remove buildings. He thought that
a list should be made out.
The city engineer stated that the
worst case is on Seventh street, where
there are several houses on the street.
Aid. Bashaw suggested that the
city engineer should locate every new
building and receive. compensation
IN fees for building permits.
GUARD THE CROSSING.
Aid. Higgs stated that the Rock
street crossing of the G. & n. w. road
is now rendered more dangerous since
the malt house was built, and that
there have been several marrow
escapes from accidents. The trains
have been running fast there to make
the rising grade.
Aid. Pit cher produced an order
which has lately been given to the en-
gineers not to run faster than four
miles an hour. They are now run
ming scarcely two miles an hour.
Aid. Peterson stated that the road
is now doing better than it ever did.
Aid. Higgs urged that the trains
come to dead stop there, or put in
gates or fagman. The crossing is
the most dangerous that he has ever
seen.
Aid. Pitcher stated that the cross
ing back Of the Episcopal church is a
dangerous one.
Aid. Higgs moved that the G. & N.
W. road be notified to bring their
trains to stop at the Rock street
crossing, or put fiagman or gate.
This was adopted.
Aid. Higgs stated that the weather
reports can be received at the city
hall, if the city will buy set of flags.
The Normal school flags are worn out
and they do not care to buy new ones.
The recorder was instructed to pur-
chase set of flags and the chief of
police was instructed to have them
attended to.
An ordinance relating to bill pos t.
ing was read. 1t provides for a Ii
cense for bill posting of travelling
shows, etc. The license of bill post
ers shall be SIS year. Permission of
the property owners must be had be-
fore bills may be posted. 1t was re-
ferred to the ordinance committee
A number of bills were allowed, in

John Mccall, Bunker hill -. 400. 90
Also 81, 900 of notes from the banks,
and 1892, 90 for iron water pipe. The
bills will be paid when the city re-
ceives money from the county treas
ury, which will be the middle of this
week,
A bill was received for cleaning out
an clubhouse. 1t was thought that if
this was allowed the property owners
generally would allow the city to do
the work. The city attorney stated
that the delinquent property owners
can be sued or arrested under the
state law The health officer was in
structed to collect this bill and an
other one according to the state law.
The council adjourned.

Great Britain and Russia negotiated in 1925
by Stratford Canning, representing Great
Britain. and Count Nesselrode. represent
ing Russia.
In 1867 a treaty was concluded between
William H. Seward. acting for the Presi-
dent Of the United States, and Edward de
Stoeckl. acting for the Emperor Of Russia
in virtue Of which the territory now known
as Alaska. then usually called Russian
America, became the property of the United
States. In this treaty the boundaries Of
the country coded, as far as relates to the
eastern limit. are defined precisely as in
the treaty Of 1925.
An'Important Strip.
A very important part of Alaska is a mar
row strip Of land extending along the coast
from the point where the Hist meridian
touches Mt. ST. Elias down to latitude "a
degrees 40 minutes.
Many years ago ''544O or fight was
political war cry. Unfortunately, It turned
out to be neither. In 1857 we came down
to "a. 40' from the north. but the eastern
limit of this narrow strip Is, up to the pres
ent time, undetermined. According to the
treaty the line Is to proceed along the paral-
lei OF "a degrees 40 minutes eastward until
the Portland canal is reached: 1t then as
cends along this canal until 1t touches the
parallel of Sc degrees. Thus far 1t is ex-
plicit and not disputed, except that there
has been some contention es to what body
Of water the name Portland canal really
belongs. This Is now settled.
The Range a Myth.
1t is what follows that gave rise to con-
troversy. According to the treaty. setting
out from the intersection Of the Portland
canal and the parallel of Sc degrees the
Zine Of uemarkation shall follow the sum-
init Of the mountains situated parallel to
the coast as far as the point of intersec-
ton of the 141st degree Of west longitude"
Here the existence Of range of mountains
parallel to the coast YVES assumed. Such
a range was shown on the old sketch maps
OF 1925. 1t Is possible that a doubt existed
In the minds OF the treaty makers; for in
another article 1t was agreed that when
ever the summit Of such range should prove
to be more than ten marine leagues about
IS miles) from the ocean, the boundary
should be formed by Zine parallel to the
windings Of the coast and which shall never
exceed the distance Of 10 marine leagues
therefrom."
The range IL now found to be a myth.
and not one Of the Canadian contentious
has been established.

on THE FIELD OF HONOR.
Resort to the Code DueIlo by Jealou,
Young Men.

JG0IO00
Young Men.
A duel was fought at Cheltonham Beach,
fifteen miles south Of Chicago Wednesday
night. the combatants being William Flick
len of "a lakewood Boulevard and a Phila-
delphia man. The latter received an ugly
wound In the left shoulder, while Ficklen
escaped unhurt.
The trouble was caused by a woman.
Her name is withheld by Ffcklen. who ad-
mits fighting the duel. FIcklen also refuses
to tell the name of the man with whom he
fought but says he was q cousin of the
lady.
The facts are said to be as follows: A
friend Of Ffcklen's from Philadelphia
whom he declares is not Frank Keefe, came
10 Chicago a month ago to see the worlds
fair He was accompanied by a party Of
relatives, among whom was the pretty girl
cousin about whom the trouble arose She
was engaged to be married to a man in
Philadelphia. 1t Is said. but the accepted
lover unfortunately stayed behind. Mr.
f1cklen met her and, according to the idea
OF her male cousin. became too attentive
He demonstrated with the Chicago man
but it appears was not satisfied with the
after conduct, even after his reproaches
| had been made.
The Philadelphia man finally brought
things to a climax by challenging Fickien
to fight duel. Ficklen accepted the chal-
| lenSe and chose swords.
| Accompanied by ,uelr seconds, both men
| went to secluded spot at Chetonham
| Beach after IL o'clock Wednesday night and
prepared to settle the matter by the light of
| the moon. The cousin of the girl was ex-
cited but determined. Ficklen. who scarce
| ly believed that 1t really was the intention
| of his friend to push Lei matter 50 far was
| watchful.
Ficklen was the more adept Of the two
| with the sabers. and contented himself
| with parrying his foes thrusts and blows
until assured by the latter's determined
onslaughts that he meant to draw blood
before he was satisfied. Then Eicklen
resolved to wound his opponent sufficiently
to bring the affair to a close. Watching
his opportunity he slipped his saber across
the weapon Of his foe and pressed the point
into his shoulder. That ended the affair.
The Philadelphia man lowered his saber
and drew back. the blood flowing from the
wound Of his shoulder. His second came
up and asked both parties If they were
satisfied. They were.
Ficklen before leaving for the city as
| sured his adversary that he was entirely
| mistaken In the idea that he Ficklen) was
| trying to steal away the heart Of another
mans promised bride The wounded man
was taken to his room in Chicago, where
his shoulder was dressed and then he and
his friends, including the fair cousin, start
ed for Philadelphia.

THE MANEUvERS At GuENS.
Several Important Lessons Learned
From Them.

The chief lesson learned from the army
maneuvers at Guens. Hungary, is that i'm
mense armies, when sent into the field. must
be divideC>and subdivided in order to come
into action at all. The scene of action was
IN a fiat country. intersected by a few hills
and with no important rivers or other i'm
pediments worthy of mention. yet, notwith-
standing the absence Of such obstacles. II
was found impossible to bring into forma-
ton more than CORPS at a time on each
side Two CORPS formed lines too long 10
be seen from the center or to be handled
effectively.
The use Of smokeless powder caused many
surprises and rendered extreme caution
necessary. All who witnessed the maneu-
vers agree as to the unnatural effect pro-
duced by the almost noiseless, fitful ad-
vance Of small bodies Of troops, particu-
larry when no command is heard save the
damped sound of the signal whistle.
Another alarming effect was produced by
the artillery, which suddenly appeared
where least expected. and was hardly seen
until Its fire was felt. Foreign military
critics present expressed the greatest ad-
miration at the high efficiency shown by
the troops.

THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY.
Discoveries That Nullify Claims of the
Canadian Dominion.

The joint parties which have been work.
ing on the boundary line between Alaska
and British Columbia have just returned
to Seattle from the north. according to a
special to the Philadelphia Inquirer. No
mountain range parallel to the coast line
was found. and the American claim Of ten
marine leagues following the winding of the
coast line must. therefore. be sustained by
the treaty.
One point Of interest Is that Mt. st. Elias
is in British and not in American territory,
as heretofore claimed.
The Original DehnitfOn.
The boundary line between Alaska and
British America Is defined in a manner
which Is far from satisfactory. Its origt-
nal definition is found in a treaty between
