COAST AND GEODETIC
SURVEY TO BE AIDED III
WORK DE OSS GARNET
Enroute to map the area which
lies along the southern shore of
the Alaska Peninsula in the vicin
ity of Chignik Bay, Shelikof Strait
and the northern shore of Kodiak
Island, the USS Gannet and two
planes of the Alaskan Survey Ex
pedition arrived in Seward Satur
day afternoon and will remain here
for several days.
The Secretary of Commerce re
quested the Navy to assist the
Coast and Geodetic Survey in mak
ing an aerial photographic survey
of this portion of southwestern Al
aska because the coast in this vi
cinity is so rugged and is exposed
to heavy wave attack that survey
by the usual ground methods is
extremely difficult. It was hoped
however, that by the use of planes
and aerial photography that the
entire area can be successfully
mapped and that they can be com
pleted by September 1. The pho
tographs obtained will be turned
over to the Coast and Geodetic
Survey, and charts and maps pre
pared by that office.
When the Navy was asked to help
the Coast and Geodetic Survey in
this Alaskan work, the Alaskan
Survey Expedition was organized
to perform the work. Robert H.
Harrell, U. S. Navy, is commanding
the expedition and he will keep in
close cooperation with Rear Ad
miral E. II. Campbell, U. S. Navy,
Commandant of the 13th Naval
District.
The expedition consists of the
aircraft tender Gannet and two
amphibian photographic planes,
the Seward and the Unalaska. Both
planes bear the insignia of a Ko
diak bear rampant on an icefloe
before a surveyor’s transit. Both
planes are equipped with the latest
instruments for navigation and ap
pliances for safety. They are iden
tical Loening amphibians with
Pratt-Whitney 450 h.p. Wasp mo
tors.
Besides Lieutenant Harrell, the
expedition is officered by L. L.
Rowe, commanding the Gannet;
Lieut. H. B. Muchinson, expert
aerologist, executive officer of the
U. S. Naval Air Station at Seattle;
Lieut. J. P. W. Vest; Lieut. R. W.
j Hege, Navy Medical Corps; Ensign
| J. F. Tenney, Navy Supply Corps;
s Chief Boatswains E. Swisher, E. E.
1 Reber, and A. D. Holland and Chief
Machinist H. C. Mecklenburg.
The personnel of the expedition,
including aviation mechanics and
photographers, consists of about 60
men.
In addition to the surveying
work, it is hoped to obtain meteor
ological data of considerable inter
est, because, through the use of
planes, upper air observations can
also be made in this little known
part of the world.
A report came to Kodiak on April
| 23 to the effect that Mrs- Dick Nov
ikoff had fallen from a cliff near
j Uyak and was killed. April 26, The
Gateway’s correspondent was in-!
formed of the truth of the report.
The deceased is the wife of Dick
Novikoff who has lived on Seven
Mile beach about 30 years. He has
| a ranch there on which he has
at this time, 14 head of cattle. He
kills one or two each year and
sells the meat to nearby canneries.!
As an additional means of sub
sistence, he can, and when he feels j
like it, rock from the gold-bearing
alluvial gravels of the beach, $2
or $3 every day.
Mrs. Novikoff was a native Alas
kan, born at Allamar, Alaska, and
was about 55 years of age.

OFFICIAL MOVEMENT
Nenana ice pool tickets, marked
May 1, 10:15 a. m-, were worth a
considerable fortune to this year’s
holders for that is understood to
have been the time which the an
nual breakup occurred this year
and thus entitles the holders to
a share of the ice pool fund.
It is said that there were three
winners this year, with Heinie Ber
ger, master of the MS Discoverer,
being one of the winners. J. M.
Clarke is said to have been the sec
ond winner but the third winner’s
name has not been learned. It is
estimated that when the pool is
split, each one will receive well
over $15,000.
Last year the ice also went out on
a Sunday—May 10—and as was the
case this year, the pool was split
three ways.
The motor vessel Northwestern,
John Colberg, master, arrived in
Seward Saturday from Seldovia.
O. E. Anson, also a skipper, accom
panied the Northwestern to Sew
ard. Anson installed a new diesel
engine in the Northwestern while
that vessel was in Seldovia. The
Northwestern will fish for the local
cannery when the season opens.
Mrs. Margaret Kelley, former
Seward girl, nee Margaret Ness,
who has been visiting with her
aunt, Mrs. Chas. Gilliland, in Sew
ard for a couple of weeks, left on
the SS Admiral Evans for Cordova
where she will visit with her mo
ther.

it does matter . . . the kind of

YOU DON’T pay so much for your
cigarettes but what you can afford
to smoke the best. It’s a question then,
of what is the best.
CHESTERFIELD Cigarettes are differ
ent from other cigarettes. They’re unlike
all the others, in that they’re milder.
CHESTERFIELD Cigarettes taste bet
ter. That’s to say... they are not raw
... and neither are they over-sweet.
CHESTERFIELD Cigarettes have a fine
aroma and a taste that’s altogether right.
CHESTERFIELD Cigarettes are pure.
Everything that science knows is done
to make them pure. They are just as
pure as the food you eat . . . just as
pure as the water you drink.
Chesterfield Cigarettes come to
you just as fresh as if you went by
the factory every morning.
