WASHINGTON. March 17.—-A
telegram has been received at. the
Department of the Interior from Dr.
Philip 8. Smith. head o! the Geo-
._ logical Survey party that in explor—
i lng Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4
in northern Alaska. announcing
that he and lilo party of a dozen or
more men and 140 EskimoEdogs
made their “hop-oi!" trom the last
outpost of civvllziation early this
month and will for the next live
months be entirely on their own re-
sources and beyond communication.
Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4
includes a. great area. of some 85.-
000 square miles in the extreme
northwestern part 0: North Ameri-
ca. in one of the most inaccessible
parts or Alaska. last year the Geo-
logical Survey explored its coastal
part and round enough evidence or
the presence 0! oil to justify its rur-
thcr survey. The inland part or the
reserve can be reached only by a
winter Journey, and this expedition
is therefore now on its way.
Dr. Smith is a geologist and an
experienced Alaskan explorer. The
party includes another geologist. Dr.
J. B. Mertle. and two engineers, R.
K. Lynt and Gerald Fitzgerald. All
three of these men were selected be-
cause of their proved ability to en-
dure hardships met in traversing an
unknown region and to combat the
rigors of an Arctic winter.
The region to be explored lle'e
north of the Arctic Mountain sys-
tem, a. cede: of high ranges that
stretch athwart northern Alaska.
South of these ranges lie the drain-
age basins of the great Yukon and
Kuskokwim rivers. where vegeta-
tion is abundant and there are tilla-
ble and pasture lands. so that the
country is assured of settlement by
white men. The winters are cold
but not so severe as to forbid habi-
tation. and the growing season of 70
, to 100 days permits many food crops
‘ to ripen.
The country north of the Arctic
Mountains is the only truly polar
; part of the United States. compris:
lng less than 20 per cent. of the
total area. of Alaska. In polar Alan-
ka there are less than forty days in
the year without killing irost;
timber is absent, and such vegeta-
tion as can grow is stunted. ln

dog eats 3 pounds of dried salmon

not' the least of their tech. In ad-
dition to the dogs of the freight

Before the June thaw comes the
