MANY MILES OF
COAST BEEN
Included in the important work com
pleted by the United States coast and
geodetic survey service the last sum
mer and early fail was Ihe charting
of "one of the lonesomest stretches of
land in the entire north,” the west
coast of Mall island, southeastern Alas
ka. from Mears passage to Dixon en
trance. and as far off shore as Fores
ter island. This was accomplished by
officers of the United States steam
ship explorer, Captain F. II. Hardy,
which has just returned from the
north.
The Fxplorer made Ketchikan her
supply base and i'ort Kazan her head
quarters as a mooring ground at night
and in stormy weather.
As the west coast of Dali Island
is uninhabited it is a hunter's para
dise, and the men of the survey party
put in their time bagging big game.
Three black bears of enormous size,
the skins of which will probably re
main aboard the Explorer as trophies
of the cruise, were brought to Seat
tle. About twenty-five deer also were
killed and the officers and crew of
the vessel had venison for breakfast,
dinner and supper.
Captain Hardy had three survey
parties at work besides the one from
the ship, and about forty miles of coast
line was covered. The launch Cos
mos and two smaller working launches
were used.
The Explorer left Seattle April 4,
and was in the north more than six
months, the greater part of which was
spent on the isolated coast of Dali is
land. Nine officers and forty six men
were aboard the vessel.
Captain L. O. Gilbert, who was in
charge of the wire drag party No. 4,
operating the power schooners King
and Winge and the launches Gony and
Wanick.
This survey party worked in Sum
ner strait in the vicinity of Wrangell
and off Cape Decision.
Off Point St. Algans, in Sumner
strait in the path of navigation a rock
with eighteen feet of water over it
at low tide was discovered, and in
Ernest sound at the north end of Deer
island another rock with nineteen feet
of water over it at low tide was '
charted.
Wire drag party No. 3 has been
working between Ketchikan and
Wrangell, using the tug Equator and
the launches Roosevelt and Sunrise.
Captain E. E. Smith and the survey
party has been working on Prince
William sound with headquarters at
Cordova.
The United States coast and geo
detic survey steamship Patterson, Cap
tain C. O. Quillian, has been working
in Clarence strait, Ernest sound and
on the west side of Zarembo island,
making her headquaufers at Wrangell.

The Range With a Reputation
Great Majestic
There is as much difference i n Ranges as there is in horses. All
Ranges have flues, ovens, ash pan s, etc. You can’t judge a Range
from a printed description any more than you can judge a horse that
way. You have to see them to un derstand why one is cheap at the
price, and another Is dear at any price. See the MAJESTIC display
at our store.
