Boundary Lines, Etc.

Editor National Tribune: Having
been subscriber to The National Trib-
une for number of years. I take the
liberty Of asking you the following
questions:
When and by whom was the bound
AIRY line between the United States and
Canada established?
| Why was it so irregular in form.
especially at the northwest corner of
the State of Washington, at Lake of
| the Woods and around the State of
Maine?
Why was not the st. Lawrence River
used to its mouth as was other rivers
| and bodies of water?
How did Russia come in possession of
land on the Western Hemisphere known
as Alaska?-J. B. Knapp, 722 Fern
wood avenue. Toledo. o.
The boundary lines between the Unit
ed States and Canada are the result of
long negotiation and several wars. This
PROBABLY began with the Indians, who
Inhabited this country prior to the ar
rival of the white men, and We're con-
tinued in the disputes between the
French and English settlers. The set
| tlement after the Revolutionary War
left the lines between Canada and the
United States indefinite, which led to
much trouble and brought the coun-
tries several times to the verge of war.
This was particularly the case during
| Tyler's Administration, when we almost
came to blows over the Maine bound
AIRY, but finally arrived at a compro-
mise in what was known as the Web
ster-Ashburton treaty. The next i'm
portant dispute was over the north
western boundary between Oregon and
British Columbia. After the War of
1912 the two Governments accepted the
49th parallel as the boundary between
Canada and the United States as far as
the Rocky Mountains. There was a
strong divergence of views as to the
extension of this boundary to the Pa
citic Coast, both Governments claiming
the territory as far as the southern
boundary of Alaska. James X Polk
was elected President on the issue of
'Fifty-four forty or Fight" That is,
that our western boundary should be
extended as far north as the southern
boundary of Alaska. After Polk was
elected he made a humiliating back
down at the dictation of the slave lords.
degrees less than claimed. He diverted
attention from his back-down by PEE
cipitating the Mexican War. This still
left much of the boundary in dispute,
and several times hostilties were mar
rowly averted The matter was finally |
left in 1871 to the arbitration of the |
German Emperor.
Russia came into possession of Alas |
ka by discovery and occupation. Com |
modore Bering, a Dane in the Russian |
service, discovered the country and q |
number of islands as early as 174O, and |
in 171S a Russian company began to I

4 believe that John r. Reed and
myself were the first two Union SOL
diers to enter Petersburg. We were
on detailed duty at Point of Rocks at
that time. j see by my diary that on
April 5, 1865, we got a pass and we
went into Petersburg. Running over
the city, We saw very few white men
there that day, mostly colored folks
In going into the city we went right
across our works into the rebel works,
and between the two lines / remember
well seeing dead men who were shot
down during the many charges, and il
was impossible to tell our soldiers from
rebels or colored men, as they had lain
there in the hot sun so long and when
we got into the rebel works ! could
plainly see why we could not shell them
out as they lived underground and if
our side had shelled continuously until
now they could not have been driven
out of their works. In Petersburg we
saw many marks of our cannon balls
in church steeples and public buildings
We spent the whole day In the city, and
returned safely at night. And in the

1865, President Lincoln, his wife and

Union men believed the guard had been

10 or more of the Confederates within

men were captured before they had
travelled three miles. and others almost
succeeded in making the Union lines
before they were retaken. BiNby
pressed on without food for almost a
day, and was finally run down and
rushed back to the stockade. Some of
the Northern men were tied up by
their thumbs, but nevertheless refused
TO disclose the principals in the revolt.
When Bixby was finally released the
