Cleveland. oct. 21-The Alaska
boundary decision was generally ex-
pacted Canada's right to at least half
of the Portland canal is undisputed.
The ownership Of Pearce and Wales
islands is of small Importance. In
1925 the treaty between Russia and
Great Britain, providing for the
boundary line between English and
Russian-America was signed, In 1867
the United States purchased Russian
America, and therefore purchased all
the lands which Russia had under this
treaty. The treaty fixed the begin
ming of the boundary at the mouth OF
the Portland canal, and has a few
points which II was to touch, but It
provided that the Russians were to
remain in possession Of all the terri.
tory between the Portland canal and
Mt. st. Elias. for 80 miles back from
the coast line There is where the
trouble arose. The whole western
coast. from Puget Sound north, is pro
tected by a chain Of Islands. As the
original boundary line was fiXed, It ran
a distance of 30 miles from the line Of
the actual mainland Canada's con.
tention was that the line should run
30 miles from the outer coast Of the
islands. contention that should have
no possible weight with any one, ex'
cept a government grabbing for land.
The United States remained in un.
disturbed possession of the territory
until the discovery Of gold in the
Klondike. Then British Columbia
awoke TO the fact that there was no
way Of getting into the Klondike from
the sea, except by passing through
United States territory. AT once Can
ada began looking for some scheme
for getting to the coast, and the re-
suit was the plan which has now
failed. Had Canada's contention been
successful, the United States would
have lost the entire coast line and
Skagway, Juneau and several other
Southeastern Alaska towns. as well
as immeasureable mineral and timber
wealth. There Is a grave question
whether England ever really believed
Canada had any right to the territory
in dispute. There are many people
not only In Alaska, but In Washing
ton. who believed that the decision
was foregone conclusion. Many be
lleye that II was understood before
the commission ever met that England
was to side with the United states,
and that the appointment Of a com
mission was simply favored by Eng
land as a means Of letting Canada
down lightly.

'Ex-sPEAkER REEDS FORTUNE.
His Literary as Well as Legal Work
Paid Him Handsomely


The fact that the late Thomas B.
Reed left an estate of $431, 900, after
all Indebtedness had been discharged,
was a matter Of surprise to people
generally, writes William E. Curtis
in the Chicago Record-Herald. Mr..
Reed always pretended to be very
poor, but some of his intimate friends
were convincedLlong ago that his pow
erty was an affectation, because they
knew Of large fees received by him
from time to time for legal services
and literary work. He never wrote
a line or made speech for nothing.
Each of the many articles which
from time to time appeared in the
magazines from his pen brought him
$500, and I know of one instance at
least in which he received 500 from
a New York newspaper for an inter-
view he prepared with himself upon
a current topic. His lectures brought
him $500 night and occasionally in
large cities like New York and Boston
he received $1,000. The year be-
fore he left Congress he delivered
i've lectures in one week, for which
he received check for $4,000.
He estimated his legal services at
a. very high value, and unless his
clients made a bargain with him in
advance they were sure to be sur
prised when they received their bills.
There is story that, while in Lon
don some years ago, he charged John
V. and G. B. Farwell of Chicago IS 900
for giving some information to their
English solicitor about the laws of
the United States bearing on the sale
OF their Texas lands, and I know
where he made a life enemy of one
OF his closest friends by sending him
a bill for advice given on a legal
question in what was supposed to be
a friendly conversation.

Tailor Costumes.

There is no time of year when this
class of dress is not a necessity in a
Woman's wardrobe; it must adapt
itself to circumstances. To meet the
needs of spring and summer the coat
must either be discardable or suitable
to wear indoors and out Many are
worn without a shirt or blouse or un-
derbodice of any kind, only vest at
the throat, generally transparent, or a
lace scarf daintily tied.
This sort of garment has rather ex-
tended it's field and is being made, not
only in glace sometimes, but very
often in etamine, canvas: grenadine
and even in wolfe and crepe de chine
So it happens that the tailor takes the
dressmaker's place, and that the
dressmaker is doing tailor's work and
is even sending out serges, friezes or
cloth suits.

The Short Skirt Suit,

A pretty way of making short
skirt suit is shown in a costume of
heavy toile, in a white and black
quadrille pattern. The skirt is
trimmed on the sides by clusters OF
long tabs, growing broader toward the
bottom, where they finish with point
and small gold buttons. The bolero
has a collar making a point over the
sleeve, and a stole in front that fin
ishes at the bottom of the jacket with
pointed ends. Buttons are also used
here. There is little inner vest Of
tomato red linen, trimmed with but
tons. The costume is completed by a
. belt.

Refrigerator hints:
Do not food it with boiling water.
Keep the ice compartment full Of
ice.
Do not put hot foods into the refrig-
orator.
The more the ice the greater the
economy.
Ice-saving schemes are absurd, de-
feating the purpose Of the refrigerator.
Overr!pe fruits and vegetables are a
menace to the health if left in the
refrigerator
II much ice be used on the table and
for other purposes an authority advises
a storage box for this extra ice.
It is the food that is to be kept in
stead of the ice. Keeping ice in the
sick-room or at picnic is another
matter.
A cellar or other damp place is no
place for the refrigerator. On the
other hand, it should not be put out of
doors unprotected.
It should be sponged out. often with
warm water in which little soda has
been dissolved and the drain should
not be neglected - 4
