represent the sea. 1t was covered
with stiff paper fish folded slightly
through the middle. There was brass
ring in the head and the name Of the
fish was written underneath. Each
guest was given a small hook and line,
and each one was given the name of
fish. There was Miss Cod" Mr..

and each person could retain only the
fish bearing his or her name: all 9TH

International Boundary Survey
The surveyors OF the United States
and Canadian governments have COM
pleted the survey of the boundary be-
tween the two countries from the
extreme southwestern end of Alaska
to Mt. st. Elias. It took over three
years to do this work. Stone monu-
ments were set to mark the boundary
and trees along the line were cleared
away. Maps and pictures showing
scenes along the boundary line will
be displayed at the Alaska Yukon
Pacific exposition in Seattle next
summer. The survey OF the boundary
north Of Mt. st. Elias to the Arctic
ocean will be completed in about two
years more.
