SAYS GLACIER is RETREATING
Ice Tongue in Alaska Has Moved
Three Miles Since 1911.

Washington, d. G., Dee. 1.-The
news of "stupendous retreat" of one
of the glaciers in Glacier bay. Alaska
since 1911 and of the fact that had
this retreat occurred ten years ago
the boundary, of Alaska would have
been pushed inland, adding materially
TO the area Of our nOrthernmost pos
session is conveyed in recent letter
to the National Geographic society
from Lawrence Martin, of the depart
ment of geology of the University of
Wisconsin, one of the greatest living
authorities on glacial movements
Prof. Martin and the late Ralph 5,
rarr, of the Cornell university, were
the leaders of the 1871 research ex-
petition of the National Geographic
society for the study of Alaskan gla-
ciers.
Glacier bay lies directly north Of
Chicagof island. one of the archipelago
just off the southernmost portion Of
the coast Of Alaska The boundary
line, after following the coast several
miles inward. in "A northwesterly dircc-
ton, suddenly shoots southwest for "A
distance of 100 miles, touching but a
few miles north of Glacier bay.
"One of the glaciers in Glacier bay
has had stupendous retreat of three
miles since Tarr and | were there in
l9ll," reads Prof. Martins letter NO
one ever before recorded so rapid a
recession of an ice tongue and no one
,,11
mclts it's glaciers. as Mt. Wrangell,
i'm the Copper river basin, OF Mt Doug
las, on the Alaska peninsula, may do
some day. This retreat of the ice
tongue in glacier bay has extended
that field from Alaska into Canada,
giving the dominion a new harbor far
north of where they have previously
had a sea coast. but not in a region
where the present resources are liable
To lead to international complications.
It's pity the recession didn't happen
years ago. for then the boundary
would have been pushed inward, add
ing materially to the area of Alaska"
The Alaskan boundary tribunal, in
| 1903, decided that the United States
was entitled To continuous strip OF
territory which extended around the
heads of all the inlets, thus excluding
all contact of British territory with
The sea from PORTLAND canal north to
Mt st. Elias 1t also fixed the east
ern or interior boundary line at desig-
mated mountain peaks to conform to
this decision. This line extends prac-
tically ten leagues from the ocean. The
section of ihe boundary line that is
cut by this reCeding glacier is a trifc
more than one hundred miles in length
so for every mile of recession more
than one hundred square miles of ter
ritory would have been added to Alas
,ka had this phenomenon of nature oc-
CURED before the boundary dispute
was settled.

LIGHTS WILL GO
OUT THIS WEEK
Life Savers and Lighthouse Men
to Quit About December 5

Although as far as regular traffic is
concerned, navigation on the Great
Lakes will close December with the
expiration of a greater portion of the
marine insurance. Capt. Mccormick
of the local life saving station and his
crew will he obliged To remain ON the
job until December - oI whereabouts.
This is due to the struggling steam
ships that will chance storm and ply
the lake until snow and ice force them
10 shelter. The ore carrying season at
the head OF the lakes is about To close
and the last fleet of lumber barges
have already left Duluth and other
west end ports.
The lighthouse tender Marigold is eX
pcctcd To make her last trip of the
season along Keweenaw Point this
week, when most of the lights will be
cNtinGuishcd Owing to the fine
weather that has prevailed almost
since the mid November storm, no
difficulty is expected in the Marigold
reaching Gull Rock, Manitou and other
stations, in leaving which the light
house crews have frequently passed
through some thrilling experiences.
Aside from the wrecks of the steam
crs Waldo and Turret Chief, in the
storm last month, the season has been
a comparatively good one along Ke-
wecnaw Point ana the life saving sta
tions at the Canal and Eagle Harbor
have had comparatively few calls this
season Nevertheless they rendered
valuable service in the wrecks that did
occur, especially the Waldo.
The storm of last month has caused
the retirement of at least one vessel
master. Capt w j. Tomlin of the
steamer Reiss which was thought to
have foundered in the storm with all
on board, but which later was found
To- he safe. Capt Tomlin recounts his
experience as follows
The Rciss was caught ON Lake llur-
ON on her trip To the 500. captain
Tomln, who has the utmost conf
dcncc i'm his ship attempted to ride
out the storm but the waves soon
ioosened his matches ana the ship was
in danger of laundering.
Realizing the gravity of thee situa-
ton he attempted To turn and run for
the Canadian shore. Just rs the ship
swung broadside To the wind, she re-
cciNed the fun strength of the seas
and great combers rushed over her
decks, wrecking aud carrying over
board her cook house ana driving in
every window on the windward side
of the ship.
Expecting the boat to sink any mo
ment. Tomlin headed for the nearest
shelter which he reached in safety
after a run of nearly 100 miles in the
worst sea that he has ever experienced
in his thirty years of service.
Tomln says he has had enough Of
the lakes and that he will leave his
boat forever as soon as he reaches De-
