TWO NEW TRADING
 POSTS ESTABLISHED

The we'll known firm of Stevenson & Bailey are putting in two more trading outfits on Lake Iliamna, the Gateway is informed.
 One will be located at Igiogit which is at the foot of the lake and William Hammersly will be in charge. Mir Hammersly is well ac- quainted in these parts having been there two winters and is very well known to the natives.
 The second post will be at koko- nok village and will be run by T. J. Patton, an oldtimer of the lower Stoney river region.
 It is said a third trading post may be established by these wide awake partners, Stevenson & Bailey, but nothing definite has yet been announced by them.

ATTEMPT TO SALVAGE GOLD
 FROM ISLANDER WRECK FAILS

After being at work for several weeks the crew that was attempting to recover the safe which was on the steamer Islander which was wrecked off the lower end of Doug las Island in 1901, abandoned all efforts at salvage and have left for the south. This was the third or fourth time as many outfits have had tugs, divers and grapplers after the hull of the Islander which con tinues to repose in something like 250 feet of water. It was report ed two weeks ago that the safe in the wreck had been located and could be brought to the surface but the report was evidently not we'll founded.

MAPPING 100000 MILES
 COAST Is MAN-SIZE JOB

WASHINGTON-When razing of the building that has housed the Washington office of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey since 1871 became imperative to make room for the new House office building, this colorful branch of the government service was forced to seek quarters elsewhere.
 The soJourn will be temporary, however, as the office will be per manently established in the new Commerce Building when it is com pleted. The survey is now bu- reau in the Department of Con- merce.
 In 1907, when President Jeffer- son was trudging across 9 plowed field to and from the Capitol and his boarding house, Congress au- thorized the Coast and Geodetic Survey. Ferdinand Hassler was ap- pointed the first director. For four years he literally carried the new service around in his buggy.
 Grandson of Franklin
 He was succeeded by Alexander Basche, grandson of Benjamin Franklin. Plans formulated by these pioneers continue as the basis of present activities. Raymond Patton, director today, came up from the ranks.
 Charting the coast line of the United States and its island posses sions for the production of maritime maps to guide mariners is the pri- mary function of the survey. This, within itself, is a gigantic task, as the actual length of the coast line, including bays, lakes and rivers, ex- ceeds 100000 miles.
 Moreover, the survey is respon- sible for the determination of time, latitude and longitude. Oceans, bays, lakes and rivers are sounded for depth, and the velocity of cur rents is measured.
 Mechanical Devices Help Many tedious calculations required in the work have been eliminated | through the invention of mechani- cal devices, among which the tide predictor is perhaps the most re- markable. With it, a tide table giving the time and height of high and low water for every day in the year for any single port can be pro- | duced in 10 hours.
 Both industries and commerce are promoted by the activities of the survey.
 An enormous amount of work is involved in making a single chart | For example, no less than 469 field survey sheets, sounding and tidal records and volumes of data were required to produce one chart. Ob- taining this information involves adventure aplenty for the field service-daring expeditions i n 0 vast wildernesses and uncharted seas-as we'll as painstaking office work

first met him, first learned to de-

to him, but wherever we have this
creature we call man, there we
have found his faithful friend and
companion, the dog, always, will

and thin, never seeming to care
for an instant whether his master
was rich or poor, wise or ignorant,
saint or sinner, alas even when
beaten, starved, cruelty treated.
ready to lick the hand that has
hurt him. A good man once said,
when my father and mother for
sake me then the Lord will take
me up" Might not one say that,
when man might feel forsaken Of
every earthly friend, there would
still be looking up into his face
the gentle, trusting eyes Of his de-

and sign, .'Where thou goest Will
go, thy lot shall be my lot. nor
shame, nor loss, nor prison bars

Films of Rare Wood
Used for Furniture

The growing scarcity of the more
beautiful and valuable woods mas
made necessary the substitution OF
other and cheaper kinds. mus
hardly any furniture nowadays is
made of solid mahogany, and IN
ferior materials have very gener-
ally taken the place of the disap
pearing cabinet woods" Indeea,
high-grade timber of any kind Is
now so costly as to prohibit It's
common use as the solid body on
furniture. Manufacturers are re-
sorting more and more to the use
of yeneers. Articles of furniture,
ranging from tables to phonograph
and radio cases, have skeletons OF
cheap wood covered with thin
skin of high quality wood.
Now the skin is not usually
more than one-twentieth of an inch
thick. A thousand board feet of
lumber will produce 10000 square
feet of veneer. Thus a great econ
omy is obtained. and the furniture
SO made is as attractive as thai
Ct solid wood.
