CLAIM EVERYTHING IN SIGHT
Putting the Most Valuable Portion Of
Alaska Over the Border
MAPS PREPARED BY THE CANADIANS
Text of the Treaty Clause Upon
which britain BASES Her Claim
to Territory Owned by
the United states.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Nov. l9.-lf
the British government insists on the perma-
| nent establishment OF the Alaskan boundary
! line as mapped out by the Canadian civil
engineers the cities of Juneau and Douglas
Island. where the richest gold mines are
located. will become part OF English terri
tory. A reporter of the Associated press
visited Victoria, b. c., and was permitted to
examine the new maps made for the surveyors
by the boundary commissioners and the
authority upon which the Canadians base
their right to claim strip of Alaskan
territory.
Dr. Dlmson, chief engineer of the Can
adian corps of surveyors, made
scientific observations from range of noun
tains, which, together with the treaty stipu-
lations. are the foundation upon which the
claim is made. These drawings clearly show
the mining town of Juneau to be fully seven
miles inside of British territory. Not only
that, but Chilcat pass, the favorte and most
generally Travelled route to the Yukon and
the bays and inlets of southeastern Alaska,
are claimed to be part of Canada.
The location of the boundary is based ap-
parently upon the clear wording of the treaty
of February rs, 1926. between Russia and
Great Britain. A certified copy of the in
strument is in the hands of the British ell
gineers and clearly states that the boundary
line shall be from peak to peak along the
summit of the mountain range running
parallel with the coast providing the noun
tain range does not exceed more than ten
marine leagues from the ocean, in which
latter case the boundary line shall be parallel
with the winding of the coast and which
shall never exceed the distance of ten marine
leagues thCrefrOm
The sense of the last clause is taken by
the Canadian engineers to mean ten marine
leagues from the ocean coast and not the
shore line of the various sounds, bays and
inlets. In southeast Alaska on the average
the ocean shore is fully fifty miles from
the mainland, adjacent bays and sounds, and
the principal inlets and rivers will be wholly
In British territory, while a few outlying
islands Is all the territory that Canadians
will Concede the United States is entitled to.
This will take from Alaska. also, large
portion of Berner bay where rich gold
mines are now being worked. 1t will also
put into British territory two of the largest
carneres situated in southeast Alaska.

THE ALASKAN BOrND1RY ,l1rTER

Whether anything in the nature of
serious controversy is likely to come
out of the Alaskan boundary matter
is at present uncertain, but the latest
reports regarding it indicate that there
is something in the question which may
involve our government in dispute
with Great Britain. The fact appears
to be that the Canadian surveyors or
engineers are making claim to telr..-
tory. wherein are valuable gold dcDoS-
its. which they have Il questionable
right to do. and it also appears that
the Canadian authorities have made
preparations to occupy and hold this
territory. From reports it would seem
that they have been pushing forward
in this matter with II somewhat ag-
grcsSivc vigOr, while this government
has been careless and apathetic, so
that at present the Canadians have the
advantage of position.
1t is understood, however, that the
matter is not being ignored at Wash.
ington and that proper action will be
taken to protect American interests in
Alaska. recent report stated that
the administration had been consider.
ing the cNprdiency of sending Il mill
tary force to that territory to sustain
the civil authority and it is believed
that congress will be asked to order
this done. 1t is quite probable that
the reports regarding the situation are
somewhat exaggerated. but they Ger
tainly deserve attention, and in any
event it is to be presumed that our
government will not hesitate to take
whatever course may be necessary to
protect from invasion Alaskan terri
tory to which it can show IL reasonable
claim.

The attorney general Of New York
has finally decided to institute pro-
cecdings against the American Tobacco
company, known as the cigarette trust,
with view TO restraining 1t from do.
ing business in that state. The com
pany is Incorporated in the state Of
New Jersey, but has its headquarters
in New York City and really transacts
all It's business from that point. II is
claimed that thc methods by which
the trust trausacts its business are In
violation of the laws of New York and
would not be permitted by a domestic
corpurntlon In his statement show
ing the manner in which the trust trans
acts its business the attorney general
says that such method is against
public policy and would not receive
the approval Of the courts of the state
IN the ease of a domestic corporation.
"Why, then" he asks, "should it be
permitted in foreign corporationY"
He states that sufficient evidence has
been produced to authorize the com
mcncem"nt of an action.
The action which it is proposed to in
stitutc has an Importance not limited to
the combination against which it will
bc brought. 1t really involves the right
of all the trusts which have their head
quarters in the city of New York, but
are Incorporated in other states. to do
business there. The policy or methods
pursued by the American Tobacco COM
pany are essentially the same as the
sugar and others trusts pursue. so that
if the courts decide. as there is good
reason to believe they will, against the
cigarette trust, the decision will reach
all the combinations of Il like charnc-
ter which are making the city of New
York the headquarters of their business.
1t is this that gives significance and
far-reaching importance to the pro-
posed action and will cause it to be
regarded with general interest OBJ
viouSly if the trusts can be routed
from the commercial metropolis of the
nation II very great step will he taken
toward their suppression, for they
could find nowhere else such Il vantage
ground for their operations All the
judicial decisions in New York regard
ing the trusts warrant the expectation
that the action against the tobacco
company will be successful.

No doubt this Is true II is also true, as no

only one OF the old parties that will DO OUT

third party representing some crazy theory
would lack one Of those elements OF interest
which are so dear to a humor-loving people,
Therefore It is devoutly to be wished that
the populists may have a candidate OF their
own, pledged to the principle that value has
nothing to do with money, although the
value of gold is just sixteen times as great
as the value Of silver.
Springfield (Mass) Republican: EX-Scnl-
tor Manderson of Nebraska sees the situa-
ton practically as does ex-senator Edmunds,
and is as positive in his opinion that the re-
publican majority in the coming congress
canot aftord to meddle with the tariff. As
MaudersOn puts It in an interview in the
Washington Star, "the republicans cannot
afford to open up the tarin question. If any
attempt is made to make up the deficiency OF
revenue by duty on wool or any other arti-
Gle, every industry will rush in and demand
an adjustment of the duties so as to AFFORD 1t
better protection. We are not in position
now to satisfy these demands, and we would
better not touch the matter at all" Mander-
sons plan for raising more revenue Is by an
increase in the beer tax, or internal revenue
taxes of some kind. Congressman Cannon OF
Illinois Is quoted as sharing these opinions
in regard to the unwisdom of tarin legisla-
tion, but he would raise revenue by borrow
ing on short-tme treasury warrants.

1HE CURRENCY SHoULD BE NATIONAL

| THE CURRENCY SHOULD BE NATIONAL
At the meeting of the New York
Bankers association last week one OF
| the addresses was by Hon. Ellis III.
Roberts, eX-United States assistant
| treasurer and now president of the
Franklin National bank of New York.
in which he considered the questions of
retiring the greenbackS and allowing
state banks TO issue currency. Mr., Rob
erts is recognized as one OF the ablest
linancicrs in the country, ii conServa-
tive and careful man whose opinions
are entitled to great consideration.
In common with all bankers. Mr.. Rob
ertS considers the paramount question
TO be, What shall be done with the cir
culating medium? Referring to the pro-
posal TO retire the greenbackS, he says
that one obstacle in the way of this is
the failure To provide Il satisfactory sub
stitute. He declares that no one would
advise the cancellation of so many mil
lions of currency without putting some
thing else in its place, because the coun-
try will not tolerate such a drastic
measure of contraction. Regarding the
proposition to substitute Il state bank
currency, Mr.. Roberts remarked thar
the experiment of the many different
kinds of bank notes used before the
war Is fresh in the minds of men then
in business and while most of the evils
then Migrant could doubtless be
avoided. no system which would per-
nit every one of forty-tive states to
prescribe the basis of security and the
methods OF supervision could guard
of fraud. IL count il for an axiom"
said Mr., Roberts, that all paper money
should be issued under laws enacted
by congress and under national super
vision" In regard to those who favor
Il state bank currency based on general
assets, he said that they argue from
narrow experience and cannot claim
that their conclusions can he accepted
rs aXiOms.
In regard to the policy which it is
understood the administration will rec
ommend, that of retiring the legal ten,
der notes or greenbacks. Mr.. Roberts
said: "Should the alternative be pre-
scented between the retention of the
greenbacks and the issue of bank notes
under the authority of our forty-iive
slS'es, including Utah, or even under
national authority, with only the Sc
curity of the general assets of the in
stitutions, my own vote would be for
the greenbacks, and SO, l think, would
