Markino Alsska's Boundary,

Sitka, Alaska, June 23.-Scarring a
broad line across 600 miles of wilder
ness in the far north in order that the
possessions of the United States and
Canada may have a distinct separation
at every point will be completed dur
ing the open season. The work has
been in progress since 1907 under the
direction of Thomas Riggs, Jr., civil
engineer, representing the United
and Il. D. Craig, representing a similar
commission of Canada.
Although the United States and Can.
ada have been neighbOrS in the far
north for over a half century, the eX
act dividing line between their posses
sions, especially as to the northern
portion, was, previous to this survey,
indefinite and conflicting. Many dis
putes arising, the two governments
decided finally through their commits
sions that an absolute survey clearly
established. and marked for all time
should be made along the one hundred
and forty-first meridian, from the
Mount st. Elias Alps on the Pacific to
the Arctic ocean, a distance of approx.
mately 600 miles.
The United States surveying party
consisted of from sixty to eighty men
each season since the work was under
taken.
The actual visual result of the six OF
seven years Of efforts is Il twenty foo
vista, cut, like a gigantic avenue OF
lane. through all timber and brush dis
tricts, together with monuments set a
intervisible points from three to foul
miles apart.

to two eminent British firms, with au-
thority to build and manage a naval
dockyard at 1smid, and to purchase
the repairing works at Stenia, on the
BOsporus. 1t is asserted positively
that a third superb readnought has
been ordered from the same group.
Greece has two large warships build

that Turkey must have three. The

A Scandinavian Alliance.

Copenhagen, June 22.-The possibility
of a defensive alliance between Nor
way, Sweden and Denmark is occupy
ing the serious attention of statesmen
in all three of these Scandinavian
countries.
Up to Il few months ago such a COM.
bination was considered out of the
question because Of the friction be-
tween Norway and Sweden, whose uD-
ion was dissolved in 1905.
If Sweden joins such an alliance it
will be because Of the so called Rus
sian peril. On most questions since
the dissolution Of the union with Nor
way Sweden has not been On very cor
dial terms with the other Scandinavian
countries, and it will take some great
ommon danger to bring her into
closer relations with her immediate
ncighbors.
The feeling that such an alliance will
come is very strong in Norway. One
of it's strongest prophets is the arctic
explorer, DR.. Fridthjof Nansen, who
| believes that the understanding will
| come as soon as the necessity for 1t
grows Il little stronger. With Norway
| and Sweden seeking such an alliance,
! it is certain that Denmark would make
no objection to joining.

Record Crop For Kansas.


Topeka, Kan, June 23.-Kansas
farmers, and especially Kansas farm
ers' wives and daughters, have been
praying hard and long that there
wouldn't be wal with Mexico or with
anybody clse-nOt at least until the
wheat harvest was Over. For this year
as never before Kansas Is going to
need every harvest hand who AN be
raked up or scrapcd up anywhere or
anyhow to harvest the big wheat crop.
War means that what men can be
obtained will have to be paid anywhere
from S. to $40 il day and board, and
when IL farmer has to pay that much
for harvest hands it takes Il large slice
of his profits.
Faced with the prospect of 4 100000
600 bushel crop and a war scare the
state free employment bureau also Is
doing ii lot of worrying, for the farm
ers of the state depend upon the
bureau to furnish the harvest hands.
Not fewer than 10000 men are needed
this year.
The result is that Kansas is going
literally to be swampcd with wheat
and non this fall. Grain men are
figuring. because of short crops in
other countries, that the average price
for American wheat will be 20 cents
a bushel, and ut that rate Kansas
farmers are going to get around $1Oo,-
100000 for their grain, an average OF
more than $50 for every man, woman
| and child in the state.
