were pleased with what they
saw in Hope is shown by the
favorable comments received in
the write'up of the trip in the
daily papers. The two following
clippings are from the st. Paul

The woman's club of Hope, headed
by Mrs.E. D. Washburn, president,
and Mrs. 4. M. Mclaughlin, widely
known, presented large bouquets of
sweet peas to each. booster, with an
especially massive floral piece in red,

Finley, N. D., July 2B.--Up and
away from Fargo at $50 AM. today,
the Boosters from St. Paul on their
trade tour stopped at Page at 7.30 A.
NJ. The people there were on hand to
extend a welcome, and the special re-
NAMED thirty-fivs minutes. Twenty
minutes were spent in Colgate, town
of 500 population, and next Hope was
reached. There the Boosters were
showered with flowers from one end OF
the town to the other.
When the train pulled out of Hope it
was like great greenhouse ON wheels.
The engine cab and Pullmans were
laden with sweet peas and other flow.
ers.
A. B. Driscoll, chairman OF the
Boosters received bouquet so large
he could hardly carry it.
The reception at Hope shows the
spirit in which the St. Paul business
men are being received. SO deep were
the masses of flowers in Hope that
one have imagined he was in the gar
den spot of Louisiana instead of the
wheattields of North Dakota.
The next town was Blabon, named
after Joe Blabon, formerly of the Great
Northern railroad, and now with the
Chicago Great Western. The Blabon
band Of twenty-four pieces met the
special train at the Great Northern
station. Several hundred persons
we're present.
Blabon Is town of 300 and will
probably be made the county seat OF
Steele county. II is on the edge of the
famous Red river valley and in rich
farming section. Blabon is growing
rapidly and new enterprises are much
needed.

II our conduct, therefore, were under

ry about more than ever is the hun dreds of miles of ship channel which have not been so surveyed.
 In fact it is serious question whether the true conditions sur rounding the navigation of ships in Alaska developed by last seasons wire drag surveys will not increase in- suranee rates and retard development of shipping instead of having the contrary effect as is usually the re suit of successful navigational sur veNs under less startling conditions.
 The only practical remedy for the present unfortunate condition of the charing operations in Alaska is the rapid extension of wire drag surveys of that territory. No wonder that President Wilson has stated that this matter of making adequate provisions for the survey and charting of our coasts, particularly in Alaska, was on his conscience and on the conscience of Superintendent Tittmann of the Coast and Geodetic Survey and all the officers of that service acquaint- ed with the subject, and that they are prepared to push vigorously any wire drag surveys that may be au- thorized by congress.

Washington, Feb 27-The startling Information that 2l dangerous pin nacle rocks in 42 miles of ship chan nel had been discovered in Alaska during tae last season by field en- gineer John A. Daniels of the Coast and Geodetic Survey has been made public by Secretary Of Commerce Red field.
 These rocks were located by means -sf wire drag more than mile long. the wire being supported at the de- eired depths by cables to surface budys and towed along by power boats.
 The ship channels covered by the wire drag survey are located in south. eastern Alaska They form section of the well known inside passage fol- lowed by all steamers going up and down the coast The main thorough fares included in the survey opera tons were l@avillagigodo Channel. Nichols Passage, and Tongass Mar. rows.
 The rock walls of the channels of this part of Alaska are nearly straight up and down, both above and below inc level of the water Depths from 20 to 100 fathoms are within 100 wards Of shore, Yet it was in these waters the 21 dangerous pinnacles were dis, covered.
 One of these rocks is of pyramid shape and rises over 600 feet from the bottom of the channel to within z feet of the surface. It is surround. ed by deep water on all sides and is now located on the chart where a 109 fathoms alongside But he thinks .it is more probable that it came in be- tween two soundings and was missed altogether
 The net resHlt Of the survey opera tlons is covered by the statemen. that r miles Of ship channel having q dangers hitherto unknown and un- eharted are now completely surveyed and made safe for navigation, large result for comparatively small oper- ations. The entire field season of the wire drag survey was included with
