that in pursuance OF its method OF De

ritory, as this is the part with which
the boundary dispute concerns itself.
AS to this part Of the Alaskan coast II
may be said in general that a 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

considered American territory. What
historical or treaty right has Great
Britain or Canada to such an Ouflet9
The question Is not an easy one 10 an
swer. Great Britain's title to British
North America from the 141st degree
of west longitude (meridian OF Green
wich) rests, like that ct the United
States to Alaska, upon her treaty Win
Russia. Russia's right certainly was
a vague one, and amounted at best
only to a claim in regard to the vast
interior Of whose extent at the time
she had no conception. Great Britains
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-
Diary line, which is formed irregularly
by mountains and q line extending
thirty miles from the coast. that there
has arisen a question In recent years
which has grown into great importance
by the discovery of new gold field IN
the Klondike region.
Now 10 the Time to Act.
By the same treaty Q820 the free
navigation of the Stikine river was
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 1863 the
British Colonist, an English newspaper
of Victoria, B. c., perceived the desira-
bility Of Great Britain's acquiring in
some way a depot on the Pacific for
The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1899-07-20

and that what is known as the three
mile limit would apply. The British
and Canadians assert that the terri
torial waters of the United States com
mence at Point Bridget, at the mouth
OF Berner's bay, where the Lynn canal
is less than six miles wide, and that
consequently ten marine leagues from
Point Bridget would make the bound
airy line at Point Seduction. This would
place Dyea twenty-five miles within
British territory and Skaguay sixteen.
The United States, however, in its
maps has followed the coasts of inlets,
especially Of such great inlets as those
along the Alaskan coast, where the
water Is salt and of great depth, and
plainly part Of the ocean. Even
granting the British contention that in
the case Of the Lynn canal the terri
torial waters begin at Point Bridget,
the American settlements at Dyea and
Skaguay, Katsihin and Pyramid har.
Dor, were made in good faith and at a
time when there was no question as to
whether they were in American terri.
tory. Following the precedent estab-
lished by Great Britain herself in the
Venezuelan case, these places, in case
of the boundary line being submitted
to arbitration, should be excepted. To
regard the coast line as running across
the heads Of inlets, when they are more
than thirty-three miles long, as the
British contend it should, would affect
the territory bordering upon the Lynn
canal, especially the White and Chill
koot passes, which, according to
American contention. are within ten
marine leagues of the coast but no.
according to the British contention. n
is now practically or Professionally
agreed that the boundary line crosses
the White and Chilkoot passes, as
while these do not constitute a noun
tain chain, they may be said to serve
the purpose Of mountain barrier and
thus come within the meaning Of the
treaty of 1926.

Aside from the Philippine war. the
subject engrossing most public atten-
ton is the dispute between the United
States and England over the line which
cuts Alaska off 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 it is reported. the
commission could not agree upon
terms. Where the matter win end mo-
body knows now, for both Uncle Sam
and John Bull are anxious to get for
their subjects as much of the gold land
Of Alaska and British Columbia as
they can. This commission was as
signed several other matters Of arbitra-
ton or adjustment, but the boundary
question is the one which demands the
quickest settlement, for it Is liable any
day to create trouble between the two
governments.
