Most of the country traversed was hilly and thickly wooded. The wind had cleared nwny most of the snow over n considerable stretch and Inter mittent thaws Impelled the progress ot the party. On two occasions pucks of wolves hovered nround the skiers. In some of the remoter district the appearance of the skiers caused much excitement among the peasants, some of whom took them for n band of es caped convicts. Others believed that that were the advance gunrd of a for eign army Invading Russia, and In several villages the children rnn away ami hid themselves In tlie woods The greatest difficulty experienced by the party was In the transport of pro visions nnd reserve skis. These were carried on horseback, but numerous re lays of horses had to be requisitioned. The equipment of the men weighed about twenty pounds. Ask 543 Commorcial Organiza tions For Views on Measure.
