1899, and which has served as the
boundary since that time.
The work of surveying the boundary
and locating it at White Pass has
been completed. 1t mas been in charge
Of a party of American surveyors, al
the head of which is o. M. Leland, q
professor in the engineering school of
Cornell university. Mr.. Leland was
visited some time ago by c. A. Bigger
who has the superintendency of the
Canadian work in the field, and to-
gether they established the line, where
it crosses the White Pass & Yukon
River tracks and for some distance on
either side of that point. The line
crosses the railroad at exactly the same
point as agreed upon by DR.. Tittman
of the United States coast and geodetic
survey, and Prof. King, the Canadian
dus vivendi. But the posts set by those
men for a mile or more from the rail-
road track on either side of it are al
in American territory under the new
survey.
The work of marking on the ground
the Alaskan boundary in the vicinity
Of the head of Lynn canal and Chilkat
Inlets will have been completed ir
about ten days. The Canadian party
under w. F. Ratz, that was working
most of the summer along Salmon
river, has completed it's work and has
departed for Taku Inlet, south of Jul
neau. J. A. Flemer, in charge of the
American party, which has worked
north of the Canadian party and be
tween that and those operating under
the direction of o. M. Leland, has
about completed mis- work. He is now
expected to leave for the south this
| week. Leland has about ten days work
to do. Then boundary monuments viii
have been set upon the line al
around Lynn canal.

AFTER TREASURE TRAINS.
Plot to Secure Black Hill Gold Frus
trated by the Officers.

OMAHA, Neb Sept. Exempted by
the half million dollars in gold carried
from the HOmestake mine, in the
Black Hills, a band of train robbers
for three days threatened the east
bound Northwestern train out Of Oma-
ha.
To ward off the robbers, all these
trains have gone under guard of about
twelve heavily armed men with in
structions to shoot to kill. The infor-
nation was given to the Omaha po-
lice several days ago that the holdur
would occur between this city and Lo-
gan, thirty miles east.
Twice each month the great gold
mine sends half a million dollars tc
New York. This is hauled by the
American Express company and the
North Western railroad.
Engineers were ordered to stop the
train whenever signa1ed. The express
messengers were instructed to open the
car doors if called upon to do so. But
within the express car were five mer
with rifles, scattered through the train
were five more, and guarding the real
were two.
The preparations were elaborate anG
complete, but it is supposed the rob-
bers got wind that their scheme was
known and abandoned the attempt.

MARTIN DENNY SAYS BRITT AND
NELSON WILL PUT UP A
GREAT FIGHT.
Portland Fighter Getting In Condition
for Go-Put Tom Mcclure Out of
Commission.

San Francisco is going to see the
greatest fight in her history when
Jimmy Britt and Battling Nelson get
together next Saturday afternoon
said Martin Denny, the clever light
weight, at the race track yesterday
afternoon, as he paused to give his
trainers a chance to recover their
breath, after a rafting bout with the
mitts. TT is a hard matter to pre-
dict who will be returned the winner"
continued Martin. Britt we all know
is regarded as one of the cleverest
little men that ever stepped into the
ring and his courage cannot be ques-
toned. He mas been tried too often in
bruising encounters with the best men
of the country. On the other hand,
Nelson is perfect fiend when it cmses
to infighting. his favorite method. Mel
son as a fancy sparer is a failure but
as a fighter, ready to mix it on the
least provocation, he is certainly
wonder. If Britt will consent to mix it,
Nelson has a shade the best of it, as
ne is certainly stronger than Britt and
has that bull dog tenacity that will
carry him through the thickest of a
fight without a whimper.
Il am glad that the two have con-
scented to meet in a 45-round contest
as it certain that the question of supe-
rioriy will be decided once for all,
barring of course, accidents or fouls
that might be committed"
Denny Getting In Shape.
Denny is losing little time in getting
Scaler of Spokane on September 90,
although he still has over three weeks
boxed six rounds with friends at his
training quarters and showed up fast
and strong. Tom Mcclure, the popular
horseman. consented to don the mitts
for a couple of rounds and was MAX
ing a great show until a wicked little
right handler caught him on the point
of the chin.
Wow, That's enough for me-"
yelled Mcclure as he commenced pull
ing of the gloves.
Il beg your pardon Tom. I didn't
mean it," Denny anxiously said, eX-
aiming the red blotcn which began to
appear on McGuire's phiz.
"Oh, that's all right, Denny, but the
next time 1 box with you will put a
brick in my glove" responded Nc
CURE as he hunted a seat to rest HIM
self.
Denny is taking off flesh gradually.
Yesterday he tipped the scales around
las and will take off ten pounds be-
tween now and the day of the fight.
The men will weigh in at 1876 pounds
at o'clock.

When the question of my successor
became a matter of great anxiety to
numerous aSpirants for this place, the
discussion was not concerning the fit
ness of candidates nor the political pop
ularity of the various gentlemen who
composed that waiting list, not the
pledges of the legislators, but was linn
tied to the question as to who could
stand best with the church monarchy

of the Mormon marriage relation and

will and pleasure Of those who had for

obedience to law tire church monarchy

ers and followers alike in order to OBJ

Mr.. Kearns charged that every apos-
tie of the church is in large part re-
sponsible for this condition and that it
is quite evident the church monarchy
is trying to re-establish the rule of the
polygamous class over the mass of the
Mormon people. He charged that not
more than three or four of the quorum
of apostles have refrained from prac-
ticing poIygamy and that special rea-
sons may exist in some particular case
why a man in this class has not entered

KILL PRICE RAID.
House Disposes of 1t for the Term
Today.

This is the day that the Price raid
claims died in the house. The ways
and means committee reported ad-
versely on the bill appropriating $780,
600 to pay these claims, and it is not
likely that the bill can be revived.
The ways and means committee also
killed the senate bill appropriating
$1,000 a year for a state fair at To-
peka.
Favorable action was reported on
the bill renewing to the State Poultry
association the usual $1,000 a year for
premiums.

house resumed its work in committee of

MORGAN TELLS A STORY.
Also Gets a Chance to Make Point on
Railroad Legislation.

w. Y. Morgan improves the chance
to tell a good story in the last issue
of his paper, the Hutchinson News.
He says that he favors the state oil
refinery proposition, and believes that
it will be a winner. and continues
Il have been criticized because
believe in and favor legislation which
is called Pooulistic. But I want to
remark that when William J. Bryan
urges the Democrats in Washington to
stop obstructing and to support Presi-
dent Roosevelt on the railroad Ques-
ton, it is no time to call names. I
have disagreed with Mr.. Bryan S
theories about as strongly as any man
in Kansas. but 1 have always believed
and said he was honest and able. And
/ think a common plug representative
in the Kansas legislature can afford to
be as decent and patriotic as Mr..
Bryan has been in his support of
Roosevelt and not shy at a good
thing because somebody supports it
who has been against him on old
issues.
