When a good man hires 10 a good
farmer, he knows what ne will re-
ceive in hand for his summers
work. On the other ha nd, the far
mer knows just what he will have
to pay his man, but has no means
of knowing before hand just how
much he will receive for each dol
lar 40 expended. Seasons have
not a little to do with this, so he
tries to figure safely, and generally
does. for though the hired man
gets good wages he is worth all he
gets. There ia a difference in en-
ployers as we'll as in hired men.
Some always have good hired
hand or two around, while others
are continually "fussing" with their
help. Funny.

After unavailing attempts to reach an
understanding on the Alaskan bound
airy question through a joint high COM
mission. followed by prolonged negotia-
tons. conducted in an amicable spirit
O convention between the United States
and Great Britain was signed Jan. "a.
1903, providing for an examination of
the subject by a mixed tribunal of six
members. three on a side. with view
to its final disposition. Ratifcations
were exchanged on March 3 last.
whereupon the two governments APP
pointed their respective members.
Those on behalf Of the United States
were Elihu Root, secretary of war;
Henry Cabot Lodge, q senator of the
United States, and George Turner, an
ex-senator of the United States, while
Great Britain named the Right Hon.
Lord Alverstone. lord chief justice of
England Sir Louis Amable Jette. *
c. NJ. c., retired judge of the supreme
court of Quebec, and a. Il. AyleswOrth,
*. c., of Toronto. This tribunal met
in London on Sept 3 under the presi-
dency of Lord AlverstUne. On the Goth
of October a majority of the tribunal
reached and signed an agreement on
all the questions submitted by the
terms OF the convention. By this
award the right of the United States
to the control of a continuous strip or
border Of the mainland shore. skirting
all the tidewater inlets and slnuosities
of the coast, is confirmed; the entrance
to Portland canal. concerning which
legitimate doubt appeared. is defined
as passing by Tongass inlet and to the
northwestward of Wales and Pearse
islands; line is drawn from the head
of Portland canal TO the lifty-siXth de-
gree of north latitude, and the interior
border line of the strip is fixed by lines
connecting certain mountain SUBMITS
lying between Portland canal and
Mount St Elias and running along the
crest of the divide separat ting the coast
slope from the inland watershed at the
only part Of the frontier where the
drainage ridge approaches the coast
within the distance of ten marine
leagues, stipulated by the treaty as the
extreme width Of the strip around the
heads of Lynn canal and it's branches.
While the line SO traced follows the
provisional demarcation of 1878 at the
crossing of the Stikine river and that
Of 1899 at the SUBMITS OF the White
and Chilkoot passes, 1t runs much far
Their inland from the Klehini than the
temporary line of the later modus vi
vendi and leaves the entire mining
district of the Porcupine river and Gla-
cier creek within the jurisdiction of the
United States.
