BOUNDARY DISPUTE ALL A FAKE
No Question About Canadian Line Says
Washington Correspondent

Newport Miner: The story that
surveyors working on the interna-
tionaI boundary between the Unit
ed States and Canada had discov-
cred an error and that Canada
would cede strip rs miles wide
to the United States, turns out to
be fake without foundation.
The story originated from an OBJ
scure Montana town and has been
published by many newspapers,
most of them protesting little faith
in it's truth.
To ascertain whether there was
anything to it the Miner referred
the clipping to Ashmun Brown,
Washington correspondent of the
Seattle P.-I., and is in receipt of a
letter from Mr.. Brown which states
that the story is a raw fake and
that the congressman from the
northwest, members of the interna-
tional joint commission and the
coast geodetic surveys have been
deluged with inquiries concerning
same. Mr.. Brown further says:
For some years past parties of
engineers working under the di-
rection of o. H. Tittman, director
of the coast and geodetic survey,
have been busy remarking and
mapping the boundary line. This
work has been done jointly with
Canada. Mr.. Tittman's office,
which has received a number of
the clippings, has assured me that
the line is just where it always was
and that the remarking has added
nothing to nor taken anything from
our territory"
