A Difficult surveying party now
Siirwviii 1-Vnt. engaged in hazard
ous work in Alaska
and he has been writing to the East
Oregonian setting forth his experi
ences in the frozen north.
Two of the biggest jobs of survey
ing ever attempted are the marking
of the boundary between Alaska and
Canada, which has just been com
pleted, and the marking of the south
ern boundary of Canada, which is
" in progress, itotn surveys, says
the July Popular Mechanics Magazine,
in an illustrated article, are of a diffi
cult nature, and the Alaskan bound
ary particularly so, because of the
mountainous and, in parts, inacces
sible characer of the regions trav-
etssed.
The most difficult part of the line
was that starting nt Mount St. Elias.
jon the southern shore of the peninsu-
l;i of Alaska, and running southeast
I along 8 peaks of the coast range to
i the head of the Portland Channel, a
distance of about 700 miles. Much of
this section of the boundary was in
accessible, and could only be reached
v nere It was crossed by Inlets con
netting with the sound that parallels
the coast. From these points the
peaks that mark the boundary, as
i well as the topography along the line,
I were located and mapped by trlangu-
lation and photo-surveying methods.
The line running north from Mount
t-'t. Elias to the Arctic Ocean was not
so difficult of access, although It lies
4! over glaciers and some of the highest
mountains in the world, but the work
of marking was in many ways more
like arctic exploration than an ordi
nary job of surveying. This line runs
due north and south, following the
141st meridian (longitude west from
Greenwich), and is now marked by
188 stone monuments set about three
miles apart. Everything had to be
packed from the base of supplies, and
for this purpose 200 American and
Canadian horses were used. The to
tal length of the Alaskan boundary U
1,507 miles, and the cost of surveying
it was II, 500,000.

It is remarked almost daily by
travelling men and other visitors In
the city that Pendleton
Pendleton's is in a better condition
Fortunate than almost any other
Position. town In the northwest.
They speak of the bustl
ing appearance of the streets and
stores and of the tact there are no
vacant business locations and of the
dearth of dwelling houses to rent.
These conditions are the. more strik
ing because of the status of affairs
elsewhere. Most northwest towns
.have lost population during the last
year or so. Some have lost heavily
and there are empty houses galore.
II is commonly reported there are 400
vacant houses in Walla' "Walla and
Walla Walla is not the only town in
such a plight.
Pendleton's sound condition at such
a time as this is a tribute to the geo
graphical location of the place and
to the resources back of this little
city. There is a wonderful entplre
adjacent to Pendleton. Furthermore
it is a region that has not been closely
developed and has never been exploit
ed. The section between Pendleton
and Ukiah is particularly open to de
velopment and such work will follow
the construction of the Pilot Rock
branch southward.
The reservation section is capable
of doing much more than at present
and there is much hope for that sec
tion and for Pendleton in the proba
bility Indian irrigation rights will be
established upon the reservation. With
the reservation irrigated, even in part,
that section will be capable of pro
ducing much more than at present
and of supporting a far larger popu
lation. Pendleton Is also in line to profit
greatly by the settlement of the west
end Irrigated districts. So far the
real settlement there has been small
ompared with what it will be. The
bulk of the land under the Umatilla
project is now unused because of
speculation. There !s about one-sixth
of the land under cultivation. Within
a few years the remainder of the pro
ject will be settled and developed and
from that growth Pendleton will de
rive its proportionate share of benefit.
Reports show that there are 141
municipalities in the United States
where schools are con

The Need. vacation school was
first devised with a
view to keeping certain children off
the , streets. The theory was that
such children would be better off in
a school than at home or under home
surroundings. But the vacatlonal
school is now past the experimental
stage and in the view of good educa
tors such schools represent a genuine
educational demand. The results ob
tained show that the policy is sound.
The children who attend are bettered
mentally, physically and morally. But
of course these schools are not intend
ed for the average child who gets
enough school work during the regu
lar term. The vacational school's
purpose is to take care of those who
may be deficient or who for any rea
son would suffer were they not in
school.
ir ror no other reason the facts
about the vacational schools are of
interest because they show the grow
ing tendency to adopt school methods
to existing conditions. People are
getting away from the idea of having
a school a cast iron machine into
which all children must be placed at
a certain time and removed at a cer
tain time wholly regardless of the in
dividual needs of the child.

state the power to deal with local
commerce. If this local commerce Is
incidentally interstate, the power still
resides in the states until such time
cl3 congress Bees fit to exercise it.
"Until congress acts, the states may
act."
In practice the court temporarily
leaves the new western doctrine of
state rights intact, except in respect
to the power of the federal courts to
suspend and review rates imposed by
the states. But In theory the court
opens up the way to complete federal
regulation and control of all rail
roads. There Is no railroad of import
ance that Is not an interstate railroad.
There is relatively little traffic that
is not "incidentally or Indirectly" in
terstate traffic in its relation to rates.
Whenever congress chooses to use all
the power that, in the opinion of the
court, the Constitution has conferred
upon it, there will be little in the way
of railroad traffic left for the states
to' regulate.
Some of us may not regard this
complete federal control over rail
roads as desirable, but It is impos
sible to follow the history of railroad
regulation during the last twenty
years without regarding it as inevit
able. In the meantime the supreme
court is maintaining the status quo.
When congress has not imposed regu
lations, the states may, even though
these regulations incidentally affect
commerce between the several states.

Unless we misread the unanimous
opinion of the United States supreme
court in the .Minnesota rate case, the
decision is neither a victory for the
railroads nor a victory for the state.
The court refused to accept the
contention of the railroads that the
rates fixed by the Minnesota commis
sion were in effect a regulation of
Interstate commerce, although it held
that in one instance the rates were
confiscatory and hence invalid. On
the other hand, the court rejected the
extreme state-rights contention that
the rates were wholly within the pro
vince of the state and hence not sub
ject to federal regulation or review.
The court declined to admit that
there Is a twilight zone In the regu
lation of commerce. The power of
congress to regulate Interstate com
merce Is absolute, and this power ex
tend "to evenr Instrumentality and
agency" by which such commerce i
carried on. There remains to the

Hair Is of two kinds: Imported and
domestic. Most ladies of today have
both.
Hair Is usually acquired at some
period during life. It is taken on
gradually and with gentlemen usu
ally persists until the age when they
have to stay away from home nights
to get much needed recreation.
Hair may be fixed, fleeting or de
tachable. In the case of men, It Is
sometimes detached by the barber,
either with scissors or hair renew
ers, or by a close member of one's
family who removes Jt with loving
fingers. In the case of women, hair
Is very timid and changes color on
the slightest provocation.
According to the celestial system
of accounting every hair is properly
