tory without crossing the Lake of tho WoodSf
The little camille of land became ours through the
ignorance Of everybody concerned in the negotia-
lions OF 17eS. The boundary line was brought up
to the Lake Of the Woods correctly enough. Then
the treaty said: Through the said lake to the most
northwestern point thereof. and from thence on Q
due west course 10 the river Mississippi.' In time Il
was learned that the Mississippi was not west of the
Lake Of the Woods. 30 the boundary line had to be
revised. The revision was made In the treaty of Lon
don In 1917. ~ follows: Agreed. q line drawn from
the point of the Lake ofthe Woods along
the forty ninth parallel OF north latitude, or IL the
said point shall not be In the forty-ninth parallel Of
north latitude. then that Q line drawn from the said
point due north or south. ~ the case may be, until
the said line shall interseot the said parallel Of north
latitude. and from the point Of such intersection due
west along and with tho aAid parallel. shall be the
line Of demarcaton." When the northwestern point
was located Anally 1t was found to be north Of the
forty-ninth parallel; 80 the line ran south. cutting Of
. little chunk Of Canada and giving 1t to us. This
isolated part Of tn" country contains about 100
square miles. and has few or no inhabitants.
