BRITAIN's CLAIM.

Hss No Ris bs 60 Alaskan Territory over
witch Her Flag Has Been Raised.
WASHINGTON, March 5-The break
NO out anew of the controversy over
he boundry line between Alaska and
British Columbia created much inter
st among officials to-day aud calls at
tention to the necessity for for
dnal disposition of the bouudry
,sue While matter whose
I'D Indication rests in the juris-
iiction OF the State department it
pointed out here officially that the
maps and data prepared with the
greatest care and precision by the
coast aud geographical survey au-
thorities sustained In every point the
position assumed by the United states
with respect to its domain. There is,
however, an important question OF
construction of the terms OF the
Anglo Russian treaty signed at St
Peters burg in February, 1925, upon
which our claims rest This govern
nent fixes upon salt water as the
basis Of definition OF the ocean, while
the British dispute this and claim the
stands as the ocean shore, which
would place the head OF the Lynn
canal in their territory giving them
the several important points like
Dyea and Skaguay.
Attention is called to the fact that
the treaty does not, as seems TO be
believed, prescribe a strip ten leagues
wide as American land, but il does
make the boundary line the summit
If the mountain range provided thai
range does not involve width OF over
ten leagues According to the coast
survey authorities, the summit Of
White pass, over which the British
dag is reported TO have been planted
ten miles upon the United States
side OF the ten league or thirty-mil'
boundary line.

A worthy old gentleman who had
never wandered far from his native
township before, went to Boston one
day In response to an invitation to
visit a relative. The Bostonian, in
showing his friend about town, took
him to the top of a tall Office building.
They took a look at the marvellous
landscape spread out before them and
prepared to descend. They entered
the elevator. 1t began it's swift jour

I am taking instructions at the Dress
Cutting academy S2S Main street, and
find the system and instructions
everything it is represented to be. I
find that the true art of dressmaking
is in knowing how to cut and fit per-
fectly; this is the foundation of dress
making, and anyone who will tell you
that it is necessary to be a, good sewer
first, are either personally benefited, or
else they do not know what they are
talking about. I have just put in six
months with one of the best dress
makers in this city, and what have L
gained? Nothing. I was kept on blind
stitching. basting, hemming, etc, but
the finer class of work, such as finish
ing, trimming, etc, was all done by
experts, and none of the apprentice
girls ever learned to complete one gar
ment. I was promised a system, and
to be taught how to use it. What did
I get? A pasteboard chart, and two
or three lessons, and the first goods /
cut into spoiled the whole garment. I
would not exchange what I have
learned at the Dress Cutting academy
for ten times what 1 was taught dur
ing the whole six months in a dress
making shop. NINA E. FELT.
