OUR ALASKAN BOUNDARY
Greedy Great Britain Trying
to Obtain a Slice of Uncle
Sans Land.

Baltimore, Md, Sept. O.
Rev. Father Zonas Barnum,
who has recently returned from
the interior of Alaska, where
he spent four years in mission
airy work among the natives,
gave to the Baltimore Sun an
interesting interview regarding
the Alaskan boundary dispute
between the United States and
Great Britain.
The claim made by the
British government at the in
stance Of Canadians" said he,
embraces n valuable strip of
land, portion of which is the
key to a vast extent of the in
terror Of Alaska possessing
rich mineral resources. An
other portion would give them
control of some fine natural
harbors, and in the third place
they would gain one of the
most magnificent regions in the
world, Glaciers Bay, which is
now beginning to be visited by
Tia 'usands of tourists all oyer
the world during the winter
months. Although the immense
value Of this land cannot be &C
curately determined, a knowl-
edge of IFS geographical posi-
ton on the coast shows that
great commercial advantages
should accrue in the future
from its possession. 1t is a mar
row strip, running nearest this
country, with the most temper
ate climate and the only part
of the territory that is settled
by any considerable number of
white men,"
One important effect of Great
Britain's claims, If they should
be allowed, would be that
Britain would have control Of
the gold fields, in the northeast
corner of Alaska. These fields
pan QUE abous 100000 each
year, but it has been stated
that there are prospects there
yet unworked as we'll as other
mineral Industries which will
likely cause considerable i'm
migration there when it be-

Every effort is being made for
the entertainment of the strang

ON TO THE GULF.
Trip to Sulphur River, On The
K. G. P. & G. RY.

Accepting the kind invitation Of
Superintendent W. A. Williams, Of
the Texarkana & Fort Smith, "a
part of the K. @. P. & G. Ry.,) the
editor enjoyed a ride South to Sui
phur River this morning. Maj.
Stout also accompanied Mr.. Williams
and the special carrying our small
party was in charge of Conductor
Smith, with Engineer buddy at the
throttle of engine No. 4.
Sulphur River is ten miles South
of TeXarkana, via this railroad and
almost due South Road runs near
the state line, in Texas, all the way,
and through a comparatively level
country. The are some good farms
along the line, as also fine timbered
lands a few miles out from the city
until the route traversed by the
old Buchanan log road, some six
miles out, is reached; this road used
to be operated for some fifteen
miles, from Buchanan, over into
Arkansas. Among the best farms
we passed were those of Bob Canon
and DR.. Bentley, about two or
three miles from the city,
We reached the river about 10
o'clock, and walking across the
three fourths Of a mile of trestling,
saw the bridge gang at work put
ting in the "false work" over the
stream. Piling for the first bent
is all in, but nothing more can be
done until the high water recedes;
river is quite high from the heavy
rains, which have caused a "head
rise" In few days work can be
resumed, and in ten days rails can
be laid to the South bank of the
river Then laying steel will go
forward South toward the Gulf, of
Mexico. The first ten miles Of
grading is already complete and
the second ten nearly SO, South of
the river.
The bridge over Sulphur will be
of steel and iron, with a draw span.
1t is only two miles up to where the
Y. g. p. crosses the same stream,
and we easily heard trains passing
while we were there. On each side
of the bottom the X. G. p. & G.
road enters from a steep bank, and
as the bottom is very narrow here,
Cat Line Ferry less than half the
of trestling is required as
where the I. e. p, crosses, which is
two and one-halt miles long. Both
trestle and bridge will be above
high water mark. All trestle work
is completed, and it is a fine piece
OF work.
We notice that the telegraph
line is being extended south to the
river, four miles already up, and
going forward under the supervls-
ion of Mr. Davis.
But we are getting too lengthy
and must stop, Road bed Of the
entire ten miles is in fine shape,
We enjoyed our first trip of OBJ
servation south, and hope ere long
to 90 further still.

across, the crews will be put on

objections have been adjusted so far
and no new complications are looked
for to impede the progress of the
work, We hope to see the work fin
ished by middle of next month and
