Men who live along the Pacific
! Coast, and who at one time might
have been in some section of Al
aska, do not hesitate to call upon
the Delegate to assist them in ad
vancing their claims against the
government, be it for pension, labor
performed, or what not. The lat
est request is from Seattle, where
the Collector of Customs assumes
responsibility for the wrongful sale
of. a sewing machine that was
' shipped to Vancouver but says
| there is no fund from which to
draw to liquidate the obligation.
As a consequence the Delegate is
; requested to get a bill through
Congress to pay the $40 owing. But
lest Senator Jones or Congressman
Horr might feel offended the mat
ter has been referred to them.

Director Patton of the Coast and
Geodetic Survey has issued his re
port for the last fiscal year, and it
is of particular interest to Alaskans
because it tells of the work done in
the North. The party on the Ex
plorer have continued the work in
Behm Canal, north of Ketchikan,
which is now nearly completed. The
party on the Discoverer continued
surveys along the south coast of
Kcnai Peninsula, westward from
Aialik Bay. The surveys have also
been extended southwesteward
across the passages between the
Peninsula and Afognak Island. Sev
eral reported dangers to navigation
have been cleared up in the pas
sage between Shuyak Island and
the Barren Islands. The party on
the ship Surveyor continued sur
veys along the west coast of Kodiak
Island and has completed the sur
vey of Alitak Bay and tributaries.
Surveys are now being extended
eastward along the south coast of
the island toward Sitkaiidak Strait.

Dr. W. C. Marvin, chief of the
United States Weather Eureau. re
cently attended a conference' of
the International Meteorological
Organization in Locarno, Switzer
land. He states that at tills con
ference plans were developed for
intensive study of weather condi
tions in the North Polar regions
during 1932, designed to provide
comprehensive information on air
movements and other meteorologi
cal data as a basis for improvement
of weather forecasting. The Unit
ed States already had provided ex
tra funds for studies in Alaska,
primarily with a view to develop
ment of airways, so increased funds
probably will not be asked. Can
ada is to establish additional sta
