Mr. L. S. Keller,
Edi'or of 'he Alaskan,

.My Dear Sir:
The enclosed graphic diagram hag
been prepared from statistics shown,
by the official records of the
Cpast and Geodetic Survey. Its pun
posp is to shorc how1 far the sur
veys by thie bureau have teen,
advanced, and to give an estimate
o" ♦Jie time required for completion
with the present facilities.
Trusting that it will prove of in
terest, I am,
Very truly yours,
(Signed) E. LtESTEH JONES,
Superintendent.
The diagram referred to t>y Mr.
Junes in the above letter consists of
three color charts one inch wide
by five inches long, the first one
of which is marked "Alaska." Thla
chart has the lower right hand corn
er cut off by a triangular mark
three-fourths of an inch high and
one and three-eighths Inches long,
and is colored red. The b&lance
of tlie chart is colored yellow. The
red portion is 9 per cent of the
whole, and the yellow, the balance
of lhe 100 per cent of the whole
or 91 per c£jif.
A DOIUWU JUL1UVVS, ICI^J.
D'-r cent.) reoresents unsurveyed;
water areas. Red (9 per cent) re
presents water ara? surveyed in tlie
Dns* thirty (30) years.
At the present rate it will take
333 years to comple'e a first sur
vey of Alaska's navigable waters.
The second chart represents Cali
fornia, Oregon and Washington, and
sncws that Calofirnia has bad 27
per cent of its navigable waters
surveyed, and at the present rate
U will require 170 years to com
plete a first surrey of the navig
able waters of the Pacific Coast.
Th third chart represents the
Philfppine Islands and shows that
61 ocr cent of the navigable wat
eis have been surveyed. This
work has been done in the last 16
years, showing tha* Philippine sur
veys have progressed more rapidly in
16 years than in the other re
gions shown on the diagrams, due
to the funds appropriated by con
gress for this purpose and four ship
which have been supplied by the
Philippine government.
It is really more essential that
the waters of the Pacific Coast and
the waters of Alaska be surveyed,
than any other section of shore lin<
of ihe whole United States, as the
passages through which ships are
compelled to pass makes the naviga
t<on of such shiDs much more haz
ardous when a navigator lias nol
been aided by the chaits which, show
the depth of all waters and all
perils to navigation, such! as sunk
pn reefs, shoals, rocks, etc.
Why should not the government
aopropriate sufficient funds and
equip enough ships to do this work
;n a few yeaTS instead of retarding
the development of the country by
withholding siucb, work.
ALASKA BOATS AS
AUXILIARIES FOIl NAM
In urging increased apTHQPria'ion
for tie United. States Coast and
Geodetic Survey, E. Lester Jones,
superintendent of that branch ol
the government service, points oul
in his annual report that the sur
vev work bears a close relation to
national defense and. that his de
railment is co-operating with the
navy.
Tho two new vessels which he
asKs tor the purveys Alaska work
are to be built in accordi with the
navy's views and in time of war
would become naval auxiliaries. Th<
same holds true of launches which
ho asks for ®ire-drag operations in
northern waters.
Copies of the report have just
been received from Washington, D.
C. As usual, Superintendent Jones
gives detailed attention to the
needs of Puget Sound and Alaska.
That the coast and geodetic eur
vey in its plans for purvey work,
for new vessels and for keeping all
Us floating equipment in service the
year round, has ca'refully considered
tho problem of national defense is
brought out by the report in strik
ing form. Jones calls attention to
the fact that the navy, the first line
of defense, is dependent on the sur
veys for the safe navigation of its
ships.—Juneau Empire.

$100 FOll CHRISTMAS DlNXER
Among the many Christmas gitt9
senf. to the Yukon contingent of
soldiers sfati°ned at the Willows
camp, Victoria, was a fund of $400
sent by the Yukon people, so that
the boys might have a real Christ
mas dinner. To live on beans,
bread, and canned "horse" day iu
and day out, the boys say, is not
pleasant, and they greatly appre
ciated this gift from the people of
tlieir own home territory.
