acter Of ''Silas Peck" the new England
farmer Mr.. burrows and his numerous
assistants were kept busy supplying the
thirsty public with pure, sweet cider
fresh from the mill. An idea OF the guam
tity of this refreshing drink that WAS dis
pensed at the mill can be gained when it
Is stated that during the fair fourteen tons
OF apples were used.
There were two interesting exhibits OF
the products of the soil at the fair which
were not entered for competition, hut
which nevertheless attracted much atten-
ton from the visitors because of their
value and interest from an educational
standpoint These were from the state
agricultural college nj Pullman, Wash. and
from the experimental station at the uni

The Alaskan East BOUNDARY

Word comes from Alaska that the
customs officers of British Columbia
have raised the dominion flag at the
summit of the White pass, claiming
that point as on the boundary line.
Our authorities claim that it Is ten
miles within the Alaska side of that
line. The question gets Importance
from the mineral deposits that cross
the border, and the Canadian regula-
lions relative to mining and import Of
supplies. The dispute covers the en-
tire distance from the southernmost
point of Alaska to Cape Spencer, where

whole region is underlaid with yalu.

to be source of irritation until fixed
The dispute turns upon the inter-
probation of the Anglo Russian treaty
of 1926 relative to the dividing line
south of Mount st. Elias, the proyis
ion relating to which was Incorporated
into our treaty of purchase. That

tween the British possessions and the
line of coast which is to belong to
Russia shall be formed by line par

which shall never exceed ten marine
leagues therefrom.'
The formation along this entire dis
lance indicates a subsistence of tho
crust that has left the greater eleva-
lions as islands, with inlets, or can

ton of the United States is that the
coast line is the mainland; the English
contention is that the outer or west
ern shore of the islands is the line.
This would put Lynn canal and the
Dyea and Skaguay territory within
dominion lines. The English con-
struction is a strained one A coast

that his first labor was the construc-
ton of a cabinet, and during those
days when he pursued that labor. in
terrupted by the advisory visits of
statesmen and the reconciliation of
their wishes with those of Mr.. Hanna,
one Of those gentlemen of the press
who haunted Canton reported the pres
ident-elect as exclaiming: Where can
I find an Olney?" 1t may have been
merely one Of those dreams that COZ
respondents, hard pressed for news
and possessed by fertile ina ginations
sometimes construct and send out as
news, but subsequent results in cabinet
making lend to the story the founda-
ton of proba bility. 1t is fair to as
sumo that the incoming president, with
the Venezuela matter not securely sea-
tied, with the Cuban ENHANCEMENT still
in snarl, to say nothing of the vexing
matter of pelagic sealing, was sincerely

of state who would fill that important
place as ably as had Mr. Olney
And it is very certain that he did not
find him. Instead he gave up the
search for the fit man to select the unu

point that John Sherman is merely /.

came a more serious matter AS sen.

TIME TO GET TOGETHER.
Democrat Says the Party Leaders
Should Curb Their Jealousy.


Should Curb Their Jealousy.
To The St. Paul Globe:
Will you kindly permit me, through the
columns Of your paper, to suggest method
by which the troubled water of Democracy
might be soothed, and the party, which is to-
day foundering in the mud of local discord
and personal antagonism be restored TO its
legal and former rights and enabled to act
in harmony, Independent of factionalism and
petty feuds, during the impending campaign,
and the prominent adherents of the striving
factions cleansed from that suspicion of self
promotion which attaches to the individ
ual advocates of fractional differences?
During the campaign of two years ago
local Democracy, through arbitrary tactics
and personal jealousy, divided into two fac
lions, thereby causing not only the victory
of the opposite party, but actually leaving
the local Democratic party without legal
existence. The rank and file of Democracy
have a right to expect from their leaders
something better than the continuation of
those jealous tactics and this political ma
liciouSneSs which means nothing more nor
less than defeat at the polls and doubt as to
existence of their rights.
If the leaders of the existing factions wish
to convince the people that they are loyal
to their party and have the welfare of its
adherents at heart, they will adopt some
means of reconciliation, and thereby regain
the respect and confidence of united De-
mocracy.
l would suggest, as simple and effective
plan, that they adopt the method used in
the selection Of jurors, viz: Have the char-
man of each faction select three names each,
and put them with their own in shuttle box
the first name drawn to be the chairman
of the city committee. In like manner the
ward committeeman can select their choice

and issue the call for the primaries and one

required.
refusal to accede to this some 9TH

and give to the people fair warning that II
