in its top, located 7 feet north ofthe Northern Pacific Railway, l mile 
eastward from Cabinet, Idaho, L50 feel eastward from sign "1 mile 
to Cabinet," 150 feet eastward from a cut at sharp curve in railroad 
track. 
84. Iron post, stamped "63.98 M.," 1 mile south of the Northern 
Pacific Railway, 0.2 mile northward from Baker's house, amid heavy 
timber on south bank of small stream flowing X. 75° \Y. 
85. Iron post, stamped "64.95 M.," 1.9 miles south of the Northern 
Pacific Railway at the foot of mountain, 100 feet west of the mouth 
of a small stream in deep ravine; amid heavy timber. 
86. Iron post, stamped "65.70 M.," 2.7 miles south of the Nort btern 
Pacific Railway, under west brow of a long, narrow ridge, about 300 
feet south from where the ridge begins steep descent; amid dense 
timber. 
87. Iron post, stamped "66.50 M.," 3.5 miles south of the Northern 
Pacific Railway, on top of high east-west ridge, about 300 feet east, 
of its junction, with a north-south ridge; amid scattering large timber. 
88. Iron post, stamped "67.46 M.," on top of high east-west, tim- 
bered ridge, 1 mile north of the west fork of Elk Creek, aboul one- 
fourth mile east of where the ridge joins north and south ridge. 
89. Iron post, stamped "68.475 M." (post should have been stamped 
"68.44 M."), in heavily timbered bottom, 60 feet uorth of the (\vy bed 
of the west fork of Elk Creek, about 1 mile west of the mouth of a 
creek from the southwest. 
90. Iron post, stamped "69.08 M.," on top of narrow east-west

into the top of the monument. The monument stands on the top of 
a bare grassy ridge, amid scattering dead trees, at the junction of a 
ridge from the west with said ridge. The ridge at this point bears 
NW.-SE. and forms the summit of the Bitterroot Mountains. (See 
I I. XI, B.) 
It will be recalled that it has been previously mentioned that an 
error was made in the field computation, the result of which was to 
locate the starting point of the random line 177 feet east of the true 
point. The transitman did not know of this error when he surveyed 
the random line, but as a result of a personal equation introduced into 
his work his line varied from a true line by a constant swing toward 
the west, so that when he reached the international boundary the 
point on the random line was 43 feet east of the true point. Thus, in
