Survey Of Louisiana.


II. has been some time since the
State Survey has published reports
on geological work now being con-
Quoted under State auspices.
The reason for this is not that work
has not been going on since 1903, the
date of the last report: but that the
time 1t the disposal of Prof. Harris,
geologist-in-charge, has been SO
occupied when out of the State that
no manuscript could be properly
prepared and seen through the press.
The time heretofore given to field
work In Louisiana has been but three
months annually and no allowance
for time for preparing and publishing
reports has been given.
Now, however, by . recent arrange
ment, v months annually are to
be spent on Louisiana geology and
the manuscript reports are being pre-
pared and pri ated while field work is
going on.
Hereafter, instead of waiting to
complete q biennial report, its various
parts will be published first as Bulle-
tins Of the Geological Survey of
Louisiana as soon as the data for the
same are ready.
Accordingly Bulletins No. l and
No. ? are now in press and will be
issued shortly.
No. l takes up and discusses the
available underground water supply
OF the State. 1t contains 10 plates
and maps and about $50 pages of text.
No. ? deals with a. very different,
yet highly important topic to en-
gineers, surveyors and land-hOlders.
It is entitled. ''The Terrestrial Mag
netic and Meridian Line Work in
louisiana"
No one who has ever surveyed with
q compass, or owned lands surveyed
by that instrument, can help feeling a
satisfaction in knowing that we now
have established at each parish seat a
true meridian line, one by which any
surveyor can see what the variation
of his needle is at any time and by
comparing with the actual variation
Is determined by coast survey in
struments, he can see what the index
error of his own instrument is.
Nos. 3, 4 and 5, on the Oil, Salt and
Ignite of the State are nearly COM
pleted; likewise one on the limestones
Of the State. Detailed topographic
maps of each oil field have been made,
some with contour intervals rs close
sas two feet.
At present Prof. Harris and his
assistant, Mr.. Pacheco, are establ-
ishing . tide-guage on Weeks Island
In cooperation with the U. S. Coast
and Geodetic Survey. The same is
run by clockwork and records the
height Of tide continuously. Ar
rsngements have been made to keep
this work up for at least three years,
and by so doing an extremely accurate
Mean Gulf Level can be determined.
The main object in this is % furnish,
BY precise leveling, a series of ac-
curate benchmarks along the southern
part Of the State for the use Of local
engineers and surveyors and also to
furnish = precise record from which
some years hence it may be sscer-
tanned just how fast and in which way
IL land surface is moving: /. e.. up
Or down.
Arrangements have already been
MAIDS for taking up the subject Of
clsys and rosd materials in this
Stste, and bulletins on these subjects
win appear within = years time.

We take pleasure in calling the at
tention of the union men Of Duluth and
the entire Northwest to the name of
the Alger-Smith Lumber company, a
concern which is worthy Of the sup
port and encoura cement of all intel
igent workmen. The record of this
splendid company shows clearly that
the officers have in all their dealings
with labor been actuated by principles
OF fairness and justice. A concern
which pursues a policy Of this kind
is almost sure to have a. steady and
healthy growth. The manager Of this
company, Mr.. John Millen, is held in
high esteem by his employers and Is
one of our most progressive citizens.
1t has always been our object to
show that in order to bring about the
best prosperity that is possible, it is
necessary for the two great forces
to keep in sight at all times the
fact that their interests are mutual
and that whatever tends to disturb
the welfare Of the one necessarily re-
fleets injuriously upon the other. When
company pursues a policy of strict fair
with labor, that company should re-
ceive the hearty support and encourage
ment not only Of their own employees,
but also of all fair-minded citizens.
The Alger-Smith company is entitled
to the support and cooperation of the
union men of this city, and we take
pleasure in placing the name Of the
Alger-Slnith company foremost among
the concerns of our city who are strong
and substantial friends of conservative
organized labor.
