THE ALASKA BOUNDARY.
' A territorial dispute similar tn that in
Venezuela, but in which this country is
far more directly concerned, is rapidly
approaching the critical stage. That is,
tho Question of the boundary line be
tween Alaska and British Columbia
For several years it has been a matter of
negotiation between the two govern
ments, and much has been published on
the subject. As will be seen, there is at
present a well-defined boundary line,
accepted and contended for by this
country. It was laid down by the treaty
of 1825. between Russia and Great
Britain. It was accepted and recognized
without disDute bv Russia, by Great
Britain, by tho United States, by the
Hudson Bay Company, and by the Do'
minion of Canada, down to 1887. Then
the Canadian government suddenly dis
covered it was all wrong. They declaied
that the treaty of 1825 did not define the
boundary correctly ; it was ambiguous,
and was drawn by men who did not
know what they were about. For ex
ample, it says the line shall run up
Fortland channel, when it really means
Behm channel. How do we know the
treatv makers ireant Behm when they
said Portland? Because, say the Cana
dians, Portland channel had not at that
time been named. Really, it seems, to a
mere Yankee, rather funny that the
negotiations of that treaty should have
mentioned by name, as a well-known
thing, something that had not yet re
ceived a name! Strange, too, that the
channel should not yet have been named
in 182o, when it was explored ana
named, b' its present name, by Captain
Vancouver in 1793!
Again, the treaty provides that the
boundary line shall follow the highest
ridge of the mountain?, provided it be
not more than ten marine leagues from
tue coast. Where the ridge is further
inland, or where there is no ridge, the
boundary shall be "formed by a line
parallel to the windings of the coast" -at
a distance of ten marine leagues there
from. Now that coast is exceedingly
irregular, and ia fringed with an almost
continuous chain of islands, some of
... them of considerable width. The Amer
ican - contention has been that the
"coast" means the maitiland, and that
the phrase "windings of the coast"
means that the distance is to bo meas
ured inland from the innermost cxtrem-
. ities of all large bays and gulfs, as well
as from the outermost extremities of
capes and headlands. The Canadians,
n the other band, have argued that by
"coast" is meant the outer shores of the
islands; or that, at any rate, the ten
league measurements must be made
from the main channels of coast waters,
and from lines drawn boldly across from
headland to headland, and not from the
indentations. As there is no well-de-fincd
mountain ridge, the line will have
to be drawn parallel with the coast.
The width of the "panhandle" of Alaska
will therefore vary by many miles,
according as one or the other of these
systems of reckoning is adopted. Of the
value of the property in dispute there
can be no question. It ia capable of
producing every year more wealth than
the whole purchase price of Alaska.
England cannot be blamed for wanting
it, if she can prove it to be fairly hers.
.Certainly the United States cannot
afford to relinquish it except upon the
most convincing proofs. But, however,
the dispute may be settled, we think in
fluences will be at work which will com
pel a dispassionate consideration of it.
The British will not be permitted to
"rush" the American position as they
would a Nicaraguan port or a 'Matabele
kraal. 2T."Y. Tribune.

'Walla Walla Statesman : Spokane is
to have a city market as soon as a loca
tion can be secured and a building
erected. Such a market is one of the
needs of AVaila Walla. In the first place
the consumer would bave all the advan
tages of competition, for he could go to
the market everv morning and could
there find everything wanted, and the
puce would be regulated according to
the suddIv. He would have the advan
tage of visiting a dozen different stalls if
he wished, and of choosing the very
best and freshest.
La Grande Chronicle: Huntington,
Baker City and Union are all competi
tors for the trade of the Cornucopia
mining district. The people of Hunting'
ton have succeeded in the opening ot a
road along Snake river in this section
In Union a subscription paper is in
circulation for funds to improve the road
to Cornucopia, in an effort to control the
trade of that camp, and the Baker City
Democrat advises its people "to be on
their guard." All these points- recognize
the advantage of securing trade from
outside districts. Pendleton has stead
fastly adhered to a similar policy. La
Grande should lose no time in profiting
by these examples.-
Yesterday afternoon the case of Wil
liams & Co. vs. A. A. Urqnhart and
Anna Urqnhart came to a speedy con
clusion. When the evidence of the
plaintiff was in the attorney for the de
fendant, Mrs. Urquhart, moved for a
non-suit, on the ground that the com
plaint did not allege that the defendants
were husband and wife.. Judge Brad
shaw granted the motion and the case
was dismissed.
