LINE OF FRIENDSHIP MAY MARK TRADE ROUTE Hearliiflii in a (Joaon cities ??i i>?>i it countries by t lie I ' 11 i t ?*<! Sl:ilt?* mill Canadian Joint commission to C0IV?lde4 connecting the St. Lawrence river unit the Great Lakes by a canal system awakened a new Interest In the .nearly 4,000 miles of border that separates' thl? country from Its neighbor to the north. The boundary between the two grout IOngH,sh-speaklng countries of America, giving them Joint ownership of some of the greatest hikes hi the world, as well as a river of prime importance, holds possibilities for development overlooked by many of the citizen Mtockholders on both sides of the line. The single scheme now under discus^ felon for the construction of canals to handle ocean-going ships foreshadow** a work that would rival In magnitude and importance even the epoch-making engineering feats at Panama. Wi^i ^huge canals connecting the waters of the Great Lakes and the* St. Lawrence, ships capable of negotiating any \ueaffier could still with tin* ore, coal ami grain of the western United States and Canada, directly jo any port of t Imv-Scvoii seas. Discussion by the two countries of the feasibility of engaging Jointly in the development of their border wafers Is in contrast with some of the stormy Incidents in which the boun dary has figured. Known In recent years as "the border wit Inmt fort S.-I1 and come at last to be regarded as a line of amity and friendship. It is per haps not generally realized now I bat on! II the cumulative efforts of years resulted not long sgo In the settlement of some long-standing disputes, the t'nl.ted States-Canadian boundary was the source of almost continual misun derstanding. Many times there were unpleasant Incidents, twice the coun tries were on the verge of war. and for well over a hundred years after the close of the ({evolutionary wur diplo mats, commissioner*, and even neutral kinprs and emperors acting as arbitra tors were kept busy trying to stqalght en out the ninny snarls Into which a border line can become tangled.. Much of the trouble in regard to the boundary resulted from Ignorance of the geography of the coil n try on the part of the early negotiators. The St. Croix river which the earliest treaty stated should form the eastern line of Maine at the very starting point of the International boundary was not satisfactorily Identified at first, and this caused friction for some years. A second- geographical error ? the, as sumption that the Lake of the Woods drained Into Lake Superior ? Is respon sible for the rather Indefinite boun dary of small lakes and brooks be tween the two largo lakes. The be lief that the Mississippi river had Its source In Canada, and field notes In accordance with that belief, brought about the existence of a tract of land of a hundred square miles, cut off on a peninsula on the northern shore of the Lake of th* Woods, practically sur rounded by Canadian territory and many miles across the water from oth er land of the United States.

One Mai lorquln of noble family is said to have waited 4.*? years in determining to lead his sweetheart t < > the altar, with no protest from her, and without having been slain in exasperation by his moth er In law. Last summer during the latter part of July when the thermometer in Washington and" New York Stood around 90 degrees In the shade, and In Madrid ran to blood heat, the breezes fanned .these island folk to the tune of 7t5 degrees. Nor Is tills wonderful Island an Im practical place to spend a few months. There are about 1-0 miles of railroads on the Island, and a system of local roads which permit of a traveler's vis iting many of the chief points of in terest with ease ami comfort These people who take life so lel? urejy are not lazy, shiftless or un pleasant In personal appearance or manner. The'y are Intelligent, honest, capable of work, sober and economi cal. These characteristics preserved throughout centuries of uninterrupted peace and tranquillity have made them peaceable, trusting, and homelovlng. The men are of medium' height, strong, and 'agile. They have competed bril liantly In many of the championship sporting events held in Spain, and wherever they lave gone on the con tinent their undertakings have been marked with success. And as for the women, Colonel March. In writing of them, says: "They posses* the same lovely skin as the women of North America, features as if sculptured by Phidias or Praxiteles, and they walk like goddesses." Hut he laments In the next breath that they know noth ing of the "Joy of living." due par tially to ancestral Arabic Influences, and to the fact that their Island has. for so long, been under strict repres sion. He calls Mallorca "the loveliest cage on ,the plaret, Its wonderful, In telligent and gracious women being extremely bored. ' And nn all-important feature ? the eost of living Is low iff Mallorca. Who would not be astonished to know that he could become a member of the j "Koval Club of Kegattas," fully and ' comfortably eiju pped. f??r about -0 j rents a month In dues'; Though prices ! rose here a-> elsewhere during the war. the Spanish colorel says that It Is the "spot of all Kur.vp.' and America.

Older folk may remember when citizens tricked themselves out In red shirts and gla/.ed caps and carried torches in the front of a procession, or formed part- of the bodyguard of the gallant old tub as It paraded the streets on a gala occasion. Then passion for fire fighting ran to a high pitch and argu ments were waged about the merits of particular engines. Today tho throbs of a motor-driven engine are taking the place of those heart throbs. The hordes that might have clattered from their stalls, glided beneath their har ness, and raced gloriously through the drizzly, night-darkened streets before the fire-spllting demon, are drawing farm wagons <or plowing the field. In by gone days communities were i dependent upon volunteers, and men jfrom nil social ranks gave valuable time to qualify for the service.
