LAST MESSAGE !. IS OUTLINED
 BY COOLIDGE
Old and New Problems Be fore President for
 Final Disposition

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26- A number of old and some new prcb- lens are before President Coolidge as the time approaches for him to send his last annual message to Congress.
 The Presidents final message will be read when Congress con- venes for the short session on De- cember 3.
 The President already has. ma terial before him upon which he may base recommendations for legislature.
 Boulder Canyon Dam
 Respecting the Boulder Canyon Dam, the President has before him the confidential report from the Commission appointed by the Interior Department to inquire into the feasibility of the Colorado River project. He will probably use these facts to form his own judgment.
 Farm Relief
 Indications are that Farm Relief will not be dealt with in a new form. President Coolidge feels that all constructive things he has to say about Farm Relief have been set forth in previous messag- es and speeches, and his views have been adequately described in two vetoes of the McNary -Haugen bill.
 New Question
 One new question to be submit ted is the ratification of the Kel- logg treaty outlawing war. In view of his Armistice Day speech, many observers feel the message te Congress will deal fully with his desire to have the navy add 6 number of new cruisers.
 On Finances
 What the message will say il connection with finances remains to be seen but in view of his re. peated declarations, the Presideni is expected to urge Congress t remain well within the govern ! ment's income in dealing with ap propriations.
 It is not expected this time vii be propitious for further recon mendations on tax reduction.

OUTHEASTERN| |
 ALASKA WATERS ARE NOW SAFE
Report of Col. Jones Gives Assurance
 of Safety to Shipping

WASHINGTON. f,ov. 26-The United States Coast and Geodetic Survey has now charted all through steamer tracks in south eastern Alaska waters and the original survey of the entire out side coast of this region has been completed. according to the an- nual report of Col. E. Lester Jones, Director, just issued The report covers the fiscal year ending June 30, 1928.
 Col. Jones, in his report, says;
 Tn Southeastern Alaska, all through steamer routes are now eharted, and the original survey of the outside coast of this region has been completed. We have completed the wire-drag survey of the main steamer track through this section and the charts now shown, by a special color, a con- tinuous area through which yes- sels can pass with assurance that they will not encounter uncharted shoals or pinnacle rocks.
 Many uncharted dangers to navigation were revealed by this work, the importance of which can not be overstated."
 Two survey ships, the Surveyor and the Explorer, were employed in Alaska waters throughout the past working season, the report states. Detailing the work of these ships, Col. Jones says:
 'eThe survey ship Surveyor was employed throughout the year in the northern part of the Gulf of Alaska. Hvdrographic surveys made in the vicinity of Cape St. Elias and from Cape Cleare to Cape Resurrection. Triangulation was accomplished from Cape Cleare to Chiswell Islands, to. the head of Nuka Bay and in Port Hebron. Topography was ac- complished from Point Pyke to Day Harbor.
 Explorer was employed on mis- cellaneous work in Southeastern Alaska during the first half of the year, which included surveys in Keku Strait, Taku Inlet, Tleyak Strait, Holkham Bay, Kaigani Strait, and San Alberto Bay. Dur ing the latter half of the year, this ship worked in the vicinity of Sit ka. Photographic and topograph- ic surveys were made of Salisbury Sound and Kruzof Island from Salisbury Sound to Gilmer Bay Triangulation was accomplished from Sitka Sound to Khaz Bay.
 Magnetic observations and earth. quake study were carried or throughout the year at the Sur. vey's observatory at Sitka, where special auroral investigations were dISO llldutt lhC lCpOib odJ D. -"N observations were continued dur ing the year at three primary tide stations in Alaska. located a Ketchikan, Valdez and Seward The decennial magnetic "census, or repeat program of magnetic observations in the interior and oI the coast of Alaska was in prog ress at the close of the fiscal year
 Col. Jones' report, as a whole, Il decidedly interesting and will re Ipay a careful reading. Especial. noteworthy is his description O the new method of taking oceal soundings by means of the trans mission and reception of -echoe and the description of the use o radio in locating survey ship position.
