Ii you knew
what ageing in ,Oood
does for pipe tobacco

Even the finest Kentucky Burley
Tobacco (and that's the kind we use)is
green and raw when it's pulled. You
could hardly smoke one pipe load of it.
And here where Velvet is different:
Our ageing takes out that rawness and
harshness, and makes the tobacco mild
and mellow and gives it fine flavor.
Ageing in wood does what no artificial
treatment can do.
Remember-Velvet Tobacco, aqed in

The pitiful story of how a IL

These markers were placed there
in the late nineties by a party Of
United States surveyors operating
under an act of congress approved
June 4, 1897, which carried appro-
priations for the sundry civil ex-
penses of the government for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1898.
Along this stretch of 70 miles of
mountainous country r stationed
four stone monuments and 80 iron
posts. One of the monolithic stone
monuments is placed on the inter
national boundary at its intersec-
ton with the 39th meridian, one
at the point where the Great Nor
thern railway crosses the state line,
one where the Northern Pacific
railway main track crosses the line
and one where the line crosses the
north bank of the Kootenai river.
These monuments are six feet in
height and 10 inches square, set
three feet in the ground with faces
directed to the cardinal points of
the compass. On the east side they
bear the inscription Montana" in
letters two inches in height, and on
the west side idaho" Such monu-
ments as could not be transported
to the point of location were sawed
into blocks and transported upon
the backs of pack mules.
Between the stone monuments at
prominent SUBMITS, road, trail or
stream crossings, not exceeding a
mile apart and intervisible wher-
ever possible, were planted iron
posts, six feet in length and stand
ing three feet above the surface.
Each post bore a brass cap upon
which was inscribed "Idaho-Mon
tana boundary line" Under each
post was placed a stone marked
with charcoal or a vial filled with
ashes.
At points where the rocky for
nation prevented the planting of
such iron posts the surveyors were
required to cement a copper plug
in the rock and to erect a truncated
conical mound of stone, not less
than two and a half feet high and
five feet broad, about four feet to
the north of the plug. These plugs
were inscribed "Mont-Ida" and
properly oriented.

were found within a distance of

of the mounds, being four feet

Altogether four stone monu-

ed by the surveyors at elevations
ranging from 1888 to $3.50 feet.
From the point where this sur

miles south of the international
boundary, the dividing line be-

augmented by a field assistant
Transportation was provided by
saddle and pack animals. The
work was greatly retarded during
the first summer by smoke, and
by snow early in the fall. The sea-
sons accomplishment consisted of
the triangulation from Spokane to
the boundary line, a distance of 70
miles, and the location of the inter
section of the 39th meridian with
the international boundary.
The latter was accomplished by
identifying the Mooyie Trail mon
ument, which had been erected by
surveyors working under the In
ternational boundary commission
in 1858, 1859 and 1860. This mon
ument consisted of a large pile of
partly angular rocks, most of
which had been knocked down in
the meantime by falling trees al
though originally the trees in that
vicinity had been cut down sur
rounding the monument. 1t was
located near the Mooyie river, 81
miles from Bonner's Ferry, Ida,
and easily reached by the Wild
Horse trail. Although it was 81
miles west of the boundary line be-
tween Montana and Idaho it was
the nearest monument or mark of
any kind near the international
boundary that could be identified
in 1897.
The survey was resumed in June,
1898, with two parties in the field,
but was not completed until Octo-
Der 5, 1899.
Originally the present area of
Montana was included partly in
Louisiana and partly in Oregon,
he dividing line being the crest of
he Rocky Mountains. The terri
DRY of Oregon was organized Aug.
4, 1848, and included the present
tates of Oregon, Washington and
IDAHO and parts of Montana and
Wyoming.
The territory of Nebraska, form
d from part of the Louisiana Pur-
base, was organized May 80, 1854.
t took in the country from Min
esota to the continental divide, in
the state of Nebraska and
arts of Colorado, Wyoming, Mon
ana and North and South Dakota.
The Territory of Dakota was
ormed March 2, 1861, from parts
f Minnesota and the territory of
Iebraska, and on March 5, 1868,
lie territory Of Idaho was formed
f parts of Nebraska, Dakota and
Washington, the latter having been
rganized March 2, 1853 from a
ortion of the territory of Oregon.
Originally the territory of Idaho
ontained about 324,875 square
but in 1864 it was reduced
square miles by the forma-
on of the territory of Montana,
hich was taken entirely from
laho, and in 1868 was further re-
iced by the formation of the ter
tory of Wyoming, almost all of
