ANNUAL REPORT OF CAPTAIN R.
S. PATTON OUTLINES ACTI
VITIES IN ALASKA
_i_
| In his annual report to the Secre
tary of Commerce for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1929, just is
sued, Captain R. S. Patton, direc
| tor, calls attention to the fact that
the United States Coast and Geo
detic Survey was organized 113
| years ago for the purpose of survey
ing the coasts and harbors of the
United States, including adjacent
shoals. From a small beginning the
scope of its operations has grown
with our country until it now oper
ates thruout the vast extent of the
! United States and its off-lying ter
ritories.
me report lists six new nautical
j charts for Alaskan waters published
I during the fiscal year, namely, Lit
juya Bay on the south coast of the
following charts of southeast Alas
ka: Southern Entrance to Sumner
|Strait; Salisbury Sound and Peril
j Strait to Emmons Island; Tebenkof
Bay, Chatham Strait; and Cape
[Edward to Lisianski Strait, west
coast of Chichagof Island. New edi
tions of charts, in conformity with
the latest survey data, were also is
sued during the year for Wrangell
Narrows; Dixon Entrance to Cape
1st Elias; Southern part of Dali Is
land; and the Arctic Coast of Alas
jka. Additional new charts are in
progress.
! Surveys in southeastern Alaska,
jin general, are keeping pace with
the need of charts. While conditions
in western Alaska are not so satis
factory as to provide for surveys
and new charts exceed the ability
to provide them, it is believed that
| the situation is not critical and can
be corrected within a few years by
a reasonable addition to the facili
ties that now exist or have been au
thorized.
Operations in southwestern Alas
kan waters were greatly facilitated
by the use, for the first time in [
Alaska, of the radio-aecoustic
method of position finding. As an
example of the efficiency of this
method is cited the fact that one
ship, working off Prince William!
Sound, was idle to make hyrdogra- [
phic surveys of considerable area j
during one week of hfcick weather j
that would have entirely prevented !
work with methods previously avail- ;
able. By means of the apparatus for
radio-accoustic position finding,
the distances of which are known
accurately, are measured by record
ing the time required for sound to
travel thru water from the ship to
the stations on shore and return
automatically by radio.
In connection with its Coast Pilot
wuj.iv, me oureau staii nas compiled
a new publication containing tables
of distances between United States
ports. There are readily available
in this popular volume the dis
tances between more than 30,000
ports and points on inland water
ways in the United States and its
possessions, including a number of
distances to foreign ports.
Hydrographic surveys were made
during the fiscal year 1929 in Alas
kan waters as follows:
In southwest Alaska the party on
the survey ship Surveyor completed
a large off-shore area southwest
of Montague Island. This work ex
tended off-shore to Portlock Bank.
Surveys were also made by this
party in the approaches to Resur
rection Bay and in Harris and Two
Arm Bays. A survey made in Sitka
lidak Strait, Kodiak Island, by a
sub-party of the Surveyor disclosed
a passage which shortens the
steamer track of vessels approach
ing Port Hobron from the westward
by approximately 40 miles. At the j
end of the fiscal year the party on
this vessel had taken up work on
the north and west coast of Kodiak
Island and was engaged on surveys
in Shelikof Strait and in Uganik, j
Uyak, Zachar and Alitak Bays.!
While working at this project the 1
party wire-dragged the area where
[the steamer Aleutian was wrecked !
and discovered ike existance of un
| charted rock in that locality.
The report states that primary
i tide stations were maintained at ■
'Seward, Ketchikan and Valdez. The
flatter station was discontinued on
October 4, 1923, the observations
j obtained being sufficient for the I
purpose for which the station was
|established. Including stations
J temporarily maintained, there were
|17 stations in operation in Alaskan
| Territory during hte year. A sys
tematic and comprehensive current
survey was also completed during
the year of southeastern Alaska,
The five magentic observatories
of the bureau were continued in op
eration and observations were ob
tained at 96 stations in the field.
The latter include several points in
| the Interior of Alaska never before
; reached for this purpose. New
methods which facilitate observa
tions were adopted at several ob
servatories. Other operations in
Ielude special auroral observations
at Sitka.
Noteworthy progress was also
made in the organization of volun
teer observers for the collection of
reports on seismology, and seismo.
logical observations were obtained
at Tucson, Ariz., and Sitka, Alaska,
thruout the year.
NEW FIRES RAGING
GRANT PASS, Ore., Dec., 5, (/P)—
Seven serious new fires raged in
forests of southwestern Oregon.
The Gold Beach fire reported to
have been controlled, was said to
have broken out anew. Communica
tion with most fire frontiers was
interrupted as the flames having
destroyed telegraph and telephone
lines reports from most fronts were
meager but indicate that fires
were serious.
