--
Will Fly to Barrow Where Remain
and Continue Exploration over Un
known area
Captain Wilkins, commander of the
Detroit Arctic Exploration society,
passed thru Seward Sunday en route
to Detroit where he will make his
official* report on work accomplished
thus far. Captain Wilkins stated to
the Gateway it was his intention to
return to Fairbanks within two
months bringing with him a new
single engine unit for the Detroiter
as the three Wright whirlwind radial
motors have been dismantled and are
being shipped to the States. Regard
ing the Wright motors he said “they
proved their value in many places and
functioned satisfactorily but the rea
son for the change is unsutficient
power for the range required in the
unexplored area. “The new unit will
be thoroughly tested out in New York,
he said, and upon his return to Fair
banks, where the Detroiter, his own
personal property, is now housed in
the hangar, further test flights will
be made and also perhaps, mapping
certain portions of that area over
the Endicott range. The new unit
■will be attachable to any plane by
the adjustment of four bolts, he add
ed.
I have learned nothing new aoout ,
Arctic conditions,” Captain Wilkins!
said, ‘‘and my four years of Arctic j
experience and fifteen years associat
ed flying has convinced me that air
planes will function better in the Arc
tic than dirigibles. And early in the
■spring, the latter part of March and
April, are the portions of the entire
rear, according to compiled records
of years standing, suited for long dis
tance flying, owing to the absence
of fogs which otherwise hover over
the ice seas continually throughout
the summer months.
‘‘However, I learned a great deal j
about the handling of equipment in .
low temperatures and at emergency
bases. The real Arctic conditions
are not nearly as troublesome as
lower latitudes south of the Arctic
Circle where you get greater humid
ity in the atmosphere.”
Captain Wilkins said he never ex
pected to find land directly between .
Point Barrow and the North Pole but
from his observations believes land |
will be found to the northwest of Bar
row and this land will be most likely
low lying islands between Barrow and
north of Greenland.
He said the cause of the dense va
pors and fogs during the summer
months was caused from the wTater
being of a higher temperature than
the ice which sealed it during the .
winter and in the spring, when the i
ice cracked open, this vapor was re- ;
leased. ]
Lieut. Carl B. Eielson will continue 1
as pilot of the expedition but as to

AVIATORS. ARRIVE
SAFE KETCHIKAN
KETCHIKAN — Merrill
and Davis arrived here this
afternoon at 2:20 o’clock.
The aviators encountered
engine trouble all the way
up from Vancouver, B. C.,
from which point they hop
ped off for Seward a week
ago last Sunday. The trouble
necessitates installing a new
engine which will be placed
in position at once. They ex
pect to hop off for Seward
within five days.

SIGNATION, ANDREWS
WASHINGTON, July 6. {^—Con
vinced “There isn’t any intention on
the part of the United States to en
force the eighteenth amendment”, |
Edgar R. Ray, prohobition adminis
trator of western Pennsylvania, tend- i
ered his resignation to Czar Andrews.
He said “The amendment was neveT
intended to cover a larger territory
than from Washington to Geary. It
is my opinion it is the biggest swindle
ever perpetrated in this country. The
stage is set for the return to old con
ditions but I am not going to be a par-'
ty to it.”
STARR WESTBOUND TONIGHT
On it’s third trip of the season to
Bristol bay and way points the steam
er Starr, Capt. O. A. Johansen, will j
depart this evening at about 6 o’clock. '
A good size listing of reservations
have been made and considerable
general tonnage is being taken out.
The vessel will return to port the lat
ter part of the month.
the remainder of the personnel of the
party he could not say at this time.
Ten thousand gallons of oil and
gasoline is now en route to Point
Barrow from Nome, he said, where
as during the past months of work
there never was more than 100 extra
gallons of oil and gasoline available.
Captain Wilkins looked hale and
hearty and with his whiskers shaved
off makes a fine appearing young
looking man. He is quite enthused
over the work thus far accomplished
and is very confident of the uliimate
success in reaching his objective. He
goes back to Detroit with a cordial
feeling in his heart for Alaskans and
especially the residents of Fairbanks
who assisted him in every way they
possibly could. “The attitude of Al
iskans is something I shall never for
get,” he said. During the last fifteen
rears he added that at no place had
le remained so long as he did at Fair- ;
eanks for he has been continually on
