 A terrific thuuderstern followed, and as all the wires were down, near ly 24 hours passed before the disaster and the need of relief were known in Portland.
 The calamity brought out heroes. The station agent, John H. Herman, lost his life by staying to telegraph the approaching danger to Lexington. all Of whose inhabitants were saved. Herman vainiy tried to escape with his wife and two children. He and his wife perished. but the friend who was with them saved the children, to grow mp worthy, let us hope, of their heroic father.

NOT EASY FOR THEM TO AGREE
Task Ahead for The Alaska Boundary
 Commission.


 "This are a hung jury" is 8 sign said to have been displayed in an Aia- bafna court, and according to the view of 6 number of public men this same sign aaight well be placed o*er the door of the Alaskan commission which is te assemble next September in Lon don. With three members from each side and contention in which both parties have displayed great interest. it would be almost miracle If any thing but disagreement on all dis puted points should be the result. The Canadians have not got all they want in the presnet modus vivendi, but it is far better than if the commission should agree to the American conten ton. It is not at all probable that the American onlmissieners will make any further concessions than were made in the modus of October 20, 1S90 It is not likely that one man of either side will reach conclusion different from his fellow members and vote against his country, making the neces- sary majority for a conclusion, so it would seem that practically unani- nous agreement must be reached or none Should there be disa agreement on all the vital points it would raise an interesting question as te how long the present modus shall last. This in- teresting document does not fix any date for it's termination,
 Tt is hereby agreed says this mo- due yiveadi, "between the government of the United States and of Great Britain that the boundary line between Canada and the territory of Alaska in the region about the head of Lynn canal shall be provisionally fixed as follews. without prejudice to the claims of either party in the perman= ent adjustment of the international boundary Then follows descrip- tinp of the temporary line, The dis puted points are "proFisionallY fixed, but Who can say for how long? These lines do not prejudice the eontentions of eitaer party in the permanent adjustment of the boundary, thus implying that a permanent adjust mept must be made. Americans in the region affected did not like the n4edus, and claimed that Great Brit ain got much the best of it and that the Canadian line was advanced far beyond what has always been consid- cred the boundary line by Americans Occasionally there have been eefa- plaints from that quarter, but for the most part the people seem content to await tha permanent adjustment of the dispute. Now if the present com mission does not reach an agreement the permanent adjustment will be postponed, and the boundary line will remain ''provisionally fixed" by the modus. If there should be no "per- manent adjustment would it go or forever? If not. who would break it: Certainly the modus is very inter l esting document. a(
