NEW CONTOUR MAP OF
ALASKA JUST COMPLETED

Interest in Alaska due to the find
ing of gold in that far northern
land has led TO thorough inyestiga-

ton of the government with the result
that many parts that were never be-
fore explored have been visited and

OF this work map of Alaska on a
scale of 40 miles to the inch has just
been completed by the United States
geographical survey. 1t is the first
contour map of Alaska yet made. the
relief being shown by contour lines
representing vertical intervals of l.
600 feet. In the construction of this
map, which was prepared by Il. C..
Barnard topographer, all available
information was used. The maps of
the United States coast and geodetic
survey, covering southeastern Alaska
and the coast, were extensively util-
lied. Within the coast line the map
is based principally on surveys and re-
connaissance maps made by the geo.
logical survey. Other sources of in
formation We're the maps of the army,
the navy, the revenue marine service.
and the British government. After all
the authoritative data had been used
there still remained large areas where
the topographic features had to be
based upon such general Information
as could be obtained. st
The map will be printed in colors,
the streams, lakes, and glaciers being
shown in blue, the cultural features
in black, and the contour lines in
brown.
The characteristic features of Alas
ka topography are well shown by the
map. At glance one sees the deep,
river-like fiords in the southeastern
part; the bold, almost precipitOus,
front presented to the north Pacific
ocean by the ST. Elias range; the deep
interior valleys. scarcely more than
a thousand feet above the sea; the
Alaskan range, with its eliminating
peak, Mount Mckinley. 10000 feet in
altitude; the great valley of the Yu-

Resignation voluntary.

Resignation Voluntary.
During the last IA wears Rev. j. Jes-
person has done faithful and excellent
service at Augustana college as bust
ness manager. During the last II
years he has also been treasurer. BY
his capacity and industry, by his read
mess to meet emergencies at critical
points in the history of the institu-
ton, by his arduous endeavors and
untiring labors for the advancement
of it's best interests. he has earned
the deepest and lasting gratitude of
all its friends and supporters.
During the last year Rev. Jesperson
has indicated his intention of with
drawing from his present position.
At the last meeting of the board he
handed in his resignation, giving the
directors to understand they would
have nothing else to do but to accept
the same. 1t came as a perfect sur
prise to the board, and the statement
made in the papers that he resigned
lin accordance with the decision on
the part of the board to abolish the
office" is entirely without foundation.
The report that he had decided to re-
move to Chicago, there to embark in
business, is also incorrect.
The whole institution regrets that
Rev. Iesperson did not see his way
clear to retain his present position,
which he has filed with such marked
ability. Faculty, students and his
host of friends in the vicinity and
elsewhere wish him much success in
the future and join in hearty thanks
for the years of effective service he
has rendered to the noble cause of
upbuilding a great institution in our
midst

Wages Rather Than Rations.

If reports from the western reserva-
tions are to be believed, some of the
Indian wards of Uncle Sam have un-
dergone a radical change of sentiment
with reference to labor and govern :
ment rations. There is growing
feeling among the Indians, it is said.
that they would do better to draw
wages for working than to draw musty
government stores in comparative idle
ness. The initiative in this respect
has been taken by Montana Indians,
who declare that they want to work
now for wages, wherever they can
find employment. and not be longer

character are apt to suffer revision

dians have passed the cold handout
period and now propose to rise as
one great buck and seek the privilege
of collecting the money which they
claim as their wages rather than to
continue to accept regular rations at
the hands of the government. The
Indian, surrounded as he is by the
commercial accessories of civilization,
has learned to know the difference be-
tiopal wsmpum, and the closer &C.
quainted he becomes with the white
mans wampum, the more of it he
wants. This is human nature, and
we cannot deny the Indian his human
nature.
