The Pacific Motor Boat carries on it's inside cover of the November issue an interesting map prepared by the Juneau Chamber of Com merce showing the waterways, points of interest along the shore and the best places for hunting and fishing on the mainland north and east of Juneau and the islands south and west. Admiralty, Chicagof, Baranof, Kupreanof and Kuiu is. lands are shown in detail, but the southern edge of the map marks the duck and goose hunting of the Stikine Flats and cuts off short before Wrangell island is reached, and for that reason is not so valu- able to sportsmen and yachtsmen as it would be If the Wrangell area were included.
 On the page opposite the map isl an explanatory article, "A Cruising Wonderland" The article follows:
 We were taught in school that there are three different degrees of djectives-positive comparative and superlatiye-and yachtsmen cruising up what is known as the Inside Passage on the North Pacific Coast are wont to use these degrees in describing the magnificence of the scenic waters they traverse From the standpoint of natural beauty, they say that Puget Sound is positive, British Columbia com- parative and Southeastern Alaska superlative,
 "The map on the opposite page prepared by the Chamber of Com merce of Juneau, Alaska, gives some idea of the latter section. Section is scarcely the term to apply to it for it is an empire in itself. Reach ing from Dixon's entrance and Ket- chikan on the South to Lynn Canal and Skagway on the north, the air line distance is about four hundred by two hundred miles, but within this area are a maze of waterways that offer lifetime of cruising and exploration with a lineal shoreline of over eight thousand miles. With open water the year around and with most of the waterways as shell tered and smooth as inland lakes, it offers the worlds greatest para disc for small boat cruising, hunting and fishing.
 ''The map gives some conception of geography but only very meager one of topography. Most of the thou sands of miles of shoreline shown rise up from the water in great mountain walls, the lower slopes clad in dense forests of fir. spruce and cedar, interlaced with leaping waterfalls, the higher heights reach ing into the clouds in towering snow-capped peaks. Never is the yachtsman out of sight of these majestic snow-crowned sentinels or the billowing verdure of the limit less evergreen forests, while reach ing away in every direction is the beckoning blue of the leagues of waterways that wend in between.
 But scenery alone is not the only attraction for combined with it are the greatest opportunities for the fishermen and sportsmen in Amer ica, all combined in one area and within easy reach of the yachtsman in his boat. If you want bear you can take your pick of the noun tain grizzlies, the ferocious glacier bears, the brown or the black bear. Deer can be found almost anywhere, and on the heights mountain goat and sheep, while in the forests are timber wolves and moose. Ducks and geese abound on the many flats at river mouths and upland birds are found in the foothills For the stream fishermen every variety of trout are in the numerous lakes near the shores. For the salt water fishermen King salmon and Silver sides offer the worlds best sport, either for hand or power trolling or
