WOODBURY ABBEY ARRIVES
 TO START SURVEY OF PARK

1 marking the boundaries of Mount Mckinley National Park, arrived in Nenana from Healy on the train yesterday evening. There is con- siderable pack and other equipment stored here at the completion of previous surveys and, with the as- sistance of few men whose ser vices were locally engaged for the survey work, Mir. Abbey is now busy assembling such of the equip ment as will be needed in the pres ent survey for shipment to the end of steel as soon as possible. The majority of the members of the survey party, most of whom are sourdoughs, came in from the coast with MT. Abbey and are at present at Healy awaiting the arrival of the rest of the party and equipment from Nenana.
 Engineer in Charge Abbey was assigned to the work rather late in the season and left Washington, D. C., very hurriedly on April 29, en- gazing men experienced in the work by wire as he went along. His arr rival in Alaska was further retarded l by the marine strike and he finally landed at Seward from the North western on May 27, pulling out for Nenana almost immediately after landing.
 At Anchorage, MT. Abbey was able to get seven horses from the Alaskan Engineering Commission, for his pack train and at Healy he secured two more animals. He ex- poets to get away from Nenana on Saturday morning, at least, with Bob Toussaint, William Wallace and Ed Moore, and the equipment and supplies for Healy, where the en- tire party will prepare to take the field immediately.
 Camp will be established on the East Fork of the Toklat, the actual survey commencing from the initial monument which will be establish ed on the summit of hill lying be- tween the forks of the Toklat, ap- proximately 50 miles east of Healy.
 From this initial monument, the line defining the boundary between kantishna proper and Mount Me- Kinley National Park will run S. 6 degrees 20 minutes w., for a dis tance of 19 miles, swinging at this point to s. 68 degrees w., and running for distance of 60 miles. The party will then backtrack for the Toklat forks and run the line defining the northern boundary of the park, from the initial monu- ment eastward toward Healy, for a distance of approximately 30 miles.
 The first 19-mile line run will nearly follow the course of Stony Fork, and the Reflection followed from this point will skirt the famous Muldrow Glacier, and run within a mile or two of Wonder Lake. ....
 The boundaries of the park, which will be the largest National Park in the world, will be clearly defined with stone monuments and two-inch iron pipes with brass caps, the cor ners being marked with three-inch pipes. The monuments and other boundary markings, although not erected at stated intervals, will be inter-visible, so that from any one monument another on either side of it will be seen plainly.
 It will not be possible to com plete the work of surveying the park in one season, and it is the inten- tion of Engineer in Charge Abbey to push the work along as rapidly as possible and to continue it until cold weather renders further opera tions iynnOsSih1o

 P. J. McDermott, who was placed under arrest recently on charge of violating the dry law, was tried before Commissioner Reed Heilig on Monday, without jury, and found guilty as charged. The court assessed a fine of $500 against the defendant and sentenced him, in addition, to d term of four months in the federal jail. McDermott immediately served notice of appeal, through his attor- ney, Morton E. Stevens, and his case probably will come up in district court some time after the first of October, pending which time, the defendant is out on bail.

A WISE REcoNs1DERAr1oN.

Evidence that congress is coming to recognize some of the inconsistencies that have appeared in the action threat ened in number of bills is furnished by the announcement to the effect that the money which was being denied the coast guard service and that which was being taken away from the consular service seems likely to be restored.
 Slashing right and left with the view of keeping down the expenditures of the government to the limit resulted in pros- poets of a serious curtaiment of these branches of the government. The reduc- tions not only represented cut in the estimates but they were apparently made without regard to the character of the service rendered and the amount which has been appropriated up to this tine
 It is to be realized that when there is a cutting of the appropriation for the maintenance of the coast guards it means that the service rendered for the protec ton of life and property along our coast. are bouRd to suffer. If there are nt funds there will be no guards, and i there are no guarGs those who are ship wrecked will have to take care of them selves, get off the best way they can O go down with the ship. Likewise reduc tions which make it impossible to main tain adequate forces means less success ful results.
 The same thing is true with the con sular service. Much is expected in tn way of foreign trade and the protection of American interests abroad A larg amount of responsibility rests upon tn consular service and it certainly shoul not be allowed to drop below past lev els.
 It is therefore gratifying toNlearn tha steps are being taken to see that thes departments are not crippled and tn criticism overcome of appropriatin money for needless purposes only to d, ny it where required. It would be a d, plorable situation to make an increase appropriation for free seeds and have V tai requirements disregarded.
