In the interior the difficulties of the work are
changed. Long wooded stretches. interrupted by
barren ridges take the place of glaciers and cras
~ mountains In place Of snow fields there are
heartbreaking "niggerhead" swamps to be crossed
where the packhorse becomes mired and exhaust
ed and the temper of man is tried to the breaking
point. Supplies have to be ferried across the rtv-
ers on log RATS. while the horses swim.
There is no longer the guiding line Of the coast
to follow. and the surveyor must rely on his In
stinct for topography and on woodcraft to pilot him
through an unbroken Wilderness
The inconvenience Of transportation have to be
overcome. and year by year they are becoming
worse the work carries each year farther
from the Yukon with its steamers. For the season
of 1909 the American party of 30 men will have to
walk 800 miles before they can even start work.
Then the topographer with his theodolite tries to
make up for lost time. Regular hours for work
are ignored. days work is reckoned as ten
hours, If the work can be done in that time; If not

Ratjste Jackets Dainty.

The terrifying popularity of the lace
coat has very nearly killed it, as the
awful results which have been
achieved in midsummer costumes by
the use of it is enough to prejudice
the most unbiased against the gar
ment.
Worn over an ankle-length fr0ck of
bright purple or green, with large
black hat heavily fringed with 9S-cent
''plumes," they make a picture which
must cause the gods to weep.
The lovely little batiste jackets. how
ever. worn with wonderful gowns Of
the same fairy-like fabrics. are quite
another story. 1t would be hard to
resist the appeal Of one of these cut

erously embroidered and insertiOned

.Maud Muller" Party.

During these golden October days,
outdoor and indoor parties combined
are quite the thing. A hostess noted
for her originality invited her friends
to MAUD Muller party. The invi-
tations said: Informal: please come
in country costumes" As she lived in
q suburb. time tables were inclosed
with the train marked that she wished
them to take. The hour was i've. and
a merry throng took the four o'clock
train. An immense hay wogan was At
the station. with the splendid big
horses gayly decorated and driven BY
the regular farm men instead Of the
liveried coach and footman. There
were horns for the men. and the
hostess awaited them on the steps Of
the port cochere. Big straw hats
were given to the men with red rib
bons and the girls had blue ones.
Rakes with gilt handles were given

also, there was q prize for the neat

this. and then pillow was brought for
the men to try their skill. with prizes
for the straightest row, and for the
one made in the quickest time. BY
this time twilight was falling and
guests watched the chickens fed and
the cows MIXED. Then all adjourned
to the dining room. where a spurious
supper was served; everything except
the meats being a product Of the
place. The decorations were most
unique. being likewise home produc-
tons. Gourds. small squashes and
pumpkins were converted into most
attractive flower holders, and the flow
ers were wild purple asters and gold |

happy one. At half-after eight the

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 or 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 are 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 on an accurate scale. and strip of top
ography four miles wide must be run the entire
length of the 141st meridian; peaks which can.
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 umbered val
leys and monuments must be set up on the
routes of travel and wherever a 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 are constantly htndered by
rain. snow. and fog. Rivers Astounding In rapids
and quicksands have to be crossed or ascend
ed. A man who has never had the loop of a track
ing line around his shoulders little knows the
dead monotony of lining a 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

are not the boundary peaks themselves, they must

FOOD QUESTION
Settled with Perfect Satisfaction by
. Dyspeptic.

It's not an easy matter to satisfy all
the members of the family at meal
time as every housewife knows.
And when the husband has dyspep-
STA and can't eat the simplest ordinary
food without causing trouble, the food
question becomes doubly annoying.
An Illinois woman writes:
My husbands health was poor, he
had no appetite for anything l could
get for him, it seemed.
He was hardly able to work, was
taking medicine continually, and as
soon as he would feel better would go
to work again only to give up in
few weeks. He suffered severely with
stomach trouble.
Tired of everything had been able
to get for him to eat, one day seeing
an advertisement about Grape Nuts, l
got some and tried it for breakfast the
next morning.
We all thought it was pretty good
although We had no idea of using it
regularly. But when my husband came
home at night he asked for Grape
Nuts.
1T was the same next day and I
had to get it right along, because when
We would get to the table the question.
