ing it to be a rare hide. Jim paid only
I $20 for the skin, and has written to
all his friends to stop work and go •

; tan markings on the brest and feet.
Miss Julia Durkee left on the last

JONES EXPLAINS
CHART SHORTAGE
-FUNDS LACKING
The following communication was
received in the last mail from K.
Lester Jones, superintendent of lho
coast and geodetic survey:
Editor of the Seward Gateway,
Seward, Alaska.
My dear Sir:
in vour issue of March 3rd, 1 no*o
that vou have a notice in your paper
entitled ‘‘Ihe (j*>'ornmont lias stopped
issue of Maps, Coast Pilots* These
are withheld on account of war dan
ger.”
This is true as far as our stopping!
our distribution of charts to the pub
lie, but is solely on account of the
fact of the lack of equipment and per
sonnel, and funds that we are uruib’e
to supply any more than the navy de
mands. ,
Therefore, as to the merchant marine
and public in general, we are unable
i to meet their requirements, even
though they pay for this information.
I thoroughly realize the deplorable
condition, and I further appreciate the
fact that while Alaska needs every
assistance and incentive to further its
development, and especially is it
necessary to give information relative
to its vast water areas, we are not
able to do it The territory is upper
most in my mind, and as s«*»n as we
can renew the distribution of our
charts Alaska shall get her share.
In the meantime I am doing my
best to get the necessary funds from
congress. I am, very truly yours,
E. LESTER JONES,
Superintendent.

‘UNIVERSITY WILL i
AID IN EVENT OF
NATIONAL CRISIS
Survey of Laboratory and
Knowledge of Students
to be Made
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON,
March.—In case of war between the
United States and a foreign power,
the state university buildings and
grounds and the technical skill of all
its departments will be offered to the
federal government.
President Suzzallo has also been
empowered by the regents to make a
survey of the students and alumni in
order to determine what technical
skill can be mustered.
In case of a crisis 810 university
students could be mustered in if they
could pass the physical tests, says
Captain William T. Patten, command
ant of cadets. At least 50 men at the
university would be available as of
ficer, says Captain Patten.
Specialists in all branches of engi
neering could be drawn from the de
partments of engineering to con
truct communicating lines to repair
transport cars, assist in the wireless
stations, help solve the transportation
problems and turn lathes in the shops.
Several powder men and specialists
in sapping and fortification work
could be drawn from the school of
mines.
An ambulance corps of .‘tt)0 could
possibly be drawn from the present
student body and the alumni, accord
ing to Dr. D. Hall, director of physi
cal education for men.
Dr. Horace G. Byers, head of the
chemistry department, has received
permission from the board of regents
to turn Bagley hall over to the Red
Cross association for the purpose of
making many of the chemical com
pounds that would be necessary in
time of war and that could not be
bought on the open market.
The class in advanced surveying un-!
der Samuel L. Boothroyd, professor of i
astronomy, could be used in tunneling.!
sapping, navigating the air and water
and in other Vork pertaining to high
\y wovk.
