CANADA WILL CLAIM DfEA'
Senator Mills Says the boundary Does
Not Follow the Shore.

OTTAWA. Ont, Aug. 29-David Mills.
O. c.. ex-minister of the interior, whose
thorough knowledge of constitutional and
international law and the treaty history OF
Canada. is widely recognized in Canada, has
in an interview made a lengthy argument
uDOn the subject of the Alaska boundary
question Senator Mills contends that when
the Alaskan boundary is properly drawn
Canadians will have plenty of access over
their own territory to the Klondike via the
Pacific ocean and the Yukon. He claims
that Dyea, at the head of the Lynn canal,
is in Canadian territory, and he strongly
advocates the route through Lynn canal,
which, he argues, lies wholly within the
Canadian boundary.
The basis of his contention is that the
boundary does not properly follow all the
windings of the shore, but only does so
when no coast line" intervenes. He en-
tered very fully into the question from the
days of Russian possession down. Inc
treaty makes the summit of the noun
tains situated parallel to the coast the
boundary line from the point where ii
strikes the fiftv-sixth degree of north lati-
tude on the mainland until 1t intersects the
141st degree of west longitude, which ii
Now Senator Mills argues that it was
clearly the intention of the treaty TO adhere
to the coast line, wherever there was such a
thing, no matter whether it crossed inlets
or not The Russians only wanted fishing
rights on the coast. and so were not at all
likely to stand out for the right 10 go be-
hind the coast line at any place. Lynn
canal is crossed by range OF mountains
near the coast, known as St Elias Alps,
which contain a number of peaks ranging
from 10000 to 5000 feet high. There are a
number of other inlets in the same position
and he insists that they are all canadian
waters lying within the Canadian boun-
daries"
Senator Mills has the reputation for eau
ton and accuracy and is seldom suspected
of rashness His opinion as to the meaning
of a treaty is regarded as that OF an ex-
pert Now that the discoveries at klondlke
have made the Alaskan boundary OF far
