failed to agree. AS to which party is
to blame for this non-agreement, there
seems to be q 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 Il law
combining 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 it was e that provinces
such as Ontario and British Columbia
had it in. their power to enact laws
which might make of nc effect a gen
eral settlement as proposed the Difficult
ties have greatly increased.
a year ago provisional boundary
was agreed upon with the exception of
q few miles of the Dalton trail at the
end of Chilkoot pass from Pyramid
harbor. At the same time the growing

History of Question in Dispute.
BY the Observation-Disclosures 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, "Tifty-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, it is necessary to go back
to the ukase of the Emperor Alexander
I. in 1922, by which he declared all the
territory of the Pacific coast north of
the tifty-first parallel of north latitude
Russian Territory, and by the same
ukase made that part Of the Pacific
Ocean lying north Of the fifty-lrst par
allel of latitude in America to 40 de-
grees north latitude on the Asiatic
coast a closed sea. The effect of this
ukase was to exclude United States
whalers from the Northern Pacific, an
exclusion which the Government of
the United States vigorously protested,
and as a result, in 1924, by treaty be-
tween the two governments, the North
ern Pacific vas made an open sea.
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 fighting or to q 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. II

has arisen a question in recent years
which has grown into great Importance
by the discovery of a new gold teld in
the Klondike region.
Now Is the Time to Act,

Now Is the Time to Act.
BY the same treaty (1S25) 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
cd 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
this part of the British possessions. 1t
affirmed that the strip of land stretch
ing along from Portland Canal to
Mount st. Elias, With II breadth of ten
marine leagues. "must eventually he
come the property of Great Britain,
either as the direct result of the devel-
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 p%eaccably OF forcibly, and
conjured up Il vision of the British lion
and the Russian bear looking ut each
other from the opposite sides of Boring
straits. Possibly Russia also may have

States doorkeelHr. And this is a role
that, until recently, would have been
pleasant enough to the United States.
The events of the last year have. how
ever, greatly modified the traditional
feeling between the WI countries, and
the present is, therefore. q most oppor-
tune time to arrive Mt n satisfactory
settlement of all territorial or other
questions at issue between the two
countries.
Some of the Difficulties.
Eut to arrive at such a solution 1t is
necessary to know where the equities
lie. Those being determined, it is next
requisite to ascertain what, il 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 cession
between Russia and the United States
in 1867. the line of demarcation be-
tween Russian America. as 1t was then
called, and Great Britain's North
American possessions, was defined.

The Russians cared only for n fnothold

said he was born, and where the bones of
his fathers rested. The president and the
secretary were nonplused and the sena-
tor somewhat disheartened.
Some days afterward, however, Mr..
Roman, the Indian agent came to Senator
Vest and said that he believed there was
one way in which Chariot could be in
duced to join his tribe on the Jocko reser-
walton. He said that the old chief was
almost blind; he was passionately fond of
hunting and could no longer enjoy it.
If. added the agent, "his eyesght can
be even partially restored 7 believe he
would join his people on the Jocko.'
THE senator placed the suggestion be.
fore Secretary Teller and was authorized
to employ an oculist. DR.. Marmfbn.
Well-known specialist, made an examina-
ton and reported that Chariot had cat
aract on each eye, but that he could re-
move the trouble by an operation. The
senator impressed upon the physician the
Importance of making no mistake in the
matter. If the operation proved unsuc-
cessful every Indian in the Bitter Root
valley would believe that Chariot had
been brought to Washington for the pur-
pose of destroying his eyesight The chief
was put under a prescribed regimen for
two weeks, when the operation was sue
cessfully performed and the cataracts re-
moved. Ten days afterward the bandages
were taken from his eyes. At first Char
lot could see very little. Soon, however.
his face frightened. Senator Vest was
standing in front of him. When asked
what he saw, he replied
g I see the man with the scar between
his eyes
This referred to an almost impercepti-
BILE scar on Senator Vests face caused by
a wound received when child, while
learning to walk. Even the senator's
most intimate friends would never notice
it.
Chariot seemed pleased with the result
of his treatment and is now living on
the Jocko reservation as the hereditar,

SCIENCE SCORES AGAIN.
A Preparation That Will Destroy the
Dandruf Germ Discovered.

Finally the scientific student has dis
covered a certain remedy for dandrun.
When it first became known that DAN
druff is the result of germ or parasite
that digs into the scalp and saps the
vitality of hair at the root, causing fall
ing hair and badness, biologists set to
work to discover some preparation that
will kill that germ. After years labor
in one labratory, the dandruff germ de-

Evans annual report attest that he has done nothing which entities him to the condemnation of fair and square old soldiers who desire to see the pension office adminis- tered solely in the interest of jus tice.
 The report states that during the year there were added to the pen sion rolls 4o,99I names, and 43,- I86 were dropped. Of those drop ped 34,345 are names of pensioners who have died since the last report was presented. The annual value of the entire pension roll amounts to the great sum of SI3I,617, ,96I, and this, the report states, is $649,- 496 more than 1t ever was before, the substantial increase being due to higher average value of pen sions. Nearly d million persons are now on the rolls; of these 753,- 45I are old soldiers, 237,415 wid- ows and dependent relatives, and 653 nurses. This makes grand total of 99I,5I9. During the year AS ,765 new applications were filed, including, it is explained, those growing out of our war with Spain.

The big oil mill will soon be in.operation and they are also putting in d telephone system. Next to Warren, Monticello is the best town in South Arkansas. Her only drawback heretofore has been lack of good wholesome water, and now, with this diff culty overcome, we may expect to see the town grow. Monticello is chock full of big hearted, enter prising people and when they de eide to do a thing they never let up until it is accomplished. They have met with many difficulties and diseouragemcnts in their eff forts to get water and we are glad to know that their labor is at last crowned with success.-Warren Sentinel.

The following from Pine Bluff correspondent to the Arkansas Ga zette will be read with interest by Walters friends here
 An interesting letter from Wal ter B. Tardy, who Is on board the flagship Baltimore. was received by Pine Bluff friend today. Mr. Tardy was appointed to Annapo- lis by Hon. Clifton K. Brckin- ridge, at the time congressman from the district. Tardy is a graduate of the Hinemon Univer- sity, Monticello. and his parents live in Jefferson county. Tardy writes most interestingly and re- ates that he was in Manila bay about the time the instruction be- gan. He is an aide on the staff of Admiral Watson, in the capacity of fleet signal officer. The staff had sent their laundry on shore and it was destroyed by fire during the melee. Mir. Hardly relates that rain in the vicinity of Manila is al- most continuous during the months of July, August and September. During twelve hours on the roth of July the rainfall was 7. 30 inches. The duties of a fleet signal officer, according to Mir. Tardy, are quite pleasant and not at all onerous. He is probably the only naval ca det on the personal staff of an ad- miral. Next April he will finally graduate at Annapolis, and he will return home for that purpose, com ing on transport via San Fran cisco, and thus completing the cir cult of the globe. From March 18th to May 18th of the present year Mir. Tardy served on the Olympia with Dewey.
