ing tickets to members, either for them
selves or for invited guests.
The custom of bringing friends to these

bic, mora typical of the various interests

wise. 1t is found the applications, how
ever, are apt to be delayed until the last
minute, and, as 2 result a good many
tickets are being sent out today.

| tingency of some member not having re-
ceived the necessary pasteboards before
coming to the hotel there will be a supply

at O'Clock. The lecture for the evening
will be by Prof. Henry S Pritchett. super
intendent of the United States coast and
geodetic survey. on The Results OF Recent
Alaskan Surveys"
The description which is to be given will
refer entirely to the work of the coast and
geodetic survey in Alaska during the past
five years. An inspection OF the general
chart of the coast line Of Alaska shows an
enormous expanse of coast, agGregating
1900 miles.
During the past season topographic sur
vey of the head Of Lynn canal was COM
pleted. which shows the topography Of that
region. When one leaves the seaboard the
country consists of rather narrow valleys.
surrounded by mountains. covered with
glaciers and almost inaccessible The bu-
reau occupied itself largely with the survey
OF the coast in Prince William sound and
along Copper river. and with the surveys
at the mouth of the Yukon. and it is TO
these two surveys that the lecture Will be
principally devoted.
Copper river. breaking through a range
about thirty miles from the coast. comes
down through a series of rapids. forming
an insurmountable barrier to any kind OF
navigation, up stream. except canoes The
work executed by the party at this point
last season consisted of survey Of the
Copper river delta and vicinity including
the shore line and photographic souudings
out to deep water. The present maps were
found to be many miles I'm error.
The survey completed last season in
cluded a triangula;ion extending from st.
Michael's almost to Cape Dyer. with hydro
graphic work through the two principal
channels and extending out 10 the limit OF

I wish TO state that I am in thorough ac-

streets dncluded the most densely populat-
ed square mile on earth, that east of the
Bowery). Lieut.. Jack Solely of the navy
was i'll charge of the entire work-several
hundred miles In all. Col. Warning stated
that he could do good work if he could get
the money to do it. He secured the money.
and i'm my district (as to snow removal

dirtest in America, in my bailiwick

caused much protest on the part of the
