’ ftI£nS6utftoastern Alaska,1 all thru
' t earner" rentes'are now chared, and
he " original survey e of ' the 1 outside
r cohst^of this "region hah been com
? ploted.' We have completed the wire
• drag survey of' the"1 main steamer
,T through this section; and" the charts
now’ show, by a special color, a con
• tinuous area through which ‘Vessels
' eanapass with assurance hat they will
r not'encounter' uncharted ’ shoals or
pinnacle rocks.
“Many uncharted dangers to navi
• gation were revealed by this '1 work,
J the importance of which canhot be
overestimated.'”
Detailing the work of the survey
• ships, Col. Jones says:
■•‘The survey ship Surveyor was em
ployed throughout the year in the
northern part of the Gulf of Alaska.
* ~ Hydrographic surveys were made in
the vicinity of Cape St. Elias and
from Cape Cleare to Cape Resurrec
tion. Triangulation was accomplished
from Cape Cleare to Chiswell islands,
to the head of Nuka bay, and in Port
Hobron. Topography was accom
plished from Point Pyke to Day Har
bor.
“The Explorer was employed on
■ miscellaneous work in Southeastern
% Alaska during the first half of the
year, which included surveys in Keku
Strait, Taku Inlet, Tlevak Strait,
Ho'kham Bay, Kaigani Strait, and
I San Alberto During the latter half
- of the year this ship worked in the
• vicinity of Sitka. Hydrographic and
topographic surveys were made of
Sa’isbury Sound and Kruzof Island
f from Kruzof Sound to Gilmer Kay.
Triangulation was accomplished from
~ SIka Sound to Khaz Bay.”
FFISH INDUSTRY FACES
TROUBLE, SAYS O’MALLEY
’"WASHINGTON.—Some of the
principal sources of food fish are
•' showing alarming declines, Commis
? missioner of Fisheries O’Malley ex
? plained in'his annual report, mention
ing particularly halibut fisheries on
t fl»e North Pacific coast, coast. He
« estimates the yield from banks hali
but formerly frequented has dropped
' to 40 per cent of what it was a few
years ago, while on the Great Lakes
j a somewhat similar diminishing is
1 being faced. Special studies are rec
ommended for these areas next year.
Less difficulty i snoted in the im
‘ portant Atlantic deep-sea fisheries,
• but a serious decline is reported as
rams
io some kinds of fish. O’Malley’s re
port says "the present state of Amer
ica's fisheries should occasion real
concern for their future welfare.
While their total yield has increased
steadily since 1881! there is convinc
ing evidence that many of our great
fisheries .are suffering actual deple
tion.”
The greatest fur-raising enterprise
in the world-«-care of the Pacific seal
herds—is under- the bureau’s direc
tion, and from that source O’Malley
predicted larger future returns. Last
year the seal populaion of the Pribilof
islands increased to 808,870, showing
a gain of 6 -per cent in one year.

The .Tease
The late Governor Austin Paay, of
Tennessee, was a bitter opponent of
evolution, short skirts and bobbed
hair.
At a Baptist supper in .Nashville a
pretty girl tried to tease the stern

“Oh, for the days,” she said, “when
men were men!”
"And women weren’t,” said he.
