UNCLE SAM GETS MORE MOUNTAINS Survey of Boundary Com- mission Brings High
 Ranges Into
 Alaska

Washington, June S.-Kate's Needle and Devils Thumb, two of the highest mountain ranges in the world, are within the ter ritory of the United States, this fact having just been ascertained by the Canadian and American surveying parties, which were sent to Alaska some months ago to finally determine the Alaska boundary line
 :; When the British-American Ar sbitration Commission met to isettle the boundary line dispute 4the principal points were deter mined, but, owing to the absence ,of charts and data, this body was unable to decide the course of the line for a distance of about 100 miles. The line decided on is remote and inaccessible to any bne but a prospector ard a mountain goat.
 The task just completed is one of the most difficult ever per formed by surveyors, and they were required to traverse much wild territory, some of which has never been trod by the foot of man, so far as the records dis close.

IMPROVING THE BREED OF
UTAH HORSES.

Hon. G. w. Watts, member of the
legislature Mr.. John Rogers and
Sheriff G. w. Chopper of Deseret have
recently returned from Ohio, where
they marketed consignment of Utah
bred horses to good advantage. They
are lovers of the horse, and desiring
to see the breed of that noble animal
improved in Utah, they bought four
young stations, of the best in the state
of Ohio, and had them shipped to their
ranches in Utah. At the same time
they acquired eight jacks of the Span
ish strain which predominates in
Ohio, and had them shipped to Utah.
These animals will he in great de-
mand in the farming districts, as they
are of the best breeds and will prove
of practical benefit to those who are
engaged in developing the agricultural
resources of the country. Messrs
Watts, Rogers and Chopper are men
of standing, men who do things and
do them well. Their active interest
in raising the standard Of the equine
in this state will prove very effective
and beneficial.

when Johnny Comes Marching
Home" is a strange operate mixture
of national airs, army uniforms and
balloon skirts.
Marching up and down the stage are
soldiers galore soldiers who, vocally
brave enough, would not care to face
powder. Then, also, marching up and
down the stage there are girls galore
who face powder and show their bra
very on their cheeks. But this is
merely a contrasting incident sacred
to the seclusion of the dressing room.
There are other things less evident,
perhaps, but dimly seen through the
vocal mist, showing that the star
spangled banner is still waving and
that Johnny is marching bravely on.
Indeed, if Johnny" were less in evil
dence, the reason for the opera itself
would be a Sherlock Holmes mystery
and set all the Conan Doyles in king
dom come to futile guessing. But there
is always a saving grace in every mil
itary opera-the soldier lover is az
ardent wooer. His heart gushed out
in limpid song. Climbing his high
C's he vaults lightly over the battle
ments and lands, with vocal smiles,
in Cupid's rosy bower. What maid
can resist his impetuous charges
charges so timed that the clanking
sword becomes part of the swinging
music. What's the use of winning

when my lady love offers surer and
