TO SETTLE ALASKAN LINE.
Boundary Commission Met
This Morning in London.
DISPUTE OF LONG STANDING.
History Of the Case Which Has Caused
Trouble Between Britain and the
United States for Many Years.
Secretary Root Heads.


Secretary Root Heads.
London, Sept. Especial to The
News: Te commission appointed un-
der the treaty concluded last January
between Great Britain and the United
States to settle if possible the long
standing dispute over the Alaskan
boundary met this morning at the
British foreign Office and formally or
ganized. Those present included the
three British commissioners - Lord
Alverstone, Sir Louis Jette lieutenant
governor of Quebec) and Mr.. A. b.
Aylesworth, X. C.-and the three
American commissioners - Secretary
Root, Senator Lodge and Senator
Turner. In addition there was pres
ent great array of counsel to present
the two sides of the case. The ques-
tion at issue was not entered into to-
day. the initial session being devoted
to the work of organizing and the eX-
change of courtesies
The Alaskan boundary dispute is
one of long standing. Since 1872 Can
ada has been calling attention to the
question year after year. In 1898 a
joint commission of English and-Amer
lean representatives tried to settle the
quarrel, but failed.
The territory in dispute covers an
area of upward of 10000 square miles.
For the most part it is mountainous,
but it includes valuable gold mines.
tion of the whereabouts of the boun-
Diary between Alaska and Canada.
Originally, Alaska was Russian terri
tory In 1925 the boundary line was
defined, on paper by treaty between
Russia and Great Britain. In 1867
the United States bought Alaska from
the czar, and then the Canadian-Alas-
kan fronties began to be peopled. AS
the boundary line by the 1925 treaty
had never been properly surveyed,
disputes arose between Canada and
the owners of Alaska.
Throughout almost it's entire length
the disputed territory adjoins British
Columbia on the west side. The re-
naming portion in dispute adjoins the
famous Yukon territory, and includes
the eastern boundary of the coast strip
from the vicinity of Kukatat bar to
the one hundred and forty-first me-
ridian.
So far as the latter is concerned the
ownership of towns like Skagway and
Dyea-famous in the great Klondike
gold rush-is in question. The Klon
dixie, indeed, is directly affected by
the quarrel which it is now hoped will
be settled. The ingress and egress
to this area are by way of the Lynn
canal. The Americans claim that this
canal, plus a belt of territory thirty
miles east of it, belongs to the United
States; while Canada demands that q
great portion of the upper part of the
canal, together with a slice of terri
tory to the east, be recognized as part
of the Dominion.

The terrible disaster at Hanna
Tuesday morning calls for the most
rigid examination on the part of the
state officers. 1t was to prevent just
such "a catastrophe that stringent
laws had been passed, and "A coal
mine inspector, at a good salary, had
been provided for. Now let us know
where the blame lies. If il "a ig-
ran or negligence on the part of
the inspector it should be known. If
it was the criminal neglect and wilful
negligence OF the L. =. Coal company
that should also be known. II is not
hardly possible that II mine could be
in such a dangerous condition with
out meo being aware of the fact.
There has been woeful neglect on the
part of someone, OF 2li men, laboriug
for their daily bread, would not have
lost their lives like So many rats in a
trap. BY all means let MS know who
is TO blame for this wholesale
slaughter, and let the screws be put on
them. TO the end that il may not &C

Governor Chatterton we do not he
lieve it will be possible for any man,
company or corporation, to have a

the affair with his knowledge. Let

Eeen up here visiting friends, return
ed to her home Saturday.
Monday and Tuesday of this week
were terrors for wind and dust.
Most of the town residents have real
estate to burn, and there has been
some mild profanity even among the
fair sex. There is nothing to do,
however, but to clean up aud look
pleasant about it, as two such awful
days rarely come together.
1t took a horse, four men and tive
strong ropes to take IA piece'of baline
wire from a COWS tail, Tuesday after
noon, that some malicious boy had
twisted on it and around which the
flesh had swollen until it had been
cut into the bone. How any ONT

the hands OF business men, is the
only true way to conduct it and keep
1t from going to pieces. A band
leader, under salary and subject to
business rules, will insure the sue
cess Of the band, aud there is no
reason why this town should not give
ample support to a first class band.

pIoyment to Il good band, such as il;

That Which Makes a State
Great.
Farm and Ranch.

Farm and Ranch.
AS evidence that agriculture is
the life of a state and that no 9th
er natural resource can build up a
prosperous commonwealth, let us
look at some well-known examples
What was California when its
great gold mines we're its only de-
veloped resource? And what has
she become when fifty Thousand
cars are required to transport her
soil products to eastern markets? ?
Mark the contrast. Then take
Nevada, which was and is purely
a mining state, where few fortu-
nate vulgarians have amassed mil
lions. In 1880 the population of
Nevada was $4,000; in 1890 the
population had decreased to 54,-
600, and in 1900 to $4,000. Then
compare New Mexico. a part of
this country for 60 years and
chiefly mining territory, with
Oklahoma, purely agricultural
one, only twelve years old. The
post Office receipts for New Mexi-
co for the last fiscal year we're
1913, 900, and those of Oklahoma
$267, 900. Arizona has been open
to settlement for about forty years,
yet her post Office receipts last
year were less than one-half those
of Oklahoma. Oklahoma produ-
ces twice as much wealth annually
as Nevada, Arizona and New Mex
CO combined. We need iron and
copper and gold and coal, but we
cannot live without food and clo-
thing, which are derived from the
soil and can be sold for money
with which we may purchase all
the products of all the mines, and
have enough left to buy anything
else we need in our business and
have as much of soil products left
as we can consume.
