spection at some later date These parties re-
port yearly to the commissioner of their respec-
tive governments. The commissioners meet
sometimes in Washington and sometimes in Otta-
wa, and either accept reject the work done by
the field parties. Their decision is final.
The magnitude of the task Is little understood
except by those closely connected with the work.
There 600 miles of boundary from Portland
canal up the coast to, Mount ST Elias, where it
hooks around on to the 141st meridian and shoots
for another 600 miles straight north to the Arctic
ocean.
All the land lying along the boundary must be
mapped an accurate scale, and strip OF top
ography four miles wide must be the entire
length of the 141st meridian; peaks which
not be climbed, or rather those which would take
too long and would be too expensive to scale,
must be determined geodetically; vistas 20 feet
in width must be cut through the timbered val
leys, and monuments must be set up on the
routes Of travel and wherever possible need for
them may occur.
The field season is short, lasting only from
June to the latter part of September, and along
the coast operations constantly hindered by
rain, snow and fog. Rivers abounding in rapids
and quicksands have to be crossed ascend
ed. A man who has never had the loop of track
ing line around his shoulders little knows the
dead monotony of lining boat up swift Alas
kan river with nothing to think of but the dull
ache in his tired muscles and the sharp digging
Of the rope into his chafed shoulders.
Vast glaciers are to be crossed, with their dan
ger Of hidden crevasses. More than one surveyor
has had the snow sink suddenly beneath his feet,
and has been saved only by the rope tying him
to his comrades. Several have been saved by
throwing their alpine stocks crosswise of the gap
and one, while crossing the Yakutat glacier with
a pack on his back, caught only on his extended
arms. High mountains must be climbed; If they
are not the boundary peaks themselves, they must
be high enough to see the boundary peaks over
the intervening SUBMITS.
And these climbs are not the organized expedi
tions of an Alpine club with but one mountain to
conquer, but daily routine Heavy theodolites and
topographic cameras must be carried. and instead

dispute that Carrolps brigade took
hand in driving back the Tigers"
say neither does history disprove that
Carroll's brigade did not take a very
active part in driving them from
Cemetery hill. Comrade Dinneen
says: The fact of all is Carrolrs
brigade was ordered to the right by
request of Gen. Hancock" and further
says: CAROLS brigade came from
Sickles, which was three miles to the
left, marching on the Taneytown road
toward East Cemetery hill, passing the
One Hundred and Thirty-sixth New
York, Fifty-fifth Ohio, and Seventy
third Ohio; crossing the Baltimore
road they charged up the Cemetery
hill" l do not dispute that Carrolls
brigade was ordered to East Cemetery
hill by Gen. Hancock, but l do un-
questionably say that we did not come
from Gen. Sickles' corps, three miles
to the left, marching on the Taney-
town road to East Cemetery hill Our
brigade at the time the order came
and the firing commenced was on
West Cemetery hill, having been en-
gagged there. We then double-quicked
across through the old cemetery and
encountered men fleeing in every di
rection, but still kept charging until
we came to the Baltimore pike.

find in the columns of your paper
of June 10, as we'll as in previous is
sues, controversy between Comrade
Dickleman, A. H. Huber and John Din
neen, representing the Thirty-third
Massachusetts at Gettysburg on Gem
etery hill on the I'd day of July-or
perhaps, more proper, the evening of
that day-when' the famous Louisiana
Tigers made their charge on Cemetery
hill, and were repulsed by Carrolrs
brigade. The comrade of the Thirty
third refers Comrade Huber to a map:
"The Monumental Guide of the Battle
of Gettysburg" etc. These maps in
part are authentic, and perhaps, are
as true as they could be made under
the circumstances, but nevertheless
there does exist some discrepancy.
In looking over this map you say:
You cannot find the One Hundred
and Seventh Ohio on East Cemetery
hill" In that case at least the map
must surely be in error, because l
personally know that they were placed
there during the evening of the first
days engagement. l am also well
acquainted with several of the boys
of that regiment and have talked with
them since the war in reference to the
above matter. AS to the map busi-
ness would not at all be surprised to
find that it has been very greatly
changed from what it formerly was,
especially since the Louisiana Tigers
made their charge.
The Fourteenth Indiana, Fourth
Ohio and the Seventh West Virginia
were not assigned to any particular
line until after the charge-during the
night of the second or early the morn
ing of the third, and that is why our
position was quoted in the map as the
position of the above regiments on the
third, day after the charge.

"The CRATER isn't so easily caught;
he isn't quite so naive as an old fellow
they used to tell about in Andover.
"This old fellow was suspected of
tampering with the church collections.
A couple of clumsy traps that were
set for him failed to work. Then one
day a young deacon walked past his
house leading a new horse.
THAT'S fine horse, Deacon the
old fellow shouted Did you buy him

Yes said the deacon. Then, as

A. Henry Savage Landor, the Eng
lish explorer, who will soon make an
attempt to reach the south pole, is OF
the opinion that Lieut.. Shackleson
failed through having cumbersome
and unnecessarily large expedition.
Mr.. Landor's theory is that small
caravan of trusted and hardy men,
lightly equipped as in his expeditions
through Asia and Africa, is best. Mt.
Landor's activity in aeronautic iHves-
LEGATIONS gives color to the rumor that
an airship will be used by him in his
