CHINOOK AID TO FLYERS Helps Arctic Explorers Get Snow Off Flying Field. By Frederic Lewis Earp. Special Correspondent of The Spokane-Review and the North American Newspaper Alliance with the Detroit Arctic Expedition. (Copyright, 1926, by N. A. N. A.) FAIRBANKS, Alaska. March 26. -- A Chinook wind last night and today brought the temperature to 40 degrees above and delighted the members of the Detroit arctic expedition. The warmth will do more in a day than their tractors and scrapers could do in a week to clear the landing field where their two planes are to take off for Point Barrow. The smaller, the Alaskan, is ready to fly now but will not be sent into the air until widening of the field is completed. The sky is overcast today with a strong, warm breeze blowing from the east. Captain George Hubert Wilkins, commander of the expedition, predicts the wind will sift within 48 hours, bringing another cold spell, but not as cold as last week. The overland party is somewhere on the Anatuvuk river, heading for its confluence with the Colville. Captain Wilkins did not have radio communication with the party last night but last reports showed the dog teams to be making good time down the arctic slope toward Point Barrow.
