MAY SETTLE LINE DISPUTE
Boundary Commissions from Wis.,

Trip on Lake Pepin.

Madison.-The special committees
Of the Wisconsin and Minnesota leg
islatures appointed to recommend a
settlement of the boundary line dis
pute between the two states have met
at Red Wing, Mimi, and proceeded
down the river to view the territory
in dispute at Lake Pepin and later
go to Duluth and look over the ter
ritOry in controversy at st. Louis
river. The prospects are that the
committees of the two states will
reach an amicablc agreement. If an
agreement is reached, the boundary
suit now pending in the United States
Supreme court at Washington will
be dropped Wisconsin claims that
its boundary runs to the middle of
the main channel of Lake Pepin and
to the middle OF the stream in st.
Louis river. Minnesota claims to the
middle of Lake Pepin and to the
middle of the main channel in the
st. Louis river, as it was before be-
ing diverted by river improvements.
Fishery rights are the principal mat
ters involved in the Lake Pepin sit
uatiOn. Revenues from taxation of
property are involved in the dispute
at the st. Louis river.
