Professor Dopid,on May Head the Coast
Ge0drtic SuI req.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. lit is
now pretty we'll settled that there will be
good many changes made i'll the Coast
Land Geodetic Survey. General Dutfield,
the superintendent. will be removed. He
has not been a popular official, as soon
after he was Installed he appointed his
son to responsible position, and at the
same time removed m who were old IN
the service, among whom were Professor
George W. Davidson of San Francisco.
1t is said that the changes will not be
made hastily. General Duffield's sue
cessor will be a scientific man, and politi-
cal nsiderations will not influence the
President in making the selection. Pro-
lessor Davidson's friends in Washington
hope that he Will be applicant for the
place, and believe that he would stand an
excellent chance for it on account of his
experience in Alaska. They think that
the gold discoveries and the consequent
importance of Alaska-a com paratively
unexplored country-would be a con-
sderation greatly in his favor, and with
hearty support from Pacific Coast people
he would stand good chance to receive
the appointment.
