question with feeling bordering on
disgust at what is popularity termed
the sacrifice of Canada by Great Brit

The people of Western Canada are
bitter because of this and the general
trend Of opinion seems to be that the
action of the British commissioners
mas started wave Of popular opin-
ion which may be the opening wedge
OF the weaving Of Canada from the
patriotic reliance upon the mother

The British commissioner, Lord AL

state in their manifesto, and then
agreeing to a compromise after dis

Montana GuIch Said to Eclipse the
KIondike,

Butte, Mont, Oct. 21.-Almost fab
ulous finds of gold ore have been made
on Owl creek. according to reports re-
ceived in Butte from Hamilton, Mont.
The greatest excitement prevails over
the discovery, which is said to eclipse
the klondlke finds, and stampede is
on.
Miles Rommey, mayor Of Hamilton,
says ten massive lodges uncovered on
the side Of the mountain blaze in in
Vulnerable spots from the CLINT Of
gold, dazzling the eye. A towering
cliff overhangings the leads, and far
below the gulch is choked with bould-
ers sloughed from the heights.
These chunks of ore, Romney de-
clares, range in size from hazel nuts
to chunks as large as four-story blocks.
Enough ore is in sight, he says, lying
on the ground, to run thousand
stamps a hundred years.

ON THE ALTAR OF FRIENDSHIP,
Brtons Surrender Their RIGHTS In
Alaska.

London, Oct 21.-"From British
viewpoint the best that can be said
of the settlement of the Alaskan
boundary dispute is that it is over"
In the foregoing words the Graphic
strikes the keynote Of London press
comment on the decision of the Alas
kan boundary tribunal. This decision
is generally denominated "the surren-
der of British rights on the altar of
American friendship" While there is
no suggestion of personal criticism of
either Lord Chief Justice Alverstone
or the American commissioners. the
tendency is to regard the Canadian
commissioners as the heroes of the
hour for their refusal to sign the docu-
ment surrendering what they consider
ed to be the rights of the Dominion.
The question of the effect of the de-
c1slon and the attitude of Canada to-
ward the mother country is seriously
raised. and in some quarters it is pre-
dicted that the findings will strike a
severe blow at the arbitration of any
future case where there may be con-
f1ict of colonial and American inter-
ests. No doubt is anywhere expressed
but that Canada will abide loyalty by
the decision.

DECISION OF ALASKAN BOUND.
AIRY COMMISSION VERY UN.
POPULAR IN CANADA,
UNITED STATES is SCORED
TRADED ON GOOD WILL THAT
WOULD MAKE GREAT SACRI.
FICES 70 FRIENDSHIP.

Toronto, oct. Embarrassing the
Alaskan boundary decision, the Tele-
gram independently says: 1.-THE Alas
kan boundary controversy has ended
Just as all controversy in which Brit
1sh diplomacy plays a part must end,
IN victory for country that is I'M
scrupulous enough to claim everything
and cunning enough to trade on the
good will that would sacrifice any,
thing rather than keep open a. cause
OF difference with the United States"
The Witness GiberaD says editori-
ally: Ever since the Alaska boun-
Diary difference came to the fore, our
conviction has been that Canada
would substantially lose her case.
When the United States consented to
submission of the question to a joint
high commission, it was with the GER
tainty that she could not lose and an
assurance universally expressed that
she would gain. 1t was as certain as
any human question could be that no
commissioners appointed by the Unit
ed States would go back to thesr coun-
try having voted to sacrifice Skagway
and Dyea. To make assurance doubly
sure the president sacrificed his dig
nifty by selecting commissioners who
had already publicly and Discriminate
ly committed themselves"
Method of Procedure Criticised.
The Montreal La Patrie, the organ
OF j. |. Tarte, ex-minister of public
works, says editorially about the Alas
kan decision:
canada should never have agreed
to settle the question except by arbi-
tration where one country appoints
representatives and the other country
representatives and these an umpire.
The manner in which the matter was
settled was proposed to Canada in 1899
and then Laurier refused it. Six
months ago he accepted the same
proposition. Why was that?'
The Montreal Herald (government)
says: THE Canadian representatives
have refused to sign the award be-
cause they conceive it to be political
rather than a judicial agreement and
they find the interests of Canada sac
rlficed in consequence At all events
things have turned out just as reports
said they would. Care seems to have
been taken weeks ago to let it be
known that Canada would be deeply
aggrieved at any departure from
judicial decision by what it was sup
posed to be a judicial tribunal and
nothing more. 1t is not judicial de-
cision, Mr.. Aylesworth and Sir Louis
Jette say, and there is nobody in
Canada who stands high enough as
jurist to successfully challenge their
authority. 1t is not a satisfactory
ending"
