BOUNDARY LINE IN COIN FIELDS.
KlondIke Region Undoubtedly In the
Northwest TERRITORY


WASHINGTON, Aug, 21.--1n speaking Of
the boundary line between Alaska and the
British possessions today. General Dufisld
OF the coast and geodeuc survey said: Il
do not believe that when the matter OF the
boundary line between The two countries rs
definitely settled there Will be any change
from what Is down on the map at present.
There certainly will not he as tar as re-
CARDS the klundike region. which is beyond
all manner of dispute tn the British NORTH
west Territory.
oDawson CITY is 100 miles or more east
OF the 14lst meridian. which is the boundary
line Mount 81. Elias is near the iutersec-
tion OF the ten marine league line with the
1alSt meridian. To be exact. the summit is
$40 degrees aud 65 minutes, or minutes

General Dutfeld added that II there Is any

Thin manila paper Is now being used Tor
making tubes for bicycles according to an
English paper. The proccss Of manufacture
is ingenious. the paper being wound upon
mandrel and coated by means Of glue from
a spray thus insuring the absolute joining
of the paper which is made solid by means
Of great pressure.
When the tube has been constructed some
forty layers Of paper being required for this
purpose it is subjected to great pressure
from the inside after the mandrel has been
removed and the tube placed in a very
strong mold. This pressure is derived from
hydraulic machine
The outer layers of paper are acted upon
by means Of rolling machine, which
hardens them and the tubes are then pol
ished in a lathe and stained to the desired
color, when they are vanished ani are

decided advantage. Michael had gained a

miles both men aNernated in the lead,
although there was lap to Michael :
credit, but the little fellow, when picked
up by his favOrite quad or seXtette, always
had enough in reserve to assert his Superi-

fastest time, one minute and fifty-two

nearly seven laps ahead and took things
easy, covering the last mile in 2:12 As.

At the last reguIar meeting Of the omaha

At the last regular meeting OF the Omaha
Turner Wheel club. which was held in its
quarters on the 18th inst. the entire list OF
member1 of the Omaha Guards Wheel club
was taken into the Turner's and the two
clubs consolidated. This makes the Turner
Wheel club the largest bicycle club in the
city, its total membership now being 1872
After the meeting a sort of jollificatiou was
held. Music by the Apollo Either club and
dancing was the order of the evening, while
the ladies of the wheel club served coffee
and cakes between dances. The wheel
club will hold semi-monthly dances in its
hall during the winter, and in this way in
terest will be kept up in the club. A com
mittee with Phil Moeller and Harley Conant
as chairmen was appointed to arrange the
date and place of holding the annual reunion
and picnic OF the club, which Will occur
sometime during next month.
All of the local professional racing men.
as well as many of the best amateurs, have
been training hard during the past week
preparing themselves for the Nebraska State
circuit, which opens at Beatrice on Septem-
Der =, and if Omaha does not win her share
upon the circuit it will not be because her
racing men have not had the proper prepa-
ration. While the old fair grounds track
has not been in condition to permit of any
record time being made in training, at the
same time some fast work has been done
there, while the men who have been train
been making some remarkable time for an
eight-lap track, The local professionals who
VIII follow the circuit are Meierstein. Gadke
Proulx Pixley, Fredrickson, Charles, Dick
and Virgil Hall. Floyd Mccall will also
join the party at Beatrice, going directly
from the last meet upon the Kansas cir
cult which is to be held at Lawrence or
August 81 to that place. With such a rep
resentatiye push, Omaha may reasonably eX-
pect to win her share of honOrs. A letter
from Floyd Mccall, who is now following
the Kansas circuit, states that all of the
fast riders now following the Kansas cir
cu.t. including De Carey and Ingram % CHI
cago HOfer of St Paul, Cummings, the Iowa
crack, and the Denver men, Banks and
Himstreet, will be on the Nebraska circuit.
In the writer's opinion, the Nebraska cir
cult win see the largest field of fast riders
ever assembled together in the west before.
The finish of the siX-day bicycle race at
Charles Street park Monday evening last
proved two things, viz. That Young Meier
stein is one Of the gamiest fnishers in the
west, and that Virgil Hall, while promis-
ing young rider, LACKS the nerve that it
takes to win a long and hard-fought race
like this one was. Young Hall had the lead
all OF the way down the back stretch on the
last lap and was a nose in front when they
entered the home stretch and upon a small
track like the Charles street one man must
be vastly superior to another to win out in
a stretch sprint unless one of them he's a
streak of yellow in him and quits. Meier
stein simply outrode the field and deserves
much credit for his win.
