cross the Endicott Range and they will find no trail but on the con- trary, great hummocks of snow and ice that the tractors can't crawl over or go around. Even dogs couldn't haul gasoline across the mountains this time of year, but dogs could come nearer doing 1t than tractors"
