SEVERELY BURNED q e,
CLEANING GLOVES
j. C. ST. CLAIRE MEETS WITH PAIN
Full INJURlES-AGENT FOR THE
OREGON SHORT LINE.

While trying to clean pair OF gloves
with gasoline yesterday afternoon ]. c.
St. Claire was severely burned. He was
working in the rear office Of the Oregon
Short Line headquarters on Main street
He had saturated the gloves with gaso-
line, and while thus employed he took a
notion that he wanted to smoke
Lighting a match he applied it to his
pipe. The gas from the gasoline COM
municatcd with the match and there was
q loud report. For an instant St. Claire
was stunned and did not know where he
was. The people in the front of the
office were attracted by the report, which
sounded like a cannon. They went back
and found St. Claire waving his hands
in pain.
Both hands and arms were severely
burned as the result OF the little expert
ence, and it is remarkable that nothing
more serious resulted. In talking about
the accident later on, ST. Claire said that
he was like the man who had foole
with gun and did not know that it was
loaded. Today he is nursing his burned
members, and it will be several days be
fore he can use them again.
J. {. st. Claire is travelling freight and
passenger agent Of the Oregon Short
Line. He has just returned from a yisi,
to Salt Lake.

STORY THAT THE STONES
HAVE BEEN DlSREGARDED
And That the Line is Far From Where
It Should Have Been---Our Man Is
Back With His Report, Which Has
Been Referred to a Commission, and
Nothing Can Be Learned About It.
IBY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington. Nov. 6.--Lieut. George 7.
Emmons, u. S. n. retired has made to the
secretary of state his report upon the
results of hs investigation along the Alas
kan boundary OF certain stories which have
found frequent repetition in late years to
the effect that monuments have been dis
covered marking the boundary line be
tween Alaska and the British Northwest
Territory at point many leagues further
from the sea than the British have been
willing to admit.
Lieutenant Emmons was selected for the
work of inquiry because he was thoroughly
familiar with the country in whica the sup
posed boundary stones exist. He spent
much OF the past summer in the region.
and now has reached conclusion. The
state department at this time will not make
the report public. The inquiry is regarded
as but one chapter in long series OF in
vestigatons which have been going on for
the past years under the auspices Of the
state department. 1t is said the depart
ment has investigated promptly every
rumor bearing on the existence Of bound
ary monuments which presented the least
appearance of plausibiliy.
He Is Keeping Mum.
Lieutenant Emmons declares that he has
not breathed a word of the nature Of his
conclusions to anyone except the officials
here i'll Washington. Still it is regarded as
fair conjecture that he has not found the
stones reported to exist to the boundary
monuments, or else the state department
would regard as incumbent on it to take
steps to bring that fact to the attention Of
the British government with view to
securing a ratification of the temporary
boundary.
Instead OF dong this the report has been
referred to ex-Secretary John w. Foster
and Senator Fairbanks for their informal
ton. They are members OF the high joint
commission which was charged with the
settlement of the Alaskan boundary ques-
ton among many other important matters
