FIRST TRIP TO
OUTSIDE SINCE
BIG YEAR OF '9S
Paul S. Hogan of Yukon
Country Here Enroute to
Tenakee-Visit States.

On his first trip Outside since
1898, when he went into the klon-
dixie, Paul S. Hogan arrived in Jul
neau yesterday on the Estebeth from
Skagway en- route to Tenakee for a
short visit and thence to California.
Mr.. Hogan went in to the gold coun-
try with the big rush and has lived
along the Yukon since that time.
For a number of years he has been
at Dawson and is Interested in prop
erty in the Mayo region.
Juneau seems like a city to me-"
said Mr. Hogan Il saw it only
few hours while the boat was here
in SO. on my way North, and then
II was rough mining camp, but
with much more hustle and life than
is shown now. Twcnty-four years is
some time to be away from the Out
side, but the Outside. comes to us
every summer and we see quite as
many people as we would making a
trip to the States"
And to meet Mr.. Hogan and talk
with him one would think he had re-
Gently arrived here from the States
rather than the North, where he has
lived continuously so many years.
Future of Yukon
Mr. Hogan is optimistic for the fu-
.ture of the Yukon country and says
the people in that district have much
confidence in the Mayo and Keno
Hill mining regions. About 5000
tons Of orc will be shipped out from
tina: district in the spring he said.
The tractor which has recently
been imported by the Treadwell Min
ing Company has proved big inn
provcment over the old method of
hauling by horse teams and is a big
factor in the solving of the trans
portation problem, Mr. Hogan said.
The use of the tractor has allowed
greater speed in transporting the ore
and has reduced the expense of
transportation.
"All of us old prospectors live on
hopes, you know, and that makes
life worth the living" said Mr.. Ho.

BIG STARS AT
COLISEUM TONIGHT

A beautiful setting, built after the
Spanish type of architecture, and
costing several thousand dollars
forms the background for the prin
cipal scenes in William de Miles
latest Paramount production, "The
Lost Romance which opens at the
Coliseum tonight.
The setting is supposedly located
in the mountains of California and
consists of three large rooms, with
a beautifully finished exterior and
gardens. These gardens are the per.
feet handiwork of skilled landscape
decorators. Climbing vines, flowers
graceful trees are beautifully arrang
ed, and a pretty fountain graces the
center of the little patio. All OF
this was set up on the studio stage
floor
Romance is the outstanding theme
of the picture, and the setting. which
is supposedly the home of Aunt
Betty, pretty woman of mature
years who has been disappointed in
love in her younger, days. in design
and effect is such that it inspires
romance.
/ The story was written by Edward
Knoblock, author of ''Kismet" and

Polytechnic System Used.
The projection is based upon a
modified polyconic system, wherein
mcridians CT longitude are all in
straight lines. The lines of latitude
will be only slightly curving on
each sheet, because of the large
scale. The system is of advantage
in the adjustment Of adjoining
sheets.
As many political boundaries will
be shown as the density of the data
included permits. For instance, the
map of the United States will show
state county, reservation, land
grant. and other Land Office lines.

step in the work and which will be
made available by the survey for
state and other maps. The COM
pleted map, in size about 80 by 20
inches, is copper engraved in the
most delicate and strong detail, and
will be available at the survey. It
is reduced in size to form a scale OF
eight miles to the inch. The pro-
duction is by photolithography.
The sections thus far completed
have required six months to COM
pile. The work, however, for lack
of extra appropriation, is being done
concurrently with other map work.
It is estimated that the cost for
the international map will be from
SIS to $35 per thousand square
miles of area . The survey, DESTROYS
of having the most accurate and up
to date data upon the map, gathers
the material from dozens of sources,
and does not consider an area COM

These include: the surveys regular

as the ne-Millionth Map of the

EXHAUSTIVE new MAP, OF. NATION {: !
AND WORLD IS BEING PREPARED

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-Uncle
Sam is slowly progressing on a new
map OF the country, to be a part OF
a new world map based upon IA
simple system proposed by Ameri-
can representative in 1903, and ac-
copied at international conferences.
It will be the result of years OF
effort by map makers who have de-
sired system Of cartography
whereby the same scale of distances
could be used in world map, with
lettering and symbols uniform. Inc
American map is expected to be
completed in ten or twelve years.
Each country will map the terri
tories and waters under its own
jurisdiction, and the Geological Sur
vey of the United States Interior
1 Department is making the maps Of
this country.
h The globe is to be divided into
1912 sections. Each section is de-
signated by a distinctive letter and
number combination, in addition to
a name derived from the locality
mapped Each sheet, covering one
section, will cover six degrees Of
longitude and four degrees CT lati-
tude. The sheets are numbered
from l to so, beginning at the
1S0th meridian of longitude, and
4 gifGling the globe to the eastward;
and are lettered from A to V, north
and south, with the equator as a
starting point. The north and south
polar regions areto be shown in cir
cular sections from the SSth par
allel of latitude, and lettered l.
North and Z-South.
\ Main Purpose.
] The main purpose of the inter-
national map, which will be drawn
on the scale of one to one-milionth,
/ is to furnish complete world map
of uniform drawing, thus obviating

While the scale, which is ap-
prCximately sixteen miles to the
