Congress ratifies the pending treaty
it will add several dollars to the Gu

this extra bonus will come out of the

Why the Portland Canal Is of Value t,

Canada.
For years the boundary line be
tween Alaska and Canada has been
disputed. The main question was
whether it ran across the numerous in
lets and arms of the sea of the ter
ritory, or whether it ran around them.
Canada contended that the line cut
across these inlets, leaving the United
States nothing but a waste track OF
rocky isolated promontories.
The controversy centered upon Can
ada's effort to acquire an outlet to the
sea, the assertion being that the Rus
so-British treaty of 1925 fixed the
boundary line as mentioned by them.
They also said that the inlets less
than six miles wide in the disputed
territory belonged to them.
The Portland Canal or Channel,
which is by the decision of the COM
mission given to Canada, is an import

in a Republican promise, invested
their money, and farmers, having the
some faith, began the cultivation of

 Willimantic, March 13.-Eyerett Flint, the insane man, escaped from the almshouse Monday night and was found in the woods in an exhausted condition yesterday afternoon at 2:oo. about a quarter of a mile south or Eaton's icehouse. He was lying on the ground and offered no resistance when his searchers came upon him. He nao no coat hat or shoes and his feet were so swollen that he could not walk. lie was placed in a team and taken back to the almshouse, and Dr Brighton was called to attend him. The doctor sald that Hints condition was not bad out side of his swollen feet and exhaustion. Flint was quite rational last night and talked with Superintendent Lyman of the almshouse. He said he had planned to run away, but after he had been out few hours he was sorry he had not taken Mir Lyman's advice not to leave the place. The authorities have not de- cided what to do with Flint in the mat ter of sending back to the retreat or not. Flint was released from the re- treat about two weeks ago. He was looked upon as harmless.
 Searching parties had been securing the woods since Tuesday morning in the vicinity of Pleasant Valley, Mans field and North Windham., When he disappeared he had no coat on and shoes without Iaces. Tuesday his shoes were found on the Coventry road at Pleasant Valley. The searchers fol lowed his trail by his footprints, but it was lost when he entered the woods. Yesterday morning two hunting parties started out, commencing at the east and went ends of the town and cover ing the woods thoroughly. Mir McIn- tyre of Pleasant Valley told the party that he heard cries in the woods near l his home. Searching in the vicinity resulted in the finding of Flint, as stated above.
