ALASKA'S BOUNDARY LINES.
COMMISSIONERS AT QUEBEC SAID TO
HAVE REACHED AN AGREEMENT.
QUESTION MAY BE DETERMINED BY AN OUTSIDE
CONFESSIONAL RGUMENT AGAINST CHANGE
IN LUMBER TARIFF.

IN LUMBER TARIFF
Quebec. Aug 31-Important work has been
done by the Conference Commissioners to-day
ard the remaining two days before the recess
will probably be fully as important. Altnough
not officially announced, it is known that the
discussion to-day has been upon the question
OF the boundary lines Of Alaska. 1t Is said that
an agreement has been reached by the joint
Commission. and that the settlement OF the
question will be left to outside commission.
70 he composed of foreign arbitrators or to n
commission Of four, composed Of one from the
United States one from Great Britain. from
Canada and one from one Ct the foreign Powers
The settlement Of the boundaries is now merely
a matte-' of Interpretation Of the old treaty OF
1920. Surveys have been made by both the
United States ard Canada. and each nation
now fully understands the contention OF the
other.
Tomorrow probably much Of the time OF the
American Commissioners will he taken up by
the arguments of the umbermen from the
United States The lumber interests are rep
resented by Smith 5. Randall. Of Augusta. Me:
s T Mcknight OF. Minneapolis. and Charles
W. Goodacre of Buffalo. They arrived in Que
bee to-day. and say they will present some
strong arguments to the Commission tomorrow
against any change in the present tariff on
Canadian lumber. One Of them stated tonight
that the lumber industry in the United States
directly and indirectly gives employment to
more people in the United States than there are
In the entire Dominion Of Canada Over five
millions of people. he asserts are. in one way
or another. employed in the lumber industry in
the United States
The argument Is that the tariff affecting so
important industry the lumber trade
should be governed by an act OF Congress. and
not by a treaty An act Of Congress. they say.
may he repealed. while treaty must stand. no
matter how great an injury it might work TO
the interests Of the United States. They say
that the lumber trade is the leading industry Of
twelve States of the Union. and that Canada has
nothing of equal importance 70 give to the
United States
The lumbermen believe that Canada Will offer
TO lower or 10 remove the duty on American cot
ton goods in exchange for the lowering or the
removal Of the 50 a thousand feet duty on Ca
madam lumber This they say would he bad
bargain for the United States as millions would
be in iured hv the free entry Of Canadian lum-
ber into the United States market, while com
paratively few would be benefited by the free
entry Of American cotton goods into the mar
kets Of Canada.
