Cadastral En- gineer Floyd Betts, District Cadas-| tral Engineer George A. Parks to-} day dispatched his first surveying party of the season into the field In the party as they boarded the | steamer Victoria with Mr. Betts were Leonard Berlin, Larry Dau- phiny and Herbert Torgerson The men will go first to Anchor- age where parties will be organ- ized, pack trains and other necessi- ties arranged for before heading for Kenai. Six miles back of Kenai where the survey now ends, the s veyors will start their work, mov ing up both sides of the Kenai rive and along Skilak lake to the nation- | al forest boundary, a distance of approximately 40 miles. The survey is on agricultural land and home- steaders of the district will be em- ployed in helping the surveyors. The Betts party will be in the Kenai disirict until the end of June, Mr. Parks said, and then will be di- vided, one unit going to complete work started last year in the Fair- banks area and others to the Kot- zebue Sound and Lower Yukon areas. Due to good wedther conditions, | this is the earliest that a survey party yet has taken the field, and | they will be out until late in the fall. .

Miss Grahame verifies the wisdom of ‘this pref- erence, and so do other leading artists of the radio, stage, screen and opera. Their voices are their fortunes. Thats why so many of them smoke Luckies. You, too, can have the throat pro- tection of Luckies—a light smoke, free of certain harsh irritants removed by the exclusive process “It’s Toasted”.
