SIT'KA NAMED ENTRY PORT
 BY COLLECTOR

SEATTLE Dec. 15-That Sitka will be opened as an Alaskan port of entry on January first, with deputy collector of customs in charge, is the advice just received from Col lector of Customs Mcbride. Boats will clear at that point, and boat sales will be registered there, ac- cording to the collector who states it is expected that many fishing boats will change their registry to Sitka in order to avail themselves of the large harbor and floats there and the nearness of that point to the Alaskan fishing grounds. It is be- lieved that the new tariff on coal is responsible for the designation of Sitka as port of entry.

The production of these as rapidly as there have been funds available for them has always been the policy of the Sur vey, but such funds have never been furnished to ali amount sufficient to enable the Survey to meet the urgent demands for them as a result of the rapid development of the Territory :" The report adds that many lives and much property have been lost thru the lack of adequate charts os Alaskan waters.
