Andrew Holmes and Jesse Gleason

sardine factory at Gleason Cove on the
same site of the one destroyed by fire

A drive of 100000 feet of whole

Carratunk Falls.

several fish weirs rebuilt at Sorrento
Mr.. Stanley was among the unfortu-

Work has begun at the plant of the

ready to put in the foundation for the
NEW mill that is to be erected this

Work will be pushed forward as rapidly
as possible and it is thought the mills
will be up and ready for BUSINESS as

great to bring the highest prices in

sold to Thorndyke & Hicks, of Rock

The lath mill on the lower dam at
Machias which has been operated since
the early part of the winter by the
Machias Lumber Co, was shut down
Thursday, the supply of available
stock having become exhausted. This
mill. which is commonly known as the
Holway- Mclaughlin rotary, will soon
be turned over to the international
Paper Company in preparing the wood
and logs that were cut during the past
winter on Township No. 25, for the
pulp mills to which the wood will be
shipped. A series of rolls will be ar
ranged from the mill to the wharf in
the rear, so that it will not be neces-
harry to haul the wood from the mill
after it has been cut up. This work
has already commenced and it is ex-
pected that the mill will be ready for
business before the first drive of logs
shall have reached Machias. The
Phenix gang is being run by the Ma
chias Lumber Co, but as there is but
a comparatively small number of logs
available for immediate use. the mill
will probably be shut down in a short
| time.

THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY.

year or two ago there general chorus of triumphant shouts from the minimizing Ameri- can newspapers anent succession or alleged great
 American diplomatic victories achieved by state department in far-off Asia. The American eagle ap- peared to have perched itself the topmost branch of the highest tree in the political woods and to be Justly growing there, with to his def. If all this outcry justified by the facts it is fortunate that the national bird does not have better luck in his own barnyard. American diplomacy seems to succeed better in Asia than America. The American eagle IS having very rough time at home. His latest backdown is in regard to the Alaskan boundary. Two years ago our state department was vehemcnly insisting that there not, in the Alas kan question, anything to arbitrate." Its present confession is that in the Alaskan question there is something to arbitrate Nevertheless, the original contention was sound. By agreeing to submit the Alaskan boundary to any form of arbitration our state department has backed down from a just and tenable question, says exchange.
 The boundary between Canada and Alaska is fixed by the treaty between Russia and Great Britain concluded in 1925. There can be TO boundary ques- ton except the demitaton and marking of the line as defined by that treaty. What Russia owned determined by that treaty, and that she sold to The country at that time deemed valuable only
 for its furs and the of the contention between Russia and Great Britain that Russia insisted on
 strip of territory wide enough prevent any to the sea by the Hudson Bay Company. This con-
 ention long resisted by Great Britain, but finally conceded by making the boundary line begin at the intersection of Portland channel with the ifty-sixth degree of north latitude and thence follow the sum- init of the range parallel to the the l4lst de- gree of west longitude. By thus making the summit of a supposed mountain range the boundary, Great Britain effectually conceded the main principle in and agreed that there should be access from British territory to the sea, north of Portland channel.
 Now that the northern country has become vau- able and commerce herewith is growing, Great Brit ain desires to go down inlet and up another into her own territory. To accomplish this end she has raised the contention that the boundary recognized for three-quarters of century and shown upon her own official maps is not the true boundary, but that the true boundary follows the general trend of the coast at distance of ten leagues from it-a construc tion which would make it cut across all the bays and inlets and give their harbors to Crest Britain.
 There is no foundation for this contention. It is deliberate surrender of American rights to submit it to any form of arbitration. It is not subject even for formal discussion.
