NEED FOR CHANNEL SURVEY
It’s encouraging to the people of Kodiak that Cap
tain R. R. Lukens of the U- S. Geodetic Survey Ship
Surveyor and Captain Gilje of the Admiral Liner Ad
miral Evans heartily approve the plan for the survey
of the south entrance to St. Paul Island which fronts
Kodiak town. Captain Gilje says it would be a great
help to the navigators, and Captain Lukens is reported
to have said that he can readily see the need of such a
survey and would be glad to act if the department would
issue such an order.
There is a good channel going out of Kodiak to the
south, it is said but it has never been charted or marked.
Under present conditions vessels coming into the
Erskine and Standard Oil dock or proceeding to the
cannery are forced to turn around in a narrow channel
to go out the same way. If the other channel was known
they could proceed on southward saving several miles
going around Long Island, and in the same way a sav
ing would be made by vessels coming north, let alone
the vexatious and sometimes dangerous business of
turning around at a mooring scarcely more than a
ship’s length wide.
Many novel excuses have been offered by citizens
who try to evade jury duty, but an Iowa man recently
advanced one which is probably unique. He declared
that inasmuch as his wife had been drawn on the jury
he could not serve, because no agreement would be
possible.
A Chinaman plans to make a non-stop flight to
America. Well, so long as we do not have to read an ad
dress of welcome to him in his own language, he has our
consent to land in Seward
There are two stampedes scheduled for this
month. One is that Sourdough Stampede to Seattle
and the other is that Homeseekers Stampede to Alaska.
Hope they don’t get milling around there in Pioneer
Square and forget that we’d like to shake hands again
with the old-timers and give the first grasp of fellow
ship to the chechakos.
Mrs- Susan Cook of Butler county, Pennsylvania,
still takes a lively interest in what is going on, although
she is 103. Asked her opinion of the modern flapper, she
said: “Girls of 1846 had just as much fun as the girls
of 1929.”
It would appear that the present-day prospector
(many exceptions of course) must be taught the. dif
ference between spelling “quartz” and “quarts.”

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug., 8, (/P)—
L. S. Cates, vice-president and gen
eral manager of the Utah Copper
company, believes that the con
tinued prosperity of the copper in
dustry is assured by major electri
fication programs and the growing
u~e for copper in building construc
tion.
“Since the year 1919,” he says,
“the copper industry has been
struggling along under the handi
cap of low prices and it was not
until the end of 1928 that any relief
was in sight.
“When it is remembered that j
during the pre-war years, 1912 and j
1913, copper was selling for about i
16 cents a pound, and that during
the last eight years the average
price has not been more than 13.5
cents, and fell to 11.6 cents in Aug
ust 1921, it is gratifying to know
that copper has taken a place in
the market commensurate with its
cost of production.
“Many copper properties were
closed during the period just men
tioned, as these operations could
not survive so long a period of de- j
pression. For a time it was a case !
of survival of the fittest.
“Those properties that could keep |
their heads above water were:
forced to do so on a curtailed basis, I
as demands seemed invariably to
be less than the amount that could
be produced, and unsold inventor
ies were in most cases rising to un
business like proportions.”
The Admirality Coal7 Co., in
Southeastern Alaska, will con
tinue to operate, it was decided
by a meeting of stockholders,
and the development program
will start immediately.
