The maps,compiled from if such unuenai kind ar.d proportions. The reason for it all is that increas- ing settlement and development in parts of the border country snake it necessary to know which province has atlmirristratiorr rights at ary particular point. Contagion has at times arisen over mining claims and farming lands, which could not be accurately located, all existing naps showing errors of 1 S 0 11 one three site sometimes two or `side or the other. To aro' 1 further trouble on this score the c. -o boun- dary lino, even across the mountains, is now being determined. There is to be lid more uncertainty about these neighbors' lots. Th work began in the summer of 1913, a general plan of operations and an equal division of costs having been agreed upon by the three govern- ments. Boundary commissioners were apt:cant'd in the pears ,ns of three ex- perienced surveyors, who undertook first to mark the border line through the passes, following approximately the watershed, and tnen to carry it be- yond the passes, over the -hills and in- to the wilds, by photo -topographical surveys. Concrete Monoliths. The border line in the passes is es- tablished by a series of straight lines which appxoxinuate the true- position of the watershed. Concrete monu- ments are built at favorable points on the watershed, and the linos between, them are tate boundary, care being taken so to place these monuments as to equalize, as nearly as possible, the area of land that the connecting lines may cut off. - Placing monuments on a boundary line corresponds to setting posts for a fence. It is considered a most im- portant part of the work and is carried out with great thoroughness uuder ex- traordinary difficulties. The monu- ments are concrete monoliths three feat high above the surface and 2,700 pounds in weight, built solidly into the ground, not more than half a mile apart and each visible from the next nearest one. Brass name plates, bear- ing numbers and letters by which the r4spectibe passes have been desig- nated, are bolted to each monument, one on the Alberta side and onr on the British Columbia side. The :aona- dary fence posts, thus placed and named, are there to stay. Open to the Sky. • In the timbered sections of the boun- Hospital.
