soprano like Emma Thursby from New

Ensign Moore's Discovery Discredited.

OTTAWA, Ont, April 15.-Captain De-
vile, surveyor general of Canada, dis
credits the correctness Of the discovery
made by Ensign Moore of the United
States coast survey to the effect that an
error in delimiting the international
boundary gave the United States Canadian
territory equal to that of Rhode Island. On
the contrary the survey made by
the Canadian government at Port
Merdi indicated that Canada had Sc
cured quarter of a mile of American
territory for a distance of several miles.
The surveyor general added that grand
mistake was made in 1878, in surveying the
boundary line between Quebec province
and the United States. For distance of
$50 miles the Americans secured Canadian
territory amounting at some points to over
mile over the true line, but this was com
pensated for by errors in favor Of Canada.

AREGOING TO ALASKA
A Party of Salt Lakers Will
Spend a Season There.
UNCLE SANS SUMMER GARDEN.
Most Delightful Trip on the
Continent.

When Uncle Sam purchased Alaska for a
song from the Russian government news
papers were inclined to make great sport of
the speculation and treated it with the same
ridicule that was heaped on the admins
tration by the negotiations for the acquisi-
ton Of San Domingo.
}utAlaska is panning out very well and
that bleak aud desolate country which was
believed to be uninhabitable on account of
the intense cold and barrenness of the soil
IS gradually changing into beautiful sum
merland, where the verdure lasts longer on
the lap OF winter than it does on the great
plains. Wonderful climatic changes are
reported to be occurring, but these are
probably the result of. closer scGuaint-
ance with that country of which SO little
was known until OF recent years.
The products of the country are also be-
coming more varied and valuable with the
entrance of the white man and glowing &C
counts Of the natural wealth in mineral and
timber are attracting the attention of the
capitalist.
Outside of the mineral resources Alaska
is rapidly becoming to the tourist of the
western slope what Maine is the Atlantic

romantic delights and one Of the most
charming recreations within the reach of
the summer idler. The popularity of this
voyage is SO great that the Union Pacific
and other railroads which sell round trip
tickets have placed additional steamers on
to accommodate the increase in travel.
At least twenty five Salt Lakers will
make the trip this summer. A party con-
sisting of Mrs. Priscilla Jennings, her two
sons, Harry and Harold, James Young and
wife, Mrs. W. w. Ritter, Mrs. May J. Far
low and Mrs. John Sands have engaged
staterooms in the Topeka, which sails
about the 25th of May. Bolivar Roberts
and wife, George A. Lowe and some others
contemplate making the Alaska trip. The
fare is 500 from Tacoma, including state
rooms and meals on board the steamer.
The route of the steamer is the coast, and
the northern terminus one hundred and
fifty or two hundred miles north of Sitka.
