BETTLES, Aaska, March 12 (By Radio to Fairbanks, March 13.)— After crossing the arctic circle and the Koyokuk river last. Wednesday •afternoon, the Detroit arctic expedition's advance party of five dog teams, bound for Point Barrow, arrived at Bettles today. From Alatna, where we crossed the Koyokuk, to here travel was extremely difficult, owing to the soft snow, the heavy loads the sledges are carrying and the narrowness of the trail along the mountainsides. Although the sledges contain only the barest of necessities in the way of supplies, every vailable bit of manpower is constantly in use. Our party of eight men, with their 58 dogs, breaks camp and hits the trail before dawn in the morning and keeps going until long after night fall. A. Malcolm Smith, the tireless leader, is getting maximum results at terrific personal effort, despite conditions. The weather continues favorable, but the dogs are slowing up somewhat, with the hardest part of the trail, over the Endicott mountains, yet ahead of us. From here to our destination on the Arctic ocean we must break our own trail. Yesterday we passed open water on several creeks and on the Koyokuk river. Herbert Anderson, one of the drivers, got wet to the hips. Despite their frequent tumbles in, the wet. deep snow, all of the party are in good health.
