These were the orders 'given the fence makers, the carrying out of which is proving to be a tack if such unusual kind and proportions. The reason for it all is that increas- . ing settlement and development in parts of the border country make it 'necessary to know which pfovince has * administration rights at any particular Pont Confusion has at times arisen over mining claims and farming lands, which' could not be accurately Eoated 'all "existing maps showing errors of sometimes two or three miles on one 'side or the other..

The work began in the summer of 1913, a geperal plan of operations and an cqyfial division of costs having been agregfis pon by the three govern- ments, Boundary commissioners. were appointed in the persons of three ex- perienced surveyors, who undertook first to mark the border line through the passes, following approximately the watershed, and then to carry it be- yond the passes, over the hills and in. to the wilds, by photo-topographical surveys.

'The maps, compiled from the survey data and printed at \Ottawa for just such use, will show the na- tural watershed line along the moun- tain range, as photo-topographically defined, and in the passes a series of straight lines only approximately fol- lowing the watershed, but clearly a g 'definitely marked out.

A despatch from Toronto says: -- Tuesday, March 9, has been definitely decided upon by the Ontario Govern- ment as the date for the opening of the Legislature, according to an an- nouncement by Premier E. C. Drury. Between now and that date the one big task at.the Parliament Buildings will be to get the machinery oiled and everything in readiness for what will be the first. session of the fif- teenth Legislature, and which prom- ises to be a notable one. That there is much to be done be fore the second Tuesday in M § is agreed on all sides. The Go ment intends concentrating at this, its first session, on improving legis- lation dealing -with- education; good roads, reforestation and fire protec- tion. While the good roads policy has been elucidated in considerable detail, proposed change# in the 'edu-| cation and reforestation and fire pro-/ tection laws have not been outlined! except in a general way, and the bills will have to be drafted by the Govern, ment and its legal advisers, Then, too, the Government will have| to prepare the way for bringing in| legislation to carry out certain| changes in the Civil Service adminis~ tration, that have been foreshado: in addresses which the Ministers have made in recent weeks. A pension bill| to enable many long-service employ-/ eas to retire is iving the ider-| ation of the Government, and likely be introduced. The estimates will also have to be gone over.
