THE LABORATORY OF AN AMERICAN BAKERY, WHERE ALL THE INGREDIENTS ARE 



CAREFULLY TESTED 



MARKING THE ALASKAN 

 BOUNDARY 



UXUSUAL difficulties are being met 

 and overcome in marking the 

 Alaskan boundary as determined by the 

 Boundary Tribunal at London in 1903. 

 The shortness of the season in which the 

 work can be done, the absence of all 

 trails, the necessity of climbing almost in- 

 accessible peaks, and the severe cold 

 practically all the time have made the 

 surveying of the boundary a very hard 

 problem. The work is, however, being 

 pushed vigorously by both the United 

 States and Canadian governments. 



The illustrations on pages 180-189 will 

 give the reader an excellent idea of the 

 region in which the work is being done. 

 These illustrations are from photographs 

 by Messrs Radclifre Hordern and E. R. 

 Martin, of the Alaskan Boundary Sur- 

 vey, and have been sent to this Magazine 

 through the courtesy of Hon. O. H. Titt- 

 mann, Alaskan Boundary Commissioner 

 for the United States. 



Kate's Needle, whose peculiar profile 

 is shown on page 180, is about 10,000 

 feet high, and is the highest mountain in 

 southeastern Alaska outside of the Saint 

 Elias and Mount Fairweather ranges. 

 It is one of the boundary mountains se- 

 lected by the Tribunal of London, 

 Whichever of the pinnacles projecting 

 above its summit ridge is chosen as the 

 exact turning point in the boundary will 

 be a grander and more enduring monu- 

 ment than any which can be built by 

 human agency. The reader will note the 

 remarkable profile of a female face with 

 a striking head-dress. 



The mountain is the source of great 

 glaciers lying on its slopes, and from one 

 of these in a most inaccessible region 

 this photograph was taken by Mr Rad- 

 clifre Hordern, of the Alaskan Boundary 

 Survey. The mountain is 8 miles west of 

 the Stikine River and about 34 miles from 

 Point Roberts at the mouth of the river. 



The views on pages 181-189 were all 

 taken by Mr Martin in the vicinity of 

 Glacier Bay, Alaska.
