INTI ARCTIC
11SJEAS0N
Captain Alex Allan, the only man
who has made the round trip over
land between the Arctic and civiliza
tion in one season, was a recent vis
itor to Cordova on. his return to the
interior after a business trip to Seat
tle. He has twice accomplished this
feat. He did It In the winter season
1917-18 and repeated It this year.
In speaking of the missing schooner
Teddy Bear and her master, Captain
Joe Bernard, of Nome, Allan said:
"Captain Bernard set out in 1916
to make the Northwest Passage, trav
eling from west to east. Nothing has
been heard of him for more than a
. year, but that causes no alarm in the
Arctic. He was at Three River, sev
enty-five miles east of Copper Mine
River, when he was last reported.
“Unless misfortune has befallen
him, he is continuing his eastward
fight through the Northwest Passage
to Hudson Bay and thence to the At
lantic. If all goes well, I expect that
Joe will arrive on the Atlantic next
October, thus duplicating Amund
sen’s great feat of several years ago.
Amundsen, however, sailed from east
to west. I was shipmate with Joe in
the Arctic back in 1902 and I have
every confidence in his ability to
sail into the Atlantic.”
Long Mush Overland
Leaving Shingle Point, fifty-five
miles east of Herschel island, on
March 4, Captain Allan “mushed1’ his
dog team inland to the Old Crow
River, thus blazing a new trail from
the coast to the interior. The Old
Crow' runs into the Porcupine River
forty miles from the boundary line
between Canada and Alaska. Captain
Allan followed this route to the Por
cupine and descended to old Fort
Yukon, arriving there March 19, hav
ing walked 500 miles in slightly less
than sixteen days. Fromt Fort Yukon
he mushed to Circle and thence to
Fairbanks. As a passenger on the
long journey he had Leo Wittenberg,
Arctic trader. From Fairbanks the
two men journeyed by stage and rail
to Cordova, where they boarded a
ship for Seattle.
r
Poor Fur Season
"The past season In the Arctic,”
reports Captain Allan, “has been
marked by small fur catches. Fur
bearing animals have been scarce,
probably due to the lack of food. Rab
bits again are appearing in the
Mat kenzie country. Two years ago
they were plentiful. Last year they
were not to be found. This year they
have appeared in limited numbers and
next jear they will probaoly appear
in great numbers.
Captain Allan is again on his
way back to the Arctic. He
brought out a conignment of furs.
Wittenburg will also go back. He is
the man who nursed Stefansson, the
Arctic explorer, at Herschell island,
when the latter was ill with typhoid
fever. Wittenberg formerly owned the
schooner Challenge but sold her sev
eral years ago to Stefansson. The ex
plorer later sold her to Captain Noice,
who in turn sold her last fall. Wit*
tenberg now owns the schooner Sea
Wolf, lying at Juneau, and will go
back into the Arctic on that vessel
when navigation opens.
Registered Fo/ War
Captain Allan deserted the Arctic
last fall to come down and register
for the military draft and was ready
to get into uniform, but the signing
of the armistice ended his chances
of going to France. He then set out
on the return journey to the Arctic.
At Cordova he was quarantine five
days and at Fairbanks had another
ten days of the same treatment, be
cause of the influenza epidemic.
"There has never been a case of
influenza in the Interior districts of .
| Alaska through which I traveled in
going to and from the Arctic,” he
said. “There was a rumor that na
tives at/Copper Center, fifty miles
north of Chltina, had contracted the
malady, but later it was reported that (
it was not a case of influenza but of
wood alcohol.”

WHERE HOT POTATOES
ARE WORTH TWO BITS
JUAREZ, Mexico, May 16 (by As
sociated Press).—A baked potato
costs 25 cents in the El Paso hotels.
In Juarez they may be bought for a
few centavos a pound and baked over
charcoal stoves. Mexican potatoes are
grown by Chinese gardeners in the
Madera district of Western Chihua
hua, shipped here and then reshipped
to Central Mexico. They sell here for
less than half the price of American
potatoes in El Paso, but the export
duty prohibits their shipment to the
United States.
