A Novel Scheme.

A plan for reaching the Upper Yu-
kon has been started by Dexter Hunt,
OF Everett, Wash. He proposes to
build a propeller 75 feet in length and
OF sufficient width and depth TO be
perfectly seaworthy, and have it COM
pleted so as to reach the mouth of the
Yukon soon after the ice has gone out
next spring. He will take as partners
limited number Of persons, who,
when the hull is completed, are to pay
$50 each. This will be used in the
pnrchase of machinery and the com
pletion of the boat, and will entitle
the party making such payment, or
bis representative, to free Transports
tion to Dawson City or some point
Above that place on the Yukon.
The boat is then to remain in the
Xnkon trade for two years, the pro-
feeds of such service 10 be divided
among the parties paying the $50 and

Mr.. Hunt, all sharing alike. At the
end of two years the full ownership of
the boat is to accrue to Mr.. Hunt. By
this plan the parties paying the $3.50
will he able to reach the Upper
Yukon cheaper and easier than at
present, and have a reasonable pros
pecJ of return of part or all Of the
passage money. Already more than
the required number have made ap-
plication TO become members OF the
limited partnership, and the building
Of the boat is assured.

No Boats,

SEATTLE, Aug. 5.-No boats left
here for Alaska, but the lull was more
than filed with preparations for the
next when the steamship Cleveland,
chartered by the North American
Transportation & Trading company,
will sail for st. Michaels, transferring
passengers and freight there to river
steamers for Dawson City. The
Cleveland will have 200 passengers and
over 1, 900 tons of freight. Among her
passengers will be Captain P. M. Ray
and Lieutenant Richardson, U. S. A.
officers who will command the troops
ordered from Fort Russell to duty in
the Yukon region. Ghey are under
sealed orders and carry three tons of
supplies. They will be followed by 60
soldiers next spring.
Steamboat men are getting so scarce
that strike of deck hands on the
sound steamer last night induced the
company to raise wages SIS month
all along the line, from captain to
cook. The deck hands, who had been
getting S35 month, were raised to $40.
So great is the demand for men to
work on the Alaska bound vessels
that the companies operating on the
sound find difficulty in holding their
employees.
Charles H. Hamilton, traffic man
ager of the North American Trans
portation & Trading Company, let an
other contract to Moran Bros, of this
city, for building four more river
steamers for the Yukon. This work,
given to Moran's, make its contracts
with the n. a. Y. 4 II. Co., include
eight seperate steamers, all let 10

CLONDYKE
The Alaska Boundary Treaty.
Alleged BIunder Moved the Line
Other Matters,

OTTAWA, Aug. 5.-W. r. Scott, sec
retary of state, was interviewed re-
gardiny the statement from Washing
Lon claiming that Great Britain OF
the official maps had drawn the
boundary line on the Pacific coast so
as to deprive the United States to
hundreds of miles of territory adjoin-
ing the Clondyke gold fields. He said
he had gone into the question with a
member of the Mackenzie administra-
tion in 1878, and the point now raised
was discussed then.
"The treaty of st. Petersburg OF
1925" said he, "dehnes the line di'
Wiling Russian territory, now Alaska,
from British by line drawn north
from the foot of Prince of Wales Is
land through Portland channel until
ID struck the mountains, when the
method Of deliniation was set forth.
The map will show that a line running
north from the foot of Prince OF
Wales island must 90 through the
Rehmoanal. and that to reach Port
land canal the line. would have to go
east through the open sea a consider
able distance before it could reach
Portland channel or canal.
"The British contention as shown
by the dispatches of George Canning
to Sir Charles Bagot, when British
ambassador to st. Petersburg, is that
Portland was to be in British terri
tory and the words Portland canal
10 the convention twas mistake for
Rehm canal or else what is now
called Portland canal was not then so
called. This is. supported by the
physical iimpossibility of running a
line due north through Portland canal
from the foot of Prince of Wales
island, so that Canadian maps show
the boundary line as running north
through the Benin canal.
The difference is great in view or
the discoveries of gold, and it can only
be settled by arbitration. The dis
puted territory with the 10 marine
leagues back from the coast added
could not, however, embrace the pres
ent gold fields of the Clondyke, which
are clearly in British territory, be-
cause they are we'll east of the l41st
meridian, which is the recognized
boundary to the north.

Rushing the Mail

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3.-The post
office department has ordered all mail
matter at Seattle awaiting transmits
sion to the Yukon region to be sent
by the Cleveland, which leaves that
port August 5, instead of waiting for
the regular mail steamer Portland,
which is scheduled to leave August 10.
This is done for fear the winter may
set in early, the rivers become ice
bound and the mail fails to get to Its
destination this season. There are
thousands of letters awaiting trans
mission to Dawson.

view to securing authority for the

program which will follow will be
based on the provisions of the conven-

cession which was granted to an
American company by the Nicaraguan

The Walker commission which has
been holding meetings at the state
department, will make a preliminary
report to congress at the beginning
Of the of the session, setting forth its
estimate. Should this report show
that the cost will not be greater than

tion of canal under governmental

Nicaragua Waterway.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.--No matter
what the attitude of the Greater Re
public of Central America may be, it
is the intention of the administration
to recommend governmental control
of the Nicaragua canal when congress
assemblies next December. This was
made plain at a conference at the
state department participated in by
Assistant Secretaries Adee and Grid

Miller and Mr.. Merry, the recently ap-
pointed minister to Nicaragua, SAL
Yador and Costa Rica, regarding the
complications which have grown out
of the refusal of the governments of
Nicaragua and Salvador to receive Mr..
Merry.
1t is practically decided that Mr..
Merry shall go to Costa Rica, and
that the headquarters of the legation
shall be transferred to that country

taken TO make the transfer, however,
