Ever since the treaty of Ghent we have been establishing onr northern boundary with Great Britain until a year or two ago, when the work was finally completed by a jomt commission, /eonsisting of Major Donald R, Cameron, | royal artillery, Capt S. Andersen, reyal en- gineers, and Capt. A. C Ward, reyal en yineers, for Great Britain, and Arehibald Campbell and Capt. J. Twining, United |Statca Army, for our Government. The Feonvmission experieneed difticultiy in dis- | charging their datiea, from the errors com- | mitted by former commissioners. Iw April, 1870, while engaged in locating a military | reservation for a post near Pembina, ew engineers discovered that the | COMMONLY RECEIVED BOUNDARY LINE | between the British possessions and the United States at that place was 4,709 feet tsoutw of the forty-migth parallel, aud if run on weet [rem such am initial point, would throw the furt of the Hudson Bay Com- pany at Pembina into the United States. Here was indeed a difficulty, and the effi- evrs at once communicated the facts to their Government. The President, Gen. Grant; sent the iuformation te the Britieh Goverument, and reqnested the eonsert of the United States tu ocenpy the fort of the fifidson Bay Company until the matter could be determined. Of course, such a reasonable request was at once granted. Phe President then sent a message to Con- gress, recommending the establichnient of 4 joint commission to fix the true boundary line between the two conatries, and Cun- gress assisted, appropriating $100,000 by joint resolutiea te earry out the werk. ihe appropriatien was not available until i872, when the work was begun, as abeve stated, by a joifit commission of the twe | Governments. The northern boundary is MARKED BY STONE CAIRNS, iron pillars, wood pillars, earth mounds and timber pusis.
