to the Earl Of Buchan's estate III Aber-

which made him general fav0. tie. The
old Earl of Buchan, a bachelor, who
received much company and lived high

HendersOn's voice, and Often had him
at the castle for the diversion Of his
guests Henderson had The additional
gift of imprOyising rhymes readily, and
frequently composed new songs on tie

entertainment of the Earls visitors.
On one occasion when Henderson's eff

Earl told him he might occupy a good
sized striprof land at the head Of Old
Deer's main street, promising that tho
land should remain rent free to three
generations of his descendants. Ac
COrdingly Henderson built a row Of six
small stone houses, investing virtually

made clear to him, Henderson turned,

FANTASTIC ALASKAN CLAIM"
Nothing to Contest or to Arbitrate; Moth
ing That Can Be Surrendered.

From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
A new and enlarged edition has been
published of Miner Bruce's work on AL
aska, and it contains a review Of the
boundary controversy which has eX-
cited much attention and some feeling
lately in the United States, England
and Canada. The author spent 10 years
in Alaska and in preparing the three
successive editions Of his work has
been thoroughly over the ground of AL
aska's history and Of the resources of
the territory as far as developed. Like
other writer's who go into the details
of the Canadian position on the boun-
dary, he is amazed that it should be
seriously asserted. He says the claim is
utterly indefensible, and must be une-
quivocally refused. By the treaty Of
1925 England recognized Russia's own
ership of Alaska, and continued this
recognition after the purchase of the
territory by the United States in 1867.
Early in the century, before the treaty
of 1925 was made. the Hudson Bay
company paid Russia an annual rental
for the privilege of trading in the in
land waters northwest of the Portland
canal. The United States maintained a
garrison at the mouth Of the canal until
1870, and custom house until 1889.
No change as noticed in the maps of
Alaska, British, Canadian, or other. un-
til 1887. In that year the lines Of the
British maps were quietly altered to
include a strip never before questioned
under either Russian or American own
ership. 1t was about that time that the
value of Southeastern Alaska became
known. Its gold deposits were seen to
be important and the timber along the
coast a rich possession. Increased COM
mercial activity on the Pacific is an
other reason why Canada wants har-
bors as an outlet to the vast stretches
of British America. Up to 1887 no one
disputed that the boundary, as dis
tinctly defined in the treaty between
England and Russia, extended 10 ma
rine leagues, or "a miles, inland, from
every point, bay or inlet marking the
line of salt water, unless range Of
mountains ran parallel with the coast,
in which case the summit of the range
became the limit. 1t is perfectly clear
that the treaty retained for Russia eV-
cry harbor along the coast of Alaska.
and both sides understood that such
was the meaning of the text. There IS
nothing to contest or to arbitrate, and
nothing that can be surrendered.

jim SANT| COMES BACK
Given a Brief Holiday From the
Penitentiary.
HE is HERE AS A WITNESS
Accuses His Nephew OF Stealing His
Goods and Chattels Out of His
Cabin-Convicted Murderer
Looks Well.

Fat, healthy and apparently in good
spirits, Jim Santi came back to Ana
conda yesterday. Santi is serving a
life sentence at the Deer Lodge peni-
tentiary, and although Frank O'Brien
has predicted that he will not live half
of it he appears actually in better
health than when he was committed.
Santi came back to give evidence
against his nephew, Tony Dyer, whom
Santi regards as the black sheep of his
family. Before Santi went to the peni-
tentiary he lived in a cabin wherein he
had furniture and bedding and all the
paraphernalia for cooking spaghetti
and such other nourishment as he
craved. After his Incarceration all this
disappeared. Santi charges this nephew
Tony with having stolen the insides out
of the cabin and sold them to a second
hand man.
Several weeks ago Santi wrote a let
ter from Deer Lodge to Sheriff Conley
making the charges against the boy
and asking that he be arrested. Tony
had gone to Idaho, but he came back
over the line and was arrested and
brought here. The charge against him
is grand larceny.
Yesterday Tony Dyer was up for pre-
liminary examination before Justice
Frank Kennedy. To testify against him
Santi was brought over from Deer
Lodge by Deputy Sheriff Robinson.
Santfs hair was closely clipped, but his
queer little eyes twinkled brightly and
pleasantly as he entered the court room
handcuffed. He wore a suit of tweed
and made a good appearance.
An effort to examine him directly
when he was called as the first witness
proved futile, for he failed to under
stand questions In answer to a ques
ton rs to whether he ever owned any
property said no" and now and then
would start off into a galloping ex-
PLANTATION of the case in a language
that was neither Italian nor English.
Finally an Interpreter was summoned
and the examination went more
smoothly.
Santi testified that the property was
worth 500 at least and asserted it was
in his cabin when he left it.
Attorney Walsh, for the defense, went
into long and searching examination
seeking to prove the property was not
worth enough to Justify a charge of
grand larceny. He made Santi place
price on every article enumerated This
examination was still in progress when
court adjourned at p. m. until 10 a. m.
to-day.

Santi then went on to say that while
he was in Jail Dyer came to him to ask
for the goods in the house, but he re-
fused to give them up. Despite his re-
fusal he said Tony took the goods any
how.
How do you like Deer Lodge?" Santi
was asked.

Ants That Carry Umbrellas.

From Pearson's Weekly.
OF all the insects in South America
the umbrella ants are the most Curl
GUS and interesting. They are also call
ed wee-wees They throw up great
mounds along the forest paths and
from the mounds radiate well-beaten
roads four or five inches wide, running
in all directions.
The umbrella ants, when they build
near a garden, give rise to the ques-
tion which is to survive-themselves or
the garden? for they will eat up the
plants. They will strip a good sized
orange tree in a night and carry off the
spoil cut in thumb-nail pieces, which
they store up in their homes.
1t was necessary in one instance to
remove a mound of the umbrella ants
building, and $50 cubic yards of earth
had to be dug up before the task was
accomplished.
The ants have four classes-queens,
drones, workers and builders. When
once they have made up their minds
to strip a certain tree nothing but
death will stop them. A faint idea of
the number of ants in a hill can be
gained from the statement that one of
their paths to a tree, nearly half a
mile long, will be thronged with the
multitudes carrying their umbrela-like
loads above their heads. while thou
sands upon thousands are swarming
in the doomed tree. If caught in the
rain they drop their loads and scurry
home. for they hate water.

TO CARE FOR THE INSANE
Large New Hospital Being Erect
ed at Warm Springs.
Is A MODERN BUILDING
Equipped With All Modern Hospital Ds-
vices-It With Other improvements
Being Made Win Cost One Hun
dred Thousand Dollars.

Work on the handsome new hospital
building being erected as a part of the
insane asylum at Warm Springs is pro-
crossing rapidly. The walls are now
up to the first story.
The building is being erected by Drs.
Mitchell & Mussigbrod the insane asy-
lum contractors. 1t, with various other
Improvements now under course of con-
struction, will cost about S1O0 900.
While designed chiefly for hospital
purposes a portion Of the building may
be pressed into service for the perman-
ent occupancy of patients, for the num-
ber at the institution is growing. There
are now over 500 insane people at the
asylum, over 100 of whom have been
sent there since the first of the year.
Brick, stone and iron are the ma
terials to be used in the construction of
the new building. The foundation is of
granite. There is high basement and
above that two stories. The building
will be completed this fall.
The chief features of the new build
ing, aside from the many smaller rooms,
are two large wards and an operat ting
room. The latter, it is expected, will
be the finest of the kind in the West.
The idea in the construction of the hos
pital is to make it a model of its kind
equipped with every modern improve
ment. The walls are to be treated with
new preparation which allows abso-
lutely no lodgment for microbes. There
will be no corners in the rooms where
microbes could find a home, for all
functions of walls with floor and cell
ing will be rounded. Even the window
sashes and door easements will be
treated in the same way. The floors
are all to be tiled. The wards will be
commodious rooms, light and airy.
The several buildings comprising the
asylum are now crowded, and for the
proper care of the patients the contrac-
tors have found it necessary to erect
the new building
In addition to this structure, new
store rooms, work shops, lumber sheds,
stables and other necessary outbuild-
ings are being erected or reconstructed.
A visitor to the institution is struck
by the air of perfect cleanliness and
comfort that prevades the whole place.
Floors and walls are spotless, the at
mosphere of the buildings is pure and
wholesome, and the whole institution
seems to be managed on the most hy-
gienic basis.
