the leaders of the two government sur
vey parties sent into Alaska, the result
of the work has been most satisfactory.
The object of the expedition has been
definitely to establish the northwestern
boundaries of Alaska, about which
there was difference of British and
American opinion. Lieut.. Frederick
Schwatka had made running survey
along the 141st parallel for this govern
ment, and Surveyor Ogilvie for the Brit
ish government, but there was differ
ence ofthree miles in their establishment
of the northeastern boundary line. Our
camp was situated at the intersection of
the 14lst parallel with the Yukon River,
and the result of our work has been to
confirm the Ogllvie survey, which gives
the United States three miles more ter
ritory along the northeastern boundary
line of Alaska than it was supposed to
have. OF course, it will require long
time for Surveyor McGrath to get his
official report ready, and it will proba-
bly, not be made for two years following
his return to the states"

Damage by Frost Not so Bad as Has Bee
tod

Damage by Frost Not so Bad as Has Been
Reported.
Elevator experts arriving at ST. Paul
from the wheat fields of North Dakota
and Northern Minnesota have made a
carful survey of the situation, and re-
port that the damage by the recent frosts
is very much less than indicated by ear
ly dispatches, probably not more than
per cent. in any locality, and the aver
age will not exceed 2, per cent. 1t is
stated the farmers themselves put in
circulation the stories Of great damage
to bull prices. The experts place the
greatest injury in Blocker County,
Mimi, where there are a great many
Indians who put their crops IN the
ground SO late that the frost caught
their wheat in the milk. The other
Minnesota localities affected are
small portions of Kittson, Marshall
and Polk counties. In North Da-
kota the only Red River Valley
county to suffer was Pembina. The
heaviest damage was IN Stutsman Coun-
ty and the counties of Batteneau,
Calvalier and Ramsey, along the north
ern border, were caught by the,icy visit
ant to a considerable extent. Nine
tenths of the wheat is now cut, the
threshers are in the fields and the yield
runs from Is to 80 bushels to the
acre.
Reports from the greater portion of
Alabama indicate full corn crop but a
cutting off Of cotton of at least % per
cent. Rust has been the destroying ele-
