eXplainable manner to hang a big toe
under the crust of the snow in one
of the break-throughs and gave it a
wrench which pulled it out of joint in
such a way that it amounted virtually
to a broken bone.

less than a quarter of a mile, with the

up in despair and took TO the shelter
cabin for the night. We were out
next morning an hour before daylight
to find q fairly hard frozen crust. We
travelled II miles by O clock when we
reached a second shelter cabin where
we stopped and had breakfast. From
that time on the snow began to dis
appear rapidly and in the course OF
the day we travelled across the tundra
with only q ribbon of a trail of snow
about two inches deep.
We reached a shelter cabin toward
the middle of the afternoon and had
luncheon. There was n stretch ahead
of 10 miles TO the cabin. used by the
mail teams at the foot of Old Woman
Mountain. We started for it and our
troubles began again. as we ran into
a slough across which the trail leads

The ice was gone and there was a
pond of water I finally worked out

The water was too deep to chance

slough was q tangle of willows for a

day was Unalakleet. We had been
told that the last seven or eight miles
of the trip led along the surface Of q
river and into the village of Unalak-
leet. We pictured at least a whirl-
wind finish. After the difficulties
along the portage, we struck two or
three more of the open water places
i'm the course of the afternoon, and
when pitch darkness came we were
still several miles from the banks of
the river. We travelled as long as we
could see the trail.
Already we had decided that it
would be unsafe to attempt to travel

the start the trail led around the base
of Old Woman Mountain and uphill to
the broad expanse of tundra. For
a few hours we had only tundra and
and no snow.
The trails through that part of the
country are marked by log tripods
placed every few hundred yards
where there is no snow on the ground,
as was the case there. 1t Is remark
able how easily we can lose the trail,
and we did 1t frequently during that
day. Toward early afternoon we came
down a little hill toward clump of
willows, which indicated the presence
of a slough. We had visions of

would give us an easy run FOR a

three miles to cross what would have
been a couple of hundred yards in

We reached Old Woman Mountain
about $50 o'clock. We had made 40
miles as the days travel. 1t was the
first really respectable days travel we
had accomplished in more than a
week.
We crawled into our sleeping
blankets stretched out on the floor
of the cabin and slept the sleep Of the

 Now comes Major General C. Nick. Saltzman, chief signal officer of the army with the statement that the AL aska cable with 44 nautical miles, along with the radio system and Signal Corps has brought net return to the government this year.
 In 1922 the government operated 47O miles of land wires and 2669 miles of cable in Alaska in addition to wireless service extending far north Nome and to many points throughout the Territory
 In commenting upon the work of the Signal Corps, Major General Saltzman says in his annual report for 1926 that the signal corps has not only kept pace with commercial advances, but has led in many important phases Radio apparatus developed by the signal corps sent message with short wave lengths and high requen cy from the Philippines to Washington The radio beacon which guides arshps 200 miles away has added to the safety of avaion and these and other advances have been originated materially aided by work of the signal corps.
