Les ter Jones, Director of that service. Who is in Juneau with the Lydonia. Col. Jones says this is necessary il order that the Coast and Geodetic Survey may give to Alaska the ser vice that conditions warrant.
 It is tlG contention of Col. Jones that whenever there is discovery of a hidden rock or reef 1t should be on the charts as soon as possible, and he proposes to have a survey boat in reach so that it may proceed immediately after such a discovery to secure the necessary data for the charts.
 It is Col. Jones' purpose to visit the work in Alaska every year. He is convinced that it is only in that way he and the Coast and Geodetic service can be of the greatest ser vice to Alaska. Col Jones is q

firm believer in the merit of first hand information. He believes that cabinet members Vor heads of bureaus which have work in Alaska should visit the Territory frequently and be come acquainted with the. people and the resources and needs of the coun try that they may understandingly rule ,on matters that are brought be- fore them, and so they may be able to bring things to Alaska instead of compelling Alaska to go after them all the time.
 Col Jones has been one of the most consistent and persistent friends of Alaska at Washington fol many years, according to those who have visited the capital in the inter ests of the Territory. He has freely given his time, wide acquaintance and influence to advance the mater ial welfare of the Northland. Col Jones, who is accompanied by Mrs. Jones and their daughters

WIDE OIL AREA
 SAID TO EXIST
 IN WEST FIELDS
Captain Finnegan Predicts Development of Field
 Comparable to Texas

That oil formations will be un- covered from Cook Inlet to Chignik and as far as the Kuskokwim, is the belief of Capt. J. J. Finnegan, of Seward who is visiting Juneau in connection with his interests in the Cold Bay Oil fields. The Cold Bay district, in which Capt. Finne gan has filed for oil leasing permits, he says, is apparently but a small zone of a large field which stretch es away to the west. It is a flat, level plain for hundreds of miles and in the opinion of many oil men, will eventually prove to be similar to the great Texas and Louisiana fields.
 Everything is looking favorable in the Cold Bay region and many claims have been located, some parts of the field being almost cov- cred. but in others there has been little activity. The lack of surveys of official record, says Capt. Fin negan, is a serious drawback Ev- eryone interested there is anxious to have the field surveyed as soon as possible and unless it is done this season may result in complications
 Ut will be impossible for us to do any drilling this season. said Capt Finnegan, who also stated that this was a source of consider able disappointment to both himself and his associates. The machinery and supplies for drilling are at present being held up at Seattle. The delay in starting, he said, has been occasioned by inability to ob- tain permits, which are not now expected until about Sept. 1. This, he explained, would be too late in the season to begin work. It is now planned to have everything in readiness and begin drilling early next Spring. Capt Finnegan will be in Juneau until the next sailing of the steamer Northwestern to the Westward.

 The high mark yesterday was reached at p. m. where the mercury registered a short time and then slowly dropped back. In all the years of record since 1881 this record has not been exceeded and only equallad one time.

Protect the MusNat;
PeIts Worth a Fair Sum

Up until a few years ago there
was a general prejudice against
muskrats among farmers whose bot
tom lands they inhabited. The far
mer's chief complaint was that they
burrowed under his fields and occa-
sionally nibbled his crop, thus caus-
ing him losses.
And seldom stopping to consider
that the muSkrats peltS would more
than pay for the trifling annoyance
the animals caused, the farmers
often set about to eXterminate them.
For every case where it is shown
that the muskrat attacked crops on
lands near marshes, there is another
which shows that he left crops en-
tirely alone, even though they were
near at hand.
1t has taken the American farmer
a number of years to realize just
what a money-making asset the pos
session of muskrat marshes on his
either ignored muskrats (saVe for
the sport of catching them) or act
ually drove them out while subject
to the belief that they were pests.
Now the more astute American
farmer looks on the presence of
as he regards the cornfields of the
higher slopes-as a crop.
He encourages them to breed, pro-
tects them during the mating sea-
son, traps Ln6m only Wlen ire law
permits and makes every effort to
promote their growth as a crop
not for any purely humanitarian mo-
tive, but because muskrat farming
payS-and pays well.
1t is no unusual thing for farmer
to trap fifty muskrats in an acre or
two of useless marshlands, and re.
ceive for their pelts an average of
81 a piece, and in many instances
considerably more. At this rate, his
fur crop would bring him in the
neighborhood of $1OO-$1O0 that
would come tc him practically with
out effort on his part, since musk
rat trapping is simple and requires
little time.
To tie man in the country who, up
to this time, has been Indifferent to
the muskrat's existence. the animals
new status should be of interest.
especially since fashion has taken
UP the rat" and the market for his
pelt is broader than ever.
But as = final word of caution
don't trap out of season-dont viO-
late game Iaws-regard the mUskrat
as a crop that should be guarded and
protected, and it. will return you big
profits
