United States viii
Be Made Larger
Northern Boundary Line to be
Showed Twenty-Five Miles
Farther North

According ito late reports the
boundary line between the Unit
ed States and Canada has been
altered 25 miles to- the north,
dian country into the United
thus taking in that much Cana
States. This alienation does
not extend the. whole length Of
the boundary, but only from the
Pacific Coast to the Great Lakes.
This matter has been under way
between the two countries for
some time and is the final ad-
justment of a dispute of long
standing, having dated back to
1910 and the years that followed
The American government at
that time demanded that the
boundary be located to take in
the territory that the final ad-
justment gives us. England would
not consent and it looked as if
war would be declared. The
Democrats of that time used
that as their political thunder
an the expression, ''Fifty-four
Forty or Fight" was common.
It was settled on the 49th para
lell and has remained so to the
present time.
Just what effect this will have
on the hundreds of Canadian
homesteaders is difficult to make
out, whether they will prove up
under American homestead laws
or continue under Canadian laws
It is between 1900 and 1900
miles from the Great Lakes to
the Pacific ocean and strip
that long and Is miles wide
means considerable: more country
added to the United States.

ENDS FIGHT
IN THEsScHOOL BOARD
President and Vice President Re-
=, tanned Apparent Truce Is
Reached

With the reelection yesterday OF Henry
p. Blair as president and Ernest H.
Daniel as vice president of the Board
Of Education. an impending cleavage
among the directors was averted and ap-
parent harmony restored after bitter
temporary division. Opposition by five
of the nine members to the retention Of
the superintendent of a colored normal
school had resulted in the final outbreak.
Blair headed the minority Of four and
Daniel was the conspicuous figure in the
ranks of the majority. Daniel had been
mentioned as a cand' ate for the presi-
dency. as had Mrs. Susie Root Roberts,
also Of the majority. Had Mr.. Blair de-
clined to be renominateA the minority
would have chosen John B. Larner, it
was rumored, as the presidential candi-
date.
The compromise at last Tuesdays meet
an3, regarding the retention Of the color
ed school superintendent had increased
somewhat the feeling among the members
and it was predicted the majority would
step in at the elections yesterday and
take the presidency. Compromises on
ranked them, 1t was said. and they had
determined the control of the board
should be more definitely tangible.
Following Tuesdays meeting. however,
pacifiers had been at work. with the re-
suit that President Blair was reelected
and Mr.. Daniel retained his vice presi-
dency. Both elections were unanimous
What concessions. if any, were made by
the minority could not be learned at yes
terday's session.
The meeting was the first of the new
fiscal year of the public school system. No
changes were made in committee men,
bership. and the committee assignments
were the same as during the old year.
At the suggestion Of John B. Larner,
rule 43 c. regarding vacations for school
nurses, was amended. giving the nurses
an annual vacation of thirty days. Su-
perintendent of Schools E. L. Thurston
and the elementary schools committee
were directed to advise upon the creation
Of a new ONCE for a director Of PEN
