UNITED STATES ARMY OFFICER
RESORTS TO A VERY NOVEL
METHOD.
He Locates the Latitude and Lonsi-
tude of Pleasant Camp in
Alaska.

SKAGWAY, March Capt w. P.
Richardson, constructing officer in
charge of the Haires military post, re-
turned from a trip to Pleasant camp
on the Dalton trail, on February II.
Capt. Richardson had been ordered by
the war department to locate the lat
itude and longitude of Pleasant camp
astronomically. He made the trip
with a party of engineers and Indians
and found no difficulty in the under
taking, as the weather was pleasant
and the trail good. The boundary line
was located in a rather novel man
ner, to which it was necessary to
resort under the circumstances.
The London award designated the
boundary in angles running to and
from various peaks and Pleasant camp
is conceived to be on the boundary
graphical feature to mark the posi-
lion of Pleasant camp, and as the
buildings and other evidences of hab-
jtation and settlement might burn OF
become destroyed before the boundary
is permanently marked by the govern
| nent survey, the necessity Of thus
Early establishing the position OF
Pleasant camp was recognized by the
department. The astronomical data
aiken will serve TO prevent any dis
quite in the event physical land marks
re destroyed.
Pleasant camp was the police sta
ton during the modus vivendi era
when the larger portion of the Porcu
pine district was occupied by the Ca
1adians. Previously the country was

he Chilkat river. The offices of the
dominion customs officials. the pro-
,incial magistrate and the recording
office of the Chilkat mining division
of the Atlin district of British Column
bia were maintained there.
After the London award Capt. Rant
he magistrate and recorder, ana Dr.
Eraser, Of the mounted police, and
heir assistants left the country, and
now all the officers on the trail are
Constable McKinnOn, a provincial
unstable, who has charge of the To-
al mining records, and Constable Nc
Donald, of the Northwest mounted
police, who has been detailed in the
interest Of the dominion customs.

entirely abandoned.

an old and diminutive colored wo-

brought her before Judge Clarke before
he had time to learn what the disturb

of the judge and spectators. She turn

The old lady, it seems, had seen her
daughter leave home in the morning
with her best clothes on. She had
then telephoned to the postoffice and
found that Simpson had secured

the court house to arrive at the dra-

NURSING MOTHERS

A richer milk than milk"
is good food for nursing
mothers. SCOTS Emulsion is
the rich cream of cod liver
oil, and contains ten times as
much cream as milk does.
The nursing mother must
eat with the purpose of pro-
ducing good, nourishing milk
for her baby. A little SCOTS
Emulsion is often a very wise
addition to her daily diet. If
through nervousness or weak
ness her milk is a failure,
SCOTS Emulsion will help
make it a success.
The baby gets the benefit,
too, when the mother takes
SCOTS Emulsion. The same
remedy brings new strength
and nourishment to both.

Osborne OF the Thirty-ninth Illinois
was in our brigade and had been

col. Howell was known by the rebs
everywhere By his long white beard
and by his custom Of riding in front.

This means that the regiment never

That's all right" said Sergt Grim
shaw. but there were times when the
best colonel that ever lived could not
prevent nervousness on the part Of his
men. For example, in February, 1853,
company p, Fifty-secOnd Ohio. was on
picket duty south OF Nashville, cover
ing the ground between the Granny
White pike and the Franklin pike.
There had been continuous rain for
several hours, and the ravines were
full Of water.
Late in the afternoon some rebel
cavalry in citizens dress had tried to
get through the lines on the Granny
White pike, and failing there, had
crossed the Franklin pike, and falling
there, had disappeared to reappear at
dark on the Granny White pike. Ny
trick came at midnight, and / was sta
toned midway between the two pixies.
About the time I went on duty danger
rockets were thrown up in the city.
AS the rockets went up again and
again we associated the display with
the men supposed 10 be rebel cavalry
in front and all were very alert.
Lieut. Judkins, in charge Of the
guard. became very nervous and went
over to the reserve on the Franklin
pike to urge greater precautions. He
started back with the relief for my
post, but lost his bearings, fell into a
creek, and, against his own orders as
to Quietness, had 70 call at the top OF
his voice to find where I was located.
