Commercial Development of Arctic
to Be Undertaken.
POCATELLO, Idaho, June 23.—Reports that another expedition into the Arctic regions is being planned was given confirmation today by
Vilhjalmur Stefansson, Canadian explorer, who will head the exploration and development company as president. Stefansson, who is in Pocatello, said:
“The object of the company will be to further develop the resources of the Arctic land, which most people consider a hopeless waste, on a commercial basis.”
Vancouver was chosen headquarters of the company because of its ideal location with respect to the land ly[i]ng north of Canada, to which the de[v]elopment activities will be confined, [h]e said. ^
