•| (By W.A.S.)—Director R. S. 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.

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. Moore, Commissioner of the
11 General Land Office; Hon. John H.

[ Interior; Edward - C. Finney, So
i J licitor of the Department of In

i The Washington Star has been
1 asked which Territory was admit

[ Alaska. The answer was that Ha
i wTaii was admitted in 1900 while
| Alaska assumed the status of a
| Territory in 1912 — when Judge
i Wickersham was the Delegate.
