BOUNDARY SURVEY
IS A HARU JOB
Is 8aid to be as Difficult and
More Dangerous Than Trip
to the Pole
A half dozen American survey
ors have jus! started for Alaska
fo run the line between that coun
try and Canada, and mark the.
boundary. It is a terrible stretch
of territory through which they
will have to pass. They cross the
"Nala/hat mountains between Sko
Jai pass and Mount. St. Elias, a
distanre of 80 miles. The boun
dary surveyors must proceed due
south along the lilst meridian
«»f longitude, regardless of gla
ciers and mountain peaks, if the
line leads over a peak 1 i,000 feel
high, they must climb tin* peak.
Asa C. \V. Ttaldwin. leader of the
Alaska expedition, says:
"From Cordova wo shall lake

Neither the north pole nor the

the hardships which Ihese sur-j
veyors must encounter in Iheir
perilous work in marking the
Alaska-Canada houndnry. They
arc men who possess Ihc cour

I He is not connected, in any
way, with corporations or other
