because the rain on Friday caused a
hard crust much like a thin LAYER of

of the Coast Survey where the launches of the Survey can be stored in winter, a vessel kept in commis- sion, and where supplies including coal and fuel can be obtained. It is unfortunate that at the present sta ton in Alaska our vessels are often delayed owing to the fact that Aus tralian and Canadian coal are not available for the vessels of the United States. The establishments of this permanent station in Alaska will do much to facilitate matters land to get into the field more promptly in the spring each year
 Purchase of Dutch Harbor
 'In 1914, 1915, 1916 and 1917 the Department strongly recommended the .desirability of the purchase of Dutch Harbor, Aleutian Islands,, Al aska, as a Federal Government base Up to the present time, while the wisdom of securing this property has been clearly shown. nothing def- mite has been done Dutch Harbor is the old home and village of the North American Commercial Com pany,@ where now the Government wireless station is located. The place is practically abandoned The buildings are in fair state of pres ervation. The harbor is excellent and far better and safer for large vessels to dock than at Unalaska There is an abundance of excellent water which Unalaska lacks There are also good buildings for living quarters of various government off cials. There was never a ,grea ter need than at this time for a Gov ernment base in Western Alaska where coal, fuel and other supplies can be obtained at a7-- time of the year, which under existing conditions is impossible. The idea of making Dutch Harbor an ideal supply sta ton is one that should he o1co',ra gel and the opportunity now presents itself, and if further postnoned the opportunity for carrying out this wise business venture may be lost"
