Patton 11 of the Coast and Geodetic Survey . | has just issued the 10th annual re t port of his department. He states , * that our Territorial waters con tain far too many rocks and shoals r named for unfortunate vessels ’ which were wrecked on them be , cause the Bureau had not gone there earlier with the surveys which would have located them in , I a far more orderly and economical ; manner. Fortunately the past de cade has witnessed a marked im provement hi this respect, and the » situation today is better than at l any time during the latter half of • ; the century. x- * * * The Ketchikan School Board and r people' generally of that town are r anxious that the Indian Bureau should establish a public health nurse in Ketchikan to care for the . native children, and if the neces ■ | sary money can be set aside for i i that purpose it will likely be done. 2! Recently one nurse was delegated J [ to look after the children at Wran • i gell and Petersburg. JI Ernest Walker Sawyer hopes to | j induce a large number of men of 1 importance to visit Alaska next 2 summer. Among those who intend J to make the trip are Hon. Charles * C.
