TO BE GIVEN MONDAY
 AT THE PALACE
Proceeds Will Go Into Treas ury Alaska Historical
 AsSOClatlOn.

Next Monday night a benefit for the Alaska Historical Association will be given at the Palace Theatre There will be an entirely new program for the one night, the principal feature being six reels showing construction work and scenes along the Government rail road to the Westward. The added picture feature will be Bonnie Bonnie Lassie," with Mary Mac Laren as the star.
 Naturally the picture interest will center around the films of the Alaska railroad. Pictures have been taken from Seward to Fairbanks The great steel bridge across the Susitna River is shown, there are farming scenes both in the Panama and Matanuska districts, dog teams, tractors, ice, snow, sunshine and flowers
 There will be no special sale of tickets but after the actual operat- ing expenses of the theatre are de ducted, the remainder goes into the treasury of the Alaska Historical Association which needs the money. It is safe to say there will be two well filled houses at the Palace Monday night.

There is absolutely TO com plaint to make on the management of the institution"
 Senator Hess, also q member of the committee. said he was well pleased with the inspection trip, be- ing his first visit to the Home. Il believe the housing could be better arranged, more privacy given the inmates. as many are forced to be in large wards, and this mater should be changed. but I do not know just when it can be accom- plished."
 Representative Rickert, chairman of the House Committee On Terri torial Institutions, said: The Home is in fine condition I do not see how we could get any better man than Superintendent Harry Morton Mrs. Morton is also very popual with the inmates"

SURVEY WORK IS IMPORTANT FOR
 ALASKAN SHIPS
Many Uncharted Rocks and Reefs to Be Marked by
 Fleet Now in Harbor.

The work of the survey ship Fix
 plorer, now in the harbor, is excit
 ing much interest among shipping
 men. The Explorer is the mother
 ship of the survey fleet, the special
 mission of which is to complete the examination by wire drag of the main steamship routes in Southeast ern Alaska. Until this is done there is no guarantee that the charts will show all the existing dangers, or that there will be no additions to the already long list of submerged rocks named after vessels which ran upon them.
 During the approaching season the
 field of work of the Explorer and her launches will be in Stephens Passage, Gastineau Channel and Lynn Canal More than usual inter- est is attached to the operations of this vessel and her survey party as new methods will be used which are expected will greatly expedite the work.
 The wire drag was first employed by the Coast and Geodetic Survey on the Atlantic coast. Along that coast the currents are moderate and there are large shoal areas where rocks and lodges projecting a few feet only above the bottom are dan gerous Instructions. slow moving and somewhat complicated appara- tus was found best suited to these 
 In Alaskan waters such shoal areas are comparatively infrequent. and deep water with swift cur rent is characteristic It is in this deep water that some of the most dangerous pinnacle rocks have been found. The precision of the Allan tic type of drag is an unnecessary feature in this locality and its slow movement limits or destroys its ef ficiency in swift and irregular cur rents.
 Much experimental work was car ried on last year with a view to meet these conditions. and a drag has been designed of greater strength and fewer parts. which is capable of being lowed through the water at two or three times the speed possible by the old form.
 If the pew design comes up to ex- pectations. indicating that a correct balance has been found between a drag of light construction liable to be crushed and broken by the water pressure at high speed and a strong but cumbersome construction which prevents high sneed ana quick this combination of light ness and strength should enable the party to make progress far be- yond that hitherto accomplished in Alaska. The test is awaited with interest by shipping men and of ficers of the Coast and Geodetic Survey.
