Congress at its last session ap
propriated 100,000 as the amount
to be expended to determine the
boundary line between Alaska and
Canada. Messrs. McGrath and
Turner, of the United States coast
survey, are engaged on prepara
tory work of the survey. These
two gentlemen wiil work on the
Porcupine river a branch of the
great Yukon, and determine the
141 degree meridian, along which
theboundary line passes. At the
present time it has not been set
tled if any parties will proceed to
Demarcation point, on the shores
of the Arctic, but it i3 possible
that some work will be inaugurat
ed north of tho Porcupine river,
in order to determine the nature
of the country, its features and re
sources. Messrs. McGrath and
Turner will leave Puget sound in
May next, and expect to be en
gaged for two seasons in the far
north. Other parties will work
north from southeastern Alaska to
tho Yukon, and it is expected that
in 1890 the commissioners of both
the "United States and Canada will
be able to definitely settle the ter
ritorial rights of their countries.

Young women who aspire to a
pleasant, responsible, congenial po
sition in some comfortable business
office, where their services as sten
ographers and typewriters shall
bring quid pro quo in merited
cash, must cultivate other things
beside proficiency in shorthand
hieroglyphics and the keyboard of
the typewriter. The otherday the
fair upplicant for an excellent po
sition in the city was put through
a preliminary test. Her fingers
were skilled and her appearanee
and manner all that could be de
sired. But her brain and tongue
were not up to the requirements,
and her speech lacked the subtle
something which her position
called-"for.--She- said "unexperi
enced," and she wrote "would
have" "would of." That settled
the ambitious damsel, in so far as
that office was coucerned.
In tbese days niceties of speech
must, in writing, be embodied
even in business letters, and the
cirl that can speak and write the
English language as it is spoken,!
and written among people of re
finement will be the girl to sit at
the merchant's or manufacturer's
elbow and transfer his speech into
written expressions. Tho "I seen"
and "I have saw" and "I done"
crirl, though she may be able to
take down 100 words a minute in
short hand, or write 150 words a
minatewith theclicking keys, will
about as readily get a permanent
position in the office of a leading
business man as a iiactnan camel
will pass through the eye of a cam-
brio needle. Uood grammar and
correct speech daily enter more in
to the everyday life of business,
and the girl that combines these
with a quick brain and manual
dexterity will have tho choice of
positions of trust and emolument
in the cosy, well appointd business
office. Jrutsbura JUulletm.
Washington's EepreHentation.
If "the fiftieth congress should
see fit to admit Washington as a
state during this session the peo
ple would bo able to hold their
constitutional convention, frame
their constitution and elect two
senators and a .representative to
the fifty-first congress which meets
in December of 1889. Our pres
ent population would entitle us to
one member of congress, but for
tunately our admission will occur
just beforo the tikmg of the
eleventh census, in which enumer
ation it will probably be found
that Washington is v entitled to
two representatives in the lower
house. The house is now com
posed of 325 members and there
is no likelihood of this number
being increased. The apportion
ment at present is one representa
tive to every 153,000 inhabitants.
This apportionment was based on
a total population in the United
States of about fifty millions. Our
population in 1890 -will certainly
amount to, if not exceed, sixty
millions, by which estimate a rep
resentative in congress will be
allowed to every 1S0.000 inhabi
tants. Washington territory to
day contains at least 200,000 peo
ple, and by tho time the census is
taken in 1890 will probably have
300,000 people. Judging by the
presenl rate of immigration, this is
a low estimate, so jt is only rea
sonable to hope that by the new
apportionment Washington will
be tepresented at the national
capital by two senators and two
members of the bortse of repre
sentatives. Post-Intelligencer'
