eW Light.

All persons, who have noticed the
brilliant new lights in Myers Pharmacy,
should 60 in and investigate the ma
chine which produces them. They are
called the F. p. lights because they are
both fool and fire proof, as the machine
works automatically and neither mis-
use or fire can cause the tank which con-
tains the gasoline to blow up. They
give bright and beautiful light, which
is easy on the eyes, and as for cost, Mr..
Myers says that in proportion to the
amount of light he gets, they are the
cheapest he has ever had. He expects
to add a large 1900 candle power light
to his equipment which will be placed in
front Of his store. Henry Gerstenlauer
has obtained the agency for these lights
for Prowers county, and is able to put
in lighting plant at short notice and
in an expert manner.

UNITED STATES WINS THE
ALASKAN BOUNDARY CASE
All Uncle Sans Contentious Conceded Except
Dispute Over Portland Canal
Canada Gets an Outlet But the Outcome Is Great Dappon
ment to Her.

T ONDON. oct. 1.-THE Alaskan
boundary commissioa reached q
decision whereby all the &meri-
can contentious are sustained VITA the
exception Of those in. relation to the
Portland canal, which Canada wins.
All that now remains to be done is for
the commissioners to aff1X their sigma
lures 20 the decision and complete the
map which viii accompany it, on the
may VIII be marked the boundary line
uehnitely fixing the division OF Ameri-
can and British territory on such a
oasis that no American citizen viii lose
? foot of land he already believed he
Leld. while the United States will get
hi the waterways to the rich Alaskan
territory with the exception Of the
portland canal. which gives Canada
the one outlet she so much needed
A Week Of Discussion.
The longstanding dispute was only
settled after week of keen. trying.
secret elaboration between the arbi-
traitors. Even up To noon today there
was an acute possibility that a dis
agreement might result. and the whole
proceedings fall 10 the ground. Lord
AlveTstone, though openly inclined %
believe in the Justice of the American
argument that the United States was
entitled to the heads Of inlets as con-
tanned I'm question 3 held out that Can
ada had esta blished her case in ques-
. lions and 3. dealing with the Port
land canal
Came Easy at Last.
After lunch Senator Lodge. Secretary
Root and Senator Turner agreed to
Cede those points and to start the
American boundary line from the head
Of the Portland canal thus giving the
Canadians that channel and some small
ISLANDS on which there are only a few
disused stOrehouses. This accom-
plished, the majority Of the trii unal
agreed TO fix with this exception the
Sutire boundary as outlined I'm the
American case. Whether MeSSrS. Ayles-
worth and Jette. the Canadian COM
missioners. viii refuse to sign the de-
cision and make it unanimous is not
known. but il win not affect the valid
1ty or the agreement 10 q minority re-
port is submitted. BY Monday after
noon 30 is hoped that everything viii
be ready for signature. though the ac-
tual marking OF the line on the map
which shall forever determine the re-
spective territories win occupy some
time.
Bound to Secrecy.
The majority of the commissioners
left the foreign Office hurriedly this
afternoon I'm order to catch trains for
weekend visits to the country. Moth
ing had occurred which led the few
onlUokers even to suspect that the dis
pute had reached its practical end The
commissioners themselves are still
bound to secrecy until the decision is
actually rendered and practically few
others were really aware how great n
degree of success had attended the eff
forts Of the American members of the
tribunal
