WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Secretary of Commerce Redfield made the official announcement today that practical navigabe channel from the Boring sea into the mouth of the Kuskollwim river had been discovered by Captain Lukens of the Coast and Geodetic Survey.
 The Kuskokwim is the second great est river in Alaska. It is miles wide at it's mouth and navigable for over GOO miles inland The great submerged flats of the delta of this river extend 100 miles out to sea, and it was through this uncharted delta that the surveying steamer "Yukon" made the discovery of the channel which means SD much to the commerce of that section of Alaska
 The Kuskokwim is one of the three great Alaskan rivers emptYinG into the Bering sea which has been opened to commerce as result of the charting operations of the Coast and Gcodctic Survey The mouth of the Yukon was surveyed In 1898 and in a few years that river became one of the greatest commercial arteries of Alaska In 1909 and 1910 Nushag gak Bay was chartcd and now the Kuskokwim. by far the most dreaded and unknown of these rivers, will no longer he a menace or mystery to the navigator who has one of the new charts of it's entrance about to be issued by the Coast and Geodetic Survey

Some Difficulties of the Survey.

The survey of the Rering Sea in the vicinity of the Kusltokwim was started in 1911 and continued the following summers of 1912 and 1913 But if was not until the past field season that a surveying vessel succeeded in tracing and charting channels through the great area of the submerged mud flats which make up the delta of the Kusk- okwim.
 In making the survey, Captain Lu- kens reports he took 14,256 soundings covering an area of over 100 square miles. This in itself is quite an achieve ment when considered in connection with the customary bad weather in Alaska and the fact that in some in stances it was necessary to locate soundings by observations on noun tain peaks more than 60 miles distant. The whole working season was con fined to S3 days and in July alone 291a of these days were lost on account of the weather being either bad or not sufficiently clear to see the distant surveying marks

Beginning to Economic.
st. Joseph Gazette

From the st. Joseph Gazette.
The warning lands are inaugurating
strict regulations to prevent waste of
foodstuffs and other necessities of life.
1t has been thought that European peo-
pie were at all times economical, but
there is now found need for saving
greater than they ever before have ex-
perenced.
1t would be profitable circumstance
which, did it not necessitate bloodshed
or destruction of property, might lead
Americans to also practice economy at
this time. We waste enough to provide
for another nation as large as our own.
We spend unnecessarily enough to sup
port with the necessaries of life yet
another people as numerous as our
own. And were we to cut off the waste
and the unnecessary expenditures. our
existence would not be. could not be,
zone whit less pleasant than now.
Economy is sometimes hard. 1t very
often brings sacrifice and humiliation
which make burdens difficult to bear
in contentment of spirit. But these
instances of enforced and painful saw
ing are not nearly SO numerous as are
the cases of wanton extravaganza
which afford no one pleasure, nor have
any effect excepting that of strength
ening bad habits of living.
