The daily morning Alaskan., 1903-12-12

Thomas Willing Balch, of the Philo- delphia bar, thinks Canada made a great gain in the recent decision of the ! Alaskan boundary commission. Mir. Balch has probably writtens more able articles upon the Alaskan boundary dispute anl is probably better informed on that subject than any living man, with possible exception of the commis- l sioners who decided that matter and the learned lawyers who prepared the l cases and conducted the hearing for the parties 70 the controversy. The con- sideratiou due any comment made by him upon the outcome of the contro-
 versy is apparent.
 Ina recent contribution to the New l York Evening Post, Mr Balch says
 The Alaska award, as reported by cable. in the main supports the couten- tioDs of the United States. But still, . in some of the less important points, the adiudication found is in favor of Canada. Consequently, the decision of Che adiudication board-ior the joint commission as constituted was not @ real court of arbitration-was diplo- matic compromise.
 The chief point of contention was whether Canada should obtain an out- let upon tidewater on theLynn canal in the northern part Of the lisiere or 30- mla strip. The main question is now settled against her by the opinion of Lord Alverstone, the lord chief justice of England, for the award of the adju- dica,ion confirms the United States in Che possession of an unbroken lsiere above the Portland channel, which opens into the ocean at 54 40. showing that the lord chief justice was con- vinced by the overwhelming force of the evidence in favor of the United States.
 Canada, considering that her preten- sions were not based on sound facts, made very favorable gains by the adju- dicatiou award. At one or two points, as on the Stickeen. river, for instance, the eastern frontier Of the hsiere is brought probably a little too near the sea water, all of which rebounds to the advantage of ,anada. At the mouth Of Portland channel, at the south end of the lisiere, Canada obtains Pearse and and Wales Islands. At first sight the possession of these islands seems of small importance. But their geograph- ical position, immediately opposite the Canadian harbor0i Port Simpson, gives them, in spite of the retention by the

But, LOW that this danger ous frontier question is in a large meas ure out of the way, it is to be hoped sincerely that efforts will be made by both the United States and the Cana dian governments to bring about @ com- mercial rapproachement between the two nations. And the sooner negotia- tions are carried on directly between Washington and Ottawa instead of by the roundabout and cumbersome way of Downing street che better-as M. Henri Bourassa, 9 grandson of Papin- eau. pointed out in a notable speech on October 23 in the Dominion parliament for the mointenance ot cordia, rela- tions between the United States and Canada.

Estimated in ool- lars and cents, such policy will pay much better than .or Canada to help fight the wars of Great Britain in the old World, or for the United States to try Co draw the chestnuts out of the fire in the Orient for the benefit of Due ropeau nations. Certainly mp tJ uow the Philippines have not been paying investment for us; and to urge this to invest in transoceanic wars in the name of commercial advantage is very much like advising individuals to place their money in one of the nu- merous South Sea bubbles chat are around in the industrial mar ket.

A SHAME.


naming Machinery.
One Of the worst crimes that has
happened to tA.s State IL the stripping
OF the u. 8. Mint in this city Of the
machinery that was used to turn out
cash q few years ago. The Carson
Mint made - good money, had a. ilne
machinery and did the work a. cheap
~ - any Of the mints in the United
States, yet in spite Of these facts, the
old stone building IL being cleaned
out q all the remaining tools that
were used In the days when Carson
dollars were the proper caper.
Just why this Mint should be rob-
bed Of the machinery is hard to state
More than half Of the bullion that
is coined in San Francisco, comes
from the territories forwarding to T.,
while every dollar that is coined in
Philadelphia comes from bullion that
is produced outside Of the State, AMI
in most instances the cash is shipped
either east or north, some Of it even
finding its way to this city.
Nevada produces enough bullion ev-
cry year to keep the Mint running
full blast, yet this does not seem TO
cut any figure in the matter. 1t is not
a question of where the bullion is pr )
duced, but simply the location of the
minis for the convenience of the poll
ticians, who control the workings. The
bullion from Nevada is often found In
the Philadelphia Mint, while most of it
goes to San Francisco for coinage.
Some time ago the coinage presses
of the Carson Mint were taken from
the building in this city and sent to
Philadelphia, which shows that they
were in good order and not Of the dis
carded kind Later on more of the ma
chinery was torn from it's foundation
and shipped either east or west. Now
the remaining machinery is being pack
ed and is to be placed in commissi On
in the San Francisco Mint.
This kind of work is pretty bad, and
there is something decidedly wrong

PENDANT.

With the clerk Of the District Court
papers were fled yesterday asking f,r
the appointment Of Chas. H. Kelley,
the father. ~ administrator Of the es-
tate Of the late George B. Kelley.
These papers srs bat the prelimi-
nary steps to be taken in 4 $25, 1000
dan..s<e suit which VIII shortly be
brought c<ainst the Truckee River
General Electric Company in the Uni
ted States Court in this city.
George 3. Kelley, q young man Of
about twenty-one years. was killed
while in the employ Of the company,
on the 4th Of last April. He was work
ing on the main line between Reno
and Virginia City. taking up the slack
in the wires. The current was suppos-
ed to OF the set Of wires he was work
ing on, but not Of others on the same
poles. This made the work particularly
dangerous. On the part of the electric
company it is maintained that Kelley
met his death by coming in contact
with the live wires, in q moment Of
forgetfulness. On the other hand it is
likely that the prosecution will main.
tain that such was not the case and
that the current was passed momenta.
ri!y on the wires supposed to be
dead. At any rate Kelley was killed.

city, will represent the administrator

DOGS IN THE MANcER.
The G. r. l.. 4 F. Company Sets an
/, Example Of Il.

The Carson Tahoe Lumber and
Flume Company, . corporation that
grew rich through the liberal conces-
sions allowed by the timber laws, AMI
the interested parties who have taken
up their trap and belongings, are GER
tainly acting the dog in the manager"
in regard to the timber lands that
they claim. This is exemplifled in Lake
Valley. The company cut vast forests
of timber, mostly for the lumber logs
that we're in them, and left the rest
Of the wood. limb wood and logs that
were not absolutely sound, to rot IN
the ground, where it remains. to this
day.
at the least calculation there is half
. million or more cords Of wood lying
In the path ways Of the wood cutters.
Who followed instructions, and only
took the best This loose wood, could
it be put into the hands Of the people
would become utility that would not
only be q matter Of dollars and cents,
but would prevent the laws Of nature
from decaying the woods and render
It useless for men, or, in fact, any
thing on earth.
There is only one thing that pre-
vents part Of this being placed before
the public, and 1t is the action OF the
company that cut the wood and receiv-
cd the most benefit from it. Along the
side Of the public highway, on lands
owned by the company, is sign to the
effect that any party who takes either
the dead or the live wood will be pro-
secuted to the extent Of the law. That
which is useless to the corporation
must not be used by the people. A
downright outrage and sin against al
the laws Of nature, If not against the
laws Of man. The wood is scattered
from the summit Of the hills above
to the summit of the hills across ths
lake. Every canyon contains hundreds
Of cords, and these people say tina
the poor man must not take it, bu
must leave It to rot where the wool
man fell the tree. Once in while
there ig q law that has been frames
by white man that ID not 1T to b
