INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARY.

During the past summer the United
States geological survey and the coast
and geodetic survey have been CO.
operating in work of unusual impor-
lance and interest in redetermining
the line of the international boundary
between the United States and Can
ada from the crest of the Rocky noun
tains to the Pacific Ocean
The original treaty, signed in 1916,
which established the boundary at
the forty ninth parallel, did not pro-
vide for its immediate survey over this
section This was due partly to the
extreme difficulty and even danger of
conducting surveys in this region at
the time, and partly to the prevailing
opinion that so rough and distant a
region would be settled only in very
remote future. This view still pre-
vailed to certain extent when in 1857
TO 1861 surveys were actually carried
out, for it was then agreed by the
commissions representing both gov
ernments that it was inexpedient to
incur the expense of locating and
marking the boundary continuously,
because as they say in their official re-
port, the country would not be occu-
pied for generations to come. These
commissions, did, however, deter
mine the forty ninth parallel by as
Economical observations, and establish
ed monuments accordingly on each
large stream and every important trail
that crossed the boundary.
Explorations and settlement have far
outstripped the expectations entertain
ed forty odd years ago. In those Sec
tions where valuable mineral deposits
are supposed to exist the location of
the boundary has for several years
past been a question Of more or less
interesting dispute. The old cuttings
and monuments have become obscur-
ed, and in some instances rumor has
with purpose circulated false reports
that the monuments placed by the old
commission were incorrect. Canada
ested in having the line precisely fixed,
and steps are being taken toward the
establishment of a commission whose
determination shall be final.
The line traversed two mountain
districts, the Rocky mountains and
the Cascades and an intermediate
country which though hilly is not
so high The mountains carry heavy
forests, and along the line are diff
cult of access because the trails, once
ketp open by the Indians are now
greatly INSTRUCTED by fallen timber.
The surveyors frequently find the
game trails worn by bear and deer
the easiest routes to follow. The ex-
treme eastern range of the Rockies is
of alpine character, and glaciers and
precipices lie across the boundary
line. The work of the parties has
been arduous, but has been success
fully carried out, and report will

The rates in dining cars and i'll sleep
ing cars are unusually high. If
Americans are actually giving fewer
and smaller fees to Pullman porters,
they are doing exactly right. 1t re-
quires a man of heroic stature even in
the United States to refuse fees in
scores of instances in which they are
not earned; the American idea, how
ever, is for all employers to pay their
servants and for the public to pay
the employers.

1.-THE Mining Review" an import
ant industrial journal of Spain, de-
plores the fact that steamer which
recently took a cargo of iron ore from
Spain to the United States returned
with cargo of steel rails, because
of the absence of steel works in
Spain. To us the fact means that
our steel and iron works can not only
use all the immense quantities Of
iron ore we produce, but thanks to
our protective tariff, can use more.
and thus are obliged to buy abroad.
This is prosperity in three ways; first,
more work and more wages for the
American; more business for the
business community, and more reve-

Mrs. Roosevelt aversion to having
her picture in print has been some
what overcome since she became the
first lady in the land, although there
has been by no means a great variety
of her photographs published up to
date. Likewise Mrs. Low, wife of
the Mayor elect of New York, has
been unwilling to have her portrait
published, but now that Mr.. Low has
been chosen Mayor of the CHIEF
American city, she has yielded to a
natural desire on the part of the pub
lie to know how she looks.

The Boston Herald has got so far as
to hold that it is desirable to give
subsidies to American built ships, but
says it should be coupled with per-

which should not be entitled to subsi-

to be sailed under the United States

has been mentioned. We may look
to see it come clear round on good

Nine of the members of Roxbury
lodge took a ride to Northfeld on
Friday evening to visit the Good
Templars there. The horses thought
there was hardly snow enough for
sleighing, but the passengers enjoyed
their straw ride, the first one of the
season.
The Good Tempars' union was held
here last Wednesday. On account of
the Indictment weather there was a
small attendance in the afternoon and
but few representatives of lodges from
out of town. The meeting in the
evening was open to the public, the
speaker of the evening being Rev.
Remley S. Sidelinger of st. Johnsburv,
who pleased his hearers by numerous
funny stories, as well as by a stirring
talk on temperance. An Grafton was
read by Mr.. Gray of Waterbury and
an organ solo given by Miss Bragg of
Warren, with speaking, etc. by home
talent.

Mr.. Sidelinger, who also led the

He spoke very acceptably in both
places. 1t is a pleasant sign of the
liberal and Christian tendency of
twentieth century thought that a
Baptist minister is willing to frater-
nize with Universalists as well as
Congregationalists, and that his speak
ing is devoid of the narrow bigotry
of creed in which ministers used to
seem to take pride.
