 Original photographic and topo- graphic surveys were made along the Alaska Peninsula, at Ikatan, Morzho- vol. Cold, Wide, Portage and Chig- nix Bays, and in the offshore areas in the vicinity of these bays and in Kachemak Bay in Western Alaska. These surveys were made by the per sonnel of two surveying vessels. In Southeastern Alaska original hy- drographic and topographic surveys were carried northward along the outside coast from the work of last year to a point we'll north of Cape Ommaney, and the survey of El Cap itan Pass was completed
 Wire Drag Survey
 The wire drag survey of the main steamship route through Southeastern Alaska, on which the survey has been working continuously since the World war, was completed in the fall of 1923 with the survey of Ice Strait and Cross Sound. A special survey, requested by the War department to safeguard laying the new Alaska ca ble, was made of Kasaan Bay and Twelve Mile-Arm.
 The geodetic work accomplished during the past year consisted of the determination of geographic po- sitions by triangulation and traverse, precise elevations by precise, leveling, astronimic longitudes and attitudes, and values of gravity. This work was done in many of the States and in Alaska
 TrianguIation.
 The Coast and Godetic Survey and the Geodetic Survey of Canada are also cooperating in the extension of an arc of precise triangulation which will extend from Puget Sound into Al aska. In carrying out this work par ty of the survey operated during the first part of the fiscal year in South eastern Alaska in determining the astronimic longitude and eximuth at seven precise triaugulation stations for use in the adjustment of the tri angulation. A second party operat ed during the latter part of the fiscal year in measuring precise base lines for the control of the lengths of the triangulation and in making horizon tai angle observation to connect the triangulation of Southastern Alaska with that of the Geodetic Survey of Canada to the southward of Dixon Entrance
 The line of precise levels begun in the calendar year of 1922 at Anchor. age, Alaska, at the head of Cook In let, which was planned to run thru Fairbanks, and thence to Valdez, was continued and completed during the fiscal year 1923. A line of precise levels between Seward and Anchor. age was also completed. The level ing connects with tide gauges at An. chorage and Valdez.
 Westward Observations A precise triangulation party con. tinued in 1923 the observations on the arc started during the fiscal year of 1922 which extends from the head of Cook Inlet toward Fairbanks. The work was taken up again last spring and was in progress at the end of the

fiscal year. This triangulation is part of a general scheme which eventual ly will be extended over the Alas kan area, following routes of travel for the coordination of the charts of the survey and for the control of all public surveying and mapping of the interior. The work is most ur- gently requested by the General Land Office, which is laying out public lands for settlement. That office wishes to avoid in Alaska the great confusion which necessarily resulted in the United States from having to use many prime meridians and base lines in laying out the public lands.
 Geodetic Survey Needs.
 The mapping of the country is a project which in the interests of the industrial and commercial expansion of the United Sites should be carried on with greater rapidity than has been the case in the past. Even casual consideration will convince anyone that all important economic and individual industrial activities are dependent upon a knowledge of place and elevation.
 The United States is behind the other progressive countries of the world in it's economic control sur veys; there are strong economic req sons why our system should be pros ecuted with corresponding diligence The money spent for such surveys should rightly be considered as an investment which will now and here after bear large interest to the pub- lic
 Magnetic Survey of Alaska
 During the past fiscal year the mag netic declination was determined at large number of triangulation sta- tions in Southwestern and Western Alaska. This work makes it possi- ble to place correct magnetic infor- nation on the new charts of the re- gions which are being surveyed.
 The area of Alaska is so great, that an immense amount of work will have to be done before the mag netic survey can be considered com plete. At present magnetic stations are found only along the main lines of travel, and there are vast areas where no observations have been made. Observations are needed along the west coast including the Aleutian Islands, and in the Interior.
 It is planned to start work in the Aleutian Islands during the next fis- cal year, provided that transportation arrangements can be made The of ficer doing this work will also make latitude and longitude and other ob- servations that are badly needed in this region.
 The magnetic observatory at Sitka furnishes continuous record of the magnetic declination, dip and inten- sity. Disturbances known as mag netic storms occur with great fre-

Clean Kidneys
By Drinking
Lots of Water
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys if
Bladder Bothers or
Back Hurts

Eating too much rich food may pro-
duce kidney trouble in some form, says
a well-known authority, because the
acids created excite the kidneys Then
they become overworked, get sluggish,
clog up and cause all sorts of distress,
particularly backache and misery in the
kidney region, rheumatic twinges, severe
headaches, acid stomach, constipation,
torpid liver, sleeplessnesS, bladder and
urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, begin drinking lots of good
water and also get about four ounces OF
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy
take a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys may then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid OF
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for years to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to activity; also to neutralize the
acids in the system so that they no
longer irritate, thus often relieving bad
der disorders.
lad Salts can not injure anyone
makes a delightful effervescent lithia.-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and .then to help keep
the kidneys and urinary organs clean,
thus often avoiding serious kidney dis
orders. By all means have your phy!si-
clan examine your kidneys at least twice
a year.
