Alaska's Boundary Line

The boundary line between Canada and Alaska has been finally defined. The surveying parties, American and Canadian, have reached the Arctic shore. The work has been going on steadily since 19O6 It consisted in tracing the line of the 141st meridian. They had first to find the line to get a starting point. The Russians had not planted monuments along the line when the country was sold to us. The surveying parties had telegraphic sig
 nals from Seattle and Vancouver flash
 ed to them and SO checked up the local time and thus, by comparison, fixed the parallel to a certainty. The problem then was to run a line directly north toward the geographical pole and not be deceived by the magnetic pole. Gus tomarily, exploring parties seek the easiest way, but here was no compro- mise; the line had to be absolutely straight. Even Mount St. Elias was climbed-16,5OO feet-and it was done in two weeks, whereas the duke of Abruzzi took six months for his expe
 dition. The work almost throughout was done amid snow blizzards, on the ice and over glaciers. When the two parties reached the summit of St. Elias five day snowstorm overlook them. At the close of one season every one of

the 200 pack horses was either dead or unfit for use.
 The line was divided into sections, and each party worked independently. The stations were about 15 miles apart, and every three miles or SO monuments were placed larger at principal points and smaller at obscure places The larger were of aluminum bronze five feet high, set in heavy bases of con- crete. These monuments had often to be carried by the men themselves where the trail was too much for the pack animals. The concrete base weighed 1900 pounds, and the sand, water and cement for them had to be man packed up the steep mountain pathways to the sites. The sections divided between the two parties were counter-checked each by the other from the field notes.
 Fuel was scarce in the Arctic regions, but generally willows enough were found to belp out the artificial fuel. The sufferings and the narrow escapes are things that can be imagined. One man was lost by falling down a glacier to be dashed to pieces. Another be. came a physical and mental wreck from the hardsAips But at last both parties stood on the Arctic shore and the Stars and Stripes and the British standard were unfurled side by side. Altogether it was one of the greatest works in sur. veying that has ever been done, pe- cnliar hardship of it being that the line must go exactly, no matter whether lofty mountain, like St. Elias. or a ghastly ravine stood in the way. Many of the mountains, however, were avoid ed by triangulation and a system of crose-observation, which established the liue Geographically.
 After the surveyor and the triangu- lator had finished their work of estab- fishing the line, the topographer had to map out the region. To do this. the typographical party had to reach the high points in order to examine the neighbOring land accurately, plot it's contours and record with considerable nicety the physical peculiarities and the kind of trees growing there, SO that should monument disappear the site could be relocated and thus avoid the exhaustive work of the survey. So really the whole ground was gone over 1 tWice-Ex.

The Whale Killer

The fishermen throughout Southeast ern Alaska are preparing to make a fight this year for the abolition of the fish traps and particularly the whaling stations. Paradoxical as it may seem to the uniniliated the whale is the fish ermau's best friend. For that reason ] it must be protected.
 Who of the tourist, the farmer, the business man, the miner, or anybody else for that matter, who is not a fish, erman, understands tho amount of damage these whale killers are causing?
 The tourist travelling on the palatial steamer sees a whale and thinks noth- ing of taking a shot at it. No law to prohibit its destruction; yet the whale I is the best friend tbe experienced fish, erman has.
 In Norway the government was forced by the angry-if not hungry fishermen to pass a law prohibiting the killing of whales. Not however, until the fishermen had destroyed every whaling station. The fishermen of that country begged for years for such a law without relief. Finally overcome by poverty and facing starvation by the lack of Ash, they organized strong force and proceeded to change the con. ditiou by destroying every whaling station. Then the government took action by passing a law for the proteC- tion of the whales. Shall the history of that country repeat itself in South eastern Alaska?
 Fishermen say that from the whale down, every specie of fish feeds on her ring. The herring is found in schools and will stay in deep water unless dis turbed. If a whale comes along the school will break up in punches and make for shallow water followed by other Ash. It is then that the fisher men harvest. Let there be DO whales and the fish will remain in deep water, without the reach of the fishermen.
 Itis known that two or three whales will break up a school of herring in deep water and drive a bunch in some bay or inlet and for days will keep the herring bottled up, as it were, the whales running back and forth feeding the while. The same applies to the salmon, in that it will rewain in deep water unless disturbed. Hence, the destruction of the whales means starv- ation to the fishermen. No wonder they are opposed to the whale killers. Petersburg Progressive.
