BET NORTH EECOED WITH WHITE
la Order to Do It Party Had to Blast
Boulders, Out Through Dcnae For
ests and IMort Through Qalck
nttds and Snorr.
United Stater army engineers have Just
completed a, remarkable expedition in a
White truck, driving half way across
Alaska to a point within two degrees of
tho Artie circle, the farthest, northern
point ever attained by a motor vehicle
ind officially confirmed.
Fording scores of glacial streams, run
ning through canyons and crevasses uf
solid Ico from S00 to 10GO feet In depth,
crossing tho Alaska and Chugach. mouu
taln ranges on steep and icy trails over
unused passes, blasting their way through
forests and g!ant boulders, the party
drove for Valdez to Fairbanks and re
turn, a distance of 820 miles 'n nineteen
days. Thrilling experiences with snow
slides, washouts and quicksand were re
ported by the party.
Although tho trli was primarily to de
termine tho possibility and practicability
of motor transportation in Alaska, the
engineers mapped out a route which re
duces, by at least one month the time
required' to reach the larger Interior
towns, particularly those on the upper
Yukon and tho headquarters of the
Tanana RlVer.l
The fact that a standard truck of a
design already employed in the army suc
cessfully carried its rated load over the
entire route in both directions, will un
doubtedly give agreat impetus to the
road construction actually being carried
on by the Alaska board of road commis
sioners along the trail of the military
telegrah line. Laboring under the diffi
culties of a short season and the gteater
dlfflcutly of transporting supplies, the
road commission has worked wonders In
a wilderness.
The. expedition was typical ot Uncle
Sam's method of getting Important In
formation. A "Whit l.GOO-pound truck
had been shipped to the Alaska ,road
commissioners early In the summer. It
was delivered in Valdez In July 25 and
two. days later It was started on the
troll to Fairbanks, there to bo Joined
by Lieutenant Colonel Richardson, presi
dent of the hoard of road commissioners,
and other engineers.
Loaded with Supplies.
The truck left Valdez with a load of
supplies and a quantity of mall for camps
along the military telegraph line. Con
siderable mail was carried to points where
none had been received in over a year,
In order that the trip might reveal aver
age conditions, the truck was not espe
cially equipped, except In the matter ot
fuel and road tools. Food was carried
for use only In the desolate regions where
there are no "road houses" or settle
ments. Leaving Valdez In a drizzling rain, they
crossed the delta of the Valdez glacier
and almost immediately entered Keystone
canyon, fourteen miles long, whose walls
of ice and rock rise nearly 1,000 feet above
Lowe river, a typical glacier stream. The
entire region Is volcanlo, showing great
outcropplnga of mineral, with rook of
weird formations and varied colors'. Great
ledges of iron ore gave a reddish tinge
to the walls. The surface was covered
with a thin blanket of volcanic ash. The
trail' leads along narrow cliff-trails,
blasted out of solid rock and running
almost at the foot of a number of beauti
ful cascades.
After spending the night at a settle
ment known as Workman's, they resumed
the Journey through the canyon and com
mence the real ascent on the trail pvm
the Chugach mountains, with a steady
climb' ot twenty-five and a half miles to
the summit at Thompson's pass, an ele
vation of i.OOO feet. While the tempera
ture was decidedly lower at the summit,
the danger of melting snow and ice was
not entirely abated and the truck ran
into snowslldes at four different points.
Fortunately none was ot great propor
tion, and the crew escaped with nothing
worse than the extra work of digging
themselves out. The descent from the
summit was ,found to be much sharper

than the ascent, and the truck rapid)
descended into another delta region and
forded half a dozen glacier streams be
fore they reached a camp at Ueaver
Dam.
Trails Were Itounh.
The noxt three days were spent on
trails that have been opened in the last
three years by the Alaska Road commis
sion In the deltas ot the Copper and
Gulkana rivers. Corduroy trails, built of
scrub timber, extremely rough and nar
dow at best, prevented the party from
making rapid headway. For many miles
the trail passed through dense scrub and
beds ot Alaska moss Into which heavy
objects would sink three feet or more.
Much time was lost on the banks ot
treacherous streams, fed by melting
glaciers and churned by huge boulders,
whose exact location could be determined
only by wading out Into the stream be
fore attempting to cross with the truck.
The Copper river valley, though walled
in by mountains and glaciers, was found
to be rich In vegetation, and the natives,
chiefly Indians, were abundantly supplied
with many vegetables. Floral growth
equally surprised the members of the
party. The whole side of one mountain
was covered with a crimson growth which
the Indians call fire flower.
From Beaver Dam north, tho engineers
experienced the greatest difficulties of
their trip. Following the Copper River
valley to the fork of the Gulkana they
traversed a vast area of delta land where
tractive conditions were worse than the
region they had Just left The military
trail, passing through a low and marshy
country, was alternately covered with ice
and glacier mud. In the worst - places
the wheels were wrapped with stout rope
and the truck had no difficulty In pull
ing through, but It was operated on low
gear during the entire afternoon. To pass
through several timber tracts It was
necessary to cut down scores of trees
and blast out stumps, rocks and ce.
First Glimpse of Mountain.
On reaching Gulkana the party got. its
first glimpse of Mount Wrungell and
Mount Blackburn, 17,009 and 1C.000 feet,
respectively, higher tliap the tallest peak
of the Rockies. They were plainly in
sight Further away they saw the smoke
of an active volcano, Mount Sanford,
whose elevation is 14,000 feet
Three days of constant trail-blazing and
pathflndlhg brought the truck to Paxson
on the Gulkana river In the foothills of
the Alaska range. Following the military
trail straight north they began a gradual
ascent Into the Ice-clad mountains of
Alaska's principal range. The trail car
ried them high on the sides of tbe moun
tains, giving magnltlcont views of a num
ber of large lakes. According to the en
gineers, the grados averaged only 6 per
cent but there were many places where
It was necessary to climb a 18 per cent
grade on a solid and rough surface of
ice.
To guard against skidding and the pos
sibility ot sliding oft the Innumerable
cliffs, tho crew made use of a coll of
steel cable and wound the wheels tho
same as they had previously done with
rope. This expedient proved highly suc
cessful In giving traction for the climb,
but did not eliminate skidding. While
climbing cautiously through one of the
passes, along the edge of a steep preci
pice, the bank gave way under the weight
ot the truck and tho entire outfit had a
harrow escape from sliding off into a
Violent glacier stream.
Near tho summit they passed a massive
peak which had been worn into the shapo
of a perfect dome. The higher the alti
tude tho steeper they found tho grades.
It was & common occurrence to be haltod
on the side of a mountain by small
washouts due to melting glaciers.
Grades Were Steep.
At several points the grades wore so
steep and the turns so sharp that It
was necessary to maneuver with the re-
verse gear to mane tho turns, jno irouuio
was experienced In keeping the engine
cool. In fact tho cooling water did not
boll at any time on the entire trip, de-j
spite long pulls on low gear.
The descent from the summit pre-
sented no difficulties other than the
necessity for frequent Inspection nt the,
trull for considerable distances before'
driving ahead. After a long spell of cau-l
tlous and skillful driving they dropped
down Into the valley of the Dlta river,
and campjd b11 night on the Guncreck,
flats, which worn composed almost on-
tlrely of glacier mud and quicksand. j
Leaving the flats there was a marked
change In tho character of the country.
Fiats and marshes wt;re succeeded by.
giant Moulders, subjecting the truck to
fnarful tests of distortion, na'n added
tp their discomfort The military trail
to tho Tanana river pasves a place known
an Donnelly and here the crew found
evldenco of real road work. A clay and
ravel surfaco with a fairly good founda-l
tlon began at Donnelly and lasted forf
ninety miles over a rugged country wlth(
many stiff climbs and scarcely any snow
or ice. Willi's the surface was soft, it
was easily negotiated by tho truck. The
grades and detp mud proved to the en
gineers that the truck was powerful
enough to moet any emergency.
Ferried Across River. 1
The truck was carried across the
Tanana river on a ferry to the town of
McCarty and then driven along the bank
of the Tanana to Munson's. On the ninth
day, after covering 379 miles from Valdes,
It reached the northern end of the Jour
ney at the town of Fairbanks, which Is
situated on tho Tanana. This Is a branch
ot the Yukon and Fairbankt is tho ex
treme point ot navigation, 2 degrees '
from the Arctic circle.
Three days were spent In Fairbanks
preparatory to the return trip. The truck
was again loaded with supplies and mall.
Colonel Richardson took personal charge
on the roturn trip and was accompanied
by Superintendent lngroham. Lieutenants
Egerton and Steef, Thomas H. Parra
more, Jr., and Homer Jones. The total
.oud for the return trip was 2.100 pound i
600 in excess of the capacity ot the truck.
Leaving Fairbanks on August 9, again
in a downpour ot rain, they retraced
their route as closely as surface and
weather conditions would permit When
they reached the Ouncreek flats they
found that tbe steady rain of three days
had made tho glacier mud Tory sloppy
and wiped out the trail for considerable
distances. Quicksand was also a constant
menace. Despite the use of much brush
and timber the danger could not bo en
tirely avoided and the truck settled deep
enough to lose traction. Similar condi
tions existed throughout the entire dash
through the Gulkana and Copper river
deltas.
Near Gulkana they met a military pack
ot six horses, an army field wagon, a
buckboard and a detachment of troops
In command ot a first lloutonant sent
out by tho war department to Investigate
an alleged gold strike on the Ohlsana
river. Six horses were required to pull
a two-ton load and most of the load
necessarily consisted of feed for the
horses.
Twenty-six miles south of Gulkana, at
Willow Creek, they made a detour to
Chltinn, adding sixty-eight miles to their
Journey and lengthening the return trip
to ten days.
Cnt Iload Through Woods.
At Sheep Creek, Just befora re-entering
the Keystone canyon! they were compelled
to cut a swath in tho woods for COO yards
to avoid a bad washout caused by the
torrent of a melting glacier. A bridge,
twelve feet above the water when the
truck crossed It on the outbound trip,
had been completely carried away and
It was necessary to cut through tho wods
to a uultablo fording place. Adding to
their difficulties wero swarms of moose
flies and, surprisingly enough, equally
large swarms of mosquitoes, compelling
tho entlro party to wear nets over their
lion ils.
When they reached the Keystone can
yon the trail had been washed away in
many places. Thousands of tons of rook
and Ico had been dislodged and, In fall
ing, had carried away bulkheads of solid
stone supporting the trail. This forced
the crew to fill In great gulches with
stones before they could proceed.
At tho finish ot the trip on August 19
tho truck was again placed on the trail
to carry supplies and mall to road camps
and settlements In tho vicinity of Valdez.
Colonel Richardson raid he believed that
tho road work contemplated by the Alas
It an commissioners will make It possible
to go from aldez to Fairbanks In tour
days next summer.
