BUILT A FORT IN CANADA
Foolish eIunder That Was Made by
the United States Government
After tho War Of 1912.

It is not generally known that our
government once undertook to erect
q fort on British soil. The site Of
this fort, afterward called Fort
Montgomery, was about half mile
northeast of Rouse's Point, N. Y,
not far from the foot of Lake Cham.
plain. Popularity it was known as
"Fort Blunder." It appears that
after the war of 1912 our govern
ment felt the necessity Of guarding:
the entrance to Lake Champlain..
Accordingly in 1915 was begun the
erection of Fort Montgomery. The
original notion was to construct a!
great fort. In those days that meant
. fort with three tiers Of guns.
When the work had been in hand,
for some time it was discovered that.
owing to an error of early surveyors
the actual boundary between New
York and Canada, the forty-ffth:
parallel of north latitude, passed
south of the fort. Work on the fort
was suspended for about rs years,
and not until the year 1912 was the
territory restored to the United
States. The agreement known as.
the Webster-Ashburton treaty, estab-'
fishing the northwestern boundary,
made the line between New York.
and Canada conform to the old and.
incorrect early survey. Thus "Fort
Blunder" was again on United States
territory. The people Of Maine, it is
said, never quite forgave Daniel.
Webster for giving up, as they
claimed he did, a great slice of terri
tory to which they thought them.
selves entitled in order to save
Rouse's Point.
After the boundary question was
settled the fort was finished, but it
was never manned by more than suf-
fcient men to keep it in order, and
it was never armed" -Harpers
Weekly.

SHALL We HAVE A
RESERVATION DAY?
SUGGESTION MADE THAT We FlTTINGlY
CELEBRATE TOWNS FIRST AN.
NIvERSARY.

On the 18th of next August
Timber Lake will be a year old
and the suggestion has been made
which seems to meet with general
approval, that on that day we fit
tingly observe the towns first
birthday. In fact such celebra-
ton could easily be made to last
two days and could be made a res
ervation affair.
AS at least two months prepar-
alton for an event of this character
would be necessary in order to Sc
cure proper public attractions,
properly advertise and work out a
detailed program, we presume that
definite action will be taken on the
matter very shortly.
Such celebration conducted
somewhat on the lines of the fall
carnivals held in many towns,
could be made an event not only
valuable to the people in a ma
terial way-offering an opportuni-
ty for the exhibition of reservation
crops to some extent, but very en-
tertaining and enjoyable. Free
open-air concerts, speaking, athlet-
ic events, ETC., properly arranged
for would make very fitting cele
bration for the end of the first
year on the reservation.

FOREIGN OWNERS OF LAND
Are Not Allowed In State Of okIaho-
ma-Some States Limit an
Aliens Holdings.

Several states of the Union spe-
cifically prohibit foreigners from
owning land within their borders.
In Oklahoma it is prohibited alto
gether. Other states allow natural
lied aliens to own land and those
who have declared their intention to
become so.
This is also the law in the Dis
trict of Columbia. Nevada makes
no restrictions as to foreigners en-
cept Chinese, who are not permitted
to own land in that state. Some Of
the states, including Indiana and
Iowa, limit the amount of land an
alien may own to $50 acres.
In South Carolina the limit is 500
acres and in Pennsylvania 5000. In
New York and Texas the laws are
similar in their effect to the law re-
Gently passed by the Japanese diet.
This law restricts the ownership OF
land in Japan to such foreigners as
come from a country which extends
similar privileges to Japanese resi-
lents, says Case and Comment. The
operation of the Japanese alien land
ownership law, it is said, will not
materially change the status of
Americans in Japan in the matter
If land ownership. Under the terms

country may own or hire and occupy
houses, manufactures, warehouses,
shops and premises in the country

but the treaty does not confer rights
o own or hire agricultural lands.

TREE PLANTING
NOW UNDER WAY
ARB0R DAY WILL SEE QUITEA SUBSTAN'
TIAL START MADE BY CLAIM.
HOLDERS.

While the matter of tree plant
ing on the reservation, and especi-
all in town here, has not received
the attention that it should, still
very good start has been made,
The big expense the Commercial
Club has been put to since its or
ganization, in connection with the
county organization campaign and
land office contest, has left its
treasury so empty of anything re-
sembling money that the beautify-
ing of the public reserves cannot
be undertaken on as large a scale
as many would like to see done.
Because of a lack of funds the
town trustees are also unable to as
sist in the matter. However, in
the country. Judging from the rath-
er large shipments of nursery stock
that has arrived and is still coming
in, we are convinced that this i'm
portant matter has not been ne
elected.
The importance of Transforming
these bleak prairies into a land
dotted with groves in the least pos
sible time, can hardly be over-em-
phasized. Trees will not only give
comfort to those who raise them
but will be material addition to
the value of the lands thus planted
with them.
