The Interprovincial Boundary Commission as first formed in 1913 was composed of three members, Viz., J. N. Wallace, D.L.S., Dominion representative, A. O. Wheeler, B.C.L.S., British Columbia representative, and R. W. Cautley, A.L.S., Alberta representative. These three gentlemen carried on the work of the Commission until July, 1915, when the Dominion Government decided that its interests could be looked after by the Alberta representative, Mr. Cautley. So, from July, 1915, Messrs. Wheeler and Cautley have carried on the boundary work to the satisfaction of the various governments involved.
