WASHINGTON, Feb. At is not likely
that anything will be done at this end of
the line in reference to the disputed
boundary between the states of Missouri
and Kansas. The claims of certain per-
sons in Bourbon county and ia other
counties along the Missouri and Kansas
line that the boundary was too far west,
have been referred to Congressman Blue
to look up here. The matter was also
brought to the attention of Congressman
Miller but no requests came from his
own county.
Congressman Miller and Blue went to
see Attorney General Harmon TO find out
what could be done regarding the dis
puted line The attorney general in
formed them that it was something with
which the government in the present
state of the case had nothing to do.
The only method of procedure he said
was to introduce bill in congress ask
ing for d resurvey of the line by the
government. If the survey were or
dered the controversy could be settled.
