Scientists Plan Cool Trip
for Warm Summer Days
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Apr. 14—A j
scientific expedition to the little j
known chain of Aleutian Islands off1
Ihe coast of Alaska is the task this I
summer of a special field party of;
the coast and geodetic survey, to be j
aided by the coast guard.
Equipped with modern apparatus,
tiie party will be picked up by the
coast guard, which will land it on
one island of the group, resume its
patrol work and later pick up the
party and take it to another of the
Aleutians.
The program of the party, which j
is to leave Seattle aboard the coast j
guard cutter Haida April 15. is to j
make a preliminary survey to col- j
lect data useful in a more thorough
survey; to obtain magnetic obser
vations, including determination of
possible local magnetic disturbance
due to the character of the rocks; to
determine acurate positions by as
tronomical observations; to operate
an automatic tide guage, whenever !
1
conditions warrant, and to make to- j
pographic surveys of the harborsi
and collect coast pilot information. ;
The new radio method will be used j
in getting hitherto doubtful longi
tudes, by making observations on
stars and receiving radio signals,
and calculating the difference in time
between the transmitting station and i
place of observation.
The party will consist of Lieut.
G. C. Jones, Ensign J. C. Bose and
two men, all specially selected.

days and even weeks this season ac
cording to statements of interior par
ties arriving on yesterday’s train
Never in the history of the river has
the ice been so thick and smooth as
this year. At places they declare the |
river is undoubtedly frozen to the bot- j
tom, and at others at least six to sev- j
en feet of ice are found.
