drive.
Persons interested in indianapolis

to aid the Civic theater movement

legs that the theater has to offer

struction and talent development,
both juvenile and adult.
1--WE have interested more people
during the present drive than ever
before" says Somnes. "The Civic
theater in Indianapolis is bound to
be a success with the backing Of
the Indianapolis public. We are
getting that backing because there
is a necessary place here for the
theater, and in addition to the bene-
fit Indianapolis derives from an adj
vertising and cultural standpoint,
the theater offers an immense
amount of relaxation and amuse-
ment to those who participate in its
affairs and attend its productions.

consideration to the coming Of the

a reasonable addition to the ia
 cilities that now exist or have been
 authorized.
 Operations in southwestern Alas
 kan waters were greatly facilitated
 by the use, for the first time in
 Alaska, of the radio-acoustic meth
 cd of position finding. As an ex-
 ample of the efficiency of this
 method is cited the fact that one ship, working off Prince William
 Sound, was able to make hydro
 graphic surveys of considerable
 area during one week of thick
 weather that would have entirely
 prevented work with methods pre- viously available. By means of the apparatus for radio-accoustic posi- tion finding, the distances from shore stations, the positions ot which are known accurately. are measured by recording the time re- quired for sound to travel through water from the ship to the stations on shore and return automatically by radio
 In connection with its Coast Pilot work the bureau staff has com piled a new publication containing tables of distances between United States ports. There are readily available in this popular volume the distances between more than 30,- GOO ports and points on inland waterways in the United States and it's possessions, including a num- Der of distances to foreign ports.
 Photographic surveys were made during the fiscal year 1929 inaI Alaskan waters as follows:
 Tn southwest Alaska the party 0n the survey ship Surveyor com pleted a large offshore area south i west of Montague Island. This work extended offshore to Portlock l Bank. Surveys were also made by | this party in the approaches to Bay and in Harris and Two Arm bays. A survey made in | Strait, Kodiak Island, | oy subparty of the Surveyor, dis closed a passage which shortens the ;teamer track of vessels approach ng Port Hebron from the west ward by approximately 40 miles. At he end of the fiscal year the party ,n this vessel had taken up work ,n the north and west coast of Ko- liak Island and was engaged on in Shelikof Strait and in Jganik, Uyak. zachar, and Alitak ,ays. While working this pro- ect the party wire-dragged the lrea where the steamer Aleutian vas wrecked and disproved the xistence of an uncharted rock in hat locality.
 The report states that primary

tide stations were maintained al Seward, Ketchikan, and Valdez. The latter station was discontinued Oc- tober 4, 1928, the observations ob- tained being sufficient for the pur- pose for which the station was es- tablished. Including stations tenn porarily maintained, there were IT stations in operation in Alaskan territory during the year. A sys- tematic and comprehensive current survey was also completed during the year of Southeast Alaska.
 Five Magnetic Stations
 The five magnetic observatories of the bureau were continued in operation and observations were ob- tained at 96 stations in the field. The latter include several points in the interior of Alaska never be- fore reached for this purpose. New methods which facilitate observa- tions were adopted at several ob Other operations in- clude special auroral observations at Sitka
 Noteworthy progress was also made in the organization of volun- teer observers for the collection of reports on seismology, and seismo- logical observations were obtained at Tucson, Ariz., and Sitka, Alas ka, throughout the year.

WILL ORGANIZE
 MINK FARMERS
 IN 5. E. ALASKA
]. E. Ames, Named Nation. al Committeeman, Is
 Visiting Juneau

J. E. Ames, of the Yukon Fur Farms at Petersburg, arrived in Juneau on the Queen, after eXhib- iting some of his mink at the an- nual show of the American Fox Breeders Association which was held in conjunction with the h. ternational Live Stock Exposition in Portland, Oregon, October 25 to November 5.
 Ames' mink made such a splen- did showing that the Fox Breeders Association asked him to accept the cffice of National Committeeman for the mink breeders, and he is here to try and effect some sort of an organization. On his way north, Ames approached mink farm CTS at Ketchikan, Wrangell and Petersburg and found that practi- cally all of them were heartily in favor of such an organization. He spent the greater part of Monday visiting the fur farms in this vi- cinity and arranged for meeting at one of the ranches near Men denhall to be held the latter part of this week.
 Tentative Plans
 Tentative plans for the orgarsza- ton embrace only those breeders who are engaged in raising the strain of mink known as Yukon bred stock" There has been no proper classification of mink, Ames says, because the industry is still in it's infancy. Greater interest is now being taken, however, and the judges at the Fur Show have taken the stand that mink of inferior and unknown strain must be barred from entry to discourage the growth of inferior animals.
 Yukon Territory mink" is the new designation for Alaska interior mink This is to distinguish the stock which originated at Carcross, Yukon Territory, from other strains of mink. These mink lead all oth- CTS in the qualities of fur, color ands size, Anes said. and practically all of the ranches in Mendenhall val ley are breeding tha tstrain.
 The original stock came from the pens of Alfred Dickson, of Car cross, Y. T., who trapped wild mink and began to experiment with them in 1914. It is estimated that there will be a thousand pairs of this strain breeding stock sold from the ranches in Southeast Alaska next

COAST SURVEYS KEEP IN PAGE
 WITH DEMANDS
Activities of Coast and Geodetic Survey Out
 lined by Capt. Patten

Surveys Tn Southeast Alaska, in general. keep pace with the need for charts, but conditions in South west Alaska are not so satisfactory. declared R. s. Patton, Director of the United States Coast and Geo. detic Survey, in his annual report to the Secretary of Commerce. In this, Capt. Patton outlined the ac- tivities of his bureau in the Terri tory.
 He also calls attention to the fact that the Survey was organized 113 years ago for the purpose of sur veying the coast and harbors of the United States, including adia- cent shoals. From a small be- ginning the scope of it's operations has grown with the country until it now is active throughout the vast extent of the United States and it's off-lying territories and po- sessions.
 Six New Charts
 The report lists six new nautical charts for Alaskan waters publish ed during the fiscal year, namely, Lituya Bay on the south coast and the following charts of southeast Alaska: Southern Entrance to Sum- ner Strait; Salisbury Sound and Peril Strait to Emmons Island: TebenkoN Bay, Chatham Strait; and Cape Edward to Lisianski Strait, west coast of Chichagof Island New editions of charts in confor- mity with the latest survey data, were also issued during the year for Wrangell Narrows; Dixon En- trance to Cape St. Elias; Southern part of Dall Island; and the Arctic Coast of Alaska. Additional new charts are in progress.
 Surveys in Southeast Alaska, in l general, are keeping pace with the ! need for charts. While conditions i in western Alaska are not so satis- | factory, as the demand for surveys | and new charts exceeds the ability to provide them, it is believed that | the situation is not critical and can be corrected within few years by
