Arch Between Boundary of Canada and United States
 to Be Dedicated.
PRESIDENT HARDING
 PAYS GREAT TRIBUTE
Writes Letter to Samuel Hill Showing Friendship of
 Two Countries.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3. - "The nnfortified boundary line of more than 5000. miles, between the United States and Canada, is the best test that the world grows wiser and better" President Harding said in a letter to be read September 6 at the dedication of the peace DOT tai near Blaine, Washington. This commemOrates more than a century of uninterrupted peace between Am erica and Great Britain. The portal was conceived by Samuel Hill, of Seattle, good roads exponent to whom the letter was addressed
 The arch. which is partly in the city of Blaine and partly in the municipality of Surrey, is of mas sive proportions. Built of cement and steel, monument at the west ern end of the 3,000-mile boundary line between the United States and Canada of the fact that never since the treaty of Ghent between Great Bflta1n ana uDe UHlleu otdleS W dS signed has there been aught but peace between the two peoples living on either side that line. Across one door is inscribed "Open for 100 Years" Across the other is the legend May These Doors Never Be Closed" Across the plinth is writ ten Children of a Common Mother" and on the reverse side. 'Brethern Dwelling Together in Unit" The 9th of September is historic date for on that day Marshal Joffre fought the battle of the Marne; on that day Layfayette, friend of the American colonies, was born; and on that day the Mayfiower sailed from Plymouth, England. There has been no period in their histories when it has been more necessary that the common ideals of the peo- ples of the United States and the British Empire should be emphasiz- ed, for upon these peoples rests in a larger measure than upon any others the future peace of the world. That is why the significance of this Peace Portal dedication cannot be Overestimated.
