count on the county. Now the action
has been revived through fling OF a
petition by the county declaring II

ground, containing perhaps a quarter

What the result will be cannot be

the country folk are going to fight to

SPLINTER MARKS FAR NORTH
Little Peninsula Extending Into Lake
Of the Woods in Canada Is
American Territory.

Many Americans have worried about
a stubby little peninsula which extends
from Canada into the Lake of the
Woods north of the forty-ninth paral-
lei, which marks the established bound
airy between Canada and the United
States from the Lake of the Woods to
Puget sound.
This small area, chopped off from
Canada and surrounded on three sides
by the waters of the Lake of the
Woods, belongs to the United States.
Disregarding Alaska, 1t is the north
ernmost land Of the American republic.
No map shows any town or village
in the remote and isolated region. 1t
appears merely as a trackless forest
wilderness.
Now it is Indicated that there is a
village in this forgotten enclave, for a
post office has been established at Pc
nasse, and a weekly mail seavice is
maintained. During the winter the
service will be by horse and sleigh
across the ice of the lake.
In the summer a motorboat will be
used.
