SURVEY OF ALASKAN WATERS
Operations That Have Been Carried
on During the Season

inc several parties under the direction of
the coast and geodetic survey who have
been engaged in the examination and sur
vey of Alaskan waters during the past sea-
son, have just arrived at Seattle The on
eratiohs were carried on principally at the
mouth of the Yukon river. Golovin bay
cape Nome and Port Safety, and developed
many facts which will be of value to COM
| mercial and shipping interests in this sec
| ton.
| Inc coast survey steamer Patterson made
careful search for the so-called mud
| Jumps OF the Yukon flats running 5000
miles or soundings. The mud Jumps proved
| to be long pointed shoal extending twenty
| miles to sea The coast line of the central
| part of the Yukon delta was discovered to
De ten miles further to the westward than
previously charted. The river is twenty-five
miles longer to Andreafski from the mouth
| than supposed, and has depth of from
| rfty to eighty-five feet, with occasional
| crossings in the channel of not over five
| feet In depth The shore line of the entire
delta was mapped distance of ninety
miles.
! A survey of Golovin bay proper showed
| that bay to be navigabe for vessels with
| draft of sixteen feet up 70 the inside
spit; also the lower bay and sound was
| round to be safely navigabe for seagoine
vessels instead of being filled with shoal
| as heretofore charted. The Patterson also
| discovered and surveyed a bay named Port
! Safety, two miles wide and three mills
| long, situated about twelve miles north of
| Cape Nome bay. which affords the only
| place of safety for vessels with a draft of
not over eight feet in that vicinity. A sys-
| TEN of range beacons was established at
| thiS point TO serve as a safe pilotage
! through the inlet into the inner harbor.

The procession. whose distinguishO,
feature was 500 girls wearing wbits

hours later. The streets were pailv
decorated with Cuban and American
flags, and though the interest ran hiob
there was no disorder of any kind.

JosEPHrs BILL PASSED.
Ia to Reform Management of the State
Insane Asylum.

Insane Asylnm'
Salem, Or, Jan. 20. -Josephi's bill
to reform the system OF management OF
the state insane asylum, putting the
institution in the hands of four trustees
appointed by and to act with the gov
ernor, was passed by the senate this
afternoon by vote of 81 to 6, after
debate of an hour and half. BY
still larger vote, Drivers bill authoriz-
ing county courts to employ county
prisoners on public roads was passed.
The defeat of Mulkey's resolution
to limit the introduction of bills to
the 25th day OF the session and an in-
timation that the matter of the Loewen-
berg contract at the state penitentiary
would be Ieopened were interesting
incidents of the senate proceedings
In the house, six bills were passed,
including one carrying an appropria-
ton of $25, 900 for building and operat-
ing salmon hatcheries, and bill to
appropriate $500 for buying and
operating the fax mill at the peniten-
tiary was introduced.
OIneI ulllb pdSeeu WeIo CCilin"h
bills legalizing marriages contracted
within the six months limit, and
amending the code relative to actions
for recovery of personal property 30
that the defendant, where property is
claimed by third party. may surren-
der the same into the custody of the
court; the Ross bill to abolish private
seals, and Mort0n's bill to cure defects
in deeds heretofore made.
Many bills were put through FORMAL
readings in both houses. This has been
by far the busiest day of the session,
and great amount of work has been
accomplished.
Considerably out of the usual order
was the proposition of John H. Albert
to exchange an eligible full block of
land adjoining the present blind school

to the hospital, and the state would at
the same time get more room for the
accommodation of the blind. The petit
tion went to the printer unde, the

worth $1,750.
