Southern Journalist.
A certain editorial writer on the
stan OF a Southern newspaper was IN
clined to dilatoriness during certain
periods OF conviviality, and caused
thereby much concern In the breast OF
the foreman Of the composing room
Just prior to the moment when the
forms must go to press. But the writ

could not we'll be discharged, since he
occupied the position Of managing ed.
itor. Many times the editorials were
late and the paper delayed in g)ing to
press, but the delinquent writer al
ways made good after q fashion.
Finally he hit upon q scheme when he
was called upon at the last moment
for copy" that may, in all justice to
expediency, be called the art OF gen
ius.
The hour was very late and no lead
ing editorial had gone to the compos'
Ing room. In frantic haste the fore
man sent for the editorial writer. and
only after half an hour was he located
in q nearby saloon and much the
worse for his dalliance there. He
grasped the intelligence that he bad
forgotten his leading column. and
made his way as fast as he could to
his Office. S~natching a piece Of copy
paper In one hand. he caught up Q
copy of the New York Times with the
other. and from 1t clipped q leading
editorial. which he pasted on the pa

MICHIoAN's LOST LAND,


Curious Boundary Dispute Between
Wisconsin and Wolverine state.
The project to appoint a joint COM
mission Of the States of. Michigan and
Wisconsin to examine into and correct
what Is declared to be an engineers
error In marking the boundaries of the
two States sixty-six years ago Is up
again. Peter White Is interested in
the matter and wants the Legislature
to vest him with authority to try
and secure the consent Of the Wiscon-
sin Legislature for a commission.
George II. Cannon, a retired sur
veyor, now In his eighty-first year, liv-
Ing on farm near the village Of
Washington, In Macomb County, who
spent the Ten. years from 1850 to 1860
on government surveys in the upper
peninsula, has given the subject good
deal Of consideration, and he Is con-
WINGED that because of the error in the
original government boundary survey
there are now In Wisconsin about 900
square miles, including some prosper
GUS towns and villages, that rightfully
belong to Michigan He wrote an ex-
haustive paper to show that the sur
veyor took a wrong terminal in rum
ming the boundary between the two
States and the mistake has never been
corrected. This paper is printed In
volume 80 Of the State Pioneer Soci-
ety's records, from which the following
facts are cleaned:
Congress IN 1898 authorized the
boundary survey. Michigan had been
admitted as a State; Wisconsin was
still Territory. In 1910 Captain
Cram, of the typographical engineers,
was assigned by the War Department
to the work. Little was known of the
region. 30 bis instructions were neces-
sarily somewhat vague. In general
terms they were to mark as the bound

from its mouth to Lake Superior to the

marked ON the survey made by Captain
Cram"
The accompanying map shows the
boundary line as marked by Captain
Cram and what Is claimed as the cor
rect boundary. The portion between
the two rivers Is much more valuable.
Representative James s. Monroe, who
represents the city Of Ironwood dis
trict, on the boundary line. says that
what is marked on the map as the
Montreal river" is now known as the
least branch" and the least branch"
as marked Is called the Montreal
river"
Inasmuch as Wisconsin has held the
disputed territory for sixty-six years,
there are doubts MS to whether she
will now consent even to discussion
of the proposition to rearrange the
boundary.

head waters, thence In direct line
through the wilderness to Lac Vieux
desert (Lake of the Desert). Captain
Cram came into the region by way of
the Menominee and Brule rivers to
Lake Brule, where he commenced his
operations.
Captain Cram worked on the sur
vey two seasons. From a synopsis OF
his report to the department 1t ap-
pears that his conclusion was that
there was not to be found In nature
any conditions Of a natural boundary
between the head waters Of the Mont
real and Menominee rivers. and, there
fore, 1t became necessary to make a
delineation Of the country between
those head waters and along the In
tended route Of the boundary.
Accordingly. the survey was COM
menced from the Lake Of the Desert
and continued westward. When within
q distance of some twenty miles he
came to a river two rods In width,
which he thought might be the Mont
real. and, carrying the survey to its
mouth, found that the Ontonagon had
been reached. and that the Montreal
must be many miles to the westward
Continuing the survey westward for
thirty miles or more, q good-sixed
stream was intersected which Mr.. Can
non says was the east branch Of the
Montreal river. but which he deemed
to be the real Montreal river, the OBJ
3ect Of his quest
Making some examinations Of the re-
gion in the vicinity he selected the
confluence Of two streams for the
terminal point Of the boundary survey
at a place on the east branch, where
a small stream which he named the
,Balsam river came In from the east,
while the main river to its source, six
miles further south, was called Pine
river, and the lake from which It issues
Pine lake. From this point the distance
In a direct line to Lake Superior, at
it's mouth, Is eighteen miles or more.
and by the meanders Of the river ND

Captain Cram marked tho boundary

of the main river.
