Jack M’Cord Emphasizes
Help Geodetic Survey
Betore leaving on the Admiral Wat
son for Anchorage last night, Jack
McCord again emphasized the impor
tance of the Geologic Survey to all
Alaskans, stating that many strikes
had been made by following the ad
vice of this prominent department.
Since the death of Alfred Brooks, Mr.
Capps has been at the head of the de
partment, and he also is greatly inter
ested in Alaskan mineralogy.
Mr. McCord declared that the mem
bers of the Geologic Survey had vol
untarily cut the appropriations of the
department from S150.000 tto S75.000
during the war, but this sum now was
not enough to allow the usual com
plement of men in the field. He ask
ed that the Seward chamber of com
merce co-operate with all chambers
in the Territory in securing the full
appropriation lor the department as
its members were prohibited from ask
ing or lobbying for an increase.

formed by Mr. Frank Reid, while in
Anchorage this week, that his com

expending of nearly $200,000 for dam,
generators and power lines, and will

revolutions per minute will be used,
and it is estimated that 25,000 horse
power will be developed. Seward
will benefit from this project, accord
ing to Mr. Reid, as several contracts
for poles will be let in this vicinity.
