LINE FINALLY FIXED
vexins Controversy Between Idaho
and Montana is Settled
At Last.

The vexatious question of the exact
boundary line between Montana and
Idaho, which has been the subject of
conjecture and mas caused no little
trouble to officers of the respective
states, has finally been settled by the
completion of the boundary survey.
The last of the survey was finished
this summer by H. B. Carpenter OF
Cheyenne, Wyo., who completed about
200 miles in the Bitter Root section
Mr.. Carpenter performed about $50
miles Of the work last year and has
surveyed in all GIL miles, through a
rough and mountainous country. The
total length of the boundary is TAP
miles and it follows along the main
range pretty close to the 39th parallel
of longitude. The survey was done
under the supervision of the commits
sioner of the general land Office.
j. Scott Harrison, the inspector of
government surveys for Montana has
been making an inspection of the last
part Of the work. He says that the
boundary is marked in a manner that
it can be recognized for years. Every
mile a stone or metallic monument
with the word Mont on the east side
and ida" on the west has been firmly
planted in the ground. Every angle
point or change in direction of the
boundary line is indicated by piece
Of iron pipe firmly driven in upon the
top of which there is brass top.
Mr. Harrison is now making out his
report and will forward it to the COM
missioner, after which it is expected
the work Of Mr.. Carpenter will be ac-
copied.

HAD REAL ESTATE MEN ON THE RUN

TACOMA, Nov. 3.-Posing as the
son Of a rich stakeholder Of the Union
Pacific railroad and a representative
OF the company, a young man calling
himself G. A. Davis had half of Puy-
allup by the ears for two or three
days at the beginning of this week,
started rumors that filled Tacoma re-
atty dealers with envy and outlined
a new route for the Union Pacific
that gave the prophets a severe jar.
Davis, we'll dressed and affable, drop
ped into Puyallup Sunday last He had
a plausible plan and quickly gained the
confidence of Mayor G. c. Mcmillan,
the we'll known real estate dealer of
that city. Davis quickly told the deal
er just what land he wanted, ex-
planning it all with a map that he
carried. The dealer procured livery
rig and hauled Davis all over the
country where the alleged purchases
were to be made. Davis engaged
tract after tract, studying his map
carefully and quizzing the dealer like
an expert.
All told, he arranged to buy Sis, 900
worth of farms and city property. He
told the owners to be at McMillan's
office Monday morning with the nee
essary papers, abstracts, etc., and he
and his father would be on hand to
pay the money. He emphasized upon
the owners the fact that he wanted
no delay. If they wanted to do BUSH
ness with him. he said they must
watch the clock.
Completing this end Of the negotia-
ton the young man was treated by
the agent to a fine chicken dinner.
Just before Davis departed he dis
covered that ne was a little short of
cash, and would Mr.. Mcmillan or
some of his friends cash a little check
for $14.
None of them had the money or if
they did, they didn't care to invest
it in the Davis signature, and the
young man was obliged to depart,
suffering temporarily, as ne said, from
a paucity of the purse.
Monday morning the property own
calling on lawyers, abstract men ana
others, in preparation for the $115.O0o
er Mr.. Davis nor his father appeared.
