Meaning of the Treaty One Way, and

Aside from the Philippine war the
subject engrossing most public atten-
tion Is the dispute between the United
cuts Alaska of Canada. The question,
officially, is in the hands of an Anglo
American commission, whose report Is
being withheld by the two govern
ments because, as 1t is reported. the
commission could not agree upon
terms Where the matter will end no.

the present Is, therefore, a most oppor
tune time to arrive at satisfactory
settlement of all territorial or other
questions at issue between the two
countries.
Some of the Difficulties.
But TO arrive at such a solution Il Is
necessary TO know where the equities
lie. Those being determined, 1t is next
requisite to ascertain what, If any.
thing, the other party has to offer In
return for waving or yielding any OF
these equities. This is the difficult
part Of the subject. BY the terms OF
the treaty Of 1925 between Great Brit.
ain and Russia, the provisions of which
were adopted at the treaty OF eession
between Russia and the United States
in 1867, the line of demarcation be.
tween Russian America, as II was then
called, and Great Britains North
American possessions, was defined.

supposed there was a range of noun.

The russians cared only for foothold
along the coast, as it was with the
nsherles they were concerned. The
treaty, however, made provision as I'd

place there Is no such natural bound,

ted States) territory to a distance Of
ten marine leagues, or thirty miles,
from the coast. The Canadian and
British contention, as now made. turns
upon the Portland canal. The British.
at least until recently, have claimed
that the words Portland canal or chan
mel in the convention were mistake
for Benin canal or Clarence inlet, or
else that what is now called Portland
canal was not then SO called.
Construe Treaty Dffferently.
This atfferenee In the respective
American and Canadian boundary
lines of the Alaska panhandle strip
arises from wholly different methods
of constituting the treaty. There are
many ihti IuCStiOliS luNOlNtu III
the methods of construction For in
stance, In determining the ten marine
leagues from the coast to which. in the
absence of mountain chain, the
American territory extends, shall SIN
uosities of the shore Of the mainland
be followed or should the line be run
from headland to headland? Again.
shall the line be considered to run ten
marine leagues east of the outer shore
of the islands? In that case in many
Instances the line would not reach the
mainland, as some of the islands are
other hand, the Hon. David Mills says
that In pursuance of its method of de-
termining the boundary the United
States in many places has drawn its
boundary line ''more than 100 miles
from the coast" TO explain these di-
vergent points of view 1t is necessary
the nature of the Alaskan coast be un-
derstood, or at least that part of it,
nearly 500 miles long, extending south
by southeast from the body of the ter
ritory, as this is the part with which
the boundary dispute concerns itself.
AS to this part of the Alaskan coast 1t
may be said in general that lofty
mountain range extends from Observ-
atory inlet to Cooks inlet and then
sweeps toward the Asiatic side along
the peninsula. A group, or several
groups, of islands, many of them of
considerable extent. lie off the shore
and from Cross sound to Observatory
inlet and the coast below to Puget
Sound there is series of islands which
are so situated as to--ieaye between

venes between parts of the United
States Curiously but naturally enough,
Great Britain, or rather Canada, is now
seeking another outlet to the coast, and
this time through what, since the ces-
sion of Alaska to the United States
thlrty-two years ago, has always been
considered American territory. What
historical or treaty right has Great
Britain or Canada to such an outlet?
The question is not an easy one to an
swer. Great Britain's title to British
North America from the 141st degree
of west longitude (meridian of Green
wich) rests, like that Of the United
States to Alaska, upon her treaty with
Russia. Russa's right certainly was
vague one, and amounted at best
only to claim in regard to the vast
interior of whose extent at the time
she had no conception. Great Britain's
title to the Northwest east of 141st de-
gree of longitude has never been seri-
ously questioned. 1t is only in regard
to the southeastern part of the boun-
dary line, which is formed irregularly
by mountains and line extending
thirty miles from the coast, that there
has arisen question in recent years
which has grown into great Importance
by the discovery of new gold field in
the Klondike region.
Now Is the Time to Act.
BY the same treaty 1925 the free
of hD 81 ,,ix,
granted. but this also at the time was
regarded as of little Importance. The
discovery of gold in the Stikine chang
ed the situation. AS early as 1869 the
British COlonist, an English newspaper
of Victoria, B. c., perceived the desira-
bility of Great Brltain's acquiring in
some way depot on the Pacific for
this part of the British possessions. 1t
affirmed that the strip of land stretch
ing along from Portland Canal to
Mount st. Elias, with breadth of ten
marine leagues. must eventually be-
come the property OF Great Britain,
either as the direct result of the deyel-
opment of gold, or for reasons which
are now yet in the beginning, but
whose results are certain" At that
time the British Colonist looked for
ward to obtaining this strip from Rus
sia either peaceably or forclbly, and
conjured up vision of the British lion
and the Russian bear looking at each
other from the opposite sides of Bering
straits. Possibly Russia also may have
felt that such contest was coming
and wisely saw that for her, situated
as she was. It would be Improbable.
Not caring to stand at the door of Brit
ish America on the Pacific, she proba-
bly, counted upon making the United
States doorkeel,er. And this Is role
that, until recently, would have been
pleasant enough 10 the United States.
The events of the last year have, how
ever, greatly modified the traditional
feeling between the two countries. and

Evaded War with England.

BY the Oregon settlement of 1916
Great Britain got TO the Pacific, that
solution at the time being regarded as
preferable to lighting or to a probable
contest all along the Pacific coast with
England for supremacy. The United
States sacrificed the great Northwest
IN order TO acquire New Mexico and
California. Everything considered.
that probably was the best solution. 1t
gave the United States n compact ter

the United States are always to remain
separate countries, 1t Is bur reasonabl
the former should have Its outlet on

of Alaska and British Columbia as

of Alaska and British Columbia as
they can. This commission was as
signed several other matters Of arbitra-
tiOn or adjustment, but the boundary
question is the one which demands the
quickest settlement. for 1t is liable any
day to create trouble between the two
governments.
AS to the Alaska boundary question,
1t Is unfortunate that the commission
failed to agree. AS to which party Is
to blame for this non-agreement, there
seems to be a general agreement.
Scarcely had the commission been ap-
pointed before Ontario passed a decree
practically prohibiting the export of
logs. Not to be behind In international
amity, British Columbia passed law
confining all mining privileges in that
province to British subjects. The mem
bers had worked together in greatest
harmony for the accomplishment of
the great purpose of the commission,
but since ii was seen that provinces
such as Ontario and British Columbia
had 1t in their power TO enact laws
which might make of no effect n gem
eral settlement as proposed the difficult
ties have greatly increased.
A year ago provisional boundary
was agreed upon with the exception of
a few miles of the Dalton trail ut the
end of Chilkoot pass from Pyramid
harbor. At the same time the growing
Importance of the Alaska territory In
dispute rs furnishing the gateway to
the I'll Dorado of the North impresses
the necessity for the prompt settlement
of the boundary dispute. To under
stand the difficulties of the case his
torlcal and geographical review is nee
essary.
History of Question in Dispute.
BY the Webster-Ashburton treaty Of
1912 between the United States and
Great Britain the northern and east
ern boundaries We're accurately defined
from the Rocky Mountains TO Mars
Hill, at the eastern end of Maine. In
regard to the northern and western
boundary, after considerable discussion
and diplomatic fencing, the question
was left unsettled. Out of this boun-
Diary question grew the excitement
which led to the adoption of the cam
paign cry, "Fifty-four forty or fight
How this old boundary question has
been at least partially revived involves
an interesting play Of treaty against
treaty and rights against rights. TO
understand 1t, 1t is necessary to go back
to the ukase of the Emperor Alexander
|. in 1922, by which he declared all the
territory of the Pacific coast north of
the Gfty-first parallel of north latitude
Russian territory, and by the same
ukasc made that part of the Pacific
Ocean lying north of the fifty-iirst par
allel of latitude in America to 40 de-
grees north latitude on the Asiatic
coast q closed sea. The effect OF this
Walker Lake bulletin. (Hawthorne, Nev.) 1883-1926, 1899-07-26

ukase was TO exclude United States
whalerS from the Northern Pacific, an
exclusion which the Government of
the United States vigorously protested.
and as result, in 1924, by treaty be-
tween the two governments, the North
ern Pacific was made an open sea.

The Suffolk correspondent of the

''Mr. w. b. Hawkins, banker of

This is one of the best of the fra
ternal insurance orders and its death

1t will be recalled that the late
James A. Rem, of Oxford, was a
