KODIAK HARBOR PROJECT GAINS BOARD APPROVAL War Department Approves| $77,000 Project—Plans | Are Sent to Congress | Advice | the War | liminary has been received from examination and survey | covering improvement of Kodiak | Harbor have been favorably con- | sidered by the Department and for- | warded to Congress for its consid- | eration. Actual work on the project | can not be done until Congress has | authorized this item in a river and | harbor bill and made an appropria- |tion to cover the cost of the work. The proposed plan of improve- | ment includes the widening of the by dredging two shoals |to provide a channel 22 feet deep land 200 feet wide with slightly in- creased width in front of the wharves at Kodiak at an estimated cost of $77,000 with maintenance at the rate of about $500 per an- num. The War Department’s re- commendation is that this improve- ment be undertaken subject to a local contribution of $13,000 toward its cost. The improvement is intended for the benefit of the waterborne commerce, Kodiak, and such in- crease therein as may occur if the cold storage plant now contemplat- ed is installed. It is understood that this project for a cold storage plant is under consideration by local and 'West Coast interests. At present commerce is around 9,400 tons per year and the contemplited capecity of the cold storage plant is understood to be about 5,000 tons per year. It is the opinion of the Department that if the cold storage plant is constructed and the navigation improvements are carried out, Kodiak will become a distributing center for halibut fish- ing banks in the region. This project has been under con- sideration for considerable time. Preliminary examination was made in 1930 which resulted in an un- favorable report by Maj. Malcom Elliott, District Engineer, chiefly because at that time the improve- ments included the removal of a large rock in the outer entrance the cost of which was considered eveessive in comparison with the benefits to be derivéd. On recon- sideration, however, and a showing by local interests that the removal of the outer rock was not an essential element of the project, favorable consideration was given to it in survey report by Maj. L. E. Atkins, Acting District Engineer, Juneau Distriet, November 1, 1931 Major Atkins’ report was favor- ably considered by Col. Thomas M. Robins, Corps of Engineers, Division Engineer of the Pacific Division; the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors, Mayor Gen- eral Lytle Brown, Corps of Engin- eers. Report was sent to Congress for its action and is contained in House of Rrepresentatives Docu- ment No. 208, 72d Congress, first session. The field surveys in connection with these reports were made by James G. Truitt, Associate Engin- eer, United States Engineer Office, Juneau.

Episcopal Church and the Metho- dist Episcopal Church, South. The Rev. Dr. John 'W. Langdale, secretary of the commission on the revision of the hymnal and psalter of the two churches, told a gath ing of ministers such imagery had become “revolting” to young people. Although final action has™ no® been taken on any hymns, 44 out of 121 hymns in the present k written by the prolific Char Wesley are tentatively listed elimination, and six out of mine-| teen hymns in the book written| by John ‘Wesley, father of Method- | ism, have been set aside for prob-, able omission. These are some of the hymns considered antiquated or too infrequently used. One hymn suggested for elimina- tion is “The gospel,” written in’the eighteenth century by Isaac Watts and containing the stanza: “To the blest fountain of thy blood, Incarnate God, I fly: Here let me wash my spotted soul From crimes of deepest dye.” KETCHIKAN RUNNING AWAY FROM JUNEAU IN CUP TOURNAMENT It's just about all over except the shouting in the telegraphic bowling tournament between Ket- chikan and Juneau Elks for pos- session of the silver cup.

ALASKAN GIFTS The Nugget Shop is out of the line of travel for many people and consequently they have a tendency to for- get us when they are shopping for some small prizes or remembrance. This is frequently their loss as well as ours for we have dozens of little Alaskan things department store in the country. The Nugget Shop has retained the largest tourist trade in Alaska be- cause its values and prices have been the fairest and because of their policy of satisfying the crankiest customer even to the extent of returning their money. If it were not that they have mail-order customers in nearly every State in the Union it would be im- possible to maintain such an establishment in Juneau.
