THE TOUCH OF HUMBUG.

Editor Advertiser:-If there is any
thing more ridiculous than talking of
the defeat of the relief bill as measure
to build up the American merchant ma
rine between here and the coast, when
those who do most of the talking have
tied up three fine American steamers
in San Francisco bay and wont put
one of them in service, no matter what
the winter pressure may be at both
ends of the route, we should like to be
advised of its claims.

 The magnitude of the task Is little understood except by those closely connected with the work
 There are 600 miles of boundary from Portland canal up the p Mount St Elias where 1t hooks around on to the Hist meridian and shoots for another 500 miles straight north to the Arctic ocean.
 All the land lying along the boundary must be mapped on accurate scale and a strip of top ogFaphy four miles wide must be run the entire length of the Hist meridian. peaks which can. net be climbed or rather those which would take toe long and would be too expensive to scale must be determined geodetcany: vi,tas 20 feet III width must be cut through the tinbered val leYs. and monuments must be set up on the routes or travel and wherever possible need Tor them may occur.

 There is no longer the guiding line of the coast To follow, and the surveyor must rely on his in. stinet for topography and woodcraft to pilot him through an gnhFokeu wilderness
